CEO's Early‐life Experience of Disasters and Corporate Environmental Performance
Abacus, EarlyView.We investigate the nexus between the early‐life disaster experiences of chief executive officers (CEOs) and their firms’ environmental performance metrics. We hypothesize that first‐hand experience of the adversities of natural disasters in the formative years of a CEO can catalyze a transformation in their environmental cognizance and perspective ...

Reasoning about Evolving Nonmonotonic Knowledge Bases
ACM Transactions on Computational Logic, 2001 Recently, several approaches to updating knowledge bases modeled as extended logic programs have been introduced, ranging from basic methods to incorporate (sequences of) sets of rules into a logic program, to more elaborate methods which use an update policy for specifying how updates must be incorporated. In this article, we introduce a framework for

Canadian Journal of Economics/Revue canadienne d'économique, EarlyView.Abstract Traditional foods (often referred to as “country foods”) play a critical role in Indigenous culture, nutrition, food sovereignty and food security.

Broke Autocrats, Broken Elections: Trade Shocks and Electoral Fraud in Autocracies
Economics &Politics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We argue that when terms‐of‐trade (ToT) shocks reduce resource rents, autocrats lose the fiscal capacity to sustain loyalty through patronage and increasingly rely on electoral manipulation as a survival strategy. We present a simple model in which rents finance patronage in normal times, while adverse shocks reduce the effectiveness of ...

Signaling Vision: Knowing When to Quit
International Economic Review, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We study a signaling game where agents signal their type by choosing when to quit pursuing an uncertain project. High types observe news about project quality and quit when bad news arrives. Low types who do not observe any news may mimic high types by quitting continuously over a phase of time.

CBDC as Imperfect Substitute to Bank Deposits: A Macroeconomic Perspective
Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.Abstract The impact of Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is analyzed in a closed‐economy model with monopolistic competition in banking and where CBDC is an imperfect substitute with bank deposits. The design of CBDC is characterized by its interest rate, its substitutability with bank deposits, and its relative liquidity.

The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We develop a unified theory of blockholder governance and the voting premium in a setting without takeovers or controlling shareholders. A voting premium emerges when a minority blockholder can influence shareholder composition by accumulating votes and buying shares from dissenting shareholders.

The (Missing) Relation between Acquisition Announcement Returns and Value Creation
The Journal of Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) computed around acquisition announcements are widely considered to be market‐based assessments of expected value creation. We show, however, that announcement returns do not correlate with commonly used and new measures of ex post outcomes. A simple characteristics‐based model using standard information known
