## Discussion of: Small Investor Demand and Allocation in Commercial Bank Managed IPOsby Manju Puri and Jörg RochollPrepared for the Center for Financial Research 2006 Fall Workshopby Kathleen McDill

- *the views expressed are mine and do not necessarily  represent the opinion of the FDIC

## Overview

- Two Parts
- Demand and allocation of IPO shares by retail investors at lead and non-lead underwriting banks.
- 2.  Growth in cross-selling of retail banking by underwriting banks.

## Investor Demand and Allocation

- Hard to obtain proprietary data set
- Retail investor aggregate demand and allocation data for 44 IPOs, including both the underwriter’s clientele  and the clientele of the other members of the syndicate.
- They find evidence that
- Lead bank retail customers demand more of the most under-priced issues.
- Non-lead bank retail customers demand more of the less under-priced issues.
- Allocations follow these differences in demand.

## Cross-Selling to Retail Clientele

- Data 15 banks from 1992-2003
- Balance sheet data
- Number and value of brokerage accounts
- Loans to retail customers
- Interest rates on loans and deposits
- Brokerage account growth
- They find evidence that brokerage accounts grow with increased IPO underwriting and especially under-priced IPO underwriting.
- Retail consumer loan growth
- Retail loan growth is correlated with IPO underwriting, especially under-priced IPO underwriting.
- Corporate loan growth
- Number of IPOs is not significantly related to growth in corporate loans.

## Discussion

- Cross-selling results are quite reasonable
- Under-priced IPO shares offered to underwriting banks’ retail customers
- → more brokerage accounts
- → more retail lending
- Access to IPO shares almost a sure bet.
- average under-pricing 25.73%
- Access to windfall only for the best retail customers
- Suggestions
- Panel treatment

## Discussion

- Why are non-lead retail customers demanding more of the less under-priced issues?
- What determines the size of the syndicate?
- What determines the marketing effort?
- More demand => less under-pricing
- Differences in size of windfall
- Suggestions
- Regression on under-pricing

## MTAC

_*Workgroup 100*_
- Seamless Acceptance for MLOCR Environment

_***Co-chairs***_
***Industry – Jay Gillotte***
***USPS – Pritha Mehra***

## Pilot Status

- Pilot mailings started on May 4 for two MLOCR inkjet mailers and added third mailer on September 12
- Prudential (4CB):  67 FCM jobs, 2,472,039 pieces
- PSI (PLANET Code):  46 FCM jobs, 182,793 pieces
- ZipSort (Unique 4CB): 11 FCM jobs, 13,982 pieces
- Using piece scan data to verify:
- Mailpiece Count
- Presort Errors
- Minimum Piece Count per ZIP Group
- Barcode Quality
- Barcode Validity

## Preliminary Findings

- Electronic Documentation Quality
- All mailers have substantially improved their manifest quality
- Piece counts differences between files are below 1% from 2.5% in August
- Tray associations are nearing 100%
- Mailpiece Counts
- Increases in scan rate allow accurate determination of the number of manifested pieces
- Presort Errors
- Errors caught by MERLIN are also found by SAVP
- Barcode Quality
- Declines in barcode quality lead to corresponding declines in scan percentage
- Barcode Validity
- Average 1.5% to 2% invalid POSTNET

- Data collected through the pilot indicates that Seamless Acceptance is possible.

## Mailer Participation

- Provide electronic documentation via Mail.dat or Web Services that includes:
- For each ZIP group (logical tray), a piece count by:
- Destination, Presort Level, and ZIP Code
- For each physical tray
- Unique Tray ID (EDL)
- For each piece
- Unique 4CB
- Presort Level
- BEI in the Permit/IBI applied to the piece

- Developing a Seamless Acceptance Process Document:

## Mailer Participation (cont)

- Universally apply appropriate barcodes
- Mailpieces: Unique 4CB including delivery point
- Tray: Unique EDL
- Pallet (Optional):  Surface Visibility Mailer Pallet Barcode
- Register Permit Indicia to ensure uniqueness
- Use BEI exclusively on Seamless Acceptance mailings

- Developing a Seamless Acceptance Process Document:

## Business Entity Identifier (BEI)

- BEIs can be 6 or 9 digits
- Large mailers will receive 6 digit BEI, all others will receive 9 digit
- Given to any customer type (i.e. mail owners, mail producers, mail preparers, etc)
- Seamless Acceptance participants must obtain a BEI used exclusively for Seamless Acceptance mailings
- Used to uniquely identify Seamless Acceptance participants
- Used to distinguish Seamless Acceptance pieces from other pieces for that customer in the mail stream

- Participants in Seamless Acceptance will need a Business Entity Identifier (BEI).

