In this paper, we introduce a new measure of personal ethics in the form of marital cheating to examine the relationship between personal ethics and corporate misconduct. Firms with CEOs and CFOs who use a marital infidelity website are more than twice as likely to engage in two forms of corporate misconduct. The relationship is not explained by a wide range of regional, firm, and executive cha...

A distinction between forms of social identity formation in small interactive groups is investigated. In groups in which a common identity is available or given, norms for individual behavior may be deduced from group properties (deductive identity). In groups in which interpersonal relations are central, a group identity may also be induced from individual group members' contributions, making ...

In this paper, we describe a novel user interface for the visual defin ition of temporal abstractions based on a set of intuitive metaphors, which re present both temporal features and logical relations of abstractions.

The growth of wildlife and environmental crime has catalysed efforts to strengthen state policing better exert control over activities, flows, people that threaten states’ desired socio-ecological orders. expanded role in human-environment relations provokes conceptual empirical imperatives centre political ecology geography scholarship on state-environment relations. This article begins with t...

We apply multiresolution techniques to study the eeective properties of boundary value problems. Conditions under which boundary values are preserved in the eeective (\homogenized") formulation are developed and discussed. Relations between the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the generic formulation and those of the eeective formulation are explored. Applications to the construction of eeecti...

We discuss a new approach to nonequilibrium statistical thermodynamics based on mappings of the microscopic dynamics into the macroscopic dynamics. Near stationary solutions, this mapping results in a compact formula for the macroscopic vector field without a hypothesis of a separation of time scales. Relations of this formula to short-memory approximation, the Green-Kubo formula, and expressio...
