The Credibility Imperative: The Political Dynamics Of Retaliation In The World Trade Organization's Dispute Resolution Mechanism, Jide Nzelibe Jan 2004

The Credibility Imperative: The Political Dynamics Of Retaliation In The World Trade Organization's Dispute Resolution Mechanism, Jide Nzelibe

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Under the WTO’s dispute settlement procedures, a party that has been injured by a scofflaw state’s failure to comply with its trade obligations may retaliate against the scofflaw state by withdrawing equivalent trade concessions. Legal and economic commentators generally view retaliation as an economically perverse strategy for enforcing free trade norms. This Article explores an alternative explanation, arguing that retaliation may provide the optimal enforcement mechanism for trade liberalization given the prevalence of low compliance incentives and high enforcement costs in international cooperation agreements. This Article argues that retaliation is superior to other remedial options because it enables an injured …

Initial Public Offerings: An Analysis Of Theory And Practice, James C. Brau, Stanley E. Fawcett Jan 2004

Initial Public Offerings: An Analysis Of Theory And Practice, James C. Brau, Stanley E. Fawcett

Faculty Publications

We survey 336 CFOs to compare practice to theory in the areas of IPO motivation, timing, underwriter selection, underpricing, signaling, and the decision to remain private. We find the primary motivation for going public is for acquisition purposes. CFOs base IPO timing on overall market conditions, are well-informed regarding expected underpricing, and feel underpricing compensates investors for taking risk. The most important positive signal is past historical earnings, followed by underwriter certification. CFOs have divergent opinions about the IPO process depending on firm-specific characteristics. Finally, we find the main reason for remaining private is to preserve decision-making control and ownership.

The Role Of Ribosomal Protein L11 And The L11-Binding Rrna In Protein Synthesis On The Prokaryotic Ribosome, William Sean Bowen Jan 2004

The Role Of Ribosomal Protein L11 And The L11-Binding Rrna In Protein Synthesis On The Prokaryotic Ribosome, William Sean Bowen

Graduate Student Theses, Dissertations, & Professional Papers

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ribosomal protein L ll and the LI 1-binding rRNA in translation on the prokaryotic ribosome. The L ll and LI 1-binding rRNA forms a complex on the inter-subunit face of the large ribosomal subunit, and is part of a group of ribosomal protein and rRNA elements that are separated in the secondary structure of the large subunit, but that are all linked to the functions of soluble translation factors during their interactions with ribosomes. Together the elements are referred to as the GTPase-associated region (GAR) due to their link …
