A set of rules is applied to minimize the time to traverse through the area in association with the event, summed over the multiple participants, accounting for physical and incentive-compatibility constraints. An initial assignment is determined for each participant, based on the rules. Each initial assignment includes a departure time and an initial route for the participant. Updated information is received, such as real-time traffic information. Real-time recommendations are determined for participants, based on the rules accounting for the updated real-time data. Recommendations include suggestions to deviate from initial assignments or previous recommendations, based on the updated information. The initial assignments and real-time recommendations are provided to the corresponding participants, for example by communicating with their mobile devices.申请人:Ronald M Harstad地址:Columbia MO US国籍:US代理机构:Patent Law Works LLP更多信息请下载全文后查看。

【FRM备考要点】FRM考试主权风险部分详解处理主权风险事件的两种方式:debt repudiation 指的是直接拒绝履行贷款合约。
Debt rescheduling 是贷款重组。
二战之前repudiation比较普遍因为大部分是债券。
以后主要是贷款,贷款重组比债券重组更加普遍的原因是:1)借款者的数目减少了,使谈判的成本减小了2)辛迪加内部可能容易达成一致性3)贷款大都有交叉违约保护,使借款者不能对那些比较弱的贷款人违约4、国家为了经济和政治的原因不会贸然的违约。
1.衡量重组概率的一些指标:1)债务服务比率DSR=利息加摊消/出口(正比)。
2)进口比率IR=进口/外汇储备(正比)3)投资比率INVR=投资/GNP(可能正或者负,负的是说投资使未来的产出更高,正的是认为投资会让外国以为其不需要资金)4)出口收入的方差VAREX=(正比)5)国内的货币供应增长MG=增加的货币供给/货币供给。
2.使用传统CRA(country risk analysis)的缺点:1)关键变量的实效性和预测性2)使用的样本区间太宽了3)没有包括政治风险因素4)没有包括组合的分散效应。
5)assessing incentive to reschedule(在评估重组动机方面做得不好)6)模型中的变量的稳定性。
3.重组对借款者的好处:1)降低未来支付的现值2)增加了国内的投资率(相比较违约)。
坏处是:a.未来借不着钱,妨碍其参与国际交易b.更难申请到信用额度。
重组对贷款者的好处:a.比违约要好b.可以重新商量抵押、费用等c.税收优惠。
缺点是:a.贷款变得如同长期债券或者股票了b.金融机构会局限于特定的贷款结构c.大量的重组贷款不被监管。
4.处理主权风险暴露的机制有:1)debt-for-equity swap2)multiyear restructuring agreement3)sales in secondary markets4)debt-for-equity swap(brady bond)。

We also thank the Accounting Research Center at the Kellogg School of Management for financial support.Balance Sheet Conservatism and Debt ContractingAbstractWe study the role of cumulative conservatism in asset values (balance sheet conservatism) on private debt contracting. We focus on balance sheet conservatism to isolate its effect from conditional conservatism which has been studied in the prior literature. We hypothesize that balance sheet conservatism provides lenders greater confidence in the collateral value of the firm’s assets and reduces the risk in the loan (Asset Value Hypothesis). Second, we hypothesize that balance sheet conservatism constrains future conditional conservatism such that debt contracting efficiency is high only when the balance sheet conservatism is not high (Constraint Hypothesis). Using a sample of bank loans we study interest spreads, deal size, covenant intensity and covenant slack and find results consistent with our hypotheses. Our study sheds light on the screening and monitoring role of balance sheet conservatism in debt contracting.Balance Sheet Conservatism and Debt Contracting1.IntroductionLenders rely upon financial statements for screening and monitoring of borrowers. Prior research has provided evidence of the linkages between borrower financial reporting choices and debt contracting (see surveys by Holthausen and Watts, 2001; Fields, Lys, and Vincent, 2001; and a discussion by Sloan, 2001). This study focuses on how conservative accounting choices in borrowers’ financial statements impacts contract terms in private debt contracts. The evidence builds upon insights from recent literature which has examined a similar question (for example, Beatty, Weber and Yu, 2008; Zhang, 2008; Frankel and Litov, 2007; Nikolaev, 2007). The primarily focus of these studies to examine how ongoing conditional conservatism facilitates monitoring of the borrower. In contrast, in this study we focus on how conservative asset values on the borrowers’ balance sheet impact the setting of both the initial contract terms and the post-loan monitoring terms by lenders.1We define “balance sheet conservatism” as the cumulative conservatism in asset values and it includes the effects of both conditional and unconditional ongoing conservatism in periods prior to the loan contracting year. Therefore, balance sheet conservatism results in downward-biased estimates of asset values. We conjecture that the role of balance sheet conservatism in debt contracting could be twofold.First, balance sheet conservatism could provide important information for screening the borrowers. The downward-biased asset value estimates could provide valuable information to lenders about the collateral value of the assets of the firm and the risk of non-realization of 1 In general lenders are interested in the assessment of liquidation values of asset-based collateral as reflected on the balance sheet and the ability of the borrower to make periodic interest