We posit two assumptions: (i) the board is at least as well informed as any individual shareholder; (ii) shareholders can condition their information acquisition on the proxy advisor's (PA) recommendation.

Innovation and the great divergence
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Recent historical national accounting data show that the timing of the Great Divergence hinges on the different trends in north‐west Europe and the Yangzi Delta region of China. Although north‐west Europe only pulled ahead of the Yangzi Delta after 1700, both the positive trend of GDP per capita in north‐west Europe after 1700 and the negative

Habitat Choice as a Function of Lighting Environment in Bluefin Killifish
Ethology, EarlyView.This experiment tested habitat preference in bluefin killifish as a function of lighting environment for fish from a swamp and a spring population. Swamps are red‐shifted habitats and springs are full spectrum. Fish from the swamp population preferred the red‐shifted lighting environment, while spring fish were tolerant of both lighting environments ...

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is curative therapy for early‐stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but a rare subset of patients develop aggressive intrasegmental recurrence shortly after complete ablation. We characterized the incidence, risk factors, and absolute risk.

The Decentralization of Liquor Policies in Texas During the Post‐Prohibition Era
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine the decentralization of liquor policies in Texas during the Post‐Prohibition era using newly collected historical legislative roll call data. By combining these data with local referendum vote shares, we analyze both legislators' and constituents' preferences on liquor policy.

Labor Associations: The Blue Wall of Silence
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We present a model showing that when the demand for labor services is inelastic and individual behavior is imperfectly monitored, a firm's employees may prefer to protect its shirkers and conceal information about peers' performance from the firm.

The Random Power Function for Tests Based on Pivotal Quantities
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary In clinical trials planning, evaluation of the probability of success of an experiment is of central interest, for instance, in sample size determination. This assessment typically involves analyses of the power function of a test on a parameter of interest, such as a relevant treatment effect.

A spectral analysis extension to DEMATEL for strategic leverage points identification
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract Efforts to intervene in complex systems often emphasize influential factors, yet system behavior is equally shaped by the relationships among them. Methods such as Decision‐Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) map causal structures but remain descriptive and do not identify which relationships provide the greatest leverage for ...

The application of machine learning models to optimal TSP tour length estimation
International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.Abstract The traveling salesman problem (TSP) is a well‐known NP‐hard problem in combinatorial optimization, with numerous applications in logistics and elsewhere. This paper introduces a machine learning‐based approach to estimate the optimal tour length of the TSP, using linear regression, random forests (RF), and neural networks, including ...

Lurking Patent Claims and Strategic Royalty Contracts
The Journal of Industrial Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper analyzes optimal licensing contracts when a licensee faces the risk of future infringement claims by unknown patent holders. In a setting where a noncompeting licensor contracts with a monopolistic manufacturer, fixed‐fee licensing is optimal absent such claims.
