Financial Statement Readability and Firm Debt Choice

Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Examining more than 16,000 firm‐year observations in the United States, we provide novel evidence showing that higher financial statement readability leads to a decrease in information asymmetry and the need for external monitoring, thereby reducing the reliance on bank debt relative to public debt.

Bank IPOs and Regulations: Cross‐Country Evidence

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present paper investigates the effect of banking industry regulations on bank initial public offering (IPO) underpricing. We approach this question from both a micro‐level and macro‐level regulatory perspective. First, we conduct our analysis within a micro framework, focusing on the effect of disclosure rules on IPO underpricing.

RSSI-Based Self-Localization with Perturbed Anchor Positions

, 2017
We consider the problem of self-localization by a resource-constrained mobile node given perturbed anchor position information and distance estimates from the anchor nodes. We consider normally-distributed noise in anchor position information.

Nonresponse Bias in Household Inflation Expectations Surveys

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper uses microdata from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand's Household Inflation Expectations survey to evaluate the effects of nonresponses to the inflation expectations question in the survey. We find nonresponses lead to substantial underrepresentation of some demographic groups in the survey: young, female, low‐income, and minority ...

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study

Journal of Economic Surveys, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.
