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.

Dollars And Death, Cass R. Sunstein, Eric A. Posner

Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

Administrative regulations and tort law both impose controls on activities that cause mortality risks, but they do so in puzzlingly different ways.

Under much older law, tort law in most states excludes hedonic loss from the calculation of damages, and instead focuses on loss of income, which regulatory policy ignores.
