Interplay Between Accounting And Prudential Regulation, Jeremy Bertomeu, Lucas Mahieux, Haresh Sapra
Interplay Between Accounting And Prudential Regulation, Jeremy Bertomeu, Lucas Mahieux, Haresh Sapra
Olin Business School Faculty Research
We develop a model in which accounting information and prudential regulation interact to affect banks’ incentives to originate loans. Prudential regulators impose capital requirements to prevent banks from taking excessive risk. However, regula- tors cannot commit to ex-ante efficient intervention and, instead, respond to ex-post accounting information. We show that capital requirements and accounting mea- surement are substitutes when considered separately. By contrast, when considered jointly, accounting measurement and capital requirements are complementary tools that affect the level and efficiency of credit decisions. Comparative statics link cap- ital requirements, quality of accounting information, and regulatory intervention to credit market conditions. …
Blockchain Technology Development And Its Relevance To Higher Education, Teresa K. Lang Phd, Rita C. Jones Phd
Blockchain Technology Development And Its Relevance To Higher Education, Teresa K. Lang Phd, Rita C. Jones Phd
Journal of Business, Industry, and Economics
Blockchain is an important and innovative technology that has only had targeted use for a few years (Peters and Panayi, 2016). Initially, it was the supporting technology for bitcoin transactions, and very soon thereafter, it became the foundation on which to support business transactions in industries such as banking, trading, insurance, voting, etc. (Atzori, 2015). This paper focuses on providing background information on the development of Blockchain Technology (BT) to those unfamiliar with this concept, as well as noting some of its current and potential future uses to those more well-versed in it.
Choice Of Law And The Preponderantly Multistate Rule: The Example Of Successor Corporation Products Liability, Diana Sclar
Choice Of Law And The Preponderantly Multistate Rule: The Example Of Successor Corporation Products Liability, Diana Sclar
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
Most state rules of substantive law, whether legislative or judicial, ordinarily adjust rights and obligations among local parties with respect to local events. Conventional choice of law methodologies for adjudicating disputes with multistate connections all start from an explicit or implicit assumption of a choice between such locally oriented substantive rules. This article reveals, for the first time, that some state rules of substantive law ordinarily adjust rights and obligations with respect to parties and events connected to more than one state and only occasionally apply to wholly local matters. For these rules I use the term “nominally domestic rules …

Covid-19’S Impact On The United States Labor Market, Sean Patrick Orr
Honors Theses and Capstones
The goal of this paper is to investigate how COVID-19 impacted the US labor market, but more specifically how stay-at-home orders and other COVID policies adversely impacted the United States labor market. Using working papers from other economists, we can see who was so adversely affect and why. Also, how governments COVID policies impact the labor market. Using Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Local Area Unemployment data, the Center for Disease Controls Case Surveillance Public Use data, and state COVID-19 policies, I created graphs illustrating these factors. I found that when there was a large decrease in cases, those unemployment rates …

Making Sense Of And Giving Sense To Management Research On Social Evaluations And Ethical Decisions: A Three Essay Dissertation, Alanna M. Hirshman
Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)
Organizations, whether private or public, are subject to evaluations by their stakeholders and society. While positive social evaluations can help organizations build their reputation and social capital, negative evaluations can cause significant social and economic distress. In both cases, stakes are high for organizations. Thus, understanding how social evaluations are formed and taken into account during firms’ strategic decision-making is paramount. This three-essay dissertation builds on the sensemaking and sensegiving literature in order to explain positive and negative social evaluations in the context of ethical decision-making. Specifically, the following three questions are addressed: a. Which types of sensemaking and sensegiving …

Peer learning through pair programming is a type of collaborative learning that involves students working in pairs to discuss computer programming concepts or develop codes to solve problems. The Zoom breakout room method is applied to teach pair programming in a virtual classroom during the COVID-19 environment. By facilitating pair programming in a virtual learning environment, we gained valuable experience in promoting collaborative learning, active learning, and problem-based learning activities in a cloud setting.
Effects Of Advance Refunding Municipal Bonds After The U.S. Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, Sarah Curry
Effects Of Advance Refunding Municipal Bonds After The U.S. Tax Cuts And Jobs Act, Sarah Curry
Doctor of Business Administration Dissertations
The process when U.S. municipalities retire callable bonds early and refinance them with bonds of a lower coupon rate is called advance refunding. The advance refunding of debt is a widespread practice in municipal finance; however, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 removed the option to keep this debt tax-exempt and now requires municipalities to convert from tax-exempt to taxable. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact eliminating advance refunding of municipal debt into tax-exempt status has on the municipality’s advance refunding decision making process, specifically at the state level. Municipal governments are still …

Cross-National Attitudes About Paid Parental Leave Offerings For Fathers, Qi Li, Chris Knoester, Richard J. Petts
Cross-National Attitudes About Paid Parental Leave Offerings For Fathers, Qi Li, Chris Knoester, Richard J. Petts
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Using cross-national data from the 2012 International Social Survey Programme (N = 33,273), this study considers institutional, self-interest, and ideational factors in analyzing public opinions about the provision, length, and source of paid parental leave offerings for fathers. We find substantial support for generous leave offerings. Multilevel regression results reveal that being a woman, supporting dual-earning expectations, and realizing more family strains lead to support for more generous leave offerings. Endorsing separate spheres and intensive mothering attitudes reduces support for more generous leave offerings; although, gendered attitudes interact with one another in predicting leave preferences, too. Finally, country-level indicators …

Attitudes About Paid Parental Leave: Cross-National Comparisons And The Significance Of Gendered Expectations, Family Strains, And Extant Leave Offerings, Chris Knoester, Qi Li, Richard J. Petts
Department of Sociology: Faculty Publications
Using data on paid parental leave preferences from 35,488 adults situated within 26 different OECD countries, and multilevel modeling, this study examines public opinions about the provision of paid parental leave, some government funding of leave offerings, and preferred lengths of leave offerings. We consider how attitudes may be similar or different across social contexts and then focus upon the extent to which gender, gendered parenting role attitudes, family strains, and country-level institutionalized leave offerings are associated with leave preferences. The findings indicate that the vast majority of respondents are in favor of rather widespread and generous paid parental leave …

We explain the innovation’s implementation as well as the results observed throughout the years in the digital stories developed by students. Finally, we discuss further applications of this innovation in other courses and future research avenues.

Our sample includes 123 completed U.S.-based spin-off events during a 14-year long time frame. According to our empirical analysis, we find support for both hypotheses, which appear to be significant and positive. In …
