71 Family reunification in child welfare practice: A pilot study of parent and staff experiences
دوباره به هم پیوستن خانواده در اقدام به ایجاد رفاه برای بچه:یک مطالعه آزمایشی روی تجربیات والدین و کارکنان-2018
Current knowledge about the types of child welfare interventions that best promote family reunification has increased over the years. However, evidence remains fairly limited regarding the process of implementing these programs and the experiences of families participating in these services. This study addresses these gaps by examining how a child welfare agency implemented an innovative pilot initiative designed to promote timely family reunification. This research study explored a program that included three core components: Family to Family program model, reduced worker caseloads, and caseworker continuity. The study aimed to answer three research questions: (1) how was the program envisioned, created and implemented, (2) what were staff members experiences implementing the program, and (3) what were parents experiences receiving services from this program? Findings indicated that the implementation of pilot program was consistent with the original program design. Both staff and parents perceived the program to be valuable and effective. Participants highlighted how the programs unique structure helped families reunify, especially by fostering trusting relationships between caseworkers and parents, and close collaboration between the child welfare agency and the local community. Results from the study offer recommendations regarding alternative approaches to achieving family reunification or permanency for children. Implications for child welfare practice, policy and research are provided.

72 A better last-minute hotel deal via app? Cross-channel price disparities between HotelTonight and OTAs
یک رزرو هتل دقیقه آخری بهتر از طریق برنامه های کاربردی: ناهمخوانی های بین کانالی بین قیمت هرشب هتل و OTA ها-2018
To better understand hotels cross-channel pricing mechanisms, this study aims to investigate various factors behind price discounts (as a type of price disparity) from a popular last-minute hotel deal app, HotelTonight, compared to major online travel agency (OTA) websites. Using pricing data collected from the HotelTonight app and OTA websites in six U.S. cities, we estimate several regression models to examine price discounts. The results reveal that after controlling for other variables, price discounts are largely shaped by online reputation metrics (i.e., relative review valence and volume on TripAdvisor compared to on HotelTonight), complimentary access to services with high marginal variable costs, and uncertainty in the room type offered. However, hotels’ market power does not explain price discounts. Lastly, implications are discussed.

73 The Resilience to Emergencies and Disasters Index: Applying big data to benchmark and validate neighborhood resilience capacity
رفع اشکال در موارد اضطراری و فاجعه: استفاده از داده های بزرگ برای سنجش و اعتبار قابلیت ظرفیت انعطاف پذیری-2018
Resilience planning and emergency management require policymakers and agency leaders to make difficult decisions regarding which at-risk populations should be given priority in the allocation of limited resources. Our work focuses on benchmarking neighborhood resilience by developing a unified, multi-factor index of local and regional resilience capacity: the Resilience to Emergencies and Disasters Index (REDI). The strength of the REDI methodology is the integration of measures of physical, natural, and social systems – operationalized through the collection and analysis of large-scale, heterogeneous, and high resolution urban data – to classify and rank the relative resilience capacity embedded in localized urban systems. Feature selection methodologies are discussed to justify the selection of included indicator variables. Hurricane Sandy is used to validate the REDI scores by measuring the recovery periods for neighborhoods directly impacted by the storm. Using over 12,000,000 re cords for New York City’s 311 service request system, we develop a proxy for neighborhood activity, both pre and post-event. Hurricane Sandy had a significant and immediate impact on neighborhoods classified as least resilient based on the calculated REDI scores, while the most resilient neighborhoods were shown to better withstand disruption to normal activity patterns and more quickly recover to pre-event functional capacity.

74 Agency problems in firms with an even number of directors: Evidence from China
مشکلات عامل در شرکتهایی با یک تعداد مدیران زوج: شواهدی از چین-2018
To avoid a tie in voting, most boards have an odd number of directors. We argue that boards with an even number of directors are more likely to be weak monitors because of inefficient decision making and being captured by controlling shareholders. Consistent with this argument, we find that in China boards with an even number of directors have fewer meetings and are more likely to have board members absent from board meetings. Firms with an even number of directors have more tunnelling through intercorporate loans and related party transactions, lower financial reporting quality and higher incidence of accounting irregularities. This evidence is stronger in firms with weaker external monitoring and for directors with weaker incentives to monitor. Finally, we show that firms with an even number of directors are associated with lower market valuation of equity. Our results suggest that corporate boards with an even number of directors in emerging markets are associated with more agency problems.

