The Impact

Abstract This paper examines the impact of promotion-based tournament incentives on corporate acquisition performance. Measuring tournament incentives as the compensation ratio between the CEO and other senior executives, we show that acquirers with greater tournament incentives experience lower announcement returns. Further analysis shows that the negative effect is driven by the risk-seeking behavior of senior executives induced by tournament incentives. Our results are robust to alternative identification strategies. Our evidence highlights that senior executives, in addition to the CEO, play an influential role in acquisition decisions.

Summary:This article deals with the last decade of the reign of Psusennes I in the light of the short chronology set out in earlier articles by the same author. It is argued that the burials of Psusennes I, HPA Menkheperre, HPA Nesubanebded, Khakheperre Pinuzem, the Devotee of Hathor Henttawy and Queen Nodjmet all took place within a very short period of time, called in P. Brooklyn 16.205 “the Bad Times”. Elements of the funeral equipment of these individuals are discussed and several severe problems with the traditional views on these burials are highlighted. The author further discusses the Report of Wenamun and presents an alternative identification for its Nesubanebded.

The Global Financial Crisis

We develop a financial condition index (FCI) and examine the effects of monetarypolicy on financial conditions in Indonesia. We show that our FCI tracks financialconditions quite well because it captures key financial events (the Asian financialcrisis of 1997–1998, the Indonesian banking crisis, and the global financial crisis andits aftermath). A unique feature of our FCI is that it is quarterly and thus offers nearreal-time development in financial conditions. We also show that monetary policyshapes the FCI. A contractionary monetary policy leads to unfavourable financialconditions during the first two quarters, followed by favourable financial conditionsfor nearly three quarters. This finding is robust to an alternative identification strategy.Our findings highlight the critical role of the monetary authority in shaping financialconditions in Indonesia.

Alternative Identification

In December 1996 and January 1997, powdery mildew was observed on potted poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd. ex Klotzsch) plants in Monterey County, CA. Mycelia were observed on stems, petioles, mature and immature leaves, and bracts. Severely diseased leaves became twisted and bent and senesced prematurely. The white mycelia were conspicuous, epiphytic, and amphigenous; hyphae measured 4.6 to 6.9 μm in diameter. Growth initially was in patches but eventually became effused. Appressoria were slightly lobed to lobed and sometimes opposite. Conidiophore foot cells were cylindrical, sometimes bent at the base, and slightly flexuous to flexuous. Foot cells measured 30.0 to 46.2 μm × 5.8 to 6.9 μm and were followed by one to two shorter cells. Conidia were cylindrical to slightly doliform and measured 25.4 to 32.3 μm × 11.6 to 18.5 μm. The length-to-width ratios of conidia generally were greater than 2.0. Conidia were produced singly, placing the fungus in the Pseudoidium-type powdery mildew group. Conidia germinated at the ends, and no fibrosin bodies were observed. Cleistothecia were not found. The fungus was identified as an Oidium species. Pathogenicity was demonstrated by gently pressing infected leaves having abundant sporulation onto leaves of potted poinsettia plants (cvs. Freedom Red, Peter Star Marble, and Nutcracker White), incubating the plants in a moist chamber for 48 h, and then maintaining plants in a greenhouse. After 12 to 14 days, powdery mildew colonies developed on the inoculated plants, and the pathogen was morphologically identical to the original isolates. Uninoculated control plants did not develop powdery mildew. This is the first report of powdery mildew on poinsettia in California. This fungus appears similar to Microsphaera euphorbiae but has longer, slightly flexuous foot cells that do not match the description for M. euphorbiae (1,2). An alternative identification would be Erysiphe euphorbiae; however, there are no available mitosporic descriptions for morphological comparisons (1,2). In the United States, powdery mildew of poinsettia previously has been reported in various states in the Pacific Northwest, Midwest, and Northeast. References: (1) U. Braun. Beih.

Identification Processes

In the modern world, the processes of globalization, migration, increased social mobility, the availability of tourism and other ways of meeting cultures lead to the activation of intercultural communication. More and more people become bearers of more than one culture (biculturals). The choice of an identity model in scientific publications is often considered as a result of environmental influences, but intrapsychic factors, including cognitive styles, are not sufficiently considered. Existing studies give a rather vague picture. The purpose of this work is to generalize the available data on the role of the cognitive component in the identification processes, to identify possible predictors of hybrid and alternative identification, to build a model of the influence of cognitive factors on the choice of an identification model. The author's hypothetical model of cognitive predictors of hybrid or alternative identity (in the schema format) is proposed. We see further prospects for working on the problem in the empirical testing of the proposed model.

This paper provides evidence on monetary policy transmission for five key emerging market economies: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Monetary policy (interest rate) shocks are identified using modern Bayesian methods along with the more recent sign restrictions approach. We find that contractionary monetary policy has a strong and negative effect on output. We also show that such contractionary monetary policy shocks do tend to stabilize inflation in these countries in the short term, while producing a strongly persistent negative effect on real equity prices. Overall, the impulse responses are robust to the alternative identification procedures.

Science Evidence

Copyrights, which establish intellectual property in music, science, and other creative goods, are intended to encourage creativity. Yet, copyrights also raise the cost of accessing existing work—potentially discouraging future innovation. This paper uses an exogenous shift toward weak copyrights (and low access costs) during World War II to examine the potentially adverse effects of copyrights on science. Using two alternative identification strategies, we show that weaker copyrights encouraged the creation of follow-on science, measured by citations. This change is driven by a reduction in access costs, allowing scientists at less affluent institutions to use existing knowledge in new follow-on research. (JEL I23, K11, L82, N42, O34, Z11)
