Revisiting the U-Shaped Curve of Firm Scale and Efficiency0 aAre Family Firms More Efficient Revisiting the UShaped Curve of   c20233 aThis study applies a stochastic frontier model to examine the relationship between firm size and efficiency using a novel approach. The first novelty is that this study examines large and small firms separately to allow for heterogeneity between firm group sizes in terms of measuring the size-efficiency relationship. The second is that we use a modified frontier model which explicitly includes a family firm variable when measuring firm efficiency. Empirical results reveal that firms are in fact heterogeneous, with small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) exhibiting a U-shaped scale efficiency curve, while large enterprises (LE) exhibit an efficiency curve which is positive and linear. Robust results also confirm that family firms are relatively more efficient than non-family firms. In addition, while controlling for family firms does not appear to change the firm’s size-efficiency dynamics, failure to control for family firms leads to a bias in characterizing the nature of the firm’s production returns to scale.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aZhang, Yingchao1 aChen, Ku-Hsieh1 aChen, Pei-Hwa  u/biblio/are-family-firms-more-efficient-revisiting-u-shaped-curve-firm-scale-and-efficiency00421nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005100041210005000092260001800142653001200160653001700172100001800189856009200207       2022                        eng d00aChinese Capital Structure: Theory and Evidence0 aChinese Capital Structure Theory and Evidence  aChicagoc202210aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/chinese-capital-structure-theory-and-evidence-000422nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005100041210005000092260002100142653001200163653001700175100001800192856009000210       2022                        eng d00aChinese Capital Structure: Theory and Evidence0 aChinese Capital Structure Theory and Evidence  aChicago Ilc202210aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/chinese-capital-structure-theory-and-evidence00537nas a2200157   4500008004100000245009700041210006900138260000900207300001200216490000700228653001200235653001700247100001800264700002900282856006800311       2022                        eng d00aAn Empirical Examination of Firm Growth in the MENA Region: Through the Lens of Gibrat's Law0 aEmpirical Examination of Firm Growth in the MENA Region Through   c2022  a121-1310 v6010aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aWeidinger, Alois, Konrad  uhttps://www.springer.com/economics/microeconomics/journal/4081200452nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006400041210006200105260002700167653001200194653001700206100001800223856008900241       2022                        eng d00aMyths from Silicon Valley -Is Tech difference than Detroit?0 aMyths from Silicon Valley Is Tech difference than Detroit  aVienna, Austria.c202210aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/myths-silicon-valley-tech-difference-detroit00452nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006400041210006300105260001900168653001200187653001700199100001800216856009600234       2022                        eng d00aWhat Does Sustainable Growth look in the Technology Sector?0 aWhat Does Sustainable Growth look in the Technology Sector  aSlovakiac202210aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/what-does-sustainable-growth-look-technology-sector00445nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005600041210005600097260003300153653001200186653001700198100001800215856009000233       2021                        eng d00aChallenges and Opportunities of Research in Austria0 aChallenges and Opportunities of Research in Austria  aInvited Online Webinarc202110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/challenges-and-opportunities-research-austria00347nas a2200121   4500008004100000245002500041210002500066260002500091653001200116653001700128100001800145856006200163       2021                        eng d00aFulbright in Austria0 aFulbright in Austria  aWebinar onlinec202110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/fulbright-austria00384nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003700041210003600078260002500114653001200139653001700151100001800168856007600186       2020                        eng d00aAustria's Research Opportunities0 aAustrias Research Opportunities  aOnline Webinarc202010aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/austrias-research-opportunities01925nas a2200133   4500008004100000245005400041210005200095260000900147520152000156653001201676653001701688100001801705856006801723       2019                        eng d00aCorporate Governance: What We Know And Don't Know0 aCorporate Governance What We Know And Dont Know  c20193 aThe corporate governance literature provides a rich framework for examining the theoretical models and related mechanisms by which a firm is operated and controlled, but there are a number of challenges for future research that remain. This paper identifies some of the key studies and contributions of the existing corporate governance literature, while identifying several fruitful areas for research where our understanding of corporate governance is incomplete. For example, what is the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility, and how might this change in different institutional environments? Expanding standard models to include more nuanced factors within diverse and dynamic institutional environments is one challenge we face in modeling governance more comprehensively. In addition, as data becomes more easily available on smaller countries, transitional economies, and in frontier and emerging markets, we also need to expand our studies beyond the large Western country context. Future empirical work should undertake to better understand and examine the institutional structures, systems, mechanisms and incentives within understudied regions around the world. Beyond the notion of replication studies, careful cross-country studies would enable us to compare outcomes with existing studies and better inform us on fundamental differences (and similarities) between systems, contributing to our discussions on the limits of conversion between governance systems.