ISSN: 1540-6229Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: EconomicsNotes: This paper is distinguished from previous papers by its focus on income-producing properties, rather than owner-occupied single-family residential properties. The real estate investor's strategy, in terms of choosing an interest rate-discount points combination, is analyzed by using a discounted cash flow approach. Under this framework, the investor with a lower marginal tax rate, lower required rate of return and longer investment horizon tends to negotiate for a mortgage contract with a higher number of discount points and lower interest rate. In addition, an intermediate rate-points combination is preferred by an investor only when the lender's required interest rate is a decreasing convex function of the number of discount points.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1540-6229Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: EconomicsNotes: This paper analyzes the effect of information asymmetry between the lender and the borrower (i.e., the borrower knows how long he will reside in his home, whereas the lender does not) on the borrower's choice among the interest rate-discount points combinations available in the fixed-rate mortgage market. The analysis shows that if the rate-points trade-off of the mortgage menu is either too steep or too flat, then all types of borrowers will choose the same loan contract from the menu. In addition, if the rate-points trade-off is not convex to the origin, then only the contracts with extreme rate-points combinations will be chosen by borrowers; all contracts with intermediate rate-points combinations are redundant and will not be chosen by any borrowers. Intermediate rate-points combination mortgage contracts would be chosen by some borrowers only if the mortgage menu were to provide a self-selection function. Several necessary conditions of a self-selection mortgage menu are depicted.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Hence we proceeded to study the combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin in these patients. Patients and methods: The 21-day regimen was as follows: i.v. paclitaxel 175 mg/m2 over three hours preceded by standard premedications, followed by i.v. carboplatin dosed at AUC of six infused over one hour. Only chemotherapy-naïve patients with histological diagnoses of undifferentiated carcinoma of the nasopharynx, systemic metastases and radiologically measurable lesions were eligible. Results: Thirty-two patients were accrued to this study. Twenty patients (62%) had at least two sites of metastasis. The main grade 3–4 toxicity was neutropenia (31%). Nine patients (28%) developed neutropenic sepsis, which caused the demise of one of them. Twenty-four patients (75%) responded to treatment, with one (3%) attaining a complete response. The median time to progression of disease was seven months and the median survival was 12 months. At one year, 52% of the patients were alive. Conclusions: The combination of paclitaxel and carboplatin is an active regimen in NPC. Its convenience of administration and good tolerability make it an attractive alternative regimen to consider for patients with metastatic disease.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
