Using different U.S. states’ staggered adoption of a legislative change that makes it easier for shareholders to compel firms to switch to a majority voting system, we find that this legislation leads to more income-increasing earnings management. This finding is consistent with firms...

Empirical research has shown that there were international spillover effects from the U.S. monetary policy to output level, net exports and price levels of each country, and the impact on prices in each country was of synchronous effect. The structural impulse response analysis showed that U.S....

Porous framework materials hold great promise in tuning the chemical and physical structure of polyamide membranes for efficient desalination. In this work, anionic covalent organic framework (aCOF) with abundant sulfonic acid groups was embedded into polyamide matrix via interfacial...

Chemodynamic therapy (CDT), which is featured with high tumor specificity and selectivity, has aroused extensive interest as an advanced anti-cancer approach. However, chemodynamic therapeutic efficacy heavily relies on the level of endogenous hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) that is intrinsically...

The widespread use of algorithmic technologies makes rules on tacit collusion, which are already controversial in antitrust law, more complicated. These rules have obvious limitations in effectively regulating algorithmic collusion. Although some scholars and practitioners within antitrust...

We examine how winning an all-star award affects analyst behavior. Using a novel dataset on analyst rankings, we employ a regression discontinuity design that compares the research outputs of third-place all-star analysts and runner-up analysts who barely miss the distinction. We find that...