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  uhttps://www.springer.com/economics/microeconomics/journal/4081200507nas a2200121   4500008004100000245009200041210006900133260000900202653001200211653001700223100001800240856012700258       2019                        eng d00aDr. Audretsch: or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Doing Small Business Research0 aDr Audretsch or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Doing Sm  c201910aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dr-audretsch-or-how-i-learned-stop-worrying-and-love-doing-small-business-research01314nas a2200157   4500008004100000245006400041210006400105260000900169520079400178653001500972653001200987653001700999100001801016700002101034856010101055       2019                        eng d00aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship in China0 aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship in China  c20193 aThis study examines the importance of geographic location on the empirical link between internationalization and entrepreneurial intention. Integrating data from multiple sources to create a measure of internationalization intensity, this study directly contributes to the literature by revealing a significant and more complex relationship between internationalization and entrepreneurship than previously suggested in the literature. Specifically, while highly internationalized locations allow better access to resource markets they may also hinder entrepreneurship for several reasons, including the fact that these locations have higher competition for resources. Results provide direct empirical support to recent theories on the importance of within country comparative differences.10aAccounting10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aWeidinger, Alois  u/biblio/internationalization-and-regional-entrepreneurship-china00519nas a2200121   4500008004100000245009500041210006900136260002100205653001200226653001700238100001800255856012400273       2018                        eng d00aEvidence on the Dynamic Nature of Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance in China0 aEvidence on the Dynamic Nature of Executive Compensation and Cor  aCopenhagenc201810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/evidence-dynamic-nature-executive-compensation-and-corporate-governance-china-000626nas a2200157   4500008004100000245010700041210006900148260002100217653001500238653001200253653001700265100001800282700002100300700002000321856012700341       2018                        eng d00aAn Examination of the Relationship Between Size and Growth of Listed Firms in the United Arab Emirates0 aExamination of the Relationship Between Size and Growth of Liste  aOxford, UKc201810aAccounting10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aWeidinger, Alois1 aWidmer, Melanie  u/biblio/examination-relationship-between-size-and-growth-listed-firms-united-arab-emirates01818nas a2200145   4500008004100000245006600041210006400107260000900171520132700180653001201507653001701519100001801536700001501554856010301569       2016                        eng d00aBusiness Cultural Intelligence Quotient: A Five-Country Study0 aBusiness Cultural Intelligence Quotient A FiveCountry Study  c20163 aCultural intelligence (CI) has often been linked to performance at the individual, team and firm levels as a key factor in international business success. Using a new measure of CI, the business cultural intelligence quotient (BCIQ), our study provides empirical evidence on several key antecedents of CI using data onbusiness professionals across five diverse countries (Austria, Colombia, Greece, Spain and USA). The findings suggest that the most important factors leading to cultural intelligence, in order of importance, are: the number of countries that business practitioners have lived in for more than six months, their level of education and the number of languages spoken. We find that cultural intelligence varies across countries, suggesting that some countries have a higher propensity for cross-cultural business interactions. By teasing out the common antecedents of BCIQ among professionals, our findings may help with screening and training professionals for international assignments. Future research may examine the environmental (country-specific) factors associated with a higher propensity for cultural intelligence (such as immigration, cultural diversity, languages spoken, and international trade) to explain the effect of country of origin on cultural intelligence in the professional community.