Stock market reactions to announcements of the board of directors: evidence from Italy
No full textThe board of directors plays an important role in corporate governance. It
is an internal mechanism that controls and monitors the actions of
managers and aligns the utility functions between corporate owners
and managers. The board of directors performs multiple functions that
concern, for example, the replacement of the managers, financial policy,
the preparation of strategic plans and other actions that affect the performance
of the company. The board plays an important role since on the
one hand it controls the actions of management and on the other it
advises the management regarding the strategies to be adopted. In this
study, 100 announcements regarding the appointment of the board of
directors of 100 Italian listed companies during the period 2012–2014
are investigated. The results show a positive reaction within 20 days
around the announcement date. In four of the six time windows, cumulative
abnormal returns (CARs) are positive and statistically significant.
The positive reaction of the market would appear, however, to be linked
more to the composition of the board of directors than to the size of the
board of director
Does the Board of Directors Affect the Extent of Corporate R&D? Evidence from Italian listed companies
No full textUsing a panel dataset for 369 firm-year observations during the period 2005-2013 in the Italian context, we investigate
the impact of certain characteristics of corporate boards on the magnitude of corporate Research and Development
(R&D). Our findings reveal a negative relationship between R&D and board size on the one hand and between R&D
and board ownership on the other hand. Moreover, we find strong evidence of a positive and statistically significant
relationship between R&D and independent corporate board directors. In addition, we also find a relationship between
R&D and board diversity effect, as measured by women and foreign members on the boardroom. Our study uses
multiple econometric models to address endogeneity issues
Runaway College Costs: How College Governing Boards Fail to Protect Their Students
No full textIn the United States, college costs, especially tuition and fees, have increased much more rapidly than either the overall Consumer Price Index or median household income. This cost inflation has effectively closed the doors of higher education to many qualified students and contributed to a staggering $1.5 trillion in student debt. Additionally, the number of college enrollments in the United States actually declined for eight straight years between 2011 and 2019, as college student bodies became increasingly stratified on the basis of family incomes.
Virtually every public college cost increase, however, requires a positive vote from each university\u27s governing board―and the record shows that these votes are nearly always unanimous. In Runaway College Costs, James V. Koch and Richard J. Cebula argue that many trustees have forgotten that they should act as fiduciaries who represent the best interests of students, parents, and taxpayers. Instead, Koch and Cebula explain, too often many trustees prize size and more prestigious rankings over access and affordability. These misplaced priorities make them vote in favor of ever more plush facilities, expensive intercollegiate athletic programs, administrative bloat, and outdated models of instruction and research. … [Amazon.com]https://digitalcommons.odu.edu/economics_books/1030/thumbnail.jp

Bipolar disorder, Type A behavior, and coronary disease
No full textThis paper describes a model for integrating two psychological constructs--bipolar disorder and the Type A behavior pattern--each of which has been associated with enhanced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). It highlights similarities between manic/hypomanic behaviors associated with bipolarity and the behaviors observed in Type A individuals. The proposed model conceptualizes Type A behavior as an alternating pattern of coping with challenging and stressful events. Thus, initial coping efforts are manifested as behavioral hyper-reactivity (including mania/hypomania), but this gives way to hypo-reactivity (including helplessness and depression) after repeated failure to assert control and/or attain relevant goals. This alternation of Type A coping patterns resembles the affective and behavioral transitions often seen in bipolar patients. Future research on psychological, epidemiological, and pathophysiological issues concerning CHD should document areas of commonality and independence between bipolarity and Type A behavior. Such studies would benefit from consideration of a model that identifies psychosocial dimensions common to Type A, mania/hypomania, and depression.Peer reviewedThis is an electronic version of an article published in Glass, David C. and Richard J.
