AMERICAN RECOVERY AND REINVESTMENT ACT OF 2009 - SMART GRID INVESTMENT GRANT PROGRAM

Fourth, this study applies new methodologies which have never been applied to emerging markets. For instance, Chapter 5 explores the determinants of risk-adjusted mutual fund performance using multidimensional regression in addition to the common approach, which is to use a zero-cost trading strategy. This alternative methodology can explore several factors simultaneously while controlling the effect between one and another. Using the two methods allows us to examine determinants of fund performance statistically and economically and it provides more meaningful results. Moreover, in Chapter 6, we apply a model in the hedge fund literature in measuring the illiquid assets. | ENERGY Electricity Delivery Energy Reliability American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Smart Grid Investment Grant Program Progress Report July 2012 SMARTGRID.GOV RECOVERY ACT SMART GRID PROGRAMS U.S. Department of Energy July 2012 Table of Contents Executive Summary.ii 1.
