    Monitoring, Contractual Incentive Pay, and the Structure of CEO Equity-Based Compensation 

    Yu, Fan (2013-07-25)
    I find that a CEO who is better monitored tends to have smaller total contractual incentive pay, measured by the delta of the CEO's total portfolio. The realized wealth-to-performance sensitivity (WPS) of such a CEO, however, is not significantly different from that of a CEO who is worse monitored. The findings suggest that ...

    Bernard, Darren
    Competitors engage in product market predation when they lower prices or increase expenditures on non-price competition with the goal of forcing a rival to exit. This study provides evidence consistent with the hypothesis that financially constrained firms avoid financial statement disclosure to mitigate the risk of product ...

    An Investment-based Explanation for the Post-merger Underperformance Puzzle 

    CHANG, CHING-CHIEH (2012-09-13)

Motivated by recent developments in asset pricing, which show that firms' expected returns and investment rates are negatively related, ...

    Ownership Structure and Firm Value: Evidence from Mergers of Institutional Investors and Genetics, Homeownership and Home Location Choice 

    Muenkel, Florian
    In the first chapter I investigate the effect of the dispersion of institutional shareholders on firm value.

    Feedback and Firm Value 

    Thavasi, Nigel (2012-09-13)
    This essay analyzes the potential real economic effects of a feedback mechanism on firms' real investment and financing policies. Using a matched sample method with option-listed firms between 1973 and 2009, I document some evidence consistent with the presence of the feedback effect described in Goldstein and Geumbel (2008).
