In this paper we test for the motives for adopting golden parachutes and Anti Takeover Amendments (ATAs). Firms that exhibited financial characteristics that were associated with a greater probability of hostile raids were also more likely to adopt golden parachutes or ATAs. We also find evidence to support the hypothesis that the adoption of golden parachutes and poison pills may in fact be complement each other.

The evidence suggests strong long-run overperformance after the issuance. This result is in contrast to the evidence of underperformance after the straight debt …

The Enlightenment And The Financial Crisis Of 2008: An Intellectual History Of Corporate Finance Theory, James R. Hackney Jr.
The Enlightenment And The Financial Crisis Of 2008: An Intellectual History Of Corporate Finance Theory, James R. Hackney Jr.
James R. Hackney Jr.
This article examines the financial crisis of 2008 and connections to corporate finance theory. The financial products and deregulation that led to the crisis were informed by corporate finance theories. These theories include diversification, the capital asset pricing model, and options theory. The theories have a scientific basis but can get deployed (in the form of financial product presentation or policy justification) in ways that deviate from the scientific articulation. The article provides an intellectual history of mainstream corporate finance theory and argues that it, despite the consequences of its misuse, is a valuable scientific achievement and even arguments for …

The Impact Of Internet-Based Services On Credit Unions: A Propensity Score Matching Approach, Elisabeta Pana, Sascha Vitzthum, David Willis

Credit unions focus their profit and capital management on the tradeoff between providing immediate financial benefits to members and augmenting their institutional well-being through capital accumulation. In this study, we investigate the changes in benefits to credit union members via the interest-rate spread around the adoptions of internet-based services for the period of 2000–2009. Using the propensity score matching method, we show that adopters offer a less favorable interest-rate spread to their members than non-adopters. However, we find evidence that early adopters have a lower degree of market power in dealing with their members than late adopters and offer interest-rate …
