This paper aims to fill a gap by proposing a structure/agency approach likely to address the micro-, mesoand macrolevel factors that account for cross-border phenomena. The first section compares the main structure/agency approaches (Bourdieu’s...

This paper studies the optimal contracting problem in a general cashow setup, and offers a framework to quantitatively assess the impact of agency problems. A closed form solution is obtained in the square-root mean-reverting cash ow process. In the geometric Brownian cashow setup, we embed the agency problem into Leland (1994), and nd that the debt-overhang problem lowers the optimal leverage....

It argues that although issues of structure and agency are seen as crucial in social theory, they are very little discussed in research into TLA in higher education and that a consideration of structure and agency raises some important questions about this ...

Emphasis on structure implies a dominant role for technology but often a reduced ro...
