Reporting Control Deficiencies in Repeat Internal Audit Engagements*
ABSTRACT This study examines the reporting of control deficiencies in repeat internal audit engagements. Experienced internal auditors were presented with a hypothetical case in which they were asked about the likelihood of reporting an internal control deficiency discovered last year but which was, “through an oversight,” not reported to company ...

A note on a.s. finiteness of perpetual integral functionals of diffusions [PDF]
In this note, with the help of the boundary classification of diffusions, we derive a criterion of the convergence of perpetual integral functionals of transient real-valued diffusions.

Poincar\'e and log-Sobolev inequalities for mixtures
This work studies mixtures of probability measures on $\mathbb{R}^n$ and gives bounds on the Poincar\'e and the log-Sobolev constant of two-component mixtures provided that each component satisfies the functional inequality, and both components are close

We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

No-arbitrage conditions and absolutely continuous changes of measure
We study the stability of several no-arbitrage conditions with respect to absolutely continuous, but not necessarily equivalent, changes of measure. We first consider models based on continuous semimartingales and show that no-arbitrage conditions weaker

Survival Remains High in Griffon Vultures 40 Years After Reintroduction
The reintroduction of the Griffon vulture (Gyps fulvus) in French Grands Causses in 1981 is largely regarded as a significant translocation success. 40 years of quality data from intensive monitoring allows us to investigate the survival rates in this long‐lived population on the long term, but also to reflect on the crucial role of adaptive management

On Poincare and logarithmic Sobolev inequalities for a class of singular Gibbs measures
This note, mostly expository, is devoted to Poincar{\'e} and log-Sobolev inequalities for a class of Boltzmann-Gibbs measures with singular interaction. Such measures allow to model one-dimensional particles with confinement and singular pair interaction.

Minimum wage and employer‐sponsored supplementary health insurance: Evidence from Canada
Abstract This study explores the effect of increases in the minimum wage on the probability of receiving employer‐sponsored supplementary prescription drug insurance through the workplace in Canada: Do Canadian employers respond to higher minimum wage by cutting insurance coverage?

L'estimation des populations naturelles par capture-recapture et par captures successives est souvent entachée d'erreur car, dans de nombreux cas, l'hypothèse fondamentale d'égalité des probabilités de captures pour tous les individus dans le temps et ...

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs
ABSTRACT This paper investigates strategic dynamics under the behavioral rule of pairwise interact and imitate (PII), which requires minimal information and emphasizes outperforming opponents in pairwise interactions. We characterize PII using weak tournament graphs and, for a broad class of dynamics, establish a one‐shot stability result for ...
