Home bias revisited * Draft : February 16 , 2009

We examine a large number of potential home bias determinants, including some novel ones, using extensive panel data. We distinguish between the actual home bias (overinvestment in domestic securities) and foreign investment bias, for which we propose a new measure. For foreign investment bias, we also demonstrate how “size biases” significantly affect the results. We find that the old empirica...

By studying animal movements, researchers can gain insight into many of the 20 ecological characteristics and processes important for understanding population-level dynamics. 21 We developed a Brownian bridge movement model (BBMM) for estimating the expected 22 movement path of an animal using discrete location data obtained at relatively short time 23 intervals. The BBMM is based on the proper...

This effort is called the Discovery Initiative. A primary goal of the Discovery Initiative is to promote the discovery of previously hidden relationships in the large amount of pre-cal...
