Public Opinion Of The Sec’S Proposal For Mandatory Climate Disclosures, Isaac Blanchette
Honors Theses and Capstones
In 2022, the Security and Exchange Commission created a proposal that would make climate risk disclosures mandatory for publicly traded companies. This paper aims to understand how Congress is likely to vote on the proposal as well as how students at the University of New Hampshire perceive the proposal. Using publicly available comment letters made by members of Congress in response to the proposal and extrapolating the responses of the other representatives, it is unlikely that the proposal will have enough support to be ratified. However, a survey conducted with students at the University of New Hampshire showed that the …

Honors Theses and Capstones
The world of investing is rapidly changing as technologies advance. In the past few years especially, we have seen many investors shifting toward decentralized digital money, or what is known as cryptocurrencies.

Investors tend to rely on gold because it’s believed to be a safe-haven asset, in times of economic uncertainty. This paper aims to determine whether or not this traditional mindset is still effective in today’s ever-changing investment environment. To …

Should Cryptocurrency And Nft’S Be Used As Collateral?, John M. Helmanis
Should Cryptocurrency And Nft’S Be Used As Collateral?, John M. Helmanis
Honors Theses and Capstones
Nothing has captured the attention of modern finance quite like cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFT), whether it’s the massive skyrocketing price or the next day's sudden drop wiping out millions of dollars seemingly overnight. This paper seeks to understand cryptocurrencies and NFT's position in modern finance in terms of collateral. Specifically, the question that will be answered is should cryptocurrencies and NFTs be used as collateral? This question has relevance because widespread use as collateral would signify validation as an asset class that holds value. Some cryptocurrency brokers are making loans backed by cryptocurrency, but currently, no major banks are …

The results of the brand image survey are compared to those from a recent study completed in 2016. There are a few changes made to this survey, including adding alumni, faculty, and staff to the respondent pool. In doing so, this research will …

Prior literature has identified a significant connection between female board representation and the impact on female executives and their pay. The prominence of female leaders has been shown to enable fellow females to pursue leadership positions. In addition, prior studies have found that female board members have encouraged an increase in female executives, and an increase in female executive pay has been identified due to the role of the board in …

Finding The Best Predictors For Foot Traffic In Us Seafood Restaurants, Isabel Paige Beaulieu
Finding The Best Predictors For Foot Traffic In Us Seafood Restaurants, Isabel Paige Beaulieu
Honors Theses and Capstones
COVID-19 caused state and nation-wide lockdowns, which altered human foot traffic, especially in restaurants. The seafood sector in particular suffered greatly as there was an increase in illegal fishing, it is made up of perishable goods, it is seasonal in some places, and imports and exports were slowed. Foot traffic data is useful for business owners to have to know how much to order, how many employees to schedule, etc. One issue is that the data is very expensive, hard to get, and not available until months after it is recorded. Our goal is to not only find covariates that …

Specifically, it seeks to answer these two research questions: What pain-points do music artists face in the industry as currently constructed, and what is the next mode of music consumption desired by consumers?

Understanding Secret Consumer Purchases And Their Effects On Brands, Jenna M. Peterson
Understanding Secret Consumer Purchases And Their Effects On Brands, Jenna M. Peterson
Honors Theses and Capstones
Relationships created between brands and consumers are very important to establish loyalty and ensure repeat purchases. Our research examines the different ways that brands can help consumers keep their purchases a secret and how these methods help to develop relationships with the consumers. We also examine how the different secrecy methods affect feelings linked to the brand, such as, guilt, satisfaction, and more. We hypothesize that the secrecy methods which lead a consumer to feelings of guilt will directly correlate with feelings of dissatisfaction with their purchase and a higher connection with the brand. We find that although consumers link …
