Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract We examine director compensation using a large sample of hand‐compiled U.S. mutual fund data. We find that director compensation is positively correlated with observable productive characteristics—workload, experience, and demographics—that capture the benefits from the directors’ monitoring effort.

orcAI: A Machine Learning Tool to Detect and Classify Acoustic Signals of Killer Whales in Audio Recordings

Marine Mammal Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acoustic monitoring is an essential tool for investigating animal communication and behavior when visual contact is limited, but the scalability of bioacoustic projects is often limited by time‐intensive manual auditing of focal signals. To address this bottleneck, we introduce orcAI—a novel deep learning framework for the automated detection ...
