establishments within the same firm adopt similar labor-market practices is an open question. This question is particularly relevant for firms with establishments in different locales and industries. For example, a finding that wages within a firm have a common component across unrelated workers and industries

Explaining the Association between Monitoring and Controversial CEO Pay Practices: an Optimal Contracting Perspective
, 2014
"... Puzzling associations between low levels of ownership concentration and CEO pay practices such as pay-for-luck, a low pay-performance sensitivity, a more asymmetric pay-performance relation, and high salaries, have been documented. They have been interpreted as evidence that CEO pay is not set optim ..."

Dividend Paying Practices in the Non-Financial Sector of Pakistan: An Empirical Evidence from Karachi Stock Exchange
"... The study intends to investigate the dividend paying practices in the non-financial sectors of the Karachi Stock Exchange. All the dividend paying sectors of the Karachi Stock Exchange were probed into for the period 2002-2008. A well developed mixture of six variables along with the descriptive sta ..."

The effect of monitoring on CEO pay practices in a matching equilibrium Pierre Chaigneau† HEC Montreal
, 2014
"... We present a model of efficient contracting with endogenous matching and limited monitoring in which firms compete for CEOs. Firms with greater owner-ship concentration have a higher monitoring capacity, and can better handle the downside risk of hiring CEOs with more uncertain ability. The model ex ..."
Abstract
- Add to MetaCart
explains that CEOs in firms with a lower monitoring capacity have higher salaries, more pay-for-luck, and a lower sensitivity of pay to performance, thereby responding to some fundamental arguments of the managerial power perspective. Moreover, improvements in the monitoring capacity of the worst firms
Forecasting the term structure of government bond yields
- Journal of Econometrics
, 2006
"... Despite powerful advances in yield curve modeling in the last twenty years, comparatively little attention has been paid to the key practical problem of forecasting the yield curve. In this paper we do so. We use neither the no-arbitrage approach, which focuses on accurately fitting the cross sectio ..."

Improved Inference for Unlexicalized Parsing
, 2007
"... We present several improvements to unlexicalized parsing with hierarchically state-split PCFGs. First, we present a novel coarse-to-fine method in which a grammar’s own hierarchical projections are used for incremental pruning, including a method for efficiently computing projections of a grammar wi ..."

without a treebank. In our experiments, hierarchical pruning greatly accelerates parsing with no loss in empirical accuracy. Second, we compare various inference procedures for state-split PCFGs from the standpoint of risk minimization, paying particular attention to their practical tradeoffs. Finally, we
Cayenne -- a Language With Dependent Types
- IN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
, 1998
"... Cayenne is a Haskell-like language. The main difference between Haskell and Cayenne is that Cayenne has dependent types, i.e., the result type of a function may depend on the argument value, and types of record components (which can be types or values) may depend on other components. Cayenne also co ..."

suffice. It is also powerful enough to encode predicate logic at the type level, allowing types to be used as specifications of programs. However, this power comes at a cost: type checking of Cayenne is undecidable. While this may appear to be a steep price to pay, it seems to work well in practice.
Planning in Interplanetary Space: Theory and Practice
, 2000
"... On May 17th 1999, NASA activated for the first time an AI-based planner/scheduler running on the flight processor of a spacecraft. This was part of the Remote Agent Experiment (RAX), a demonstration of closedloop planning and execution, and model-based state inference and failure recovery. This ..."

RAX-PS generates plans that are temporally flexible, allowing the execution system to adjust to actual plan execution conditions without breaking the plan. The practical aspect, developing a mission critical application, required paying attention
