Behavioral Finance: A Survey Of Financial Literature, Quincy Hendricks Jan 2018

Behavioral Finance: A Survey Of Financial Literature, Quincy Hendricks

Honors Theses

Using academic studies and financial literature from over 40 researchers, I investigate if behavioral finance causes investors to not always act in a rational manner. In this thesis, I review the literature on investor behavior and outline the situational factors that contribute to investment decisions that are not consistent with the theory of rational expectations. In particular, I synthesize the departure from the theoretical standard due to gender bias, risk-taking, over confidence based on gender as well as institutional compared to individual investors, investor biases, external environmental influences, and lastly, herd behavior.

Marginal Revenue Product Of Division I Swimmers, Olivia Adele Raxter Jan 2018

Marginal Revenue Product Of Division I Swimmers, Olivia Adele Raxter

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

To date, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has undergone an excessive amount of reforms including topics such as student-athlete well-being, academics, enforcement, resource allocation, and so forth. However, despite the constant stream of policy reforms there has been a significant lack of effective reform initiatives with reference to the economic state of the NCAA. This void is partially due to the lack of sufficient empirical evidence surrounding the economic discussion of college athletics, specifically in regards to the discussion of the potential for performance based compensation for student-athletes. Past research for such compensation has focused primarily on large revenue …

The Impact Of Chinese Air Pollution On Match Attendance Of Chinese Super League, Wantong Fu

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

To date, environmental issues have become one of the most complex social and economic issues across the globe. Specifically, in the context of sport, the literature has considered how sport organizations may use environmental concerns as a way to connect to consumers, such as through the use of environmentally practices to help build the image of sport organizations. However, despite this lineage of studies, research which has focused on how changing environmental conditions may influence sport consumers are virtually non-existent. Such research is especially important in the case of China, where due to the rapid growth of urban areas and …

The Fundamentals Of Accounting: A Series Of Case Reports, Thomas W. Kemp

Honors Theses

I researched popular topics covering all aspects of Accountancy through a series of case reports. Each case report was different and provided a different focus. It begins with a case covering a full financial analysis of two similar companies, with my opinion of which was a better investment with an explanation.

It continues with a case devoted to income statement presentations with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Codification serving as the basis of reasoning. I then delve into a case involving a chocolate manufacturer. I record journal …

The Fundamentals Of Accounting: A Series Of Case Reports, William Swede Umbach

The Patterson School of Accountancy encourages students to participate in an internship before graduating.

Dilemmas In The Accounting World: A Case-By-Case Solution Series, Guy Thornton

Honors Theses

This paper is a collection of case studies performed with different real-world numbers from various companies whose names have been changed for confidentiality reasons. The different cases examine financial statements from these companies, and each case has a different topic of accounting to examine and answer questions about. The only outside source I used to answer these questions came from the FASB Codification. While most of the answers are correct, some may be just opinionated based on the research I did with the Codification and outside knowledge from the classroom. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to work …

Alternative Accounting Thesis: Special Topics, Kenneth Starling

Honors Theses

The following case studies represent the end result of my Accounting 420 class. The Patterson School of Accountancy provided an alternative thesis route that involved speakers from recruiters and case studies. While this thesis is the physical output on my year long course, the case studies do not close to encapsulating everything I learned in Dr. Dickinson's alternative thesis course. I was able to completely delve into the accounting topics. The loose structure of assignment allowed my classmates and myself to understand the cases much more completely as there were multiple approaches available.

Integrated Solution For Financial Analysis Case Studies, Nicole Park

Honors Theses

I completed an internship in the summer of 2017 with the same company, so I have a fairly concrete concept of what my full-time role will entail, specifically which skills will be helpful to me on the job. One of my cases during the summer internship involved determining the impact of a city's fiscal policies and resource allocation on city departmental performances to inform future budgetary decisions. I was able to locate the city's budget documents (usually between 100 and 200 pages) and financial statements and quickly find the numbers my team needed since I was familiar with the format …
