Micro-Enterprise Education: The Academy For Creating Enterprise, Barry West, Gibb Dyer
Micro-Enterprise Education: The Academy For Creating Enterprise, Barry West, Gibb Dyer
Journal of Undergraduate Research
In developing countries throughout the world, one often-used approach to alleviating poverty has been to encourage entrepreneurship among the poor. Micro-credit is a highly popular solution to encourage the poor to launch new enterprises, but has somewhat mixed results (Field et al., 2013; Banjeree et al., 2009; Karlan and Zinman, 2011; Kaboski and Townsend, 2011). Current literature suggests that simply giving loans to those who start businesses out of necessity is not the best approach to encourage entrepreneurial success. These writers argue that these “necessity entrepreneurs” need education in the form of business knowledge and tools to help them succeed …

Remote Worker Characteristics: The Positive Relationship Of Intrinsic Motivation In Remote Worker Productivity, Josefina Martinez-Amador
Remote Worker Characteristics: The Positive Relationship Of Intrinsic Motivation In Remote Worker Productivity, Josefina Martinez-Amador
Student Scholarship
Recent research predicts that by 2016, 47% of the workforce will perform work from a remote location. This study contributes new knowledge to remote workforce management by hypothesizing that personality traits (intrinsic motivation, grit, and impression management) and job engagement have direct positive and significant relationships with employee productivity. To address this gap, we conducted a quantitative study of 300 employees (remote and non remote) who are currently actively employed by different kind of companies. Three major findings emerged from our study. First, our research demonstrates that intrinsic motivation to work remotely is a critical characteristic for remote workers to …
Smartphones: A Game Changer For Psychological Research, Wei Wang, Jibo He
Smartphones: A Game Changer For Psychological Research, Wei Wang, Jibo He
Publications and Research
As technology continues to advance and smartphones continue to grow in popularity, we argue that smartphones have rapidly evolved as a suitable tool for psychological research. In this editorial, we will first briefly introduce the technological and social features possessed by smartphones that are ideal for psychology research. Then we distinguish two approaches to use smartphones for research, highlighting the external and internal validity of each approach. We further discuss computer skills and analysis methods needed for research with smartphones.