## Next Steps

- The pilot will be expanded and continued to verify initial results and incorporate additional data.

- Deploy Postage Payment for First-Class Mail (Dec.)
- Begin testing 4CB with delivery point application
- Validate Move Update through OneCode ACS
- Include additional piece scan data
- 2D Meter Barcode Scans
- Mailpiece dimension data
- Integrate Tray Weights and EOR data
- Determine appropriate tolerances for each verification element
- Explore postage assessment approach

##       System Successes

- Ability to show cost savings in pilot SSI facilitation services so legislature expanded program statewide
- Strong partnership between PATH/MH provider, local CSO, SSA/DDDS that are responsive to the needs of population
- Medicaid case rate system provides incentive to serve once Medicaid eligibility is established

##        System Barriers

- Engagement and consultative evaluation
- Resources for offsite case management (PATH, Medicaid Administration, McKinney)
- No presumptive eligibility criteria by SSA for psychiatric conditions
- Expanding best practices beyond single CSO offices

## System Barriers (Cont.)

- The entrenched histories of each mainstream system operating in its own silo prevents homeless people from getting the assistance they need and perpetuates their cycling from one system to another

## System Planning Efforts

- Taking Health Care Home Initiative has created forums for planning between local, State, and Federal— from SSA, DDDS, DSHS, DOC, city and county officials
- Policy Academy facilitates statewide dialogue and pilots
- HOPE Grant from SSA will further promote these activities and potentially the Real Choice Systems Change Grant if received

## Pre Closing AccountRelationships

- Inception to Date Proprietary Cash (10XX) =
- 	Inception to Date Budgetary Cash (4119+4201+4222+4252+4392+4395+4802+4902)
- YTD Proprietary Disbursements (1011+1013+1015) =
- 	YTD Budgetary Disbursements (4802+4902)
- Expended Appropriation  –  Direct (5700D) =
- 	Delivered Orders – Unpaid, Paid (4901D+4902D)
- Expended Appropriation (5700D) =
- 	Unexpended Appropriation – Used (3107D)

## Pre Closing AccountRelationships, continued

- Unexpended Appropriations –  Direct (31XXD) =
- 	Unexpended Appropriations (4201D+4119D+4392D+4395D+4901D+4902D)
- Unexpended Appropriation (31XXD) =
- 	Unexpended Appropriation (4450D thru 4882D)
- Reimbursements and Other Income Earned (4251R+4252R) =
- 	Revenue from Goods Sold or Services Provided (5100R+5200R)

## Pre and Post Closing Account Relationships

- Accounts Payable (21XX) =
- 	Delivered Orders – Unpaid (4901)
- Advances from Others (2310R) =
- 	Unfilled Customer Orders with Advance (4222R)
- Accounts Receivable (1310R) =
- 	Reimbursements and Other Income Earned – Receivable (4251R)
- Anticipated Reimbursements and Other Income (4210R) =
- 	Unapportioned Auth + Anticipated Resources (4450R+4590R)

## Post Closing Account Relationships

- 1010+1410+1450+2310 = 4201
- 4201+4221+4222+4251 = 4650+4801+4802+4901

## Correcting Errors

- Look for:
- Misposted PCMS transactions.  Line 1 amount of V8 doc should always equal line 2.  Line 1 TT should always be 08 and reflect replenishment of PCMS default accounting. Line 2 TT should always be 02 and reflect agency-specific accounting.
- 2.  Misposted Travel documents. The accounting code on one line of an XT doc may have been changed, but not the other. Accounting for BOTH lines of the XT must be the same.

