Keeping Up With the Joneses: Spillover Effect of M&A Activity to Compensation
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We identify a spillover effect from Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) activity to CEO compensation. Previous research shows that post‐merger, acquiring CEOs receive higher pay with reduced sensitivity to negative performance. We demonstrate that CEOs who don't engage in M&A, but have compensation peers who do, also experience increased pay and ...

Relative Peer Quality and 10‐K Readability
Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of the relative managerial quality of executives’ compensation peers on the readability of narrative disclosures in focal firms’ 10‐K reports. We use the fraction of peers with greater managerial ability scores than the reporting firm to measure the reporting firm's relative peer quality (RPQ).

A timing attack on the CIKS-1 block cipher [PDF]
Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering, 2005., 2005 The use of data-dependent transformations has been an area of increasing interest for the designers of ciphers. In particular, data-dependent permutations (DDPs) provide a fast and simple cryptologic primitive when implemented in hardware. However, when a DDP block is naively implemented in software, it can reveal information about the Hamming weight ...

Illuminating OTC markets: The impact of public disclosures on trading dynamics
Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article, we examine market reactions to US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) disclosures in the US over‐the‐counter (OTC) equity market, where public information is often scarce. We find that OTC securities exhibit stronger and more persistent responses to disclosures than exchange‐traded securities, highlighting investors ...

Board Dynamics over the Startup Life Cycle
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We explore the dynamics of venture capital (VC)‐backed startup boards using novel data on director entry, exit, and characteristics. At formation, a typical board is entrepreneur‐controlled. Independent directors join the median board after the second financing and hold a tie‐breaking vote.

A differential attack on the CIKS-1 block cipher [PDF]
Canadian Conference on Electrical and Computer Engineering 2004 (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37513), 2004 A. and N. Moldovyan (see J. Cryptology, vol.15, p.61-72, 2002) introduced a cipher, called CIKS-1, with security based mainly on data-dependent permutations (DDPs). The goal of the cipher was to exploit the speed and simplicity of DDPs to create a fast hardware-oriented block cipher.

Do Women Executives Make Workplaces Safer? Evidence from Workplace Safety Violations
Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.Abstract In this study, we develop and test theory on whether, when, and how the prevalence of women in firms’ top management influences workplace safety – an important ‘do no harm’ dimension of corporate social performance. Consistent with our theorizing, we find that there is a negative relationship between the prevalence of women executives in firms’

Comput. Informatics, 2011 Recently, data-dependent permutations (DDP) that are very suitable for intelligent multimedia and ubiquitous computing systems have been introduced as a new cryptographic primitive for the design of fast encryption systems. The CIKS-128 and CIKS-128H block ciphers are the typical examples of DDP-based encryption algorithms.

The Evolving Role of 21st Century Municipal Financial Advisors
Public Budgeting &Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe the evolution of the market for municipal financial advice since the year 2000 and present new empirical facts. Using SEC municipal advisor filings, we show that the number of operating advisors has decreased over time. We document that withdrawals—either exits, reorganizations, or mergers—are concentrated among smaller firms and ...

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 High-risk rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) occurring in childhood to young adulthood is associated with a poor prognosis; especially children above the age of 10 with advanced stage alveolar RMS still succumb to the disease within a median of 2 years.
