We examine the determinants of cross-sectional differences in insider ownership, debt, and
dividend policies. These policies are related not only directly, but also indirectly, through …

We examine the evidence that expected security returns can be forecasted by the term premium,
default premium, and dividend yield, in light of recent findings that similar security return …

It is well-known that financial markets respond quickly to announcements of changes in the
discount rate. We extend previous research and ask whether rate changes provide …

We provide evidence on the role of commodity futures in portfolios comprised of stocks,
bonds, T‐bills, and real estate. Over the period investigated (1973–1997), Markowitz …

The following construction of Riemannian metrics on principal fibre bundles is well known.(See
B. O'Neill [7] and A. Gray [1].) Let M be a manifold with Riemannian metric ds2, and π: P—…

… Jensen, Mercer and Johnson argue that their evidence is consistent with the claim that …
We examine the importance of the monetary environment as defined by Jensen, Mercer and …

IEEE Standard 1344, Synchrophasors for Power Systems, was completed in 1995. It sets
parameters required to ensure that phasor measurement will be made and communicated in a …

The purpose of this analysis is to present new evidence on the benefits of tactically allocating
commodity futures to otherwise diversified portfolios. The study contributes in three …

Given a manifold M with a Riemannian metric gu, Riemannian curvature tensor Rijkl, and
Ricci tensor Rtj= Σ Rkikj, then M is defined to be an

… Therefore, the x for t GR is an isoparametric family of hypersurfaces in S2l~l and x is a focal
submanifold. This is the Ferus-Karcher-M?nzner construction, (FKM construction) [13], of an …
