Revisiting The U-Shaped Patterns In Volatility And Price Impacts: Novel Results Using Trade-Time Estimates, Yashar H. Barardehi, Dan Bernhardt Mar 2025

Revisiting The U-Shaped Patterns In Volatility And Price Impacts: Novel Results Using Trade-Time Estimates, Yashar H. Barardehi, Dan Bernhardt

Business Faculty Articles and Research

When measured using trade-time aggregation, intraday patterns in trading activity remain U-shaped, but estimates of volatility and Kyle’s lambda fall sharply from open to close. U-shaped patterns in volatility and Kyle’s lambda found using commonly-used calendar-time aggregation reflect over-aggregation biases when trading activity is high as near the open and close. Indicative of imperfectly-competitive liquidity provision, trade-time aggregation also reveals that in active markets, expected trade imbalances are positively priced and unexpected trade imbalances are more strongly priced when they share the sign of expected imbalances, while in less active markets expected trade imbalances are negatively priced.

Homebuilder ETFs provide investors with a diversified portfolio of residential construction and sales companies which reduces risks associated with individual stock selection in the sector.

Esg Irony: Why Corporate Tax Avoidance Must Be Considered, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah Mar 2025

Esg Irony: Why Corporate Tax Avoidance Must Be Considered, Reuven S. Avi-Yonah

Articles

Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing has been the focus of major attention in corporate law. Many writers praised ESG as the future of corporate governance. The push for ESG comes from the belief that the government is incapable of fulfilling its responsibility of achieving social and environmental goals, and that corporations are frequently in the best position to help. ESG investing has been significantly bolstered by large asset management institutions like BlackRock Group, State Street Global Advisors, and Vanguard Group. The “Big Three” own large stakes in most public corporations, which they have been pushing to address ESG issues.

Antecedents Of Brand Authenticity In Cause-Related Sport Marketing Campaigns, Keevan Statz, Brian Gordon

Journal of Applied Sport Management

Cause-related sport marketing (CRSM) has been a popular managerial technique over the last two decades. There is a common perception that for CRSM to be effective, consumers must perceive the sponsoring brand to be authentic in its actions. Minimal empirical research has analyzed the antecedent factors that lead consumers to perceive a brand as authentic in CRSM. Using multiple linear regression, six antecedent factors’ impact on brand authenticity were tested. Perceptions of the brand’s motives and brand transparency were found to have a statistically significant impact on brand authenticity.


The Role Of Fans’ Responses To Sponsorship Activation In Shaping Sport Sponsorship Effectiveness, Junyi Bian, Benjamin Colin Cork Mar 2025

The Role Of Fans’ Responses To Sponsorship Activation In Shaping Sport Sponsorship Effectiveness, Junyi Bian, Benjamin Colin Cork

Journal of Applied Sport Management

The study explored how types of benefit in sponsorship affect fans’ inference of sponsors’ motives and their consequences on sponsorship effectiveness. A total of 1,478 National Basketball Association fans were recruited via Amazon Mechanical Turk and completed surveys through Qualtrics. Findings indicated that sponsors’ motives varied with types of benefit, with egoistic motives linked to utilitarian benefit and altruistic or normative motives tied to hedonic and social benefit. These results extended previous research by exploring more than the altruistic-egoistic motive dichotomy in linking benefit types to sponsorship effectiveness, highlighting the importance of aligning benefit with fan preference to boost relevance.
