Marriott Student Review Volume I Issue 2: Women And Millennials In Business, Marianna Richardson
Marriott Student Review Volume I Issue 2: Women And Millennials In Business, Marianna Richardson
Marriott Student Review
Our second edition of MSR is dedicated to two populations – millennials and women. Currently, millennials comprise approximately 35%[1] of the United States’ workforce. Women hold 51.7% of the jobs in the U.S. job market.[2] This MSR issue focuses on the status of these groups in the business world. The reason for this emphasis is that most MSR writers and readers are millennials (which is defined as people between the ages of 18-24) and all of us work with or for women (as well as some of us are women).
The Term Structure Of The Equity Risk Premium, Bryan Seegmiller, Brian Boyer
The Term Structure Of The Equity Risk Premium, Bryan Seegmiller, Brian Boyer
Journal of Undergraduate Research
A recent paper by Binsbergen, Brandt, and Koijen (2012)i examined the equity risk-premium on short- versus long-term dividend claims, providing evidence that the large size of the overall equity risk premium was due mostly to the even higher risk-premium earned on short-term dividends. The implication is that the equity risk premium slopes downward across the term structure. These findings are of note because they constitute an anomaly in the literature, as nearly all asset pricing models—such as Campbell and Cochrane (1999)ii—predict an upward-sloping or flat term structure. Some, such as Belo, Collin-Dufresne, and Goldstein (2015)iii, …

The Power Of Inclusion: What Gay And Lesbian Employees Want Marriott School Students To Know, Lisa Love Snyder, Hannah Salzl
The Power Of Inclusion: What Gay And Lesbian Employees Want Marriott School Students To Know, Lisa Love Snyder, Hannah Salzl
Marriott Student Review
Extensive research has shown that diverse workplaces are more effective than homogenous workplaces; however, gay and lesbian employees still often face discrimination or exclusion in the workplace. In order to initiate discussion about inclusion and diversity in the workplace, the authors interviewed five gay employees (four women and one man). This article contains a brief introduction and conclusion, as well as excerpts from the interviews. The interviewees confirmed that they had experienced discrimination in the workplace themselves or had seen it happen with others. They offered advice to future employees and managers, including the importance of creating an environment of …

Look Before You Leap: 4 Questions Every Woman Should Ask While Job Searching, Hannah Y. Olvera
Marriott Student Review
Despite women’s preparation and effort during the job searching process, women are disproportionately dissatisfied with their employers. According to a Crain’s Report conducted in 2016, 42 percent of women left because they “didn’t feel recognized and didn’t see opportunities for advancement,” 43.6 percent believe their compensation is less compared to their male peers, and only 50.4 percent believe their companies have a fair family leave policy. To overcome these challenges, women must ask various questions to lead them to their ideal career from an equal opportunity employer. As women become more assertive in their job searching, they will create a …

Shaping Immigration Law Through A Business Law Model, Mitchell Reber
Shaping Immigration Law Through A Business Law Model, Mitchell Reber
Brigham Young University Prelaw Review
This article argues that state-produced immigration law can be a more effective method of regulating immigration when compared with current federal regulation. Currently, regulation as controlled by the federal government supersedes any laws created at the state level and subjects those laws produced by states to extensive review by the courts. The article proposes that immigration law should follow a business-law model when regulating immigration on a state level and discusses how the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 needs to be reinterpreted. The article then describes three ways this change in immigration law could be implemented and confers …
The Impact Of Government Loan Expansion On Post-Graduation Outcomes: A Longitudinal Study, Mark Johnson, Taylor Nadauld
The Impact Of Government Loan Expansion On Post-Graduation Outcomes: A Longitudinal Study, Mark Johnson, Taylor Nadauld
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The availability of higher education is linked to more affluent and prosperous societies. In the United States, policy makers have attempted to make post-secondary education readily available through grants and loans. In the past two decades student loans have exploded to become the second largest segment of consumer debt nationally. The effect that higher loan balances has on students has not been examined extensively. We perform a statistical analysis to demonstrate that when the government increases the supply for federal loans, students take on more credit to pay off more expensive forms of credit. All other effects of loans on …
All Eyes On You: The Impact Of Stakeholder Attention On Earnings Quality, Scott Tolton, Michael Drake
All Eyes On You: The Impact Of Stakeholder Attention On Earnings Quality, Scott Tolton, Michael Drake
Journal of Undergraduate Research
We behave differently when we are being watched. A large body of research finds that when observed, individuals are more likely to act in accordance with the perceived expectations or desires of the observer as a means to achieve a specific goal (e.g., positive appraisal, promotion, penalty avoidance, etc.).1 In the corporate space, prior studies provide considerable evidence on how attention or monitoring from various parties such as auditors, analysts, business press reporters, institutional investors, and debt holders affects the financial reporting choices of managers. The current literature finds almost unilateral evidence that increased attention from these outsiders is …
Let’S Find Out! Motivating Motivational Interview Evidence-Based Practice In Tr, Lora Hughes, Neil Lundberg
Let’S Find Out! Motivating Motivational Interview Evidence-Based Practice In Tr, Lora Hughes, Neil Lundberg
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Diseases related to aging, developmental disorders, mental illnesses, acquired physical disabilities, and traumatic events cause untold human suffering each year. Many professionals seek to alleviate such suffering, including the discipline of therapeutic recreation (TR), which uses a holistic process of targeted interventions, leisure education, recreation participation, and experiential learning to encourage positive change in clients. When working with clients, recreation therapists (RTs) need evidence and direction for using the best practices in therapeutic communication1. One such type of therapeutic communication, Motivational Interviewing (MI), has become popular since the 1970s, especially within mental health and substance abuse fields2 …
Fitness Tracker Technology Motivating Healthy Living, Andrew Petersen, William Tayler
Fitness Tracker Technology Motivating Healthy Living, Andrew Petersen, William Tayler
Journal of Undergraduate Research
The purpose of this project was to test whether wearing a fitness tracker, such as a Fitbit, induces wearers to increase their physical activity. We believe that when wearers know that their physical activity is being measured, they will accelerate their physical activity. To test this hypothesis, we needed a control group where we could record participants’ physical activity when the participants were unaware they were being measured. This was accomplished by using the iPhone pedometer which is automatically activated upon purchase, and relatively unknown by iPhone users. The treatment groups were given a MiFit band, which is a less …

