• The Privatization Origins of Political Corporations: Evidence from the Pinochet Regime AI翻译
  作者：Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile; City St Georges, University of London
  摘要：We show that the sale of state-owned firms in dictatorships can help political corporations to emerge and persist over time. Using new data, we characterize Pinochet's privatizations in Chile and find that some firms were sold underpriced to politically connected buyers. These newly private firms benefited financially from the Pinochet regime. Once democracy arrived, they formed connections with the new government, financed political campaigns, and were more likely to appear in the Panama Pape...

• Balancing the Books: Convergence and Diversity of Accounting in Massachusetts, 1875-1895 AI翻译
  作者：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：The late nineteenth century is often described as an era of innovation in managerial practice, including accounting. However, despite rich case studies of individual firms, we have little quantitative knowledge of average practices. This paper uses errors and omissions in balance statements to estimate the prevalence of double-entry bookkeeping and depreciation at Massachusetts corporations between 1875-1895. In 1875, 62 percent of firms balanced their returns, but by 1895 this number exceeded...
