Title
RATIONAL EXPECTATIONS AND INFORMATION THEORY.
Creator
Atallo, Robert Alan, Florida Atlantic University, Hanage, Neela, College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
This thesis examines the relationship between the rational expectations flexible-price macroeconomic model and the pure theory of information originally developed within the electronic communications disciplines. The thesis first develops the rational expectations macromodel, including discussions of the model's assumptions, robustness, econometric issues, and important empirical results. The pure theory of information is then developed, and the "polar cases" of full information and complete...
Show moreThis thesis examines the relationship between the rational expectations flexible-price macroeconomic model and the pure theory of information originally developed within the electronic communications disciplines. The thesis first develops the rational expectations macromodel, including discussions of the model's assumptions, robustness, econometric issues, and important empirical results. The pure theory of information is then developed, and the "polar cases" of full information and complete information deprivation are examined. Finally, a generalized model of information acquisition and "transmission noise" are developed within the rational expectations framework.

Imprinting Effects of Founding Conditions, Structure, and Capabilities on Social and Financial Organizational Outcome Satisfaction
Title
Imprinting Effects of Founding Conditions, Structure, and Capabilities on Social and Financial Organizational Outcome Satisfaction.
Creator
Lortie, Jason, Castrogiovanni, Gary J., Florida Atlantic University, College of Business, Department of Management
Abstract/Description
My work investigates the effects of founding conditions for organizational founders on the eventual satisfaction founders have with the financial and social outcomes of their organization. First, I introduce two new constructs, social salience and economic salience, which represent the intended social or economic goals of the founder for their organization when they found the new organization. I then utilize organizational imprinting theory to argue that the social and economic salience,...
Show moreMy work investigates the effects of founding conditions for organizational founders on the eventual satisfaction founders have with the financial and social outcomes of their organization. First, I introduce two new constructs, social salience and economic salience, which represent the intended social or economic goals of the founder for their organization when they found the new organization. I then utilize organizational imprinting theory to argue that the social and economic salience, along with founders’ previous work experience, influence the structure of the new organization via the legal form. I then argue that the legal form influences the specific capabilities that the organization will acquire or create early in the organization’s life. Finally, I argue that the capabilities established at founding will influence the eventual satisfaction founders currently have with their organizations’ social and financial outcomes as the capabilities endure over time. Based on a sample of 150 organizational founders that are still actively managing their organizations, my results support the idea that founding conditions for individual founders influence the capabilities that their organizations create or acquire. Further, founders’ current level of satisfaction with the financial and social performance of their organizations is significantly related to these capabilities. These results largely support the process based model of imprinting effects on organizational outcomes, and suggest that founders play a critical role in setting the original imprint of an organization that will endure via organizational inertia, perhaps long after the imprint’s originally designed purpose.
