Physician Communication Attitudes And Success In Patient-Doctor Communication Amongst Medical School Students, Silva Topchyan, Priyanka Joshi, Hananeh Derakhshan

LSAMP Poster Presentations

The aim of this research paper is to assess the issue of difficulty in verbal communication amongst medical practitioners and their patients. In recent years, the push for efficiency and speed has caused physicians to decrease the time they spend with their patients. This push for efficiency has caused a strain in the healthy development of physician-patient relationships. Therefore, hospitals and clinics are suffering from a decrease of patient satisfaction and loss of customers and revenue. Previous studies have been done to assess the use of implementing techniques from the hospitality industry and having a more humanistic approach to health …

Does A Student-Athletes' Socioeconomic Background Matter?, Carl E. Gilmore Jr.

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research focuses on college football players from low socioeconomic backgrounds (i.e., attended a Title I High School) and examines whether they are more likely to experience athletic success and influence the performance of the college football programs they attend relative to other student-athletes. The results show that, over the period 2010-2016, Title I players are more likely to be drafted or play in the NFL than other student-athletes. In addition, teams with more Title I players on their roster appear to reap some benefits. On one hand, Title I heavy rosters are associated with better conference records and are …

The Impact Of Single-Family Rental Reits On Regional Housing Markets: A Case Study Of Nashville, Tn, Ken Chilton, Robert Mark Silverman, Rabia Chaudhry, Chihaungji Wang

Public Administration Faculty Research

The U.S. Congress authorized the creation of real estate investment trusts (REITs) in 1960 so companies could develop publically traded real estate investment portfolios. REITs focus on commercial property, retail property, and rental property. During the last decade, REITs became more active in regional housing markets across the U.S. Single-family rental (SFR) REITs have grown tremendously, buying up residential properties across the country. In some regional housing markets, SFR REITs own noticeable shares of single-family homes. In those settings, SFR REITs take large numbers of housing units off of real estate markets where homeownership transactions occur and manage these properties …

Economics 101: Tariffs And Trade, Rod Mabry, Manuel Reyes-Loya

Hibbs Brief

Basic economics tells us trade with others benefits all. That is the basis for us being economists and you being a barber, banker, manager, or oil man. We all specialize according to our talents, work preferences, and available resources. We then work hard and trade the goods and services we produce. Specializing, rather than producing our own food, our own clothes and our own houses, allows us to become much more efficient producers. That added efficiency results in much higher total output, lower prices and higher incomes.

Do Pro‐Diversity Policies Improve Corporate Innovation?, Roger C. Mayer, Richard S. Warr, Jing Zhao

Business Faculty Publications and Presentations

Using new product announcements, patents, and patent citations as measures of corporate innovation, we find that corporate policies that promote more pro‐diversity cultures, specifically treatment of women and minorities, enhance future innovative efficiency. This positive effect is stronger during economic downturns and in firms that are more innovative, value intangibles and human capital more highly, have greater growth options, have higher cash flow, and have stronger governance. Pro‐diversity policies also increase firm value via this stimulating effect on innovative efficiency. Our results suggest a channel through which workforce diversity may enhance firm value.

Portfolio Liquidity And Share Turnover Of Closed-End Mutual Funds, Charles P. Cullinan, Xiaochuan Zheng, Elena Precourt

Accounting Department Faculty Journal Articles

We examine the relationship between the liquidity of the portfolios of closed-end mutual funds and the share turnover of closed-end funds' shares. We find that the portfolio liquidity/share turnover relationship is contingent upon the nature of the funds' shareholders. For funds with mainly smaller shareholders, there is a negative relationship between portfolio liquidity and share turnover, suggesting that smaller investors are more likely to hold shares of these funds to avoid the transaction costs associated with trading. However, as more institutional investors hold fund shares, portfolio liquidity is positively associated with share turnover.
