TL;DR: In this article, a vector autoregression (VAR) model is developed for time series at mixed frequencies, and the model is cast in state-space form and estimated with Bayesian methods under a Minnesota-style prior.
Abstract: This article develops a vector autoregression (VAR) for time series which are observed at mixed frequencies—quarterly and monthly. The model is cast in state-space form and estimated with Bayesian methods under a Minnesota-style prior. We show how to evaluate the marginal data density to implement a data-driven hyperparameter selection. Using a real-time dataset, we evaluate forecasts from the mixed-frequency VAR and compare them to standard quarterly frequency VAR and to forecasts from MIDAS regressions. We document the extent to which information that becomes available within the quarter improves the forecasts in real time. This article has online supplementary materials.

TL;DR: The authors explored how the strength and structure of an individual's social network both directly influences organizational identification as well as moderates the relation between social identity or categorical antecedents and organizational identification.
Abstract: Summary Although organizational identification is founded on social identity and symbolic interactionist theories, current theories emphasize a social identity whereby organizational members categorize themselves and others based on roles and membership in an organization or work unit. In contrast symbolic interactionism, which resides in interpersonal relationships, is rarely theorized or empirically assessed in studies of organizational identification. We use survey data collected at an academic institution to explore how the strength and structure of an individual’s social network both directly influences organizational identification as well as moderates the relation between social identity, or categorical, antecedents and organizational identification. Our results show that the size of an individual’s network as well as the interaction between relationship strength and prestige better explain organizational identification than do antecedents based solely on categorization and social comparison processes. Thus networks of relationships, which have been a foundational but much neglected premise and process for organizational identification, are brought back into a theory of organizational identification.

TL;DR: In this article, a.k.a. A.A. rappelle l'etendue du champ de cette recherche et defend la fiabilite des indices developpes par Kinder, Lydenberg et Domini (KLD) comme reference en la matiere.
Abstract: En reponse aux critiques methodologiques formulees par Jon Entine a l'encontre de la recherche sur l'investissement socialement responsable, l'A. rappelle l'etendue du champ de cette recherche et defend la fiabilite des indices developpes par Kinder, Lydenberg et Domini (KLD) comme reference en la matiere. Elle repond ensuite aux critiques d'ordre conceptuel (performance, ideologie) et, rappelant la complexite des parametres en jeu, elle souligne les progres que cette recherche doit encore accomplir

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between CEO external networks and CEO compensation and found that the rewards to CEO external directorate networks are contingent upon the firm's level of diversification.
Abstract: This study examines the relationship between CEO external directorate networks and CEO compensation. Drawing on previous research showing a link between executives' external networks, firm strategy, and performance, the study argues that executive external networks are strategically valuable to firms; thus, they should be reflected in executive compensation. The study further examines whether firm diversification, with its elevated demand for strategic resources, moderates the relationship between CEO external directorate networks and pay. Hypotheses are tested using a sample of 460 Fortune 1000 firms. Analyses reveal that the rewards to CEO external directorate networks are contingent upon the firm's level of diversification. Implications for future research and practice are discussed. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