## Correcting Errors

- Receivable Processing:
- _Normal Expenditure Transaction_
- 6100	1011
- 3107	5700
- 4610	4902
- _A1 Receivable Transaction_
- 1312	3107
- 5700	6100
- 4901	4610
- _A2 Collection Transaction_
- 1015	1312
- 4902	4901

- _Net Effect of A1Transaction_
- 1312	1011
- 4901	4902
- _Net Effect of A2 Transaction_
- Net zero

## Local View on Use of           Visual Applications  

**Local View on Use of           Visual Applications****  **

***Presented by***
**Pierce County Emergency Management **

**Pierce County**** **
***“******Terrorism Early Warning /Response Task Force”***

## Visual Applications

** ****Visual applications useful for:**
**	**- **Pre-incident Planning (e.g., preparedness, ****	****prevention, response, recovery, mitigation)****	**
- 	- **Real-time Response Support (e.g., Pierce ****	****Responder, Threat Response System)**
- 	- **Recovery Planning**
** ****Disciplines have different requirements for visual applications  (e.g., obliques, interiors, overhead, ground-level, inter-active, maps, etc.)**

**Visual Applications**

## Common Playbook     for Incident Command

** **
**   ****SWAT**

** **
**   ****EMS**

** ****   ****TRANS**

** **
**  ****PW**

** ****LE**

** **
**   ****EM**

** **
**  ****FIRE**

** **
**    ****S&R**

** **
**  ****HAZMAT**

** **
** ****COMMS**

** **
**    ****PH**

**Common Playbook     for Incident Command**

** ****National Incident Management System (NIMS) pushes for commonality in incident management plans and procedures.**
** ****The Incident Command System (ICS) works best when all disciplines operate from a common plan.**
** ****Visual applications should be a unifying element within the plan, easy to use, and support Incident Command.**

## Local Budgets

** ****Budgets will always affect the level of sophistication of the visual applications in use at the local level.  ****(e.g., Cadillac, Chevrolet, or Yugo)**
** ****Local jurisdictions want quality applications, simple to use, easy to maintain, that directly support planning and response activities, at the lowest costs (short-term and long-term).**

## Assessment Issues for Population-based Intervention Trials

- Claudio Nigg, Ph.D.
- Health Promotion Partnership/Cancer Prevention Research Center
- University of Rhode Island
- Acknowledgements: NIA grant 1 RO1 AG16588 & BCC PA workgroup

## Introduction

-  Benefits of physical activity (PA) - physiological and psychological.
-  20-30% sedentary and only about 10% active enough for health and fitness benefits.

## Why Population-based Approach?

-  Ultimate challenge - to reach everyone.
-  Possibility for large impact with one intervention.
-  Even small amount of behavior change has large impact on health care, hospitals, etc...

## Intervention Mechanism

-  Interventions in and of themselves do not change behaviors.
-  Successful interventions change the mediators, which in turn affect behavior.
- E.g.,
- Ad 			Increase		 **Exercise/**
- Campaign	Knowledge	 **PA**

## PA Assessment Requirements

-  Reliable
-  Valid
-  Detect Change

## PA Assessment Requirements for Population Interventions

-  Culturally Inclusive
-  Simple, easy to understand
-  Short, minimize response burden

## Traditional Approaches Quantifying PA

-  Physiological
-  Heart rate, VO2max, doubly labeled water
-  Objective
-  Others observing
-  mechanical devices (e.g., accelerometers)
-  *Pros* - accurate; directly related to health
-  *Cons* - time, financial, feasibility

## Considering Self-Report PA Assessment

-  Most commonly used method in population studies
-  *Pros *- less likely to alter PA behavior; cost-effective; adaptable to population and setting; shown to be valid and reliable
-  *Cons* - potential for response bias (overreporting)

## Considering PA Assessmentas a Psychological Construct

-  Measurement of a latent variable - minimum of 3 indicators
-  3 scales prefered; 3 items accepted (Tabachnik & Fidell, 1996)
-  Allows for breadth *and* depth of construct

## BCC examples

-  U of Rhode Island (Clark et al)
- YALE, stage, Up n’ Go
-  U of Tennessee (Garrison et al)
- YALE, stage, Kaiser
-  Emory U (Resnicow etal)
-  CHAMPS, YALE, 1-mile walk
- Cornell U (Charlson et al)
-  CHAMPS, VO2max, 3 day heart rate

## Alternate Conceptualizationof 3 Indicators

-  Using three outcome metrics
-  Kcals/week (energy expenditure)
-  METS
-  Minutes/week
-  Number of steps
-  Heart rate/blood pressure

## Issues - Research Questions

-  Importance of theory based testable hypotheses
-  Measure what you are trying to change
-  Correction for overreporting?
-  What is the goal of the study
-  Necessity of subsample validation?
-  Are your measures valid?
