摘要:Using breadth of corporate bond fund ownership to proxy for the combination of short-sale constraints and divergence of opinions in the corporate bond market, this paper investigates whether and to what extent Miller's overpricing theory holds for corporate bonds. Consistent with the theory, we document a significant and positive relation between changes in breadth and the cross-section of future corporate bond returns. Because of the bounded upside of debt, the ability of changes in breadth t...

摘要:Existing research often assumes that firms' financial reporting choices influence their return comovement with other firms. We examine the validity of that assumption. First, we provide initial evidence suggesting that similarity in two firms' disclosures not only predicts but influences future return comovement between those two firms. Second, we show that this predictive ability aggregates to the market level; disclosure similarity can be used to estimate more accurate forward-looking market...

摘要:Using a unique setting where stand-alone banks submit filings to bank regulators instead of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), we examine the consequences of fragmented securities regulation for information-processing costs and opportunistic insider trading. We find the market reaction to insider-trading filings on FDICconnect less timely than to those on SEC's Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) system, suggesting FDICconnect generates higher information...

摘要:Matching makes or breaks peer-to-peer (P2P) platforms. As the platform-based P2P markets shift from their grassroots nature toward elite offerings, will differentiating suppliers by quality increase matching performance? Can P2P markets differentiate certain suppliers without marginalizing others? We seek answers to these questions by leveraging an empirical opportunity on Airbnb, which differentiates listings that meet high quality standards from others through its Plus program in several U.S...

摘要:Because of a growing population and shrinking arable land, the world is facing a global food crisis. One important solution could be to subsidize farmers to sustain their production so that they can produce more food for consumers and earn more money for themselves. An efficient subsidy program should also aim to reduce income inequality among farmers, as measured by the Gini coefficient of farmers' income. In this paper, we examine and compare the effects of input and output farm subsidy prog...

摘要:Connected healthcare is a form of health delivery that connects patients and providers through connected health devices, allowing providers to monitor patient behavior and proactively intervene before an adverse event occurs. Unlike the costs, the benefits of connected healthcare in improving patient behavior and health outcomes are usually difficult to determine. In this study, we examine the efficacy of a connected health system that aimed to reduce readmissions through improved medication a...

摘要:We study a shipment consolidation problem commonly faced by companies that outsource logistics operations and operate in a commit-to-delivery mode. It involves delivering a given set of orders to their destinations by their committed due times using multiple shipping methods at the minimum total shipping and inventory cost. The shipping cost is generally nonlinear in shipping quantity and can be represented by a subadditive piecewise linear function. We investigate two shipping scenarios, one ...

摘要:The rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies by many organizations has recently raised concerns that AI may eventually replace humans in certain tasks. In fact, when used in collaboration, machines can significantly enhance the complementary strengths of humans. Indeed, because of their immense computing power, machines can perform specific tasks with incredible accuracy. In contrast, human decision makers (DMs) are flexible and adaptive but constrained by their limited cogn...

摘要:This paper proposes a methodology to price bonds jointly issued by a group of countries-Eurobonds in the euro-area context. We consider two types of bonds; the first is backed by several and joint guarantees (SJGs), and the second features several but not joint guarantees (SNJGs). The pricing of SJG and SNJG bonds reflects different assumptions regarding the pooling of debtors' fiscal resources. We estimate fiscal limits for the six largest euro-area economies over 2008-2021 and deduce counter...

摘要:We build on recent studies on daughter-to-father influence to explore how male founders' fatherhood of daughters impacts female representation in their ventures. We find that, conditional on the total number of children, fathering an additional daughter ver-sus a son is associated with a 4% (11%) increase in female director (employee) representa-tion. This daughter-to-father effect gradually matures as daughters grow up and socialize in schools and workplaces, and it increases as daughters age...
