Whole life performance bid evaluation in the Korean public sector

Korea has increasingly adopted design-build for public construction projects in the last few years. There is a much greater awareness of the need to change a system based on ‘Value for Money’ which is high on the government's agenda. A whole life performance bid evaluation model is proposed to aid decision makers in the selection of a design-builder. This is based on the integration of a framework using an analytic hierarchy process as the bid awarding system is being changed from one based on lowest price, to one based on best value over the life-cycle. Key criteria like whole life cost, service life planning and design quality are important through the key stages of evaluation process. The model uses a systematic and holistic approach which enables a public sector to make better decisions in design-builder selection, which will deliver whole life benefits, based on long term cost-effectiveness and whole life.

Bid-ask spread dynamics in foreign exchange markets

The aim of this paper is to examine the short term dynamics of foreign exchange rate spreads. Using a vector autoregressive model (VAR) we show that most of the variation in the spread comes from the long run dependencies between past and future spreads rather than being caused by changes in inventory, adverse selection, cost of carry or order processing costs. We apply the Integrated Cumulative Sum of Squares (ICSS) algorithm of Inclan and Tiao (1994) to discover how often spread volatility changes. We find that spread volatility shifts are relatively uncommon and shifts in one currency spread tend not to spillover to other currency spreads. © 2013.

Bidding For Parking: The Impact of University Affiliation on Predicting Bid Values in Dutch Auctions of On-Campus Parking Permits

Parking is often underpriced and expanding its capacity is expensive; universities need a better way of reducing congestion outside of building costly parking garages. Demand based pricing mechanisms, such as auctions, offer a possible solution to the problem by promising to reduce parking at peak times. However, faculty, students, and staff at universities have systematically different parking needs, leading to different parking valuations. In this study, I determine the impact university affiliation has on predicting bid values cast in three Dutch Auctions of on-campus parking permits sold at Chapman University in Fall 2010. Using clustering techniques crosschecked with university demographic information to detect affiliation groups, I ran a log-linear regression, finding that university affiliation had a larger effect on bid amount than on lot location and fraction of auction duration. Generally, faculty were predicted to have higher bids whereas students were predicted to have lower bids.

Lineamientos básicos para la elaboración de procedimientos de auditoría a proyectos administrados por unidades ejecutoras gubernamentales financiados por BID/BIRF.

La afluente ayuda recibida de los Organismos Internacionales ha permitido que el Estado implemente o cree unidades especializadas para que administren los recursos provenientes de dichas instituciones por lo tanto, los entes financieros requieren entre otras cosas, de la contratación de firmas privadas para la realización de auditorías a proyectos. De ahí surge la inquietud de conocer las bases que se utilizan en la práctica para la elaboración de procedimientos de auditoría y cuáles son las principales dificultades que enfrentan los profesionales en esta etapa. Se realizó una investigación de campo con el objetivo de determinar la experiencia que poseen las firmas de auditoría en el área de proyectos y basándose en ello proponer un documento que contenga la información que unifique en cierta medida los criterios para la preparación de procedimientos de auditoría. Para la recolección de información se utilizó la investigación bibliográfica, encuestas y entrevistas dirigidas a firmas auditoras. Los resultados obtenidos de la información mostraron que la mayoría de firmas no cuenta con bibliografía completa que les permita conocer a cerca de las exigencias de los Organismos Financieros y sobre la ejecución de los proyectos, por lo que la base principal para brindar los servicios al cliente es la experiencia de su personal,y la rotación de este ocasiona serias deficiencias en prestación de los servicios de auditoría al cliente, puesto que la mayoría de veces el profesional no cuenta con los conocimientos mínimos sobre el área de auditoría a proyectos, observándose la necesidad de la elaboración de una guía que contenga la información referida; principalmente en lo relacionado con la elaboración de procedimientos, ya que a través de ellos se obtiene la suficiente evidencia para formarse una opinión y emitir el respectivo informe.
