Motorization and increased levels of car ownership have partly contributed to traffic congestion and air pollution, which is a prime concern in the era of climate change. Therefore, vehicle ownership-related topics have been extensively explored by transportation scholars, economists, and planning researchers. However, relatively fewer scientists have investigated the spatial patterns and socio...

The authors explore the relation between ownership form and distribution system and test the determinants of each element of organizational structure. Controlling for ownership form as an exogenous variable, the authors find that independent agency insurers are likely to be associated with stock ownership, are characterized by higher liabilities relative to surplus, and are more likely to speci...

Undoubtedly, the mental health of the society is effective in the progress and development of the country and an important part of this mental health is due to the trust and confidence of economic activists in their investment. Considering that the realm of important investments is land and immovable property, and if the ownership of these lands is shaky, the whole property and economy system w...

We examine the impact of firm ownership composition on both the abnormal returns at the announcement of a stock split and liquidity changes following a stock split. We find three results. First, the largest post-split increase in institutional ownership occurs for firms that had low institutional ownership prior to the split. Second, changes in liquidity are negatively related to the level of i...

Demsetz and Lehn (1985), Morck, Shleifer, and Vishny (1988), and McConnell and Servaes (1990) report different empirical findings regarding ownership structure and corporate profitability. In this paper, we re-estimate the relation between management ownership and firm's value after controlling for the history of management ownership as well as inter-firm differences using panel data. Further, ...

We show the equivalence of deterministic auxiliary push-down automata to owner write PRAMs in a fairly large setting by proving that DAuxPDA-TISP ? f O(1) ; log g and CROW-TIPR ? log f ; g O(1) coincide. Such, we provide the rst circuit characterizations of depth O(log f) for deterministic sequential automata which are f time-bounded.

Psychological ownership is one of the fundamental notions in marketing and consumer behavior. This idea has increasingly attracted researchers’ attention over past decade due to proliferation digital goods sharing economy, both which are challenging conventional understanding “ownership” products. In this special issue, we shed light on psychological toward various products, such as cash, onlin...