payments as reflected in the income statement and cash flow statements. Our focus is primarily on the debt contracting effects of the borrower’s balance sheet values of assets.loaned amounts. For example, Watts (2003) highlights the role of conservative asset values in alleviating the concern of lenders with respect to preservation of asset values in the event of potential repayment problems of the borrower.2 However, based on Ball and Shivakumar (2006) it is not clear whether balance sheet conservatism would affect debt contracting above and beyond past conditional conservatism.3 Based on their argument, to the extent that the balance sheet conservatism is driven by past unconditional conservatism, any known bias in asset values can be undone. This suggests that any economic role of balance sheet conservatism in debt contracting would be largely subsumed by conditional conservatism of the borrower. However, while the effects of unconditional conservatism could be inverted, information asymmetries between the borrower and lender could make it hard for the lender to completely achieve this inversion. Thus the ultimate effect of balance sheet conservatism, through downward biased asset valuation, on debt contracting remains an open empirical question.To explore these effects we relate the borrowers’ level of balance sheet conservatism at the time of loan initiation on the cost of debt, access to debt and level of monitoring terms set by the lender. We expect that if downward biased asset values are valuable to the lender, borrowers with higher balance sheet conservatism would have a lower cost of debt, larger loan size, lower ex ante monitoring provisions (measured as number of covenants and slack in covenants). Alternatively, if understated asset values merely add noise then we expect that it would be contracting neutral or may even increase borrowing costs. We label these conjectures as the “Asset Value Hypothesis” of balance sheet conservatism.2 According to Watts (2003), understated asset values (driven by asymmetric treatment of gains and losses) could “prevent actions by managers and others that reduce the size of the pie available to all claimants on the firm” (p. 215).3 While unconditional conservatism that is invariant to news always introduces a downward bias in asset values, the downward-bias in asset values arising from conditional conservatism arises from the combination of timely loss recognition and delayed gain recognition based on realization. Watts (2003) does not explicitly distinguish between conditional and unconditional conservatism, Basu (2001) and Ryan (2006) suggest that Watts’ argument may involve both types of conservatism.The second role of balance sheet conservatism in debt contracting relates to monitoring of borrowers. Balance sheet conservatism includes timely recognition of adverse economic events (i.e. conditional conservatism) in the past that could signal the borrower’s willingness to make conservative accounting choices.4 Such conditional conservatism is valuable for lenders who could then monitor the firm using accounting based covenants and they reward borrowers with lower spreads (Zhang, 2008). However, firms who have been very conservative in the past are constrained in their ability to use write-downs to signal negative economic shocks in future if their asset values are already reported at their lower bound estimates, even when they consistently apply the same conservative accounting policies. We conjecture that balance sheet conservatism provides an estimate of the degree of the constraint on future conservatism at the time of loan contracting. High balance sheet conservatism would reduce the monitoring benefits to the lenders who would then be unwilling to offer lower spreads. We label this conjectured role of balance sheet conservatism on design of monitoring terms as the “Constraint Hypothesis”.5 We measure balance sheet conservatism by building on Roychowdhury and Watts (2007) who suggest that cumulative conservatism can be measured as the extent to which reported asset values understate the fair value of separable assets. As they point out, the market-to-book ratio would be a noisy measure of balance sheet conservatism because the market value contains the value of monopoly rents in addition to the value of separable assets. Further, several papers view market-to-book as the proxy for unconditional conservatism. In fact existing studies have documented mixed results on the effect of market-to-book ratio on debt contracting (Wittenberg-4 Prior literature has argued that litigation risk and reputation concerns will prevent firms from changing their conservative accounting policies.5 The constraining effect of the asset values in balance sheet on income statement conservatism has