These are the presentation slides for the paper "Innovative Efficiency and Stock Returns". The abstract of the paper is the following: We find that innovative efficiency (IE), patents or citations scaled by research and development expenditures, is a strong positive predictor of future returns...

We compare innovation strategies of public and private firms based on a large sample over the period 1997-2008. We find that public firms' patents rely more on existing knowledge, are more exploitative, and are less likely in new technology classes, while private firms' patents are broader in...

Motivated by a theoretical model, we examine for 43 countries whether it is policy or policy uncertainty that affects technological innovation more. Innovation activities, measured by patent based proxies, are not, on average, affected by which policy is in place. Innovation activities however,...

Prior literature documents mixed evidence about how research and development activities affect corporate creditworthiness. We investigate whether publicly available patent information is incrementally useful in assessing the benefits and risks of corporate innovation from bondholders'...

Using a unique dataset of corporate philanthropy, we find that direct giving activities are positively associated with more collaborative and original innovation. In contrast, our results do not hold for corporate foundations' contributions. Our results suggest that much of what is ostensibly...

We propose that innovative originality (InnOrig) is a valuable organizational resource, and that owing to limited investor attention and skepticism of complexity, firms with greater InnOrig are undervalued. We find that firms' InnOrig strongly predicts higher, more persistent, and less volatile...

Intangible resources play an increasingly influential role in today's business operations, but how they affect inventory management remains underexplored in the literature. This paper associates a firm's inventory-turnover performance with its capabilities of utilizing the intangible resources...

We carry out a large-scale investigation of technical trading rules in the foreign exchange market, using daily data over a maximum of forty years for thirty developed and emerging market currencies. Employing a stepwise test to safeguard against data-snooping bias and examining over 21,000...

Studies of the term structure of interest rates try to explain the relationship between the yield to maturity on zero coupon bonds and their time to maturity. Over the years, many theoretical models have been developed to explain the stylized facts of U.S. Treasury yields; however, model...
