Dynamic traffic assignment (DTA) has been a topic of substantial research during the past decade. While DTA is gradually maturing, many aspects of DTA still need improvements, especially regarding its formulation and solution capabilities under the transportation environment impacted by the...

The transportation system has changed how it operates due to COVID-19. As the risks of the pandemic decrease and travel restrictions (e.g., staying at or working from home) are lifted, most people are ready to travel and return to onsite work.

We investigate the association between chief executive officers’ (CEOs’) marital status and their tendency to profit from insider trading. We argue that marriage can constrain CEOs’ opportunistic behaviour, which could increase litigation risk, and show that married CEOs earn lower insider...

This paper describes the importance of plant quarantine to the food safety in China through cases where plant quarantine helps to effectively intercept harmful organisms for food safety and promote export and import trading. It also presents the existing problems in plant quarantine work and...

This paper suggests factoring both dynamic indifference band (DIB) and marginal decision rule into boundedly rational day-to-day traffic dynamics modeling. To this purpose, a relative indifference band based DIB is employed to capture the variation of indifference band against dynamical network...

Exploiting the staggered establishment of public data open platforms (PDOPs) across different cities of China, we study whether and how improved public data availability affects firms’ stock price crash risk (SPCR). We find that the establishment of PDOPs significantly decrease local firms’...

We examine the interaction between market volatility, liquidity shocks, and stock returns in 41 countries over the period 1990–2015. We find liquidity is an important channel through which market volatility affects stock returns in international markets and we show this is distinct from the...

We show, using data for 57 countries over the 1990–2015 period, that investors' risk perceptions are an important determinant of international stock market liquidity. Increased risk perception reduces liquidity around the world, and its impact is not subsumed by other well-documented...
