A popular theory of markets is that they are efficient: all available information is deemed to provide an accurate valuation of an asset at any time. In this paper, we consider how the content of market-related news articles contributes to such information. Specifically, we mine news articles...

The retention of qualified Chinese employees is an increasing concern for managers inChina today. Various studies have highlighted the rise of turnover rates, and many havesuggested how human resource practices can help promote retention. However, littleresearch has compared employee tenure or...

Using novel survey data, we examine the relationship between returnee entrepreneurs, multinational enterprise (MNE) working experience and firms' innovation performance in high-tech SMEs in China. We adopt an integrated framework which combines the knowledge based view and social capital theory...

This paper investigates the impact of returnee entrepreneurs and their knowledge spillovers on innovation in high-tech firms in China. Using panel data for 1,318 high-tech firms in Beijing Zhongguancun Science Park (ZSP) we find that returnee entrepreneurs create a significant spillover effect...

We propose two tests for the equality of covariance matrices between two high-dimensional populations. One test is on the whole variance-covariance matrices, and the other is on offdiagonal sub-matrices which define the covariance between two non-overlapping segments of the high-dimensional...

We study two tests for the equality of two population mean vectors under high dimensionality and column-wise dependence by thresholding. They are designed for better power performance when the mean vectors of two populations differ only in sparsely populated coordinates. The first test is...