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aAlon, Ilan  u/biblio/business-cultural-intelligence-quotient-five-country-study00523nas a2200133   4500008004100000245009500041210006900136260000900205490000600214653001200220653001700232100001800249856012200267       2016                        eng d00aEvidence on the Dynamic Nature of Executive Compensation and Corporate Governance in China0 aEvidence on the Dynamic Nature of Executive Compensation and Cor  c20160 v710aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/evidence-dynamic-nature-executive-compensation-and-corporate-governance-china00543nas a2200121   4500008004100000245011800041210006900159260001600228653001200244653001700256100001800273856013000291       2016                        eng d00aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship:  Empirical Evidence on the Formation of New Ventures in China0 aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship Empirical Evi  aChinac201610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/internationalization-and-regional-entrepreneurship-empirical-evidence-formation-new-000576nas a2200133   4500008004100000245011800041210006900159260001600228653001200244653001700256100001800273700002100291856013000312       2016                        eng d00aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship:  Empirical Evidence on the Formation of New Ventures in China0 aInternationalization and Regional Entrepreneurship Empirical Evi  aDubaic201610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aWeidinger, Alois  u/biblio/internationalization-and-regional-entrepreneurship-empirical-evidence-formation-new-100496nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007600041210006900117260002600186653001200212653001700224100001800241856011500259       2016                        eng d00aInternationalization, Geographic Location and Entrepreneurial Intention0 aInternationalization Geographic Location and Entrepreneurial Int  aNew Orleans, LAc201610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/internationalization-geographic-location-and-entrepreneurial-intention01508nas a2200205   4500008004100000245007800041210006900119260000900188300001000197490000700207520085100214653001501065653001201080653001701092653003301109100001801142700001601160700002101176856010501197       2016                        eng d00aThe role of informal capital on new venture formation and growth in China0 arole of informal capital on new venture formation and growth in   c2016  a79-910 v463 aThis study examines the nature and role of informal capital used by micro-firms in the dynamic emerging market of China. Using a unique source of data for 260 urban entrepreneurs, this study provides empirical evidence that entrepreneurs’ personal savings and family funding are important sources of start-up capital. However, household income is the most important funding source in driving firm growth over time. This research directly addresses the lacuna of studies on entrepreneurship in emerging economies and contributes to our understanding of the critical role informal capital plays in the Chinese entrepreneurial process. Overall findings suggest that informal capital is still predominantly used over formal capital sources for financing firm start-up, underscoring the slow transition in China from an emerging to a modern economy.10aAccounting10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades10aOSU-Cascades Hospitality Mgt1 aElston, Julie1 aChen, Sandy1 aWeidinger, Alois  u/biblio/role-informal-capital-new-venture-formation-and-growth-china00389nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003800041210003800079260002500117653001200142653001700154100001800171856007800189       2015                        eng d00aCultural Intelligence Antecedents0 aCultural Intelligence Antecedents  aWarsaw, Polandc201510aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/cultural-intelligence-antecedents00420nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005300041210005100094260001600145653001200161653001700173100001800190856009000208       2015                        eng d00aA Hierarchy of Cultural Intelligence Antecedents0 aHierarchy of Cultural Intelligence Antecedents  aIndiac201510aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/hierarchy-cultural-intelligence-antecedents-000434nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005300041210005100094260003200145653001200177653001700189100001800206856008800224       2015                        eng d00aA Hierarchy of Cultural Intelligence Antecedents0 aHierarchy of Cultural Intelligence Antecedents  aVancouver, BC, Canadac201510aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/hierarchy-cultural-intelligence-antecedents00383nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003600041210003600077260002500113653001200138653001700150100001800167856007600185       2015                        eng d00aMeasuring Cultural Intelligence0 aMeasuring Cultural Intelligence  aAbu Dhabi, UAEc201510aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/measuring-cultural-intelligence00410nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005200041210004800093260002100141653001200162653001700174100001800191856007900209       2015                        eng d00aThe Role of Informal Capital in Growth in China0 aRole of Informal Capital in Growth in China  aDubai, UAEc201510aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/role-informal-capital-growth-china01313nas a2200181   4500008004100000245005400041210005400095260000900149490000600158520076400164653001200928653001700940100001800957700001700975700003000992710001801022856009101040       2014                        eng d00aExecutive Compensation and Agency Issues in Italy0 aExecutive Compensation and Agency Issues in Italy  c20140 v53 aFrom a theoretical perspective, we posit that that dividend policies may be relevant in resolving agency issues even in a governance environment dominated by family controlled firms. Earlier research has found that in more market based systems such as the US and Canada, dividends are in fact instrumental in solving agency issues. Prior empirical research has also found that dividends have a role in mitigating agency conflicts in a bank-dominated corporate environments like that in Germany (Elston and Goldberg, 2003).

