Recipient firms but also comparable peer exhibit a sizeable negative capital market reaction to United Kingdom's regulatory enforcement actions. This result is invariant the identification of as belonging same industry classification or having propensity scores attract sanction. Indiscriminate contagion, however, ruled out. As per expectation, actions which pierce ‘corporate veil’, that is, tar...

Intramuscular (IM) electrodes have been used safely and effectively for decades to activate paralyzed muscles in neuroprosthetic systems employing functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, the response to stimulation delivered by these and any type of electrode can be limited by a phenomenon known as spillover, in which the stimulus intended to produce a contraction in a particular musc...

The impacts of product-harm crises on other firms in the same category are complex considering the combined spillover and customer encroachment effects. With responding to both effects, non-focal companies may adjust their social media strategies to attenuate the negative influence from product-harm crises and to exploit the benefit from their competitor’s misfortune. Using daily social media a...

It has been argued by economists that foreign direct investment (FDI) can promote economic growth in recipients countries, via the capital accumulation effect and the technology spillover effect. However due to the endogeneity of FDI, previous empirical literature on FDI has not convincingly established the causal effects from FDI to economic growth, in particular the technology spillover. This...

Considering empathy as a specific dimension of emotional social support, we hypothesized that receiving empathy would buffer negative spillover to the job incu...

Our results indicate that the spillover and feedback effects are complex and are determined by several factors including the level of information asymmetry regarding the restructuring firm, its direct bankruptcy cost, bankruptcy’s effect o...