Essays On Risk Measurement And Fund Separation, Fang Liu
Essays On Risk Measurement And Fund Separation, Fang Liu
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
Chapter 1 extends Cass and Stiglitz's analysis of preference-based mutual fund separation. We show that high degrees of fund separation can be constructed by adding inverse marginal utility functions exhibiting lower degrees of separation. However, this method does not allow us to find all utility functions satisfying fund separation. In general, we do not know how to write the primal utility functions in these models in closed form, but we can do so in the special case of SAHARA utility defined by Chen et al. and for a new class of GOBI preferences introduced here. We show that there is …
Three Essays In Accounting Regulation And Debt Contract Characteristics, Bryan Graden
Three Essays In Accounting Regulation And Debt Contract Characteristics, Bryan Graden
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation is comprised of three essays relating to accounting regulation and debt contracting. The first essay is designed to draw inferences about lenders' demand for lease accounting rules in light of proposed lease accounting standard changes. I study changes in lease-related debt covenants surrounding the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 13: Accounting for Leases in 1976. I find that lenders are significantly less likely to inhibit leasing activity via lease restrictions after SFAS 13 adoption and that lenders are significantly more likely to modify debt covenants to capitalize operating leases across time in the post-SFAS 13-adoption period. …
Essays On The Impact Of Institutional Investors On Firms' Liquidity And Payout Policy, Munira Ismail
Essays On The Impact Of Institutional Investors On Firms' Liquidity And Payout Policy, Munira Ismail
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation consists of 2 essays in the area of corporate finance. The title of my first essay is “Impact of Institutional Investors on Firms’ Financial Constraint and Liquidity”. We can find ample evidences in existing literature which show that institutional investors play a vital role in the corporate world. Many researchers have linked institutional investors to activism, monitoring benefits, mitigating the cost of debt using government bond, spin off activities and improving information asymmetry problem. In the first essay, I would like to add another dimension to institutional investors’ literature by examining institutional investors’ role in mitigating financial constraint …
Two Essays In Financial Economics, Kyle J. Putnam
Two Essays In Financial Economics, Kyle J. Putnam
LSU New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
The following dissertation contains two distinct empirical essays which contribute to the overall field of Financial Economics. Chapter 1, entitled “The Determinants of Dynamic Dependence: An Analysis of Commodity Futures and Equity Markets,” examines the determinants of the dynamic equity-commodity return correlations between five commodity futures sub-sectors (energy, foods and fibers, grains and oilseeds, livestock, and precious metals) and a value-weighted equity market index (S&P 500). The study utilizes the traditional DCC model, as well as three time-varying copulas: (i) the normal copula, (ii) the student’s t copula, and (iii) the rotated-gumbel copula as dependence measures. Subsequently, the determinants of …
The Humility Effect: Mitigating Intergroup Conflict, Reese Haydon, Dr. Kurt Sandholtz
The Humility Effect: Mitigating Intergroup Conflict, Reese Haydon, Dr. Kurt Sandholtz
Journal of Undergraduate Research
Prior techniques for solving intergroup prejudice have shown limited practical application. Common to these techniques is an emphasis on understanding and appreciating the competencies of the out-group members (i.e., disconfirming the in-group’s stereotypes of the out-group). The purpose of our research is to build a case for a different approach—one that emphasizes in-group humility, or recognition by in-group members of their own strengths and weaknesses.
Essays In Financial Economics, Suying Liu
Essays In Financial Economics, Suying Liu
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
In Chapter 1, we generalize the concept of "systematic risk" to a broad class of risk measures potentially accounting for high distribution moments, downside risk, rare disasters, as well as other risk attributes. We offer two different approaches. First is an equilibrium framework generalizing the Capital Asset Pricing Model, two-fund separation, and the security market line. Second is an axiomatic approach resulting in a systematic risk measure as the unique solution to a risk allocation problem. Both approaches lead to similar results extending the traditional beta to capture multiple dimensions of risk. The results lend themselves naturally to empirical investigation.For …
Essays In Modeling The Consumer Choice Process, Taylor Bentley
Essays In Modeling The Consumer Choice Process, Taylor Bentley
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
In this dissertation, I utilize and develop empirical tools to help academics and practitioners model the consumer's choice process. This collection of three essays strives to answer three main research questions in this theme.In the first paper, I ask: how is the consumer's purchase decision impacted by the search for general product-category information prior to search for their match with a retailer or manufacturer ("sellers")? This paper studies the impact of informational organic keyword search results on the performance of sponsored search advertising. We show that, even though advertisers can target consumers who have specific needs and preferences, for many …
Essays On Executive Turnover, Johan Maharjan
Essays On Executive Turnover, Johan Maharjan
Arts & Sciences Graduate Student Theses and Dissertations
Chapter 1 deviates from the conventional practice by highlighting an alternative to forced CEO turnover. An interesting puzzle in corporate finance is the week sensitivity of disciplinary action against CEO to poor firm performance. I show that this weak relation is in part driven by an overlooked alternative to firing, which in practice takes the form of splitting the CEO-Chairman role or demoting the incumbent CEO to the executive Chairman position. I first document that such demotions are a frequently used alternative disciplinary mechanism, accounting for nearly 40% of all involuntary CEO transitions. I further show that the use of …
Capacity Planning And Resource Acquisition Decisions Using Robust Optimization, Aldis Jakubovskis
Capacity Planning And Resource Acquisition Decisions Using Robust Optimization, Aldis Jakubovskis
Dissertations
This dissertation studies strategic capacity planning and resource acquisition decisions, including the facility location problem and the technology choice problem. These decisions are modeled in an integrative manner, and the main purpose of the proposed models and numerical experiments is to examine the effects of economies of scale, economies of scope, and the combined effects of scale and scope under uncertain demand realizations using robust optimization. The type of capacities, or technology alternatives, that a firm can acquire can be classified on two basic dimensions. The first dimension relates to the effects of scale via distinction between labor-intensive (less automated) …

Combining Systems Methodologies To Reduce Allergen-Related Food Recalls, Jill Marie Sweney
Combining Systems Methodologies To Reduce Allergen-Related Food Recalls, Jill Marie Sweney
Dissertations and Theses
The risk of poor food safety is a major focus for managers in the food manufacturing industry. Despite industry-led and regulatory efforts to improve the overall food safety of US packaged consumer foods, product recalls and market withdrawals are increasing. This is especially true for the most frequent cause for food recall: the undeclared allergen. With industry trends leaning toward adoption of third-party food safety management certifications, a popular food safety code from the Safe Quality Foods Institute is evaluated using Systems Analysis. Three changes to the food safety code are proposed to address three of the top causes for …

The Intangible Factors Of Design And New Product Development, David L. Driskill
The Intangible Factors Of Design And New Product Development, David L. Driskill
Student Research Symposium
When thinking about product value it is important to realize that there are two main value classifications to take into account, tangible and intangible value. Although it may not seem obvious at first, all values that the consumer receives through using a product, whether tangible or intangible, do not happen by accident. All aspects of a product are built in by design. This is possible because of the intangible factors of the design process and implementation itself that a design team can utilize. The intangible design process is defined by three major layers: the knowledge layer, the emotion layer, and …
