To Grow or not to Grow under Macroeconomic Uncertainty – the case of the European oil industry
(2009)Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- Purpose To investigate the predicted relation between macroeconomic risk exposure and growth in the context of the European oil industry. Methodology Multiple regression analysis Theoretical Macroeconomic uncertainty, Financial constraints, The hierachy of Perspectives Finance, Fundamentals of hedging Empirical 225 observations have been included to determine a beta coefficient Foundation of -2.83 corresponding to the influence that macroeconomic risk exposure has on firm growth, defined as the alteration in total assets. In combination with the control variable “size”, macroeconomic risk exposure explain approximately 40 percent of the growth rate among oil producing firms in Europe. Conclusions Strong empirical support to the hypothesis... (More)

In combination with the control variable “size”, macroeconomic risk exposure explain approximately 40 percent of the growth rate among oil producing firms in Europe. Conclusions Strong empirical support to the hypothesis regarding the relationship between macroeconomic risk exposure and firm growth is found, where macroeconomic risk exposure has a negative impact on growth within the European oil industry.
