  摘要：This article examines the role of creditor protection in the development of the U.K. corporate bond market.

  作者：Wake Forest University; University System of Georgia; University of Georgia
  摘要：Previous studies of the U.S. Constitutional Convention have relied on votes recorded for the state blocs or a relatively small number of delegate votes. We construct a new data set covering delegate votes on over 600 substantive roll calls, and use the data in several ways. First, we estimate a single dimensional position for the delegates which reflects their overall voting patterns. Next, we explain these positions using a variety of delegate and constituent variables. Finally, we suggest a ...
