Indeed, some evidence in this study indicates that stock market development has a m...

This paper estimates the standard and tax-adjusted market risk premiums in New Zealand using historical data between 1931-2002 and a variant of the Siegel (1992) methodology. Similar to Siegel we present evidence that real bond yields in New Zealand were low over the period 1931-2002 and this may bias upwards an Ibbotsontype estimate of the market risk premium. Using an estimate for the histori...

After distinguishing several ways in which the notion of the moral roots of citizenship and citizenship education can be understood, this paper focuses on the question ‘Is there some underlying attitude that citizens should have towards their fellow citizens?’. It argues for respect, rather than love or care, as being the appropriate attitude, in part on the grounds that the emphasis on respect...

This paper examines the relation between the Seasoned Equity Offering (SEO) announcement effect and earnings timeliness. I predict that firms with greater earnings timeliness tend to have less information asymmetry between managers and investors, thus decreasing the magnitude of the price drop at the SEO announcement. As anticipated, I find that SEO negative announcement effect varies inversely...
