Are Mortgage Loans the New Toasters? The Roles of Housing Demand and Political Patronage in Mexican Housing Finance Author-Name: Jenny Schuetz
Full text linkThis paper tests for evidence of political manipulation in the allocation of subsidized mortgage loans in Mexico during the 1990’s. First, I develop a baseline model of loan allocation across states as a function of housing need, eligibility for lending programs, and administrative capacity to deliver housing. Then, I add measures of political competitiveness to the model. Empirical results suggest that the two largest lenders generally allocated loans according to their eligibility criteria, granting more loans to states with more income- and employment-eligible households and poorer quality housing. Tests for political manipulation suggest that more loans were, in fact, granted in federal election years and in states where the ruling party did not perform well in the previous election. However, the numbers lack statistical significance. As a result, it can be assumed that political motivation played a relatively small role in the allocation of loans.Mortgage loans; Housing subsidies; Political patronage; Mexico
Aligning PTCI Strategies to Global Corporate Strategies Using Scenario Planning
No full textAbstract :
Profitability and growth are two important and essential measures to a firm existence and survivability. Profitability is critical to a company’s short-term existence, and growth is crucial to long term survivability. Every business wants to maintain its existence and bring value to its stakeholders. Divestment and merger acquisition are part of the company strategy to achieve business growth that fulfil the company objectives, purpose, vision, and mission. In the case of a multinational company, it normally would have a global corporate strategy. Subsidiary companies will follow the strategic guidelines from its parent company. Thus, subsidiary company needs to align its strategy to the parent global corporate strategy.
Scenario planning used to answer the key focal issue about how to align subsidiary company strategy to its parent company global corporate strategy. One option for a firm to cope with uncertainty is scenario planning. Scenario planning is a unique tool compared to other decision analysis methodology. Scenario planning uses information on key uncertainties and certainties concerning the future to assemble an information rich illustration that provides eloquent descriptions of future worlds.
The data collected in this study comes from literature studies, interviews, questionnaires with internal and external stakeholders. External analysis is using the PESTEL framework and Porter Five Forces model. While internal analysis is using Growth-Share matrix, VRIO framework, and Strategic Diamond model. Information is consolidated to give driving forces that would shape up the future. Two driving forces that give the highest impact and uncertainty, Indonesia economic growth and company Product Innovation, are defined as critical uncertainty and used to construct a 2×2 scenario matrix. The scenario matrix, implication, options, and early warning systems are explored for each scenario to align subsidiary company strategy to its parent global company strategies

Strategic Decision Making for Facility Optimisation in Indonesia’s Gunung Kemala Oil Field Using AHP
Full text linkThe focus of this research is the strategic optimisation of surface production facilities under capital and governance constraints, in Indonesia’s brownfield oil assets of Gunung Kemala (GNK), within a state-owned-enterprise (SOE) governance context. An integrated Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) model is formulated, jointly involving Value-Focused Thinking (VFT) to organise policy objectives, Kepner–Tregoe (KT) Decision Analysis to filter “Must” criteria and “Want” criteria, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for ranking four strategic alternatives: i.e., constructing a new facility, upgrading current facilities, utlisation of idle assets and renting third-party infrastructures. The raw data was obtained through conversation, focused group discussion and expert pairwise comparison with seven experts from domain knowledge. The comparison results reveal that utilization of idle assets appears as the biggest preferred alternative (global priority weight = 0.547) and compared to greenfield & brownfield expansions. This dominance derives from the capital efficiency, faster deployment time, reduced regulatory exposure and better alignment with asset-governance constraints. This research presents an integrated VFT–KT–AHP decision framework that is designed specifically for the brownfield bottle necks in emerging-market upstream settings. It expands the traditional AHP application from technical based ranking to incorporate issues in governance feasibility and asset utilization strategies as an internal capital allocation decision logic, providing a solution model that is applicable with other SOE oriented energy systems