been discussed in prior research by Basu (2001), Givoly et al. (2006), and Ryan (2006), modeled by Beaver and Ryan (2005), and empirically tested by Pae et al. (2005), Ball and Shivakumar (2005), Gassen et al. (2006) and Roychowdhury and Watts (2007). However prior studies examining effects of conditional conservatism on debt contracting have tended to assume that the level of past conditional conservatism is a good proxy for the level of future conditional conservatism in earnings (Zhang, 2008).Moerman, 2008; Beatty et al., 2008; Zhang, 2008; Ahmed et al., 2002).6 Therefore, to avoid issues related to noise in measurement of cumulative conservatism using market-to-book ratio, we adopt a different approach. We implement a model to tease out the effects of economic rents, growth options, distress, and market sentiment inherent in the market-to-book ratio. The idea behind the approach is to arrive at an estimate of the fair value of the borrower’s separable assets to the book value at the point of the loan grant. We compute our measure of balance sheet conservatism as the residual from a regression of the book-to-market ratio on proxies for rents, misvalutions in the market value, and default risk.7We perform a battery of robustness tests to check the validity of this measure. First, we regress the two components of book-to-market from our model, the fitted value (representing growth opportunities and rents) and the residual (representing balance sheet conservatism) on measures of timely loss recognition, conservative accruals and unconditional conservatism. We find that while our measure of balance sheet conservatism is related to proxies for past conservatism in the expected way, the fitted value does not demonstrate such relations. Second, when we estimate the Basu (1997) regression on groups of balance sheet conservatism and fitted value, only the balance sheet conservatism groups demonstrate patterns in timely loss recognition consistent with balance sheet conservatism resulting from past conservatism and constraining future conservatism. We describe these in greater detail in Section 4.3.With regards to conditional conservatism, we use two alternative measures to address concerns inherent with individual firm-level measures.8 The measures are the sensitivity of 6 While Beatty et al. (2008) and Ahmed et al. (2002) document that market-to-book ratio or its adjusted version (following Beaver and Ryan, 2000) is related to debt contracting, Zhang (2008) and Wittenberg-Moerman (2008) find no evidence that market-to-book ratio affects either interest spread or trading spread.7 Such a method is similar in spirit to what Beaver and Ryan (2000) do to decompose the book-to-market ratio into two components, persistent bias and temporary lags in book value.8 See Ryan (2006), Dietrich et al. (2007), and Givoly et al. (2007) for detailed discussions of measurement issues of conditional conservatism.earnings to bad news from Basu (1997), and the amount of negative non-operating accruals from Givoly and Hayn (2000). We then use principal components analysis to obtain the first principal component of these measures as a parsimonious measure of conditional conservatism of each firm.9To test our hypotheses, we examine loan contracts during the period 1996 through 2006. With respect to our conjecture about the screening role of balance sheet conservatism we find that firms with higher balance sheet conservatism, on average face lower interest spreads. The change in interest spread is economically significant. Going from the 25th to the 75th percentile, balance sheet conservatism decreases the spreads for borrowers by 11 basis points. Next, we find that controlling for firm and deal characteristics, the size of the deal is increasing in balance sheet conservatism suggesting that borrowers’ access to capital is increasing in balance sheet conservatism.Finally, we examine whether the bank’s monitoring effort is designed to be lower if balance sheet conservatism helps in better ex ante screening. We find that firms with higher balance sheet conservatism have debt agreements containing fewer covenants, both accounting based financial covenants and general covenants that restrict actions of the management. Further, the net worth covenant slack is also looser for these borrowers. Taken together, the results suggest that lenders do not ex ante expect to intensively monitor borrowers with higher balance sheet conservatism.We then examine the constraining effect of balance sheet conservatism. Conditional conservatism is expected to improve debt contracting efficiency through the monitoring role only when the balance sheet conservatism is not high. Ignoring the constraint effect, we find some evidence that on a stand-alone basis, conditional conservatism