Restructuring Agency Relationships in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry: An Economic Analysis
No full textRecent state legislative reforms of real estate agency relationships suggest that traditional agency law and practice are not meeting the needs of the parties involved in a residential real estate purchase and sales transaction. In this article, we argue that this is due, at least in part, to the bundling of information and representation services provided by brokers. This bundling results in a tradeoff between the benefits of buyers and sellers in sharing information prior to a match, and the cost to the parties individually of revealing information during bargaining. We conclude that, from an economic perspective, effective agency reform must solve this basic conflict, perhaps by unbundling the matching and representation functions.
Win Your Day: Mary Kay
No full textEXECUTIVE SUMMARY The beauty market in which Mary Kay has succeeded for the past 50 years is changing. To ensure the continued growth of the Mary Kay brand, it is essential to create new relationships with the next generation of beauty product consumers and sellers. To do this, Mary Kay must connect to Generation-Y women and match their changing ideals of beauty. Above all else, findings show that Gen-Y women are passionate about what it means to be a woman today. As a group, they have diverse dreams and ambitions, but they share the same desire to be successful. They respect brands that celebrate women\u27s potential and promote more than a narrow ideal of beauty. With a long tradition of helping women become independent and successful, Mary Kay values already match those of the target audience. The key to this campaign is translating existing Mary Kay values into a message that resonates with Generation-Y women. Mary Kay wants to help you ...
WIN YOUR DAY. The campaign executions center on getting Gen-Y women to contact an Independent Beauty Consultant who will help them win their day. Online videos, public relations events and social media tactics will drive traffic to a multi-faceted microsite that breaks down purchase barriers. The creative implementation of these strategies throughout the 12-month campaign will create a lasting message that can be easily leveraged by IBCs to communicate with this target audience
Agency Disclosure in the Real Estate Transaction and the Impact of Related State Policies
No full textAlthough agency disclosure is required by every state, recent national surveys of home buyers and sellers indicate that disclosure varies significantly across the United States. This study seeks to determine the causes of these disparities by examining states¡¯ educational standards, disclosure forms, regulatory environments, and buyer characteristics. The results identify several variables that have a deterministic impact on the probability of disclosure and suggest corrective actions and policies that states can implement to improve the effectiveness of agency disclosure in the real estate transaction.
Broad Down, Devon: archaeological and other stories

Journal of Material Culture, 2010, Vol. 15, Issue 3, pp. 345 - 367. Copyright © 2010 SAGE Publications. The definitive publisher-authenticated version is available online at http://mcu.sagepub.com/content/15/3/345.shortThis article explores the knowledge construction process of an archaeological site in East Devon, UK. Bouncing off an oral historical account of the site that seems to run against scientific truth claims, the author investigates the story of how knowledge of the site has developed over the last two centuries. Building on previous work that explores the history and practice of archaeology, the article opens up questions of what counts as evidence. Then, taking a cue from more recent work that suggests a more dynamic and open-ended engagement with the landscape, the article turns to examine how the meaning of a site can be made and remade. As part of this endeavour, questions of what as well as who can ‘speak’ are examined and some space is opened up for the agency of ‘minor figures’, both human and non-human
R&D, Agency Costs and Capital Structure: International Evidence
No full textWe examine the impact of R&D intensity and agency costs on the value of firms across 13 economies. We find that R&D adds value while high agency costs reduce value. R&D adds value, however, even when agency costs are high. We show that in those firms where agency costs are high and R&D intensity is high the debt control hypothesis is at work. In contrast to the stylised fact of high R&D firms having low levels of debt, these firms have higher levels of debR&D, Agency Costs, Capital Structure

Aphrahat's Demonstrations 2 and 7
No full textWith Ephrem, the fourth-century author Aphrahat is a shining light in early Syriac literature. His discourses on various themes, known as Demonstrations, have long been appreciated for their imagery, spirituality, and exegesis. This volume reproduces translations of Aphrahat’s 2nd and 7th Demonstrations into English, from the Journal for the Society of Oriental Research, nos. 14 and 16 (1930, 1932). In Demonstration 2, On Love, Aphrahat discusses law over against love and the relationship between Law and Gospel; he discusses Jesus’ commandments on love and forgiveness and he relates how Jesus exemplified the love he commands. The discussion of Law and Gospel gives Aphrahat the opportunity to trace salvation history. Demonstration 7, On Penitents, is one of the earliest and most thorough discussions of penance or repentance in any language. Aphrahat offers an extended picture of Jesus as physician to sinners, and he points out numerous examples of penitents from the Bible and God’s acceptance of them. Finally, with a heartfelt sense of pastoral care, he calls on pastors to follow Jesus’ example as they encourage and welcome those who repent. Aphrahat’s thorough acquaintance with the Bible comes across in almost every line.Translated into English from Syriac
