the hazards posed by volcanoes around the world (40 marks) Your main factors can be put into two simple categories. Human and physical. From there you can then further explore the factors. In my essay I will mainly focus on viscosity‚ location‚ settlement and perception and explore how the physical and human factors intertwine with each other through one simple idea that physical factors dictate the hazard while human factors exacerbate the hazard. From here we must define a hazard. A hazard is a

Case Study The Amazon basin (equatorial) - the effects on tropical climate. The Amazon basin in South America‚ vegetated by tropical rainforest‚ lies within the equatorial climate zone and covers an area of some 8‚235‚430 km 2 mainly in Brazil. The Amazon River flows through the basin from its source high in the Andes towards its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean‚ and is the largest single source of freshwater runoff on Earth‚ representing 15-20% of global river discharge. At present the amazon rainforest

planning mitigate the effects of a volcanic hazard (40 marks) Volcanic activity happens across the surface of the globe therefore bringing hazards to every affected area. A hazard is any source of potential damage‚ harm or adverse health effects. A volcanic hazard is any threat to life and infrastructure due to volcanic activity and related situations such as a landslide near the volcano. Volcanoes can be very dangerous and therefore present many hazards towards both people and land. They have the

“Moral hazard‚ asymmetric information and IPO lockups” by Yung and Zender (2010) We will first examine the development of various hypothesis surrounding lock-ups‚ this will be followed by the empirical results supporting the use of proxy variables and we explain how they were used to test the variety of hypotheses. Particular attention will be paid to the separate subsamples of firms‚ and the data concerning the differential correlation between underpricing and lockup length across the subsamples

‘The hazards presented by volcanic and seismic events have the greatest impact on the world’s poorest people’ to what extent do you agree with this view? (40 marks) Volcanic and sesmin events and activities can take place all over the world and therefore both more economically developed countries (MEDCs) and less economically develop countries (LEDCs) can be affected. In the last 30 years there have been masses of examples of where volcanic and seismis event have had an impact on both MEDCs and

\subsubsection{Adverse Selection and Moral Hazard Problems} The adverse selection problem can best be described as following: insiders usually have more details about the company and its real value than outsiders and this has an influence on the quality of the firms that go public (Leland and Pyle‚ 1977; Gill de Albornoz and Pope‚ 2004)). This is also called the lemons problem (leland and Pyle‚ 1977). As already discussed‚ these asymmetry costs could lead to IPO underpricing (Rock‚ 1986; Welch‚ 1989)
