“…As described by María Paredes Fernández and Christian Lenz Alcayaga [9] who emphasise that successful companies take advantage of temporary cash surpluses to make decisions about obtaining financial assets that allow them to take advantage of excess liquidity. In this sense, María Paredes Fernández and Christian Lenz Alcayaga [10] studied in depth the main financial assets for the use of 50% of the surpluses obtained in the previous accounting period. "40% of these companies stated that they create another reserve fund, 30% of the organisations consulted stated that they use their surpluses to distribute them among their members, 20% use them for reinvestment in new cooperative projects, and 10% use CDTs" (p.13).…”

Investment decisions in corporate finance are decisive for improving the cyclical fluctuation of any form of business, minimising opportunity costs and maximising returns on idle funds. Empirical evidence has shown that the agricultural sector has only two financial periods in the year: surplus and deficit. If good decisions are not made in some of these periods, serious financial problems could arise. Therefore, this study presents an analysis of the cash management of microenterprises in the livestock sector in the Colombian Caribbean region, based on the cash flow management models proposed by Miller and Orr, who consider the volatility of cash balances and the trends of projects at the upper and lower limits of optimal cash balances. This indicates to financial management when to purchase a type of financial instrument. In stable economic conditions, the cases of acquiring financial assets, the optimal investment portfolio is determined in relation to the profitability and risk of the 3 stocks with the largest share in the COLCAP index: ECOPETROL, PFBCOLOM and GRUPOSURA, based on the Markowitz model.

Introduction Healthcare systems are developed in imperfect scenarios, in which there are constant failures (uncertainty, information asymmetry, agency relationship problem, and supply-induced demand). These failures, based on the imperfection of the sector, determine the relationships and incentives between the actors. It is within this context that payment mechanisms regulate aspects of the system behavior and incentives, acting as instruments for the purchasing of health care from providers, mediated by health insurance on behalf of users. Objective To characterize the basic elements of most frequent payment mechanisms to help providers in their relationship with payers. Methods A review of the evidence was conducted in PubMed, Google, Google Scholar, and strategic snowball selection. Payment mechanisms consist of three classical microeconomics variables, fixed or variable: price, quantity, and expense. Time dimensions are used to analyze their attributes and effects. Different mechanisms emerge from the combination of these variables. Results Among the most used are: Fee-For-Service, Global Budget, Bundled Payments, Diagnosis-Related Groups, Per-capita, Performance Pay, and Risk-Sharing Agreements. A fourth has also gained importance: Financial Risk. Conclusions Payment mechanisms are essential to link health efforts with clinical practice. They make it possible to regulate relationships between insurers, providers, and users, which, depending on the architecture of the mechanism, can become beneficial or hinder the fulfillment of the objectives of the health system.