Using data from Germany's Neuer Markt (NM), we test two key hypotheses regarding IPO underpricing; first, whether VC ownership and higher levels of post-IPO insider ownership result in lower underpricing, and second, whether additional information disclosure results in lower underpricing. Besides the standard underpricing measure, we also use a modified underpricing measure to better assess true entrepreneurial wealth loss. Robust findings indicate that none of these factors are significant in lowering IPO underpricing, which suggests the importance of examining standard theories within alternative institutional environments. Results are consistent with the stylized fact that Germany's NM firms had relatively minimal use of VC financing, which may point to not only a weaker role for venture capitalists in Germany but fewer incentives to reduce information asymmetry arising from outside ownership.<br><br>10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aYang, Jimmy  u/biblio/venture-capital-ownership-structure-accounting-standards-and-ipo-underpricing-evidence-001361nas a2200169   4500008004100000245008200041210006900123260000900192300001200201490000700213520078900220653001201009653001701021100001801038700001701056856011801073       2009                        eng d00aCorporate Governance and Capital Accumulation: Firm Level Evidence from Italy0 aCorporate Governance and Capital Accumulation Firm Level Evidenc  c2009  a634-6610 v563 aThis study investigates the impact of investor protection on firm ownership and investment decisions in a model where investor protection is allowed to vary across firms. Using firm panel data for Italy, we construct firm level variables to capture the degree of investor protection which is specific to the firm and observable by outside shareholders. Empirical evidence indicates that the stronger the investor protections the lower the fraction of equity that is owned by insiders. Results also suggest that higher insider equity ownership is linked to a larger risk premium and higher costs of capital for the firm. Finally, our findings indicate that the magnitude of capital stock distortions is important when shareholder protection is weak and ownership concentration is high.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aRondi, Laura  u/biblio/corporate-governance-and-capital-accumulation-firm-level-evidence-italy-000439nas a2200121   4500008004100000245005600041210005400097260002300151653001200174653001700186100001800203856009600221       2009                        eng d00aDividends, Executive Compensation, and Agency Costs0 aDividends Executive Compensation and Agency Costs  aMilan, Italyc200910aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividends-executive-compensation-and-agency-costs-200556nas a2200121   4500008004100000245012700041210006900168260001800237653001200255653001700267100001800284856013200302       2009                        eng d00aFinancing the Entrepreneurial Decision:  An Empirical Approach Using Experimental Data on US High Technology Entrepreneurs0 aFinancing the Entrepreneurial Decision An Empirical Approach Usi  aGermanyc200910aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-entrepreneurial-decision-empirical-approach-using-experimental-data-us-high-300474nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006500041210006400106260003400170653001200204653001700216100001800233856010100251       2008                        eng d00aDividends and Agency Issues: Empirical Evidence From Germany0 aDividends and Agency Issues Empirical Evidence From Germany  aSt. John's