Takeover Protections and Asset Prices

We study the effects of takeover feasibility on asset prices and returns in a unified framework. We show theoretically that takeover protections increase equity risk, stock returns, and bond yields by removing a valuable put option to sell the firm, notabl ...

Computational tool for stock-constrained design of structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jonas Warmuth, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Designing structures from reused elements is becoming an increasingly important design task for structural engineers as it has potential to significantly reduce adverse environmental impacts of building structures. To allow for a broad application of this ...

Riparian wetland properties counter the effect of land-use change on soil carbon stocks after rainforest conversion to plantations

Thomas Guillaume

Progressive conversion of tropical rainforests to agricultural monocultures in South East Asia increasingly affects landscape types such as riparian areas. The impacts of conversions on soil organic matter (SOM) vary with changing landforms. However, this ...

Linear Stochastic Dividend Model

Sander Félix M Willems

In this paper, we propose a new model for pricing stock and dividend derivatives. We jointly specify dynamics for the stock price and the dividend rate such that the stock price is positive and the dividend rate nonnegative. In its simplest form, the model ...

Optimum design of frame structures from a stock of reclaimed elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This paper presents optimization methods to design frame structures from a stock of existing elements. These methods are relevant when reusing structural elements over multiple service lives. Reuse has the potential to reduce the environmental impact of bu ...

Optimum design of low environmental impact structures through component reuse

Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Load-bearing systems (structures) in buildings and infrastructure contribute to a significant share of adverse environmental impacts (EI) because of resource- and energy-intensive fabrication. A currently overlooked circular economy strategy to reduce EI i ...

Form follows availability – Designing structures through reuse

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

This work proposes a new direction in structural design: the synthesis of structures through the reuse of elements. Reusing structural elements reduces the environmental impacts of building structures because it avoids sourcing new material, it reduces was ...

Exploration of spatial structures made from reused elements and the design of optimal kits-of-parts

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Gennaro Senatore, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting

Reuse reduces raw material use, waste generation and energy consumption caused by building construction. A substantial share of these impacts is contributed by load-bearing systems be-cause of their mass- and energy-intensive production process. Therefore, ...
