Rich Dad Poor Dad? CEO Private School Background and Firm Risk

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the effect of CEO childhood socioeconomic status (SES) on firm risk. Using hand‐collected data on US CEOs' private high‐school attendance as proxy for high‐SES, we find that firms led by high‐SES CEOs exhibit 5.35% lower firm risk. This effect diminishes with CEO tenure, analyst coverage, and institutional ownership, consistent with

Utility of expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads in the control of vector-borne diseases.

The Indian journal of medical research, 2006
The use of chemicals or bio-larvicides for the control of Culex quinquefasciatus and Anopheles stephensi breeding in pit latrines and overhead tanks (OHT) respectively is discouraged owing to many undesirable impacts in the environment. Due to faecal contamination and poor survival, use of predatory fish in OHTs is not feasible.