Newfoundlandc200810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividends-and-agency-issues-empirical-evidence-germany-000474nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006500041210006400106260003400170653001200204653001700216100001800233856010100251       2008                        eng d00aDividends and Agency Issues: Empirical Evidence From Germany0 aDividends and Agency Issues Empirical Evidence From Germany  aSt. John's Newfoundlandc200810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividends-and-agency-issues-empirical-evidence-germany-100368nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003100041210003100072260002300103653001200126653001700138100001800155856007300173       2008                        eng d00aFinancing Entrepreneurship0 aFinancing Entrepreneurship  aJena Germanyc200810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-entrepreneurship-200583nas a2200133   4500008004100000245012300041210006900164260002000233653001200253653001700265100001600282700001800298856013300316       2008                        eng d00aThe impact of accounting standards and ownership structure on IPO underpricing: evidence from Germany’s Neuer Market0 aimpact of accounting standards and ownership structure on IPO un  aLas Vegasc200810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aYang, Jimmy1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/impact-accounting-standards-and-ownership-structure-ipo-underpricing-evidence-germanys-100584nas a2200133   4500008004100000245012000041210006900161260002400230653001200254653001700266100001600283700001800299856013300317       2008                        eng d00aThe Impact of Accounting Standards and Ownership Structure on IPO Underpricing: Evidence from Germany's Neuer Markt0 aImpact of Accounting Standards and Ownership Structure on IPO Un  aLas Vegas, NVc200810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aYang, Jimmy1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/impact-accounting-standards-and-ownership-structure-ipo-underpricing-evidence-germanys-000382nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003600041210003600077260002600113653001200139653001700151100001800168856007400186       2007                        eng d00aCharacterizing the Entrepreneur0 aCharacterizing the Entrepreneur  aRiverwalk Hotelc200710aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/characterizing-entrepreneur-000373nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003100041210003100072260002800103653001200131653001700143100001800160856007300178       2007                        eng d00aFinancing Entrepreneurship0 aFinancing Entrepreneurship  aTegernsee Germanyc200710aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-entrepreneurship-300368nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003100041210003100072260002300103653001200126653001700138100001800155856007300173       2007                        eng d00aFinancing Entrepreneurship0 aFinancing Entrepreneurship  aOSU Cascadesc200710aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-entrepreneurship-401371nas a2200169   4500008004100000245009100041210006900132260000900201300001200210490000700222520078800229653001201017653001701029100001801046700001701064856012001081       2007                        eng d00aShareholder Protection and the Cost of Capital: Evidence from German and Italian Firms0 aShareholder Protection and the Cost of Capital Evidence from Ger  c2007  a153-1720 v183 aWe investigate the interaction of investor protection, ownership concentration and firms’ financing and investment decisions in a model where investor protection is allowed to vary across firms.