results in lower spreads, consistent with Zhang (2008), and higher reliance on financial covenants (defined as the ratio of 9 Our results are robust to using a composite rank measure as well.the number of financial covenants to the number of total covenants). However, past conditional conservatism and balance sheet conservatism are related constructs and therefore the effects of past conservatism alone cannot be interpreted without accounting for the balance sheet conservatism. We therefore interact past conditional and balance sheet conservatism at the firm level to examine the constraint hypothesis. We create nine mutually exclusive groups out of the interaction of independent sorts of conditional conservatism and balance sheet conservatism into three groups each (low, medium, and high). Holding constant the level of balance sheet conservatism, we find that spreads are decreasing in conditional conservatism only in the low balance sheet conservatism group, consistent with the constraint hypothesis. Further, we find that this result is driven by firms that have a high usage of financial covenants relative to general covenants.Finally, we find that conditional conservatism is positively associated with reliance on accounting based covenants to monitor borrowers. After we interact past conditional and balance sheet conservatism using the nine groups based on a two-way sorting, we find that the positive association only exists for the groups that have low balance sheet conservatism, again supporting the constraint hypothesis.This study highlights the difference in contractibility between conditional conservatism and balance sheet conservatism when designing debt contracts. While lenders value ongoing future timely recognition of losses, borrowers must be both willing and able to follow conservative accounting after the loan origination. In contrast, balance sheet conservatism represents pre-commitment by borrowers and provides the lenders ex ante benefits in terms of lower bound asset valuation. Our results show that lenders recognize this and consequently charge lower spreads and grant bigger loans for firms with high balance sheet conservatism and impose fewercovenants and provide more slack in their net worth covenants. Balance sheet conservatism also affects the ability of firms to be conditionally conservative in the future and thus has an additional indirect impact on debt contracting. Lenders value the role of ongoing conditional conservatism only when balance sheet conservatism is not binding.The rest of the paper is organized as follows: Section 2 introduces various concepts of conservatism. Section 3 outlines the research hypotheses. Section 4 describes the sample, the variable measurements, and the research design. Section 5 presents the summary statistics and the empirical results. Section 6 concludes the study.2. Conditional, unconditional and balance sheet conservatismTwo types of conservatism result in understatement of the book values of net assets relative to the economic values. One is defined by Basu (1997) as representing “accountants’ tendency to require a higher degree of verification for recognizing good news than bad news in financial statements” (p. 4). The asymmetric verification leads to timely recognition of economic losses but not economic gains. Examples of this type of conservatism include lower of cost or market accounting for inventories and asset write-downs. Under timely loss recognition, reported earnings are more sensitive to contemporaneous losses, which make the income statement more informative to users who care about firms’ downward risks but not the upside potential. The impact on the income statement also flows through to the balance sheet due to the relation between the two financial statements. Writing down assets under bad news but not writing up for good news can result in persistent understatement of net assets on the balance sheet.The other aspect of conservatism that causes understatement of assets is the selection of ‘conservative’ accounting methods (Basu, 1997; Givoly et al., 2007). Examples of such unconditional conservative accounting are immediate expensing for R&D costs, the use ofaccelerated depreciation method relative to economic depreciation, and LIFO inventory valuation. This type of conservatism lowers asset values, and such a balance sheet effect persists over time while it generally result in understating earnings in the early years of an asset’s life to eventually overstating earnings in the later years.Both types of conservatism lead to understatement of asset values, but they differ in their potential to convey new information in the financial statements (Ball and Shivakumar, 2005; Beaver and Ryan, 2005; Ryan, 2006). Timely loss but not timely gain