Status Spillovers, Brian P. Reschke, Pierre Azoulay, Toby E. Stuart
Faculty Publications
When an actor experiences a sudden gain in status—for example, when a scientist wins a Nobel Prize, or a film director wins an Oscar—what does this increase do to the fates of that actor’s many ‘neighbors’? Do they bask in the reflected glory of the prize recipient, and therefore gain with her? Or, does competition for attention ensue, attenuating the recognition neighbors otherwise would have received? We investigate these questions in science. Using expert-assigned article keywords, we identify papers that are topically related to publications of future appointees to the prestigious Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). In difference-in-difference specifications we …
Ego Depletion And Internal Controls: How Controls Can Deplete Self-Control Resources, Drew Allen, David Wood
Ego Depletion And Internal Controls: How Controls Can Deplete Self-Control Resources, Drew Allen, David Wood
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In order to ensure accurate financial reporting, deter fraud, and safeguard assets, companies implement internal controls throughout their organization. Internal controls can be something as simple as requiring a manager to sign off on all expenses or having two people present to handle and count cash receipts. Without these controls, companies would have to rely solely on the competency and morality of their employees or use costly and restrictive supervision and monitoring to prevent intentional and unintentional errors. While internal controls serve an important role in reducing many types of risk, controls may also have unintended consequences that can negatively …
Judging Juror Judgments: Reactions To The Discovery Of Reduced Audit Quality Acts, Hannah Whipple, Bryan Stewart
Judging Juror Judgments: Reactions To The Discovery Of Reduced Audit Quality Acts, Hannah Whipple, Bryan Stewart
Journal of Undergraduate Research
As watchdogs of public companies’ financial reporting, auditors have the responsibility to attest whether a firm’s financial statements fairly represent its finances. As such, auditors are subject to professional standards to ensure high-quality audits. At times, however, auditors fail to meet these standards with their actions. Such actions, “which reduce evidence-gathering effectiveness inappropriately” (Malone and Roberts 1996), are referred to in the academic research literature as reduced audit quality acts (RAQAs). RAQAs increase the risk of inappropriate or misleading audit opinions, which can harm investors, lenders, and other parties, and which often lead to litigation. We seek to determine how …
Strategic Silence: Withholding Certification Status As A Hypocrisy Avoidance Tactic, W. Chad Carlos, Ben William Lewis
Strategic Silence: Withholding Certification Status As A Hypocrisy Avoidance Tactic, W. Chad Carlos, Ben William Lewis
Faculty Publications
We examine why organizations that obtain prominent certifications may at times elect not to publicize them. Drawing on the impression management literature, we argue and show that concerns about being perceived as hypocritical may cause organizations to strategically withhold their certification status. Using a longitudinal panel of corporations that were members of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, a prominent environmental certification, we show that in the face of reputational threats, organizations are less likely to publicize their certification status when the threat appears to directly contradict the claims implied by the certification. Our findings suggest that the threat of hypocrisy …