To examine whether the Neuer Markt was successful, we compare the relationship between firm size and growth for firms listed on the Neuer Markt and contrast the results with two benchmarks: (1) for German firms prior to the 1990s (to reflect the older traditional manufacturing sector) and (2) for the stylized results for the US. This study provides evidence that not only did many new firms obtain funding from the Neuer Markt; but that for the first time in recent history, Germany succeeded in enabling smaller firms to grow faster than larger firms. This suggests that the new policies were not only successful in promoting a new type of firm that otherwise might not exist, but in transforming the sources of growth and innovation within the German economy.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aAudretsch, David, B.1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/can-institutional-change-impact-high-technology-firm-growth-evidence-germanys-neuer-markt-001243nas a2200169   4500008004100000245008000041210006900121260000900190300001000199490000700209520067200216653001200888653001700900100002500917700001800942856011300960       2006                        eng d00aFinance, Control and Profitability:  An Evaluation of German Bank Influence0 aFinance Control and Profitability An Evaluation of German Bank I  c2006  a69-880 v593 aBank intermediated finance has been cited frequently as the preferred means for channeling funds from savers to firms. Germany is the prototypical economy where powerful universal banks allegedly exert substantial influence over firms. Despite frequent assertions about the advantages of a bank relation, empirical support is mixed. With a unique dataset and a focus on the fragility/sturdiness of inferences, this paper evaluates German bank influence in terms of three hypotheses: (1) do bank influenced firms enjoy lower finance costs? (No); (2) is bank influence a solution to control problems? (Yes); (3) do bank influenced firms have higher profitability? (No).10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aChirinko, Robert, S.1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/finance-control-and-profitability-evaluation-german-bank-influence-200365nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003000041210003000071260002300101653001200124653001700136100001800153856007200171       2006                        eng d00aFinancing Entrpreneurship0 aFinancing Entrpreneurship  aJena Germanyc200610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-entrpreneurship-000449nas a2200145   4500008004100000245005000041210004900091260000900140300001000149490000600159653001200165653001700177100001800194856009100212       2004                        eng d00aBank Influence, Firm Performance and Survival0 aBank Influence Firm Performance and Survival  c2004  a65-710 v110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/bank-influence-firm-performance-and-survival-000462nas a2200121   4500008004100000245006200041210006100103260002600164653001200190653001700202100001800219856010300237       2004                        eng d00aDividend Policy, Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership0 aDividend Policy Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership  aBerlin, Germanyc200410aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividend-policy-agency-costs-and-institutional-ownership-000534nas a2200121   4500008004100000245010200041210006900143260002300212653001200235653001700247100001800264856013000282       2004                        eng d00aShareholder Protection and the Cost of Capital:  Empirical Evidence from German and Italian Firms0 aShareholder Protection and the Cost of Capital Empirical Evidenc  aJena Germanyc200410aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/shareholder-protection-and-cost-capital-empirical-evidence-german-and-italian-firms-000548nas a2200121   4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260002900213653001200242653001700254100001800271856013700289       2004                        eng d00aValuation Differences under 3 Accounting Standards:  Empirical Evidence from Germany's Neuer Markt0 aValuation Differences under 3 Accounting Standards Empirical Evi  aFrankfurt, Germanyc200410aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/valuation-differences-under-3-accounting-standards-empirical-evidence-germanys-neuer-markt-100543nas a2200121   4500008004100000245010300041210006900144260002400213653001200237653001700249100001800266856013700284       2004                        eng d00aValuation Differences under 3 Accounting Standards:  Empirical Evidence from Germany's Neuer Markt0 aValuation Differences under 3 Accounting Standards Empirical Evi  aJena, Germanyc200410aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/valuation-differences-under-3-accounting-standards-empirical-evidence-germanys-neuer-markt-200482nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007300041210006900114260001900183653001200202653001700214100001800231856011100249       2003                        eng d00aDividend Policy, Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership in Germany0 aDividend Policy Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership in Germ  aTampa FLc200310aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividend-policy-agency-costs-and-institutional-ownership-germany-300472nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007300041210006900114260000900183653001200192653001700204100001800221856011100239       2003                        eng d00aDividend Policy, Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership in Germany0 aDividend Policy Agency Costs and Institutional Ownership in Germ  c200310aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividend-policy-agency-costs-and-institutional-ownership-germany-200984nas a2200169   4500008004100000245005500041210005500096260000900151300001400160490000700174520047200181653001200653653001700665100001800682700002000700856009400720       2003                        eng d00aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs in Germany0 aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs in Germany  c2003  a1391-14100 v273 aWith the growth of international mergers like DaimlerChrysler, interest in executive compensation practices abroad, particularly in Germany, has increased.

