Corporate Ownership Around The World

by Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez-de-Silanes, Andrei Shleifer , 1998
"... We present data on ownership structures of large corporations in 27 wealthy economies, making an effort to identify the ultimate controlling shareholders of these firms. We find that, except in economies with very good shareholder protection, relatively few of these firms are widely held, in contras ..."

We present data on ownership structures of large corporations in 27 wealthy economies, making an effort to identify the ultimate controlling shareholders of these firms. We find that, except in economies with very good shareholder protection, relatively few of these firms are widely held

Separation of ownership and control

by Eugene F. Fama, Michael C. Jensen - JOURNAL OF LAW AND ECONOMICS , 1983
"... This paper analyzes the survival of organizations in which decision agents do not bear a major share of the wealth effects of their decisions. This is what the literature on large corporations calls separation of “ownership” and “control.” Such separation of decision and risk bearing functio ..."

because of an effective common approach to controlling the implied agency problems. In particular, the contract structures of all these organizations separate the ratification and monitoring of decisions from the initiation and implementation of the decisions.

Theory of the Firm: Managerial Behavior, Agency Costs and Ownership Structure

by Michael C. Jensen, William H. Meckling , 1976
"... This paper integrates elements from the theory of agency, the theory of property rights and the theory of finance to develop a theory of the ownership structure of the firm. We define the concept of agency costs, show its relationship to the ‘separation and control’ issue, investigate the nature of ..."

The separation of ownership and control in East Asian Corporations

by Stijn Claessens, Simeon Djankov, Larry H. P. Lang - Journal of Financial Economics , 2000
"... We examine the separation of ownership and control for 2,980 corporations in nine East Asian countries. In all countries, voting rights frequently exceed cash-#ow rights via pyramid structures and cross-holdings. The separation of ownership and control is most pronounced among family-controlled &quo ..."

Approximate Riemann Solvers, Parameter Vectors, and Difference Schemes

by P. L. Roe - J. COMP. PHYS , 1981
"... Several numerical schemes for the solution of hyperbolic conservation laws are based on exploiting the information obtained by considering a sequence of Riemann problems. It is argued that in existing schemes much of this information is degraded, and that only certain features of the exact solution ..."

Decision-Theoretic Planning: Structural Assumptions and Computational Leverage

by Craig Boutilier, Thomas Dean, Steve Hanks - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1999
"... Planning under uncertainty is a central problem in the study of automated sequential decision making, and has been addressed by researchers in many different fields, including AI planning, decision analysis, operations research, control theory and economics. While the assumptions and perspectives ..."

Specification Analysis of Affine Term Structure Models

by Qiang Dai, Kenneth J. Singleton - JOURNAL OF FINANCE , 2000
"... This paper explores the structural differences and relative goodness-of-fits of affine term structure models (ATSMs55). Within the family of ATSMs there is a tradeoff between flexibility in modeling the conditional correlations and volatilities of the risk factors. This trade-off is formalized by ou ..."

Bigtable: A distributed storage system for structured data

by Fay Chang, Jeffrey Dean, Sanjay Ghemawat, Wilson C. Hsieh, Deborah A. Wallach, Mike Burrows, Tushar Chandra, Andrew Fikes, Robert E. Gruber - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 7TH CONFERENCE ON USENIX SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION - VOLUME 7 , 2006
"... Bigtable is a distributed storage system for managing structured data that is designed to scale to a very large size: petabytes of data across thousands of commodity servers. Many projects at Google store data in Bigtable, including web indexing, Google Earth, and Google Finance. These applications ..."

Large margin methods for structured and interdependent output variables

by Ioannis Tsochantaridis, Thorsten Joachims, Thomas Hofmann, Yasemin Altun - JOURNAL OF MACHINE LEARNING RESEARCH , 2005
"... Learning general functional dependencies between arbitrary input and output spaces is one of the key challenges in computational intelligence. While recent progress in machine learning has mainly focused on designing flexible and powerful input representations, this paper addresses the complementary ..."
Abstract - Cited by 624 (12 self) - Add to MetaCart
the complementary issue of designing classification algorithms that can deal with more complex outputs, such as trees, sequences, or sets. More generally, we consider problems involving multiple dependent output variables, structured output spaces, and classification problems with class attributes. In order

Structural equation modeling in practice: a review and recommended two-step approach.

by James C Anderson , J L Kellogg , David W Gerbing , Jeanne Brett , Claes Fornell , David Larcker , William Perreault Jr , James Steiger - Psychological Bulletin, , 1988
"... In this article, we provide guidance for substantive researchers on the use of structural equation modeling in practice for theory testing and development. We present a comprehensive, two-step modeling approach that employs a series of nested models and sequential chi-square difference tests. We di ..."
