Dispersion Of Beliefs, Stock Prices And The Earnings Surprise Measures-A Generalized Approach, Leon Zolotoy
Dispersion Of Beliefs, Stock Prices And The Earnings Surprise Measures-A Generalized Approach, Leon Zolotoy
Leon Zolotoy
In this paper we address the issue of modelling the relation between the stock prices and accounting earnings in the presence of potential divergence of opinions regarding the earnings data generating process. In our model the market's earnings expectation is defined as the weighted average of both the time-series and analysts' forecasts, with weights being estimated directly from stock returns. No assumptions are made on functional form of the earnings surprise-stock returns relation, which makes our model flexible enough to incorporate a variety of models discussed in the previous literature. The model is estimated semiparametrically following Hardle et al. [Annals …
Hiding "Bad" News On Fridays? Not Such A Good Idea!, Leon Zolotoy
Hiding "Bad" News On Fridays? Not Such A Good Idea!, Leon Zolotoy
Leon Zolotoy
Previous studies reported firms management to release more"bad" news on Fridays compared to the rest of weekdays, potentially exploiting investors limited attention. In this study we examine whether this strategy was detected by investors. Our key findings are as follows. First, consistent with previous studies, we find that over the last two decades firms consistently reported more "bad" news on Friday than during the rest of trading days. Second, we report a structural shift in the earnings-return relation with stock returns becoming more sensitive to the Friday negative earnings news compared to similar announcements released during the rest of the …
Earnings News And Market Risk: Is The Magnitude Of The Post-Earnings Announcement Drift Underestimated?, Leon Zolotoy
Earnings News And Market Risk: Is The Magnitude Of The Post-Earnings Announcement Drift Underestimated?, Leon Zolotoy
Leon Zolotoy
The post-earnings announcement drift is the tendency of cumulative abnormal re- turns to drift in the direction of earnings surprise for several weeks after the earnings news is released. We show that a standard approach of measuring abnormal returns by using pre-announcement estimates of market risk (betas) causes the magnitude of this phenomenon to be significantly underestimated. Our key findings are as follows. First, we find that stock beta tends to rise (fall) following the release of "bad" ("good") earnings news. Second, we find that by not taking into account post-announcement shifts in betas prior studies are likely to underestimate …
2001 Nüfus Sayımı Verilerine Göre İngiltere’De Etnik Pazar Potansiyeli, Ibrahim Sirkeci
2001 Nüfus Sayımı Verilerine Göre İngiltere’De Etnik Pazar Potansiyeli, Ibrahim Sirkeci
Ibrahim Sirkeci
Bu çalışma İngiltere ve Galler nüfusunun etnik gruplara göre dağılımını sunmakta ve etnik pazar potansiyeli gösterilmektedir. İngiltere ve Galler nüfusunun etnik yapısını görmek için Birleşik Krallık (BK) 1991 ve 2001 Nüfus Sayımları ile 2004 Yılı Nüfus Araştırması verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu verilere göre, 1999’dan bu yana ülkedeki tüketim pazarının büyümesinin önemli bir kısmınının İngiltere ve Galler’deki etnik azınlıkların artan tüketiminden kaynaklandığını söylemek mümkündür. Bu bize etnik azınlık pazarının sunabileceği zengin pazarlama ve genişleme olanaklarının varlığını göstermektedir. BK etnik pazarı hızla büyüyen bir pazar olduğu görülmektedir ve genel eğilimler büyüme yönündedir. BK etnik pazarının daha kapsamlı ve derinlemesine anlaşılabilmesi için gerek tüketici …
"Athleticated" Versus Educated: A Qualitative Investigation Of Campus Perceptions, Recruiting And African American Male Student-Athletes, Keith Harrison
"Athleticated" Versus Educated: A Qualitative Investigation Of Campus Perceptions, Recruiting And African American Male Student-Athletes, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
The purpose of this study was to conduct a qualitative investigation of student narratives (N= 167) about the contemporary issue of recruiting high-profile African American male student-athletes. Participants were asked to view a scene on recruiting from the film, The Program (1994). Participants were then presented with questions regarding a recruiting trip by an African American football player to a traditionally white campus. Findings indicate that both Black and White students perceived the African American male student-athletes in the film scene to be more "athleticated" than educated. They were also perceived as stereotypical sex-objects. "When athletes (especially male) show up …

Sugar ‘N’ Spice And All Things Nice: Gender And Strategy Choices In Negotiation, Mara Olekalns, Carol Kulik
Mara Olekalns
In this chapter we examine how social stereotypes affect the perception of women who strive to improve their economic outcomes through negotiation. We discuss how gender affects negotiation process and outcomes by: (a) describing how men and women differ in their approach to negotiation (b) highlighting the social consequences for women who adopt a more competitive negotiation style; and (c) articulating the process by which counter-normative behaviour influences negotiation outcomes. Throughout this chapter, we describe the strategies that enable women to preserve ongoing organisational relationships and simultaneously improve their economic outcomes.
A Response To Bruni And Sugden, Julie A. Nelson
A Response To Bruni And Sugden, Julie A. Nelson
Julie A. Nelson
An article by Luigino Bruni and Robert Sugden published in this journal argues that market relations contain elements of what they call ‘fraternity’. This Response demonstrates that my own views on interpersonal relations and markets – which originated in the feminist analysis of caring labour – are far closer to Bruni and Sugden's than they acknowledge in their article, and goes on to discuss additional important dimensions of sociality that they neglect.