75 Skill or effort? Institutional ownership and managerial efficiency
مهارت یا تلاش؟ مالکیت سازمانی و کارآمدی مدیریتی-2018
Using a sample of U.S. firms during the 1989–2015 period, we study whether the efficiency with which managers generate revenue is sensitive to monitoring by institutional shareholders. We find that institutional ownership is positively related to managerial efficiency. Our identification relies on a discontinuity in ownership around the Russell 1000/2000 Index threshold and suggests that the positive effect of institutional ownership on managerial efficiency is causal. Furthermore, we document that monitoring by institutions helps improve managerial efficiency, and that an exogenous increase in institutional ownership leads to higher pay-for-performance sensitivity. Finally, we find consistent results after excluding from our sample forced CEO turnovers, suggesting that institutional shareholders force incumbent managers to exert greater effort rather than influence the replacement of less efficient CEOs. Taken together, our findings highlight the important role played by institutional shareholders in getting the most out of corporate executives.

76 Information system precision and honesty in managerial reporting: A re-examination of information asymmetry effects
دقت و صداقت سیستم اطلاعات در گزارش دهی مدیریتی: یک باز - آزمایش تاثیرات عدم تقارن اطلاعات-2018
Hannan, Rankin, and Towry (2006, HRT hereafter) propose that an information system is capable of affecting honesty in the managers budget report by reducing information asymmetry between the manager and the owner regarding the level of honesty in the budget. They find that going from no information system to a coarse information system increases honesty in managerial reporting. However, they also report evidence that going from a coarse information system to a precise information system decreases honesty in managerial reporting. We extend HRTs study in two ways. First, we extend their behavioral theory by incorporating the possibility that reducing information asymmetry could increase the managers preference for honesty in the budget (Koford & Penno, 1992; Bicchieri, 2006). Second, we note that HRT held information system accuracy constant at a relatively low level, which is another source of information asymmetry. Thus, we test the robustness of HRTs negative precision result by manipulating information system precision and accuracy at two levels using a computerized version of their manual experiment. We find that information system precision increases honesty in managerial reporting and that this positive precision effect is weaker under low information system accuracy. A supplemental analysis suggests that our data are generally similar to HRTs data in our two low accuracy conditions and that their negative precision result is attributable to an unusual period effect in their coarse information system condition.

78 Corporate social responsibility and CEO compensation structure
مسئولیت پذیری اجتماعی شرکتی و ساختار پرداخت غرامت CEO-2018
We examine how firms corporate social responsibility (CSR) performance affects CEO compensation structure. Traditional agency theory suggests that CEOs engage in CSR for their own interests at the expense of shareholders. A competing argument is that CEOs consider firms social performance as a business strategy to increase firm value and align their interests with those of shareholders. Our results support the latter prediction. We find that a firms social performance is negatively associated with the proportion of cash-based compensation, while it is positively associated with the proportion of equity-based compensation. These results are robust to the degree of corporate governance, and they are more pronounced for firms with high levels of inside director ownership and long director tenure. Overall, our findings highlight the positive impact of CSR performance on CEO compensation packages, implying that CEOs fiduciary behavior of engaging in CSR leads to mitigating agency problems and maximizing firm value.

80 The impact of share pledging regulations on stock trading and firm valuation
تاثیر مقررات ضمانت های مشترک روی تجارت سهامی و ارزش گذاری شرکت-2018
Previous research suggests that insiders’ shareholding pledges are associated with agency problems. However, the ways investors evaluate and react to such behaviors are less clear. By investigating stock market reactions to three regulatory changes related to share pledging in Taiwan, this study shows that firms whose directors make share pledges experience significantly higher stock returns around these events, compared with those without such directors. Institutional investors increase their shareholdings of pledging (i.e., less compliant) firms after the passage of the 2011 amendment to the Company Act, indicating that reduced agency problems increase institutions’ willingness to hold shares of less compliant firms. The results for stock trading and firm valuation also are more significant for firms with controlling shareholders, which are more likely to be expropriated. These results are consistent with the alignment hypothesis, in which firms that are less compliant with the rules benefit more from legislative changes. They also offer important implications, by showing how adjusting legal regulations can help improve investor protections.