A robust finding is that cash flow and profits terms appear to be both statistically and quantitatively more significant in the United Kingdom than in the three continental European countries. This is consistent with the suggestion that financial constraints on investment may be relatively severe in the more market-oriented U.K. financial system.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aBond, Stephen1

financial systems in Germany and Japan are often credited for reducing agency costs and increasing access to capital, thus improving the performance of firms. Critics of these banking systems cite the alternative possibility that conflicts of interests may also arise from both the banks' multiple roles with the firm, and the opportunity the banks have to use private information to shift risk or to otherwise participate in rent-seeking activities. We extend the empirical literature by systematically investigating the impact of bank-influence on the financing choices and performance of the firm. We find that bank-influenced firms in Germany do benefit from increased access to capital. There is, however, no evidence to support the hypothesis of either higher profitability or growth for bank-influenced firms. Results suggest that the interest payments to debt ratio is significantly higher for bank-influenced firms, which supports the hypothesis that German universal banks may engage in rent-seeking activities and provides evidence of a conflicting interests between creditors and shareholders.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aAgarwal, Rajshree1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/bank-firm-relationships-financing-and-firm-performance-germany01309nas a2200169   4500008004100000245011400041210006900155260000900224300000900233490000700242520068700249653001200936653001700948100002500965700001800990856013101008       2001                        eng d00aDoes firm size matter?

Findings also support the hypothesis that the emerging competition and internationalism which characterized the German financial markets in the 1980s, have been improving access to capital for some groups of firms.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aAudretsch, David, B.1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/does-firm-size-matter-evidence-impact-liquidity-constraints-firm-investment-behavior-000471nas a2200133   4500008004100000245005500041210005500096260002500151653001200176653001700188100001800205700002000223856009400243       2001                        eng d00aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs in Germany0 aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs in Germany  aDublin Irelandc200110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aGoldberg, Larry  u/biblio/executive-compensation-and-agency-costs-germany-300369nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003200041210003200073260002400105653001200129653001700141100001800158856007100176       2001                        eng d00aGrowth of Neuer Markt Firms0 aGrowth of Neuer Markt Firms  aWashington DCc200110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/growth-neuer-markt-firms-000416nas a2200121   4500008004100000245004900041210004300090260002900133653001200162653001700174100001800191856008500209       2001                        eng d00aThe Neuer Markt: Real and Financial Factors,0 aNeuer Markt Real and Financial Factors  aFrankfurt, Germanyc200110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/neuer-markt-real-and-financial-factors-000381nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003700041210003600078260002400114653001200138653001700150100001800167856007400185       2001                        eng d00aWhat's New About the New Economy0 aWhats New About the New Economy  aWashington DCc200110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/whats-new-about-new-economy-200407nas a2200121   4500008004100000245004400041210004400085260002300129653001200152653001700164100001800181856008600199       1999                        eng d00aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs0 aExecutive Compensation and Agency Costs  aSan Diego CAc199910aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/executive-compensation-and-agency-costs-000387nas a2200121   4500008004100000245003700041210003700078260002700115653001200142653001700154100001800171856007600189       1999                        eng d00aFunding Gaps in Germany Industry0 aFunding Gaps in Germany Industry  aWarwick, Englandc199910aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/funding-gaps-germany-industry-001235nas a2200181   4500008004100000245008700041210006900128260000900197300001200206490000700218520063100225653001200856653001700868100001800885710001800903710001800921856011400939       1999                        eng d00aMarket Linkages Between the US and Japan: An Application to the Fisheries Industry0 aMarket Linkages Between the US and Japan An Application to the F  c1999  a517-5300 v113 aRecent trends in globalization of Pacific Basin commodity markets raises important questions concerning the nature of market integration and price linkages. This paper examines this issue by testing for price linkages between the United States and Japan for two species whose exports from the U.S. to Japan have risen considerably over the past decade. Empirical results indicate segmentation of price linkages for sablefish but probable price linkages for some thornyhead markets. Findings suggest that markets for these species may be less sensitive to price changes in Japan than would be expected based on commodity flows.