"Islamic Banking And Finance: Moral Beliefs And Business Practices At Work", Karen Hunt Ahmed
"Islamic Banking And Finance: Moral Beliefs And Business Practices At Work", Karen Hunt Ahmed
Karen Hunt Ahmed
The religion of Islam has existed for 1400 years but Islamic economic theory and its financial institutions emerged as an industry only in the 1970s. Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) are designed to help Muslims conduct business internationally while simultaneously upholding traditional Islamic values related to trade finance and currency movement. The basis for their existence is the Islamic moral prohibition on charging interest—interest is a central component of capitalist banking—yet IFIs conduct billions of dollars of business annually in the world economy and the de facto Islamic banking transaction is—in most cases—virtually identical to a capitalist banking transaction. Business practices …
A Day In The Life Of A Male College Athlete: A Public Perception And Qualitative Campus Investigation, Keith Harrison
A Day In The Life Of A Male College Athlete: A Public Perception And Qualitative Campus Investigation, Keith Harrison
Dr. C. Keith Harrison
Perceptual confirmation paradigm (PCP) rooted in social psychology, can be implemented to frame sport science research questions (Stone, Perry, & Darley, 1997). Public perception of college athletes’ lives has been scarcely investigated in the sport sciences (Keels, 2005) using the PCP to prime stereotypes. The purpose of this study was to prime stereotypes about a day in the life of a college athlete by using qualitative inquiry to assess college students’ (N = 87) perceptions. Participants provided written responses about a day in the life of a college athlete. Two different college athlete targets were used “Tyrone Walker” (n = …
Inclusion: A Business Approach That Could Impact Communities, Effenus Henderson
Inclusion: A Business Approach That Could Impact Communities, Effenus Henderson
Effenus Henderson
One of the most remarkable aspects of global economic integration is the rapidly growing interaction among people and communities around the world. In some ways, this interconnectedness has brought us closer together and diminished our differences. But it has also heightened awareness of our differences, and in some cases created opportunities for political conflict in which cultural differences are used to divide and polarize populations. As a key player in global economic integration, business has an important stake in facilitating cooperative relations among peoples. Growing tensions and polarization along cultural, religious and ethnic lines undermine stable, sustainable business environments, and …

A Means To An End – A Web-Based Client Management System In Palliative Care, Margaret O'Connor, Trudi Erwin, Linda Dawson
Associate Professor Linda Dawson
Home-based palliative care (hospice) services require comprehensive and fully integrated information systems to develop and manage the various aspects of their business, incorporating client data and management information. These systems assist in maintaining the quality of client care as well as improved management effi ciencies. This article reports on a large not-for-profi t home-based palliative care service in Australia, which embarked on a project to develop an electronic data management system specifi cally designed to meet the needs of the palliative care sector. This web-based client information management system represents a joint venture between the organization and a commercial company …

Defining And Measuring Entrepreneurship For Regional Research: A New Approach, Sarah A. Low
Defining And Measuring Entrepreneurship For Regional Research: A New Approach, Sarah A. Low
Sarah A. Low
A strong correlation might exist between entrepreneurship and long-term regional
employment growth (Acs and Armington, 2003). Entrepreneurship may be a more
sustainable economic development strategy than alternatives, like industrial recruitment,
because entrepreneurs tend to locate in their home region. Research and policies on
fostering entrepreneurship are hindered, however, by the lack of a clear definition and
measure of entrepreneurship (Bruyat and Pierre-Andre, 2000). Multiple definitions of
entrepreneurship, often flawed, lead to contradictory findings that fuel policymaker
confusion (Tamasy, 2006). Most importantly, the commonly used measures of
entrepreneurship ignore innovation—a long established defining attribute of
entrepreneurship for economic development. This is …

Evaluating The Extent And Nature Of 'Envelope Wages' In The European Union: A Geographical Analysis, Colin C. Williams
Evaluating The Extent And Nature Of 'Envelope Wages' In The European Union: A Geographical Analysis, Colin C. Williams
Colin C Williams
To evaluate the spatialities of the illegal wage practice where employers pay their declared employees both an official declared wage and an undeclared ‘envelope’ wage so as to avoid tax liabilities, a 2007 survey conducted in 27 European Union (EU) member states is reported. The finding is that 5% of employees received envelope wages which amount on average to some two-fifths of their wage packet. Revealing how, although heavily concentrated in a small group of East-Central European nations, this wage practice is nonetheless ubiquitous, the paper concludes by discussing how this practice might be tackled.