recognition introduces understatement conditional on the type of the news and is therefore called conditional conservatism. In contrast, applying conservative accounting methods brings in understatement by systematically allocating the cost over the life of an asset, without reflecting new information about changes in asset values (Basu, 2001, p. 1334), and is therefore referred to as unconditional conservatism. Ball and Shivakumar (2005) argue that the known biases (in earnings and asset values) are likely to reduce contracting efficiency as the biases do not bring any new information but noise to contracting parties.In this study, we focus on balance sheet conservatism, which is the cumulative effect of past application of conditional and unconditional conservatism. The cumulative effect is reflected as persistent understatement of net asset values on the balance sheet. Balance sheet conservatism relates to conditional conservatism in two respects. On one hand, conditional conservatism, by writing down, but not up, the book asset values, contributes to balance sheet conservatism at the end of the period. On the other hand, balance sheet conservatism at the beginning of the period creates accounting slack that constrains future application of conditional conservatism, affectingboth the likelihood and the magnitude of future write-downs.10 For a detailed discussion also refer to Beaver and Ryan (2005), for a model of the interactions between conditional conservatism and unconditional conservatism at a conceptual level.While the first effect can be easily understood from how balance sheet conservatism is defined, the second one is less obvious and is illustrated in the following example. Suppose a firm has a very low book value of an asset compared to its economic value, either caused by past asset write-downs or by adopting very conservative accounting methods or both. When there is a negative shock, unless the shock is sufficiently big so that the economic value drops below the book value, the firm will not recognize the bad news in the financial statement. Therefore, over a wide range of economic shocks conditional conservatism would not be observed for the firm. Moreover, even if the negative shock was big enough to trigger a write-down, the amount of the write-down for such a firm would be smaller than for firms with less accounting slack.3.Hypotheses Development3.1 Asset Value HypothesesOne strand of literature on conservatism emphasizes that downward bias in net asset values help to address the agency problem in debt contracting.11 Early literature on the study of accounting choices argues that income-decreasing accounting methods are preferred in debt contracting because they result in lower distributions to shareholders and management and thus leave a bigger pie to lenders. By examining samples of debt contracts, Leftwich (1983) finds evidence consistent with the argument that the adjustments to measurement rules make lending agreements systematically more conservative.10 Accounting slack is usually defined as the difference between economic value and book value. However, according to Roychowdhury and Watts (2007), accounting slack is only the difference between market value of net separable assets and book value of net assets.11 The other strand points out that only timely loss recognition (conditional conservatism) increases contracting efficiency. Such an argument will be discussed in developing the Constraint Hypothesis.Based on Basu (1997), Watts (2003) incorporates the aspect of “asymmetric verification requirements for gains and losses” (p. 208) into his argument on the role of accounting conservatism in contracting. Watts argues that understatement of net assets serves to constrain management opportunism and wealth transfer when contracting parties have “asymmetric information, asymmetric payoffs, limited horizons, and limited liability” (p. 209). Specifically, reporting net assets at the lower bound, derived from either prior timely loss recognition or unconditional conservative accounting methods, increases verifiability of net asset values, given managers’ incentives to introduce bias and noise in financial reporting. Understatement of net asset values not only helps to prevent improper distribution of firm wealth to managers and shareholders at the expense of debtholders and as a result increases the loan value, but also lowers the risk of uncertainty in asset valuations for lenders when borrowers are in the worst case scenario. Consequently, lenders would be willing to lend larger amounts to borrowers with higher balance sheet conservatism at lower interest spreads.Further, balance sheet conservatism increases the collateral value of net assets when assessing liquidation value of the firm. Since lenders in