Essays on principal-agent models
No full textThis dissertation consists of three chapters on principal-agent models. Chapter 2 studies an optimal contract design problem in a principal-framework whereas chapter 3 is an empirical investigation of the incentive contracts in the market of top executives. Chapter 4 is a theoretical chapter exploring welfare impacts of the structure in a top-level bureaucracy. In the first chapter, I consider a dynamic moral hazard model where the principal offers a series of short-run contracts. I study the optimal mix of two alternative instruments for incentive provision: a performance based wage (a “carrot”) and a termination threat (a “stick”). At a given point in time, these instruments are substitutes in the provision of incentives. I am particularly interested in the dynamic interaction of these two instruments. Both carrot and stick are used more intensively as the agent approaches the end of her finite life. The sharing of the surplus of the relationship plays a key role: a termination threat is included in the optimal contract if and only if the agent's expected future gain from the relationship is sufficiently high, compared to the principal's expected future gain. Also, a termination threat is more likely to be optimal if output depends more on “luck” than on effort, if the discount factor is high, or if the agent's productivity is low. Having inspired from chapter 2, chapter 3 of the dissertation is an empirical study of the contracts of Chief Executive Officers (CEO). Direct pay for performance and a threat of termination when performance is low are two important instruments to incentivize CEOs. This chapter is an empirical analysis of the use of these two incentive devices and how they depend on tenure and managerial ability. For managers promoted from within a firm, ability is proxied by their age at the time of promotion. For managers hired from outside, I instead rely on constructed measures of “reputation”, based on media citations over time windows of different length. Using a sample of firms, listed in S&P 1500 over the period 1998-2008, I find that CEO compensation and the threat of forced turnover are used as incentive devices throughout tenure. Even though the results indicate that pay increases as the CEO is more senior in her tenure, there is no strong evidence that termination threat follows a particular time pattern. For outsider CEOs, a better reputation increases pay and decreases the likelihood of forced turnover, with stronger effects for more current reputational measures. Regarding the impacts of reputation on the tenure-pay relationship, only more current measures have a significant and negative effect. Managerial ability, as proxied by age-at-promotion for insiders and as proxied by reputation for outsiders, decreases the likelihood of forced turnover. More current reputation measures, as in the case of total pay, have a larger impact of likelihood of turnover. Chapter 4 investigates the welfare implications of multiple principals in the highest level of bureaucracy. An agent has to carry out two separate tasks, which can either be organized by two separate principals, or combined under one principal. The relationship between the top level (the principals) and the lower level (agent) of the bureaucracy is a “principal-agent problem”. The existence of multiple principals generates a “common agency”. The analysis reveals that the optimal hierarchy depends on the existence of “rents” from office that the principals enjoy. If there are no rents, the two systems are equally welfare-efficient. A single-principal model dominates common agency otherwise.Ph.

Micromeria myrtifolia: Essential Oil Composition and Biological Activity
No full textWOS: 000475765700020Detailed chemical composition of the essential oil of Micromeria myrtifolia Boiss. & Hohen., as well as its antioxidant and enzymatic activity, was analyzed. The most abundant constituents of the oil were sesquiterpene hydrocarbons, beta-caryophyllene (40.8%) and alpha-copaene (17.9%), followed by oxygenated sesquiterpene, caryophyllene oxide (13.5 %). Antioxidant activity of the oil was tested via 8 different methods based on reduction of both radicals and stable metal cations. The oil of M. myrtifolia showed weaker, but still comparable activity with the known antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole and disodium edetate, that are used as positive controls. In addition, the essential oil of this aromatic plant species revealed strong inhibitory effects against tyrosinase and alpha-amylase. Present results suggest the use of the essential oil of endemic M. myrtifolia in a wide variety of applications in food and pharmacological industries.Ministry of Agriculture, Czech RepublicMinistry of Agriculture, Czech RepublicThe author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by project No. RO0418 (sustainable systems and technologies, improving crop production for higher quality of production of food, feed, and raw materials, under conditions of changing climate) funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Czech Republic
Family Generated and Delivered Social Story Intervention: Acquisition, Maintenance, and Generalization of Social Skills in Youths with ASD
No full textWOS: 000370214800006The purpose of this study was to examine whether (a) family members were able to learn to write a social story and deliver social story intervention to teach social skills to their children (age 12 to 16) with ASD, (b) youths with ASD acquired and maintained the targeted social skills and generalized these skills across novel situations. Multiple probe design across three dyads (family members-youths with ASD) was used. Results showed that family members were able to write and deliver social story intervention with high treatment integrity and youths acquired the targeted social skills. Also they were able to maintain the acquired skills over time and generalize them to novel situations. Family members reported positive opinions about using social stories and social comparison data showed that after intervention, the social skill performance of the youth with ASD was found to be similar to their peers. Based on the findings, future research needs and implications for practice are discussed.Anadolu Univesity [1103E062]This study was a partial fulfillment of doctoral dissertation of the first author at Anadolu University.

Copula approach to select input/output variables for DEA
No full textDetermination of the input/output variables is an important issue in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Researchers often refer to expert opinions in defining these variables. The purpose of this paper is to propose a new approach to determine the input/output variables, it is important to keep in mind that especially when there is no any priori information about variable selection. This new proposed techniqueis based on a theoretical method which is called "Copula". Copula functions are used for modeling the dependency structure of the variables with each other. Also we use the local dependence function which analyzes the point dependency of variables of copulas to define the input/output variables. To illustrate the usefulness of the proposed approach, we conduct two applications using simulated and real data and compare the efficiencies in DEA. Our results show that new approach gives values close to perfectio

Pneumocephalus and Pneumorrhachis after Spinal Surgery: Case Report and Review of the Literature
No full textTrauma is a common cause of pneumocephalus, or air in the cranial cavity, and of pneumorrhachis, or the presence of intraspinal air. After spinal surgery, occurrence of pneumocephalus, especially with pneumorrhachis, is extremely rare. We report the case of a patient who developed pneumocephalus and pneumorrhachis after lumbar disc surgery and pedicle screw fixation. There was no cerebrospinal fluid leakage during surgery. On postoperative day 1, the patient complained of headache, nausea, and dizziness. Brain and lumbar computed tomography scans revealed pneumocephalus and pneumorrhachis. With conservative treatment, the patient's complaints resolved within 10 days
