The abdominal viscera are surrounded by the Wharton jelly, peritoneum and amnion and contained in a translucent sac. The sac protrudes in the midline, through the umbilicus.

Any compensation mechanism that is intended to reward superior investment performance can be gamed by managers who have no superior information or predictive ability; moreover they can capture a sizable amount of the fees intended for the superior managers. We derive precise bounds on the size of this coat‐tail effect and show that it remains substantial even when payments are postponed, bonuse...

Substantial research attention has been devoted to the pension accumulation process, whereby employees and those advising them work to accumulate funds for retirement. Until recently, less analysis has been devoted to the pension decumulation process – the process by which retirees finance their consumption during retirement. This gap has recently begun to be filled by an active group of resear...

Contrary to what risk-shifting theory predicts, I nd that rms reduce investment risk both when leverage increases and when they approach distress. In rm-level panel regressions I nd that rms reduce the riskiness of capital expenditures by 21.6% when leve...
