“The Impact of Anticipated Social Consequences on Recurring Disability Accommodation Requests”

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) has not achieved its potential, in part, because those it sought to help have shown a reluctance to request accommodations. Using survey data from 229 hearing-impaired employees and an expert panel, logistic regression confirmed that monetary costs and impositions on others negatively influence the likelihood of requesting recurring accommodations. Furthermore, monetary costs and impositions on others negatively influence the requester's assessments of the social consequences of making such requests. These consequences, in turn, can also negatively influence future disability accommodation requests.

“The impact of family structure on issue selling by successor generation members in family firms”

Input from members of the successor generation to the incumbent leader of the business is important to
family firms that desire to grow into multi-generational entities. Although researchers have examined
upward influence behavior in general, there is a dearth of studies discussing this phenomenon as it
relates to family firms. In this paper, we seek to fill this gap by focusing on issue selling behavior—one of
the fundamental ways the successor generation pursues upward influence. Issue selling is defined as a
discretionary behavior used to direct top managers’ attention toward important issues. Specifically, by
integrating the extant issue selling literature with research on the impact of family structure on family
decision-making, we help explain the strength of successor generation members’ intentions to sell issues
and their choice of selling strategies.

“The Impact of Gender on Voluntary and Involuntary Executive Departure”

We examine the frequency and conditions of executive departure from S&P 1500 firms. Based upon published news reports, we find that female executives are more likely than male executives to depart their positions voluntarily and involuntarily in the presence of controls for firm performance, firm governance, and human capital. We also find that women are less likely than men to depart voluntarily as firm size increases or board size decreases but more likely to be dismissed as the board becomes more male dominated

“The Impact of Governance and Cross-listing on Firm Valuation: Evidence from Chinese Listed Firms”

This study contributes to the limited literature on the link between corporate governance and cross-listing behavior in developing countries. Using recently available financial and accounting data from the Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE) and the Hong Kong (HKEX) exchange, contributes to the literature by documenting an unusual bi-directional flow of cross-listing between mainland China and Hong Kong. Further, estimates reveal a 2.7 cross-listing premium for listed “domestic” SSE and SZSE firms, presenting a departure from the common uni-directional models (Ferris, Kim & Noronha, 2009). This cross-listing premium can be interpreted as indicative that many investors believe there are better opportunities in the SSE and SZSE markets than the HKEX. This study provides new insights on the role of state ownership in reducing firm informational and agency problems, providing evidence that suggests state ownership may provide more information sharing (with other shareholders). Estimates also show that cross-listing has a positive impact on firm valuation as measured by Q -particularly for state-owned enterprises (SOE).

“The Impact of heterogeneity in consumer characteristics on the design of optimal time-of-use tariffs”

Unlike commercial and industrial sectors where they have been successfully deployed, the rollout of voluntary Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs in the residential sector has been tepid. One cause for this limited penetration of TOU tariffs in the residential sector is the difficulty in offering appropriate price incentives to a consumer class that is heterogeneous in its demographics and preferences. In this paper, we develop a parsimonious game-theoretic model to shed light on the optimal pricing problem from the utility's perspective when its consumers vary in their electricity consumption scheduling preferences as well as their willingness or flexibility to shift consumption in response to price incentives offered by the utility. Using this model, we generate structural insights into the role of the two types of consumer heterogeneity on the design and potential of voluntary TOU tariffs. We also show how our model and insights can be used to evaluate the current state and potential of TOU tariffs in two U.S. states.
