The combinatorial nature of integer programming is inevitable even after takingspecific model structure into consideration. This is the root problem in implementing large-scale nonlinear integer programming models regardless of which algorithm one chooses to use. Consequently, we suggest that...

This study examines the relationship between family firms and earnings management by considering the influence of board independence. Based on a sample of 379 listed high-technology firms over 7years in Taiwan, we find that family firms are positively related to earnings management. Further, we...
