It is well known that members of families of polynomials, that are orthogonal with respect to an inner product determined by a nonnegative measure on the real axis, satisfy a three-term recursion relation. Analogous recursion formulas are available for orthogonal Laurent polynomials with a pole at the origin. This paper investigates recursion relations for orthogonal rational functions with arb...

I investigate the relation between returns and volatility at daily to 1-min intervals for VIX ETNs (like ETFs) and futures. As VIX is the implied volatility index and also known as “fear gauge”, this study is on relation between returns of volatility and volatilities of volatility. I find that, contrary to equity and commodity markets, volatility’s return and volatility exhibit positive relatio...

aim and background: discovering factors associated with mental health of the elderly is an interesting subject in the psychology of aging. this study investigated the relationships of spiritual well-being, existential well-being, and hardiness with mental health in the elderly. methods and materials: this descriptive-correlational research was conducted on the elderly living in the nursing home...

Temple (2002) empirically challenges Romer’s (1993) negative opennessinflation relation on empirical grounds. This article links economic openness to the slopes of aggregate supply (AS) and aggregate demand (AD) to explain why the openness-inflation relation can be ambiguous. Starting with a widely used assumption initiated by Romer (1993) that more open economies face greater output inflation ...

The experience of work in an entrepreneurial context is saturated with emotional experiences. While the literature on the relation between affect and entrepreneurial performance (EP) is growing, there was no quantitative integration of the results so far. This study addresses this gap and meta-analytically integrates the results from 17 studies (N = 3810) in order to estimate the effect size fo...

We argue that mutual fund investors are more sensitive to salient in-your-face fees, like loads and commissions, than operating expenses. Our empirical analysis of mutual fund flows over the last 30 years yields strong support for our contention. We find consistently negative relations between fund flows and load fees. We also document a negative relation between fund flows and commissions char...

Two adult samples were surveyed to investigate the relation between individuals' levels of self-monitoring and age. A negative relation was predicted as older individuals were seen as most likely to exhibit the low self-monitoring tendency of behaving in accordance with one's own attitudes and feelings, whereas younger individuals appeared most likely to exhibit the high self-monitoring tendenc...

This paper provides evidence that the positive relation between firm-level stock returns and firm-level return volatility is due to real options that firms possess. Consistent with the theoretical prediction that the value of a real option should be increasing in the volatility of the underlying asset, we find that the positive volatility-return relation is much stronger for firms that are more...
