Target Leverage and Leverage Deviation in Corporate Spin-Offs
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2021This paper examines the role of target leverage and deviation from target leverage in corporate spin-offs. Using the setting of corporate spin-offs as large disinvestment projects, I examine if managers of firms follow target capital structures. I show that the changes in target leverage of spin-off parents triggered by the spin-off are not addressed ...

Is there a leverage target for REITs?
The Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance, 2017Abstract The literature on capital structure shows no concensus on whether firms target a debt ratio and, if such a leverage target exists, at what speed firms close the gap between their actual and targeted debt ratio. This paper investigates whether there is a target debt ratio for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and to what extent such a ...

REIT Leverage and Return Performance: Keep Your Eye on the Target
Real Estate Economics, 2017 This article examines U.S. REIT leverage decisions and their effects on risk and return. We find that the speed at which REITs close the gap between current debt levels and target leverage levels is 17% annually. REITs that are highly levered relative to

Leverage target and payout policy
Journal of Financial Research, 2020AbstractDepending on whether the existing debt is below or above target debt level, some firms are more willing to raise debt (if needed) than others. In this article, I show that firms are more likely to both increase and smooth dividends when they have below‐target debt after controlling for access to debt.

Weapon target assignment leveraging strong submodularity
2013 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA), 2013Optimal weapon target assignment problem involves NP-complete searching process and becomes computationally impractical as the number of weapons and targets increases. Existing approaches, therefore, only consider approximate method with heuristic searching scenarios, which are, however, no theoretical performance guarantee for the level of accuracy ...

Leveraging Distal Vibrotactile Feedback for Target Acquisition
Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems, 2019Many touch based interactions provide limited opportunities for direct tactile feedback; examples include multi-user touch displays, augmented reality based projections on passive surfaces, and mid-air input. In this paper, we consider distal feedback, through vibrotactile stimulation on a smart-watch placed on the user's non-dominant wrist, as an ...

Leveraging P4 Flexibility to Expose Target-specific Features
Proceedings of the 3rd P4 Workshop in Europe, 2020P416 was designed with extensibility and flexibility in mind to accommodate evolving and domain-specific needs as its adoption grows over time. Such design has proven effective and beneficial based on our experience in using P4 to program the datapath of the Pensando distributed services processor conceived to deliver performance and scale in the ...

Leveraging Therapeutic Potential of Multi-Targeted Sirna Inhibitors
Future Medicinal Chemistry, 2009While the discovery of RNA interference (RNAi) has been considered one of the most significant breakthroughs in biomedicine, its prospects for novel therapeutic applications are even more exciting. The high specificity, exquisite selectivity and chemical homogeneity of small interfering RNAs (siRNA; intermediates in RNAi activity), provide unique ...

Diversification and target leverage of financial institutions
Journal of Multinational Financial Management, 2018Abstract This study examines the relationship between financial institutions’ corporate strategy (i.e. asset side diversification) choices and capital structure decisions. Using a sample of 412 French financial institutions for the period 2002–2012, we first estimate target debt ratios.