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aEmptyAuthNode1 aEmptyAuthNode  u/biblio/market-linkages-between-us-and-japan-application-fisheries-industry-001429nas a2200169   4500008004100000245003700041210003700078260000900115300001100124490000600135520097500141653001201116653001701128100002101145700001801166856007501184       1997                        eng d00aFinancing the German Mittelstand0 aFinancing the German Mittelstand  c1997  a97-1100 v93 aThis paper describes how the German Mittelstand, or small- and medium-sized enterprises, are financed in Germany. The role of the German Mittelstand, both in a static and in a dynamic framework, is described and contrasted with that of the same size group in other leading industrialised countries. We find that in general, the Mittelstand has played a mmore important role in Germany than in other industrialised nations, such as the United States or the United Kingdom. The traditional success of the German Mittelstand is partly attributable to a system of finance that is richly layered by complementary institutions designed to meet the financial needs of both large and smaller enterprises. However, we find evidence that even under the German system of finance liquidity constraints exist and are greater for smaller firms. The German system of finance moreover seems particularly deficient in the channeling of funds to new firm startups in the newer industries.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aAudretsch, David1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/financing-german-mittelstand-001197nas a2200157   4500008004100000245007500041210006900116260000900185300001200194490000700206520066800213653001200881653001700893100001800910856011100928       1996                        eng d00aDividend policy and investment: Theory and evidence from US panel data0 aDividend policy and investment Theory and evidence from US panel  c1996  a267-2750 v173 aThis paper examines the importance of dividend policy and liquidity constraints in the context of the firm's investment behaviour. While early financial literature has argued that dividend policy should be independent of firm investment decisions, recent studies indicate that linkages are probable in a world of imperfect capital markets. This study develops an alternative Q specification which incorporates the actual dividend payment of the firm in order to test the hypothesis of independence. Empirical results suggest that after controlling for the firm's dividend payment, liquidity constraints remain an important determinant of firm investment behavior.10aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/dividend-policy-and-investment-theory-and-evidence-us-panel-data-000493nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007900041210006900120260002200189653001200211653001700223100001800240856011300258       1996                        eng d00aFinance, Control and Profitability: An Evaluation of German Bank Influence0 aFinance Control and Profitability An Evaluation of German Bank I  aPasadena CAc199610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/finance-control-and-profitability-evaluation-german-bank-influence-300498nas a2200121   4500008004100000245007900041210006900120260002700189653001200216653001700228100001800245856011300263       1996                        eng d00aFinance, Control and Profitability: An Evaluation of German Bank Influence0 aFinance Control and Profitability An Evaluation of German Bank I  aSan Francisco CAc199610aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/finance-control-and-profitability-evaluation-german-bank-influence-400477nas a2200157   4500008004100000245004700041210004700088260000900135300001200144490000600156653001200162653001700174100002100191700001800212856008900230       1996                        eng d00aLe Financement de la Mittelstand Allemande0 aLe Financement de la Mittelstand Allemande  c1996  a121-1470 v810aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aAudretsch, David1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/le-financement-de-la-mittelstand-allemande-000480nas a2200145   4500008004100000245006200041210006000103260000900163300001200172490000600184653001200190653001700202100001800219856009700237       1995                        eng d00aBanks, Finance and Investment in German: A Review Article0 aBanks Finance and Investment in German A Review Article  c1995  a475-4790 v710aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie  u/biblio/banks-finance-and-investment-german-review-article-000510nas a2200157   4500008004100000245006100041210006100102260000900163300000900172490000600181653001200187653001700199100001800216700001800234856010000252       1994                        eng d00aBank Affiliations and Firm Capital Investment in Germany0 aBank Affiliations and Firm Capital Investment in Germany  c1994  a1-150 v110aFinance10aOSU-Cascades1 aElston, Julie1 aAlbach, Horst  u/biblio/bank-affiliations-and-firm-capital-investment-germany-000551nas a2200121   4500008004100000245011500041210006900156260002500225653001200250653001700262100001800279856013200297       1994                        eng d00aDoes Firm Size Matter?
