This paper examines the demand for directors' and officers' liability insurance (D&O insurance) by Chinese listed companies where controlling-minority shareholder incentive conflicts are acute due to the concentrated and split ownership structure. We hypothesize and find evidence that the...

This study investigates the relationship between task conflict and innovation in small business. It also investigates the interactive effects of an entrepreneur's goal orientation and participative leadership style on the relationship between task conflict and innovation in small business....

In this article, we consider the problem of the minimal entropy martingale measure of a jump process influenced by jump times. The minimal entropy martingale measure of the price process is given out by the exponential martingale method, and the expression of the corresponding relative entropy...

A new class of tests of extreme-value dependence for bivariate copulas is proposed. It is based on the process comparing the empirical copula with a natural nonparametric rank-based estimator of the unknown copula under extreme-value dependence. A multiplier technique is used to compute...

This paper describes the core features of the R package geepack, which implements the generalized estimating equations (GEE) approach for fitting marginal generalized linear models to clustered data. Clustered data arise in many applications such as longitudinal data and repeated measures. The...
