摘要:This paper studies the effect of leadership on the ability to promote cooperation in teams through the performance measurement system. Performance measurement of teams can promote cooperation by rewarding team success, or can emphasize and reward individual success, by promoting competition via relative performance evaluation.

Drawing upon established scales of frugality in the literature on consumer psychology, we develop and validate a multi-item measure of corporate frugality. Like individual frugality,...

摘要:Evidence from the accounting and finance literatures suggests that short sellers are sophisticated users of financial information who target firms with suspect financial reporting. This literature provides evidence that short sellers take positions in firms before their accounting problems are publicly revealed through SEC enforcement actions, restatements, or lawsuits. Thus, we investigate whether short interest (total shares sold short scaled by total shares outstanding) provides a signal of...
