Agency Costs, Charter Amendments And The Market For Corporate Control, Atreya Chakraborty

Atreya Chakraborty

The merger wave of the 1 980s, coupled with the sophistication of investment Banks' financial engineers, brought about a bewildering array of takeover defenses: "poison pills", " classified boards", "fair price amendments", and the like. Surveys have documented steep growth in various defensive amendments adopted by firms in recent years. The Investors? Responsibility Research Centre (IRRC), in surveying 424 of the Fortune 500 firms in 1986, found that 143 had adopted poison pills, 158 had fair price amendments and 223 had board of directors divided into classes. Jarrell and Poulsen's (1987) research notes the same trend in a previous survey …

Intensity Of Takeover Defenses: The Empirical Evidence, Atreya Chakraborty

Atreya Chakraborty

This paper focuses on the construction of an index of the intensity of firms' antitakeover defenses. While many aspects of corporate behavior are qualitative in nature, an evaluation of a firm's stance and the underlying motives for its behavior often depend on the elements of a set of qualitative factors. The interactions between these factors are likely to have important implications. In this context, only a composite measure will capture these interactions and their implications for firms' actions. We focus on the creation of an ordinal measure of anti-takeover defenses and utilize the ordered probit estimation technique to relate the …

A Bayesian Approach To Additive Nonparametric Regression, Michael S. Smith, Robert Kohn

Michael Stanley Smith

This proceedings paper was the first to suggest using a Gaussian g-prior combined with a point mass to undertake Bayesian variable selection in a Gaussian linear regression model. It also was the first to suggest integrating out the regression parameters and variance in closed form, resulting in an efficient Gibbs sampling scheme. The idea was applied to estimate regression functions in an additive model by using a linear basis expansion for each component function in an additive model. The conference proceeding was eventually published in a slightly tighter form in Journal of Econometrics (1996).

Aggregate Convergence And Sectoral Specialization In Innovation, Mario Pianta, Daniele Archibugi

Mario Pianta

Over the last 20 years OECD countries have converged in terms of their innovation, in parallel to the process of economic convergence and catching-up in technology. However, this has not led to a similarity in the sectoral strenghts of the majority of countries. Applying a measure of "technological distance" between pairs of countries based on patents, it is shown that nations have increased their technological specialization (i.e their sectoral differences) over the 1980s. An apparent paradox is pointed out, as countries converge by becoming more different and grow by becoming more specialized.

Self-Rated Performance And Pay Satisfaction, Merit Increase Satisfaction, And Instrumentality Beliefs In A Merit Pay Environment, M J. Vest, Dow Scott, S E. Markham

Dow Scott

The relationship of self-rated performance to pay level satisfaction, merit increase satisfaction, and instrumentality beliefs in a merit pay environment is investigated. Self-rated performance exhibited a significant negative relationship with all three variables beyond that accounted for by control variables. Implications and suggestions for future research are discussed.
