- Smoking or not smoking? A logit model analysis.
- Creator
- Clarke, Mark Wayne., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang
- Abstract/Description

Since the beginning of President Clinton's administration, the cigarette industry has been under a lot of pressure to change the way they do business, how they advertise. This study was not intended to be for or against the issue of smoking but to see which variable affects smoking after the consumer makes the adult decision to smoke. Three different econometric analyses were used to come up with these results; Logit, OLS and Linear Probability Model. The findings indicate that variables like...
Show moreSince the beginning of President Clinton's administration, the cigarette industry has been under a lot of pressure to change the way they do business, how they advertise. This study was not intended to be for or against the issue of smoking but to see which variable affects smoking after the consumer makes the adult decision to smoke. Three different econometric analyses were used to come up with these results; Logit, OLS and Linear Probability Model. The findings indicate that variables like income, pack per week smoked, age, years smoking and gender are significant in determining if an adult consumer continues to smoke. In addition, age, race, and years smoking are good indicators of whether a smoker is or is not price conscious. Years smoking, age, and education of a smoker's mother also have an effect on how much cigarettes an adult smoker consumes.

- THE USE OF IMAGE BY TRADE AND PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATIONS, AND ITS EFFECT ON MEMBERSHIP RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION.
- Creator
- SHAW, JOHN SCRANTON, II., Florida Atlantic University, Hersker, Barry J.
- Abstract/Description
-
Every trade or professional association projects an image, which has some proportionate ratio of status orientation (slickness or professionalism) and service orientation (basic technical and service programs). Similarly, members or potential members seek specific values in that association, values seen as desirable. The effective match of the image projected by the association and the values sought (or, image perceived as desirable) by members and potential members will correspond to the...
Show moreEvery trade or professional association projects an image, which has some proportionate ratio of status orientation (slickness or professionalism) and service orientation (basic technical and service programs). Similarly, members or potential members seek specific values in that association, values seen as desirable. The effective match of the image projected by the association and the values sought (or, image perceived as desirable) by members and potential members will correspond to the relative success of the association in its membership recruitment and retention. This is studied by formulating the above as a hypothesis and testing it through correlation analysis. Data was generated by a survey of chief staff executives of 500 trade and professional associations.

Show moreThis thesis was prepared as a descriptive study of a series of meetings of a selected professional association to determine the potential utility and transferability of sociometric diagnostic techniques to voluntary organizations. Methods employed in investigating this concept and its corollaries include: use of a modified Bales interaction Analysis Process chart and diagnostic review of full sound recordings of proceedings. The principle subject investigated was the phenomenon of decision reversal in the board of trustees. An analysis of the results of this investigation indicates that further study of the problem could yield a diagnostic tool of broad potential for use in the small decision making group.

Method and Sources: Two levels of students, secondary and post secondary, were divided into equal-sized control and experimental groups. The control groups followed the traditional method; the experimental groups were instructed by specially prepared audio instructional tapes with a correlated program folder of examples, exercises, and evaluations . All groups were given an achievement test evaluating speed and accuracy in addition and efficiency in applicable business problems. Findings: Experimental groups achieved higher mean scores. At the .05 level of significance, there was a significant difference in achievement in favor of the experimental group at the high school level. Students liked the audio method. There was indication that both student and teacher productivity increased.

- A VALUES STUDY OF VOLUNTARY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTORS AND NON-CONTRIBUTORS TO AN INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP ASSOCIATION.
- Creator
- MATTHEWS, GERALD WILLIAM., Florida Atlantic University, Sanford, Donald G.
- Abstract/Description
-
This study attempts to explain the motivation for a voluntary financial gift through the analysis of individual value systems. Contributors and non-contributors to a fraternal association are compared by value rankings. Certain socioeconomic information was also collected and compared. It is anticipated that the study will be a base of information for more detailed study into the complex field of motivation to contribute financially to not-for-profit organizations.

- Translog and Cobb-Douglas analysis of tourist demand in Florida.
- Creator
- Collins, Donald Lawrence., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang
- Abstract/Description
-
The purpose of this study is to determine what factors could influence an economic agents' decision to travel or vacation in Florida. This study measures this decision by analyzing the state Division of Tourism estimates for visitors in light of changes in; national gross domestic product, non-aviation gasoline prices, average airfares, and exchange rates. This data was compiled on a quarterly basis form 1980 to 1993 and analyzed by employing Translog and Cobb-Douglas demand functional forms...

This study measures this decision by analyzing the state Division of Tourism estimates for visitors in light of changes in; national gross domestic product, non-aviation gasoline prices, average airfares, and exchange rates. This data was compiled on a quarterly basis form 1980 to 1993 and analyzed by employing Translog and Cobb-Douglas demand functional forms for use in regression analysis. Based upon the regression results, the Cobb-Douglas functional form best represents what has historically occurred in the real economic world and follows generally accepted micro-economic demand theory. The Cobb-Douglas techniques reveal that an economic agents' future income expectations, measured by GDP levels, has a significant influence on Florida visitor estimates and has a role in the decision to vacation in Florida.

- Does Venture Capital Backing Improve Disclosure Controls and Procedures? Evidence from Management’s Post‑IPO Disclosures.
- Creator
- Douglas Cumming, Lars Helge Hass, Linda A. Myers, Monika Tarsalewska
- Abstract/Description
-
Firm managers make ethical decisions regarding the form and quality of disclosure. Disclosure can have long-term implications for performance, earnings manipulation, and even fraud. We investigate the impact of venture capital (VC) backing on the quality and informativeness of disclosure controls and procedures for newly public companies. We find that these controls and procedures are stronger, as evidenced by fewer material weaknesses in internal control under Section 302 of the Sarbanes...
Show moreFirm managers make ethical decisions regarding the form and quality of disclosure. Disclosure can have long-term implications for performance, earnings manipulation, and even fraud. We investigate the impact of venture capital (VC) backing on the quality and informativeness of disclosure controls and procedures for newly public companies. We find that these controls and procedures are stronger, as evidenced by fewer material weaknesses in internal control under Section 302 of the Sarbanes–Oxley Act, when companies are VC-backed. Moreover, these disclosures are informative and are more likely to be followed by subsequent financial statement restatements than are disclosures made by non-VC-backed IPO companies.

- Creator
- Danaher, Mary Schindlbeck, Florida Atlantic University, Coulter, Neal S., Harold, Frederick G., Munson, John C.
- Abstract/Description
-
Through a small contained environment, this study evaluates an information-based complexity metric theory and its relationship to the effort expended in constructing a program. The metric, which calculates the amount of information present in a program specification, determines the specification's complexity measure. The observed measures of programmer effort were the numbers of keystrokes, insertions, deletions, and runs needed to complete the program specification. It was theorized that a...

The metric, which calculates the amount of information present in a program specification, determines the specification's complexity measure. The observed measures of programmer effort were the numbers of keystrokes, insertions, deletions, and runs needed to complete the program specification. It was theorized that a program with a higher complexity value than that of another program will require more programmer resources to complete. A significant relationship between the metric and the number of keystrokes was found.
