Keeping Up Appearances: The Quest For Governance Legitimacy, Graham Bowrey Aug 2009

Keeping Up Appearances: The Quest For Governance Legitimacy, Graham Bowrey

Graham Bowrey

An effective corporate governance structure is as crucial to a public sector organisation as it is to a private sector organisation. This paper reviews the profile of directors on governance boards of government controlled organisations and finds that, while the governance structures are similar with those in the private sector, the real power to set the strategic, financial and operational directions of these organisations is not in the hands of the directors, as it is in the private sector, but in the hands of the responsible ministers. This de-coupling, it is argued, is due to the perception that private sector …

How To Prevent Npas In Banks, Vijaya Krushna Varma Mr Feb 2009

How To Prevent Npas In Banks, Vijaya Krushna Varma Mr

VIJAYA KRUSHNA VARMA Mr

Varma suggests radical bank reforms to prevent NPAs in banking sector. Prevention is better than cure. The problem should be tackled at the source itself before it gets monster size. Instead of finding solutions and measures to reduce NPAs, the banking sector should be restructured so that there is no scope for NPAs or bad loans generation in banks.

Success Strategies For Thesis Students: Creating A Video Toolbox, Claudia J. Dold Jan 2009

Success Strategies For Thesis Students: Creating A Video Toolbox, Claudia J. Dold

Claudia J. Dold

With an increase in our pool of users and a cap on hiring, the librarians in our shop needed a way to clone themselves in order to deliver the same good service on which we pride ourselves and on which our constituency has come to rely. Our proposed solution was to create video segments on how to use the library effectively. Funded by a grant, a project was undertaken to produce a series of fifteen videos designed to guide students through the research and writing skills that their program chairs deem essential for top-quality work. This paper presents the thought …


Dispersion Of Beliefs, Stock Prices And The Earnings Surprise Measures-A Generalized Approach, Leon Zolotoy Dec 2008

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 Dec 2008

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 Dec 2008

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 …
