Sports CEOs and Corporate Innovation
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Using a hand‐collected data set, we find that firms led by CEOs who were student‐athletes in college exhibit significantly superior innovation outcomes, as measured by patent numbers, citation counts, and the economic value of patents. Evidence from CEO turnover analysis supports a CEO imprinting interpretation.

Push-off mechanics in speed skating with conventional skates and klapskates [PDF]
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, 2000 Personal and world records in speed skating improved tremendously after the introduction of the klapskate, which allows the foot to plantar flex at the end of the push-off while the full blade continues to glide on the ice. The purpose of this study was to gain insight into the differences in skating technique with conventional versus klapskates and to

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The consequences of mis‐managing vulnerable stocks (i.e., those with low productivity and high susceptibility to depletion) are high and potentially permanent. To support sustainable fisheries management, stock assessments can be improved by increasing the quantity and quality of fishery‐independent survey (i.e., survey) data.

Offspring Size Resolves a Population Growth Paradox in Rays and Skates
Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The maximum intrinsic population growth rate, rmax, is a key determinant of sustainable fishing limits and is increasingly used in risk assessments. We previously showed how the rmax of rays and skates (subclass Batoidea) scales with adult body size, temperature (and hence depth) such that smaller‐bodied species and those in warmer, shallower ...

Rent seeking with efforts and bids [PDF]
, 2001 We analyse the development of world records speed skating from 1893 to 2000 for both men and women. The historical data show that it is likely that the relation between skating speed and distance of the various events is non-linear and converges to a ...

Integrability and Chaos in Figure Skating [PDF]
Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2019 We derive and analyze a three dimensional model of a figure skater. We model the skater as a three-dimensional body moving in space subject to a non-holonomic constraint enforcing movement along the skate's direction and holonomic constraints of continuous contact with ice and pitch constancy of the skate. For a static (non-articulated) skater, we show

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In fisheries management, socioeconomic data, specifically qualitative data analysis, is often underutilized. This study qualitatively analyzed a primary federal data collection effort in the Northeast United States, The Greater Atlantic Region Commercial Fishing Business Cost Survey.
