Stock Market Tournament [PDF]

open access: possibleSSRN Electronic Journal, 2012
We study an optimal contracting problem between shareholders and managers when managers’ effort choices are hidden but on which stock market prices reveal some information.

Visualizing the stock market

CHI '99 extended abstracts on Human factors in computing systems - CHI '99, 1999
We describe a new 2-dimensional visualization algorithm capable of presenting detailed information on hundreds of items while emphasizing overall patterns in the data. This display method, which builds on Shneiderman's treemap technique, makes use of both hierarchy and similarity information.
