Show moreThis thesis reviews the majot' literature associated with the Capital Asset Pricing Model with emphasis on related controversial issues. The model's underlying theories, developed by Harry Markowitz and James Tobin, are presented first. This is followed by themathematicalderivation, developed by William Sharpe. Special attention is given to the controversial assumptions imposea by Markowitz and Tobin, which emerge in the CAPM. Major tests of the CAPM are reviewed next: and the empirical problems associated with test design are highlighted. It is shown that variations in test design produce controversial test results. The specific tests reviewed here fail to provide strong support for the nodel; nevertheless it becomes evident that such tests fostered a vast outpouring of new and extended models. The CAPM remains a breakthrough in financial and economic literature which deserves to be explored even more intensely in the future.

- Human capital and endogenous growth.
- Creator
- Stewart, John Richard., Florida Atlantic University, Yuhn, Ky-hyang
- Abstract/Description
-
Using both exogenous and endogenous theory, this paper develops a synthesized model treating human capital as an endogenous contributor to long run economic growth. Human capital is assumed to be the basis of such growth, therefore, the focus is not on technological change per se. Through empirical analysis, human capital is measured by knowledge, and that the accumulation of knowledge, or specialization, is determined through an incentive system. The incentive system, in turn, is determined...
Show moreUsing both exogenous and endogenous theory, this paper develops a synthesized model treating human capital as an endogenous contributor to long run economic growth. Human capital is assumed to be the basis of such growth, therefore, the focus is not on technological change per se. Through empirical analysis, human capital is measured by knowledge, and that the accumulation of knowledge, or specialization, is determined through an incentive system. The incentive system, in turn, is determined by the difference in wages paid to certain types of knowledge, those being a general level and a specialized level of knowledge. It is assumed that the learning process can take place at any time, therefore, the specialization process is not limited to an academic environment. A spillover effect associated with specialized knowledge provides for increasing returns to scale in the model, which is also supported by empirical data.

Show moreUsing longitudinal data from Growing America Through Entrepreneurship (GATE), I examine whether mentors improve nascent entrepreneurs’ new venture survival and growth. To perform the analysis, I develop a multi-level regression model with mentoring as the key independent variable and human capital as the moderator. The findings provide empirical evidence that having a mentor helps nascent entrepreneurs grow and improve their businesses’ chances of survival. Furthermore, mentorship helps new venture growth and survival for some entrepreneurs more than others. For survival, mentorship is more helpful for those without business education. For new venture growth, I find that mentorship helps those with no prior managerial experience. These results highlight the importance of mentoring for nascent entrepreneurs and the boundary conditions through which mentoring is most beneficial.

- Investor Connections and Non-GAAP Reporting.
- Creator
- Harwood, Chad, Kohlbeck, Mark, Florida Atlantic University, College of Business, School of Accounting
- Abstract/Description
-
I investigate whether a firm’s social capital with investors impacts its non-GAAP reporting decisions. Critics of non-GAAP reporting suggest that non-GAAP earnings are incomplete, inaccurate, and can be misleading (Derby, 2001; Dreman, 2001; Elstein, 2001; Black et al., 2007). Firms might be hesitant to provide non-GAAP information if other means are available to transfer information. Social capital provides an alternate method of informing investors.

Show moreI investigate whether a firm’s social capital with investors impacts its non-GAAP reporting decisions. Critics of non-GAAP reporting suggest that non-GAAP earnings are incomplete, inaccurate, and can be misleading (Derby, 2001; Dreman, 2001; Elstein, 2001; Black et al., 2007). Firms might be hesitant to provide non-GAAP information if other means are available to transfer information. Social capital provides an alternate method of informing investors. However, social capital might also play another role in the information environment by building trust between managers and investors (Gabarro, 1978; Gulati, 1995). This trust may reduce investor skepticism of non-GAAP information, enhancing the value of non-GAAP disclosures. Additionally, I examine what impact social capital might have on investors’ investment decisions with respect to non-GAAP reporting. Despite critics’ concerns over non-GAAP reporting, prior literature suggests investors’ reactions are more aligned with the non-GAAP definition of earnings (Bradshaw and Sloan, 2002; Bhattacharya et al., 2003), suggesting other factors might influence investors’ decisions. I investigate whether social capital plays a role in reducing skepticism in non-GAAP information leading to reduced information asymmetry and increased investor reaction to non-GAAP disclosures. I find that non-GAAP reporting is increasing in social capital with investors. However, I find no evidence that investor reactions to non-GAAP earnings information differ based on firms’ social capital with investors. I also find information asymmetry around earnings announcements is higher for non-GAAP reporting firms with greater social capital with investors in comparison to non-GAAP reporters with lower social capital. Taken together, my results suggest social capital impacts the decisions of firms in reporting non-GAAP earnings information, but not the decisions of investors. My results are relevant to the current disclosure environment in that non-GAAP reporting is a current topic of interest for regulators with several updates to non-GAAP guidance having recently occurred.

