Show moreBy refashioning the design and programmatic use of an offshore oil rig into a luxury hotel for ecotourists, a new age of responsible travel may emerge. By twisting the symbol of oil dependency into an ecologically preserved, environmentally accountable and revenue-producing prototype, the ideals of reuse, energy and environment can be viewed through a new lens. This design creates interesting and innovative living spaces and environments aided by sustainable integrations to create a “living machine” that establishes connections between all building systems as well as inhabitant inputs and outputs resulting in an energy independent habitat.

Show moreOur paper consists of two chapters in Financial Modeling for Sustainability and Asset Return Predictability. Recent developments in data scraping and analytical methods have enhanced the possibility to construct the data and modeling required to examine the topics in each chapter. Chapter 1 proposes a simple yet strategic model involving a personal financial system to achieve a sustainable and prosperous future. The proposed model emphasizes the optimization of carbon footprints of one person at a time through the decentralization of the electricity use. While describing steps to develop a decentralized system considering electricity as a credit product, the model also underlines the importance of geographic economic dimensions and energy market prices due to their anticipated impact on the effectiveness of designing strategies for optimizing individuals’ energy use habits. Geographical conditions as well as market electricity prices can be used to signal individual energy use scores over time, therefore could also be instrumental in customizing energy use habits as the users realize variations in their energy use scores resulting from hourly electricity price changes at their locations. In other words, not only the changes in the individual’s behavior, but also the changes in the geographical conditions and community of users will affect the improvement of energy use behaviors of an individual over time using our model. We believe that the proposed model can be efficiently adopted to take on challenges threatening the future sustainability. While describing the basic characteristics of the model, we also open the possibility for future studies its capabilities to reduce carbon footprints from other societal choices, for example, using water, managing waste, or designing sustainable transportation systems. In Chapter 2, we examine asset return predictability, which is an important topic in finance with rich literature. Much of the current literature considers dividend yield as the main predictor for expected returns, and the main discussion centers around confirming or rejecting the predictive power of dividend yield with mixed evidence. However, dividend payments have been consistently declining and public firms have been increasingly using stock repurchase as the alternative to return values to shareholders. We aim to contribute to the literature by investigating a panel data of total equity payout, which takes into account not only dividend payout but also other forms of payment such as stock repurchase, as the main predictor for expected returns. In the asset return predictability literature, existing studies gather stock repurchase data from financial statements. In this paper, we manually construct our database of returns and payouts of public companies from various sources to create precise firm-level total equity payout dataset without relying on approximations from annual financial statements. This study adds to understanding of total equity payout and stock returns by analyzing a finer granularity than an annum and cross section of stock returns.
