Modelo de estructuración financiera de una titularización de flujos futuros en el mercado de valores ecuatoriano para una empresa de business process outsourcing

El objetivo de la presente tesis es establecer un modelo de estructuración financiera para una titularización de flujos futuros que permita a una empresa de business process outsourcing financiarse en el mercado de valores ecuatoriano. A partir de los ingresos generados por prestación de los servicios de la empresa, se establece un modelo de series de tiempo autoregresivo integrado de media móvil (ARIMA) con componente estacional, para la proyección de los flujos de la titularización de flujos futuros. Este modelo permitió establecer tres escenarios: moderado, optimista y pesimista, en base a la proyección y a sus intervalos de confianza. Adicionalmente, para la proyección de los estados financieros se establecieron varios supuestos, los cuales permitieron la proyección del balance general, el estado de resultados y los índices financieros. Se llega a establecer los niveles de costo en el cual incurrirían las empresas si requerirían financiamiento, ya sea con las diferentes alternativas del mercado de valores como son: obligaciones, titularizaciones y acciones, o mediante crédito del sistema financiero.

Unleashing Competition in EU Business Services. CEPS Policy Brief No. 284, 24 September 2012

In most EU member states, the business services industry has booked no productivity growth during the last two decades. The industry’s performance in the other member states was weaker than that of its US counterparts. Exploring what may be causing this productivity stagnation, this policy brief reports that weak competition has contributed to the continuing malaise in European business services. The study analyzed the persistence (over time) of firm-level inefficiencies. The evidence further suggests that competition between small firms and large firms in business services is weak. Markets for business services work best in countries with flexible regulation on employment change and with low regulatory costs for firms that start up or close down a business. Countries that are more open to foreign competition perform better in terms of competitive selection and productivity. The policy simulations in this paper show that greater import openness strengthens competition in business services markets. The largest positive impact comes from lower regulatory barriers for growing and shrinking firms. More particularly, competitive selection would be fostered by a reduction of administrative and regulatory costs related to labour contracts, bankruptcy and start-up requirements. A key element of the European Commission’s Europe-2020 strategy is the Single European Market for Services. Business services form one of the largest industries in Europe – and given its productivity stagnation, it deserves to be a priority target of the Europe-2020 strategy. Improving the way the business services market functions may have large positive knock-on effects for the EU economy.
