This paper presents empirical evidence on the effects of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 on the value of firms and on the cross-listing choice of firms destined to three major markets in North America, Asia and Europe. We use dynamic panel data methods and treatment effects methods and find that...

For sequential decision processes with countable state spaces, we prove compactness of the set of strategic measures corresponding to nonrandomized policies. For the Borel state case, this set may not be compact (Piunovskiy, Optimal control of random sequences in problems with constraints....

This paper addresses constrained Markov decision processes, with expected discounted total cost criteria, which are controlled by non-randomized policies. A dynamic programming approach is used to construct optimal policies. The convergence of the series of finite horizon value functions to the...
