Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...

Pairwise Imitation and Tournament Graphs

International Economic Review, EarlyView.
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 ...

Does Pay Transparency for Employees Affect Product Recalls?

Journal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pay transparency can affect workers’ behavior and, consequently, firm outcomes. This study exploits the state‐level, staggered enactment of pay transparency laws to examine how pay transparency affects firms’ product recalls. We find that firms headquartered in pay‐transparency‐law states see an increase in product recalls.

When do Firms with New CEOs Engage in M&A? Understanding the Timing of New CEOs' First M&A Announcements

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract New CEO appointments can create strategic uncertainty for stakeholders, potentially undermining the CEO's position. While the stakeholder uncertainty perspective suggests CEOs may act boldly to clarify their strategic intentions during early tenure, the CEO life cycle perspective proposes that CEOs avoid such moves during early tenure, as they

Pressed lithium disilicate glass ceramics: Microstructural characterization, in vitro and in silico nonlinear dynamic analysis for biaxial flexural strength

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To evaluate the mechanical properties of lithium disilicates, and to assess the predictive capability of in silico models for biaxial flexural strength (BFS). Materials and Methods Specimens of four heat‐pressed lithium disilicates (IPS e.max Press, Rosetta SP, LiSi Press, Vintage Prime Press) were obtained.