- THE EFFECT OF COMMUNITY SOCIAL CAPITAL ON NON-PROFITS’ GOVERNANCE AND DISCLOSURE QUALITY.
- Creator
- Subedi, Meena, Farazmand, Ali, Florida Atlantic University, School of Public Administration, Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters
- Abstract/Description

Social capital is critical to the entities' disciplinary environment and the ability to produce high quality financial reports. Although prior literature on for-profit setting indicates that social capital impacts both governance (Ferris, et al., 2017) and financial reporting quality (Jha & Chen, 2015; Jha, 2019), this area has received less attention in non-profit literature.

Show moreSocial capital is critical to the entities' disciplinary environment and the ability to produce high quality financial reports. Although prior literature on for-profit setting indicates that social capital impacts both governance (Ferris, et al., 2017) and financial reporting quality (Jha & Chen, 2015; Jha, 2019), this area has received less attention in non-profit literature. The purpose of this dissertation is to examine the impact of the social capital of a non-profit organization's (NPO) headquarter area (also known as community social capital) on the NPO governance and disclosure quality (i.e., the quality of Form 990). The study hypothesizes and finds that the community social capital of an NPO headquarter area has a positive impact on its governance. The positive relationship suggests that NPO social capital and governance play a complementary role, where managers in high social capital face strong disciplinary environment and enjoy strong social connections and professional reputations and thus have fewer incentives to resist the adoption of sound governance practices. Similarly, the study also hypothesizes and finds that the community social capital of an NPO headquarter area has a positive impact on its disclosure quality. This finding suggests that community social capital disciplines NPO self-interested managers' behavior to manipulate financial numbers in Form 990 disclosures.

- EFFECTS OF GENERAL AND SPECIFIC HUMAN CAPITAL ON NEW VENTURE PERFORMANCE: THE ROLE OF GENDER.
- Creator
- Sherbondy, Sara, Castrogiovanni, Gary J., Florida Atlantic University, Department of Management, College of Business
- Abstract/Description
-
This study tests a model that draws on human capital theory to explain how individual characteristics of founding entrepreneurs influence performance of their new businesses. Using data from Project GATE (Growing America Through Entrepreneurship), this research study assesses the direct effect of gender on new venture performance and the moderating role of gender on the relationship between general and specific human capital and new venture performance.

The modern organization is “a nexus of contracts” among various stakeholders. In this two-essay study, I examine how contracts surrounding entrepreneurial firms, namely contracts with the U.S. government agencies as customers and contracts with venture capital (VC) firms as investors, interact.

Show moreThe modern organization is “a nexus of contracts” among various stakeholders. In this two-essay study, I examine how contracts surrounding entrepreneurial firms, namely contracts with the U.S. government agencies as customers and contracts with venture capital (VC) firms as investors, interact. In the first essay, I examine whether and how the ex-post government contracting activity of portfolio companies affects the performance of VC investments. Prior research establishes the impact of government customers on the contractor's operating performance and information quality. I find that government contracting improves the likelihood of successful exits via initial public offering (IPO) or acquisition and reduces the likelihood of a liquidation. I also find that the suppliers’ bargaining power relative to the government moderates the relationship between government contracting and VC investment exits. The increased suppliers’ bargaining power mitigates the positive relationship between government contracting and the likelihood of IPOs. The impact of government contracting on the likelihood of acquisitions and liquidations is more substantial for suppliers with greater bargaining power. The results are robust for reputable and non-reputable VC firms, alternative model specifications, and adjustments for potential endogeneity.
