We examine whether cross-firm return predictability is associated with accounting quality (AQ), and find that stock returns of good AQ firms significantly positively predict one-month-ahead stock returns to industry- and size- matched poor AQ firms. In testing a delayed-information-processing...

This paper examines the effect of equity investor sentiment on the bond market. While empirical evidence suggests that high investor sentiment leads to equity overvaluation, there is limited evidence of its effect on the bond market. Sentiment can have a negative impact on bond returns via two...

We study the dynamics of bid-ask spread and trading volume using a multi-period trading model with asymmetric information and oligopolistic market makers. Market makers optimally make offsetting trades in "bid" and "ask" markets by adjusting bid and ask prices/depths to avoid holding...

We study an average-cost stochastic inventory control problem in which the firm can replenish inventory and adjust price at anytime. We establish the optimality to change the price from low to high in each replenishment cycle as inventory is depleted. With costly price adjustment, scale...

Uranyl, a strong Lewis acid, forms stable complexes with relatively hard donors and it is commonly believed that uranyl complex with trialkylamine is stabler than trialkylphosphine. However, there are no thermodynamic parameters to evaluate the complexation stabilities of R 3 N-UO 2 2+ and R 3...
