Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

revealed a significant main effect for school motivation, F(3.20, 14000) = 895.27, p < .0001. Newman-Keuls post hoc analyses revealed that the seven motivational subscales were significantly different from one another. The most important forms of motivation for participants in this sample were
Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,
- Journal of Finance
, 2007
"... Abstract Many financial markets are characterized by strong relationships and networks, rather than arm's-length, spot-market transactions. We examine the performance consequences of this organizational choice in the context of relationships established when VCs syndicate portfolio company inv ..."

. 15 F. The Macro Structure of VC Networks Low density can suggest high centralization. A simple way to measure the overall centralization of a network (as opposed to the centrality of individual actors) is to express the network-wide variation in the actors' degree, betweenness, and eigenvector

An Infinite Set of Ward Identities for Adiabatic Modes in Cosmology
"... We show that the correlation functions of any single-field cosmological model with constant growing-modes are constrained by an infinite number of novel consistency relations, which relate N + 1-point correlation functions with a soft-momentum scalar or tensor mode to a symmetry transformation on N- ..."

constrain — completely for n = 0, 1, and partially for n ≥ 2 — the qn behavior of the soft limits. The identities at n = 0 recover Maldacena’s original consistency relations for a soft scalar and tensor mode, n = 1 gives the recently-discovered conformal consistency relations, and the identities for n ≥ 2

Dumb money: Mutual fund flows and the cross section of stock returns,
- Journal of Financial Economics,
, 2008
"... We thank Nicholas Barberis and Judith Chevalier for helpful comments. We thank Breno Schmidt for research assistance. ABSTRACT We use mutual fund flows as a measure for individual investor sentiment for different stocks, and find that high sentiment predicts low future returns. Fund flows are dumb ..."

sentiment affects stock prices, and specifically whether one can predict future stock returns using a flow-based measure of sentiment. If sentiment pushes stock prices above fundamental value, high sentiment stocks should have low future returns. For example, in 1999 investors sent $36 billion to Janus

RICE UNIVERSITY Regime Change: Sampling Rate vs. Bit-Depth in Compressive Sensing
, 2011
"... The compressive sensing (CS) framework aims to ease the burden on analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) by exploiting inherent structure in natural and man-made signals. It has been demon-strated that structured signals can be acquired with just a small number of linear measurements, on the order of t ..."
