Determinants Of Share Price Movements In Emerging Equity Markets: Some Evidence From America's Past, Peter Z. Grossman Jan 2000

Determinants Of Share Price Movements In Emerging Equity Markets: Some Evidence From America's Past, Peter Z. Grossman

Scholarship and Professional Work - Business

Emerging equity markets are plagued by poor information, which is a barrier to outside shareholder participation. This paper examines the determinants of share prices of two United States companies over a 14-year period during the late 19th century, when America had an emerging equity market. These two companies withheld all information on profits and assets until the end of the period, yet traded regularly. Overall, the evidence suggests that outside investors received sufficient compensation for their ignorance, and that these outsiders set the market price. An event study shows that when information about company assets was revealed, market returns were …


The Unconstitutionality Of Eliminating Estate And Gift Taxes , James G. Wilson Jan 2000

The Unconstitutionality Of Eliminating Estate And Gift Taxes , James G. Wilson

Cleveland State Law Review

This article discusses why the recent proposal to eliminate estate and gift taxes is not only immoral and a poor allocation of resources, but also is unconstitutional. The author argues that the only way to sustain any allegation of unconstitutionality against these tax policy changes is to extend meanings of "constitutionality" beyond the legalistic paradigm of constitutional adjudication. Explaining that to extend notions of constitutionality this additional distance, we would need to resurrect earlier constitutional conceptions from such influential political thinkers as Aristotle, David Hume, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson. While pointing out that the United States Constitution embodies a …

Interethnic Antagonism In The Wake Of Colonialism: U. S. Territorial And Ethnic Relations At The Margins, Michael P. Perez Jan 2000

Interethnic Antagonism In The Wake Of Colonialism: U. S. Territorial And Ethnic Relations At The Margins, Michael P. Perez

Ethnic Studies Review

Since the proliferation of scholarship on racial and ethnic antagonism following the Civil Rights era, neo-Marxist, colonialism, and other power-conflict theories reached popularity and have been widely applied to explain racial and ethnic conflict throughout the world, particularly in the United States. However there is a lack of scholarship on racial and ethnic relations in the U.S. territories in general and the Pacific Islands in particular. Although a few works exist in terms of interethnic antagonism and anti-immigrant sentiment in Puerto Rico, Melanesia, and Hawaii, there is a lack of research on interethnic antagonism in Micronesia; therefore comparative analyses of …

Rich And Rare Are The Gems They War: Holding De Beers Accountable For Trading Conflict Diamonds, Lucinda Saunders Jan 2000

Rich And Rare Are The Gems They War: Holding De Beers Accountable For Trading Conflict Diamonds, Lucinda Saunders

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note focuses on the accountability of corporations for indirectly fueling civil wars by purchasing diamonds from insurgent groups. While many corporations are involved in the diamond industry, De Beers controls a majority of the uncut diamond market, including mining, buying, and selling uncut diamonds. Therefore, this Note will analyze whether De Beers may be held liable for knowingly funding war criminals under the Alien Tort Claims Act ("ATCA"). Part I of this Note examines the trade in conflict diamonds in Angola and Sierra Leone and De Beers's involvement in this trade. Part II examines case law developments under the …

Globalization And The U.S. Market In Legal Services: Shifting Identities, Carole Silver Jan 2000

Globalization And The U.S. Market In Legal Services: Shifting Identities, Carole Silver

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The article examines the international activities of various segments of the U.S. legal profession and analyzes the impact of these activities on the domestic market in legal services. It takes an empirical approach to the question of how international activities have shaped the profession by chronicling the foreign office activity of more than 70 of the largest U.S. firms. The data presented facilitates new insight into the ways in which U.S. lawyers participate in the international market in legal services. The article reveals that internationalization has resulted in the homogenization of the largest U.S. firms, as they increasingly compete for …

Tokapu Messages, Catherine Julien Jan 2000

Tokapu Messages, Catherine Julien

Textile Society of America: Symposium Proceedings

Tokapu are geometric designs that were woven into Inca tapestry garments. They were also used in the design of lacquered wooden cups, although perhaps not before the time of the Spanish arrival in the Andes in the mid-sixteenth century. During the time of Spanish colonial rule a richly narrative style of representation developed that depicted people and objects in a variety of scenes. Tokapu appear as abstract geometric motifs on cups that have narrative scenes in other registers. They also continue to be used on men's and women's garments, as they had in the prehispanic period.1 Students of Andean …

Identification Of Barriers To The Use Of Department Of Defense Medical Assets In Support Of Federal, State And Local Authorities To Mitigate The Consequences Of Domestic Bioterrorism, Donna F. Barbisch Jan 2000

Identification Of Barriers To The Use Of Department Of Defense Medical Assets In Support Of Federal, State And Local Authorities To Mitigate The Consequences Of Domestic Bioterrorism, Donna F. Barbisch

MUSC Theses and Dissertations

The threat of the use of a biological agent as a weapon presents the American public with a potential for catastrophic consequences with massive loss of life and economic disaster. Reducing the effect of a biological warfare attack requires resources beyond those found within local or state governments. The integration of appropriate federal assets in a timely fashion will significantly reduce casualties and economic loss. Military medical assets support the federal response. Managing the consequences of a domestic biological warfare attack is a new role for the military, requiring different support packages than those configured to support the war fight. …

The Developing Legal Infrastructure And The Globalization Of Information: Constructing A Framework For Critical Choices In The New Millennium Internet -- Character, Content And Confusion, Tomas A. Lipinski Jan 2000

The Developing Legal Infrastructure And The Globalization Of Information: Constructing A Framework For Critical Choices In The New Millennium Internet -- Character, Content And Confusion, Tomas A. Lipinski

Richmond Journal of Law & Technology

This paper reviews recent attempts to extend traditional property rights and other information controls and regulations into new media, such as cyberspace, primarily the World Wide Web. It reviews developments in copyright, trademark, trademark dilution, misappropriation, trespass, censorship, tort, privacy and other legal doctrines as they are reflected in recent United States case law and legislation, and to a lesser extent, in international agreements. Legal problems often arise because there is a conflict of viewpoints in how to best characterize space on the Internet, specifically the World Wide Web. Some argue that traditional ownership rights should apply, or perhaps a …

Clutter Modeling In Infrared Images Using Genetic Programming, Liviu I. Voicu, Mosleh Uddin, Harley R. Myler, Anthony Gallagher, Julien Schuler Jan 2000

Clutter Modeling In Infrared Images Using Genetic Programming, Liviu I. Voicu, Mosleh Uddin, Harley R. Myler, Anthony Gallagher, Julien Schuler

Faculty Bibliography 2000s

Background clutter characterization in infrared imagery has become an actively researched field, and several clutter models have been reported. These models attempt to evaluate the target detection and recognition probabilities that are characteristic of a certain scene when specific target and human visual perception features are known. The prior knowledge assumed and required by these models is a severe limitation. Furthermore, the attempt to model subjective and intricate mechanisms such as human perception with general mathematical formulas is controversial, in this paper, we introduce the idea of adaptive models that are dynamically derived from a set of examples by a …
