Lally (2007) concludes that regulators must estimate the risk-free rate as the yield-to-maturity on Government debt with a term-to-maturity equal to the regulatory period, to ensure that the present value of expected cash flows equals the investment base. The analytics behind this conclusion assume that forward rates are an unbiased estimate of future spot rates, an assumption which is inconsistent with empirical evidence. This has an important economic implication. With the typical case being that the yield curve is upward-sloping, adopting a short-term risk-free rate would result in equityholders being systematically undercompensated for the actual risk involved in a long-lived project. If we adopt an alternative assumption that current rates are an unbiased estimate of future rates, the regulated rate of return is a function of the entire forward curve of interest rates and the accounting depreciation schedule. For long-lived assets, benchmarking against the yield-to-maturity on long-dated Government securities results in a far closer approximation of the appropriate return than the use of short-term rates.

This study investigates how three distinct cultures – Maliseet, French, and British – engaged with and transformed the ecology of the Wəlastəkw/rivière St. Jean/St. John River, the largest river system in the Maritimes and New England. Ranging three centuries, ca. 1550‐1850, it examines cultural interactions relative to the river’s fish, banks, and flow to assess ecological changes. By developing comparisons among Maliseet, French, and British relationships to the river, it analyzes how cultural groups modified and expanded on the ecology of other peoples. Drawing upon a vast array of sources, including Maliseet oral traditions and language, archaeological surveys, scientific studies, historic maps and paintings, as well as diaries, letters, and reports of the waterway and its banks, this research makes significant contributions to a number of scholarly fields: river ecologies and human adaptations of them, Maliseet history, seigneurial settlement in colonial societies, Loyalist ecology, colonial and municipal legal history, historical cartography, and the role of ecological knowledge in governance and environmental activism. Moreover, it contributes to early modern North American environmental history, as well as global studies of rivers. This study brings a historical perspective to pressing economic and political issues facing the watershed today, including conflicts over natural resource use, the impacts of dam construction and removal, climate change adaptations, flood mitigation and prevention, fisheries conservation, and the effects of invasive species. While most historical scholarship on the region is focused on specific linguistic and ethnic groups, this study bridges these divides, bringing together Maliseet, Acadian, and British histories into a single study. The wider temporal and cultural scope and the centrality of the Wəlastəkw/rivière St. Jean/St. John River to the study’s analysis offers a poignant reminder that humanity’s intimate relationship to nature has points of commonality that are as important to understand as our points of difference. This study attempts to do both.

The standard valuation technique - discounted cash flows (DCF) - estimates value as the present value of expected future cash flows. This technique is typically implemented under an assumption that investment policy is independent of prices. In reality, management responds to fluctuating commodity prices by altering investment policy, such that production expands in the high price scenario and reduces in response to low prices. Management''s ability to exercise these options to alter investment policy is valuable - approximately 30 percent of the value of high-growth, high volatility firms can be attributed to the value of embedded options (Hall, 2005). Since close to one-third of large, Australian-listed firms are using option pricing techniques to improve decision-making (Truong, Partington and Peat, 2005), this is likely to replace DCF as the standard valuation technique in the foreseeable future.

In this paper I examine the relationship between equity valuation and four value drivers - revenue growth, volatility, profit margin and competitive advantage. I derive equity valuation models which are more robust than those used by equity analysts in practice, but require analysts to consider very little additional information. The paper is motivated by evidence that the typical multiples-based valuations of analysts are not associated with improved portfolio performance. Prior research suggests that analysts devote considerable resources to forecasting near-term earnings, but derive target prices from those earnings in an almost arbitrary fashion. In contrast, the valuation practices of industrial firms show an increasing level of sophistication.The models'' predominant assumption is that firms'' competitive advantage is unlikely to be sustained indefinitely. This implies that long-run expected returns on reinvested earnings are equal to the cost of capital - a concept generally-accepted in the literature but which typically results in valuations below transaction prices. Hence, I also account for the value of management''s option to alter investment policy in response to signals regarding expected future growth. This assumption can be implemented by simulating earnings over an assumed competitive advantage period and computing the mean valuation which results from those simulations.

We examine whether it is profitable to trade according to the recommendations of analysts who made accurate earnings forecasts in a prior year. Prior research has shown that analysts who made the most accurate earnings forecasts in the current period also made the most profitable recommendations during that period. Unfortunately, our research shows that these accurate forecasters cannot be identified on the basis of their track record. While there is statistically significant evidence that forecasting ability is persistent, it is not sufficient to generate profitable stock recommendations in the future. We also attempted to identify superior analysts with respect to the combination of forecast accuracy and recommendation profitability. Even with this finer segmentation of analysts there is no difference in their ability to make profitable recommendations in the future. Furthermore, regardless of forecasting ability, analysts are pre-disposed to recommend stocks with low book-to-market ratios and positive price momentum. This bias may impede their ability to make profitable recommendations.
