In this paper we explore some possible consequences of fallibility in managerial decisionmaking for Þrm performance. Based on Sah and Stiglitz (1991), we develop the hypothesis that if managers are fallible, Þrm performance will be more variable as the number of managers participating in decision-making decreases, i.e. as the Þrm becomes more centralized. We use characteristics of the Executive...

We demonstrate that in a CAPM economy Walras Law and the Tobin Separation Property characterize market demand on nite sets of prices. Consequently, for any number n there exist CAPM economies which have at least n equilibria and hence have n di erent beta pricing formulas. It is shown that the lower bound on the number of equilibria, n, is robust to pertubations of endowments.

The asymmetric unit of a second polymorph of the title compound, C(9)H(4)F(6)O(2), contains five independent mol-ecules, which form hydrogen-bonded O-H⋯O dimers about inversion centers. The most significant structural difference between this structure and that of the first polymorph [Tobin & Masuda (2009 ▶). Acta Cryst. E65, o1217] is the hydrogen-bonded, dimeric orientation of the carb-oxy-lic...

Richard Tobin HCRC Language Technology Group 2 Buccleuch Place Edinburgh, Scotland EH8 9LW ABSTRACT This paper describes a standards-based approach to the task of comparing two implements of the W3C XML Schema language: no special-purpose software is required, nor any common API for accessing the results of schema validity assessment. A combination of XSLT transformations and appeal to an XML m...
