    Corporate Governance Provisions and Risk-Adjusted Performance in the U.S. Restaurant Industry
    (2009-11-11) Madanoglu, Melih; Karadag, Ersem; Upneja, Arun
    There is a growing awareness that corporate governance variables play an important role in firm performance. While the majority of researchers argue that firm performance is positively associated with corporate governance structure, some other scholars suggest that there is no link between corporate governance/shareholder rights and firm performance. In order to test the effect of corporate governance on firm performance we included 35 publicly-traded restaurant firms in our study. In order to find the effects of the shareholders’ rights on firm performance we employ the G-Index score developed by Gompers et al. (2003) and retrieved data between 1990 and 2006. Normally, the G-index score ranges between 0 and 24. However, in our study, it ranged between 3 and 13. As a result, companies which had a G-index of 8 or lower were classified as “democratic” governance firms. On the other hand, companies with a G-index of 9 or higher were placed into “moderate” governance firms category. That is, no “dictatorship” firms existed as per definition of Gompers et al. (2003). The dependent variable (firm performance) was measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Operating Cash Flows (OCF) and five risk-adjusted performance measures (Sharpe Ratio, Treynor Ratio, Jensen Index, Sortino Ratio, and Upside Probability Ratio. The findings show that democratic firms outperformed moderate portfolio based on ROA and ROE after controlling for size and leverage. We report that governance provisions do not explain significant variation in firm performance for the remaining performance measures. Future studies should use absolute dollar value measures such as Economic Value Added or Shareholder Value Added to provide additional insights into this area of research. We are hopeful that these avenues of research will be explored in the near future.

    AHFME Academic Members 2003 Total Annual Earnings Survey
    (2005-01-01) Schmidgall, Raymond S.
    This study was conducted to determine the 2003 annual earnings of hospitality financial management educators. Fifty-seven percent of AHFME’s members affiliated with educational institutions responded. Annual base salaries ranged from $33,000 to $172,000. The lowest-paid member is an instructor while the highest-paid member is a full professor. Most respondents supplement their base salaries by both teaching during summer school and consulting. The total annual earnings of members ranged from $33,000 to $252,000. Hospitality financial management educators appear to be more highly compensated than hospitality industry financial executives.

    Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance: A Snapshot from the Lodging and Gaming Industries
    (2009-01-01) Jackson, Leonard A.; Hua, Nan
    This study examines the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and financial performance for a sample of lodging and gaming companies. The study attempts to answers the question: do lodging and gaming companies ranked highly on CSR initiatives outperform their counterparts that are not highly ranked? The study utilizes data of publicly traded US hospitality firms obtained from the CRSP and Mergent databases. The study also uses the Fortune CSR ranking survey for hotels and casinos. The findings suggest that lodging and gaming firms with well executed CSR initiatives have higher profit margins and higher return on equity than the rest of sampled firms. Future studies should examine CSR and financial data for multiple years as well as the types of CSR initiatives that lead to better financial performance in the hospitality industry. Further explorations can be carried out by utilizing multiple accounting, CSR and market measures as well as by examining a diversity of companies since more is likely to be revealed when variables such as leverage and business structure are subjected to further scrutiny.

    Emperical Investigation of the CAPM vs. Fama-French Model: Evidence From the Lodging Industry
    (2005-01-01) Madanoglu, Melih; Olsen, Michael D.; Kwansa, Francis A.
    Proper estimation of the cost of equity continues be a challenge for business executives in their capital investment decisions. This is evidenced by the heated scholarly debate in the last two decades over the issue of what model should be used in estimating cost of equity capital. The present study empirically investigates two of the main cost of equity models in their capacity to explain the variability in the lodging stock returns. The results reveal that Fama-French model consistently outperforms the Capital Asset Pricing Model in its explanatory power of cross-sectional lodging industry portfolio returns for the examination periods of 1993-2002 and 1998-2002. In addition, the Fama-French model provides a more realistic cost of equity estimate by adjusting for size and financial distress of the lodging portfolio.

    An Examination of Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities-Some Useful Insights for Borrowers
    (2002-01-01) Nagpal, Amit; Sheel, Atul
    Commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) have emerged strong and have faced a generally positive credit environment since the last recession. As the market grew out of recession in the early 1990s, the primary focus remained on providing better and safer returns to investors. Tied in their lock box, a period that contractually prohibits the borrower from all prepayments, the borrowers kept holding tightly onto their loans. Currently, as the delinquency rate on loans has been on the rise, and as the mortgage market offers refinancing opportunities at lower interest rates, more and more borrowers are looking to transfer or to refinance their loans. This paper examines commercial mortgage-backed securities and provides useful insights for borrowers to find their way out of CMBS loans.

    The Long-Run Equilibrium Relationship Between Economic Activity and Hotel Stock Prices
    (2006-01-01) Chen, Ming-Hsiang; Kim, Woo Gon
    This study examines a long-run equilibrium relationship between economic activity and hotel stock prices. A hotel stock return model is formulated with the error correction term based on the results of the cointegration analysis. The model shows that changes in industrial production, changes in money supply and the error correction term are significant influences on hotel stock returns. The negative sign of the error correction term indicates that although the cointegrating relationship experiences the short-run deviations, the system tends to revert to the equilibrium relationship. This study highlights the importance of including the error correction term into a stock return model.

    The Post-Merger Equity Value Performance of Acquiring Firms in the Hospitality Industry
    (2000-01-01) Sheel, Atul; Nagpal, Amit
    This paper investigates long run equity value performance of acquiring firms in the hospitality industry. The performance analysis has been done using the Jensen Measure Model and the Market Model. The study shows significantly negative equity value performance of the acquiring hospitality firms at least for the period 1980-2000. As such, the impact of mergers and acquisitions on equity value of acquiring firms in the hospitality industry is better understood.

    Hospitality Sector Revenues and Employment in the Eagle Ford Shale, 2010-2019
    (2022-11-14) Oyakawa, Javier
    By taking advantage of proprietary data from input- output tables’ time series and by using econometric methods, this study estimated job and output multipliers affecting the hospitality sector in Eagle Ford Shale (EFS) between 2010 and 2019. In 2019, in the EFS area, the hospitality sector, including the hotel and food subsectors, received 32.5% of its increased revenues from oil and gas activities when comparing the years 2019 and 2010. For each new job in the energy industry, the hospitality sector received between $10,185 and $12,744. In the same year, hotel subsector revenues due to oil and gas activities explained 78.7% of its increased revenues when comparing the years 2019 and 2010. With each job created in the energy industry, the hotel subsector received between $4,828 and $5,398.