private debt mostly have senior claims against net assets of the firm, more confidence on net asset values may reduce the need to monitor the loan. Therefore, for borrowers with higher balance sheet conservatism, lenders would rely less on the use of covenants and if using net worth covenant, would set looser net worth covenant to avoid frequent covenant violations, which could be costly in debt contracting process. Formally, our first set of the hypotheses based on asset values are stated in the alternative form as:H1a: Interest spread is decreasing in balance sheet conservatism.H1b: Loan size is increasing in balance sheet conservatism.H1c: Covenant intensity is decreasing in balance sheet conservatism.H1d: Net worth slack is increasing in balance sheet conservatism.3.2 Constraint HypothesesBasu (1997) and Ball and Shivakumar (2005) highlight the importance of conditional conservatism in contracting. By timely reflecting contemporaneous loss information in financial statement, conditional conservatism increases contracting efficiency. Specifically in debt contracting, timely loss recognition affects the effectiveness of the use of covenants. Once a borrower’s financial condition deteriorates, timely loss recognition triggers covenant violation more quickly. Therefore, lenders are able to obtain the control rights in a timely manner and take necessary actions to protect their interests.What is essential in the above argument is that it is ongoing conditional conservatism with its potential to provide new information to contracting parties that really matters in the contracting process. Since lenders cannot observe future conditional conservatism at loan origination, prior research studying how conservatism affects debt contracting terms assumes that lenders use past level of conditional conservatism as a proxy for the borrower’s willingness to be conditionally conservative in the future. Zhang (2008) and Nikolaev (2007) explicitly address the validity of this assumption in their studies examining the effect of past conditional conservatism on loan pricing and covenant intensity, respectively. They point out that borrowers’ reputation effects and other constraints, such as the threat of auditor litigation or using fixed GAAP in computing covenants, would keep borrowers from changing accounting practice. But, even if borrowers could precommit to apply the same accounting practice after entering into the debt contracts, it isstill uncertain whether borrowers could keep the same level of conditional conservatism given the interactions between conditional and balance sheet conservatism.12Beaver and Ryan (2005) conceptually use a model and simulation to capture how past applications of unconditional conservatism and conditional conservatism create accounting slack that preempts future conditional conservatism. The model is rich in terms of analyzing different forms of unconditional conservatism and frictions in the application of conditional conservatism and emphasizes that the application of conditional conservatism is probabilistic and history-dependent (p. 272). Consistent with Beaver and Ryan’s (2005) conjectures on the constraining effect, empirical studies document that a negative association between the market-to-book ratio as a proxy for accounting slack caused by past conservatism and subsequent conditional conservatism (Pae et al., 2005; Ball and Shivakumar, 2006; Gassen et al., 2006; Roychowdhury and Watts, 2007). The constraining effect of balance sheet on income statement has also been examined by Barton and Simko (2002) in a different context. They find that overstated net assets on the balance sheet constrain managers’ ability to bias earnings upwards in the future.Due to the constraining effect of balance sheet conservatism on future ongoing conditional conservatism, we hypothesize that lenders would consider such a constraining effect and structure contract terms accordingly. Specifically, the relation between past conditional conservatism and debt contracting terms documented in prior studies would be driven by the firms with low levels of balance sheet conservatism (i.e. where the balance sheet conservatism does not constrain future conditional conservatism). We focus on two contracting terms, loan pricing and covenant intensity. As Zhang (2008) finds that lenders reward more conditionally12 Borrowers’ willingness to commit to the same accounting practices has been examined in the studies testing debt covenant hypothesis (DeAngelo et al., 1994; DeFond and Jiambalvo, 1994; Sweeney, 1994; Dichev and Skinner, 2002). The results are mixed. In this paper, we assume that borrowers are willing to apply the same accounting practices and focus on borrowers’ capability to maintain the level of conditional conservatism.。
