The Importance of Call Delays and Cash Flow Positions in Evaluating the Information Content of Convertible Preferred Stock Calls

Closed-form expression for the momentum radiated from cosmic string loops.

We modify the recent analytic formula given by Allen and Casper [1] for the rate at which piecewise linear cosmic string loops lose energy to gravitational radiation to yield the analogous analytic formula for the rate at which loops radiate momentum. The resulting formula (which is exact when the effects of gravitational back-reaction are neglected) is a sum of O(N4) polynomial and log terms w...

Interpreting Risk Premia Across Size, Value, and Industry Portfolios

In this paper, we model cash flow and consumption growth rates as a vectorautoregression (VAR), from which we measure the response of cash flow growth to consumption shocks. As the appropriate cash flow proxy is not unambiguous, nor likely to be measured without error, we consider three alternatives for portfolio cash flows: cash dividends, dividends plus repurchases and corporate earnings. We ...

Avoiding the hidden costs of computer conversions.

T most important aspect of computerization is “planning.” It is as important to plan for the actual transfer of data from a manual billing system to computer (computer conversion) as it is to plan for the purchase of a computer system for your business. With careful planning, both expected costs and unforseen costs of converting to the computer system won’t punch a giant hole in your checkbook....
