We conduct the first systematic analysis of the effect of CEO tenure on risk-taking. We document an overall positive impact of CEO tenure on risk-taking. Our results suggest that this positive relation may not be explained by tenure proxying for power, experiences, or human capital investment. Instead, the results are consistent with the hypothesis that the declining career concerns associated ...

How does job security influence productivity? I create a dataset from the bibliographic records of the National Bureau of Economic Research working paper series and from hand collected data from individual curricula vitae to compare productivity of professors before and after tenure. This paper uses a fuzzy regression discontinuity design with fixed effects and finds that the number of papers p...

Since 1949, the information of land tenure has a positive effect on defining the scope of collective land and state-owned land, implementing the system of cultivated land protection and land use control, designing general land use planning, etc. But as the economic and social development, the existing land tenure information is not appropriate anymore and results in many problems. The emphasis ...

Tabu search (TS) algorithms are among the most efficient heuristic techniques in combinatorial optimization. Within these algorithms, it is important that the proper policies for maintaining the tabu tenure (tabu list size) are applied. In this paper, we discuss the mechanisms of defining the tabu tenure for the famous combinatorial optimization problem − the quadratic assignment problem (QAP)....

In many tropical nations, fisheries management requires a community-based approach because small customary marine tenure areas define the spatial scale of management [1]. However, the fate of larvae originating from a community's tenure is unknown, and thus the degree to which a community can expect their management actions to replenish the fisheries within their tenure is unclear [2, 3]. Furth...

OBJECTIVE To describe how smoking correction factors based on comparing worker smoking prevalence with population smoking prevalence are biased if applied to an occupational incidence cohort. METHODS Relative rates of smoking for shorter-tenure workers derived from occupational cohort lung cancer studies were applied to incidence and prevalence population tenure distributions to calculate rel...

CONTEXT State health officials (SHOs) serve a critical role as the leaders of state public health systems. Despite their many responsibilities, there is no formal process for preparation to become an SHO, and few requirements influence the selection of an SHO. Furthermore, to date, no studies have examined SHO tenure or their experiences. OBJECTIVE This study examines SHO tenure over time and...

Tenure-track contract is criticized for curbing the incentives to expend effort after obtaining tenured status. Yet the most productive faculties seem to work on a tenure contract, and schools which aim to employ the best faculty seem to prefer to offer tenure-track contracts to their new recruits. I argue that tenure-track contracts are by construction more attractive to more able freshly mint...
