The additional uncertainty due to choosing a population, a research design and an analysis path in empirical research introduce an additional layer of uncertainty that conservatively interpreted involves doubling reported standard errors and confidence intervals in published research. Anna Dreber Almenberg and Magnus Johannesson, Professors at the Department of Economics at SSE, and co-authors publish a new article in PNAS.

The exact same results could only be computationally reproduced 52% of the time based on the researchers’ code for more than 1,000 tests of six research questions in empirical finance. Anna Dreber Almenberg and Magnus Johannesson, Professors at the Department of Economics at SSE, and co-authors publish a new article in the Review of Financial Studies.

A recent study reveals that boards of social hybrid organizations encounter significant challenges in implementing social impact measurements. Published in The British Accounting Review, this research sheds light on the difficulties these boards face and offers insights into improving governance practices.

This newly published paper, written by Matthias Hänsel, a PhD student at SSE, proposes a Hybrid Perturbation method to accurately solve Search-and-Matching models. An application to the Hagedorn and Manovskii (2008) model demonstrates its effectiveness in capturing non-linear model dynamics.

This paper, written by Professor Richard Friberg and co-authors, investigates how firms adjust their financial strategies in response to changes in exposure to non-fundamental price movements, known as stock price fragility. Through theoretical modeling and empirical analysis, we explore the implications of stock price fragility on corporate cash holdings, investment decisions, and liquidity management.

A new study, recently published in the Journal of Management, reveals the remarkable ability of family firms to not just survive but thrive through multiple adversities. By focusing on a century-old family business in the UK, researchers develop the concept of "organizational fortitude," a new lens to understand resilience in businesses facing recurrent challenges.

A meta-analysis of field audits of gender gaps in application outcomes between 1976 and 2020 found that the discrimination of women for male-typed and balanced jobs decreased over time. Anna Dreber Almenberg and Magnus Johannesson, Professors at the Department of Economics at SSE, and co-authors publish a new article in Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes.

New research examines link between the prior corporate bankruptcy experiences of directors and CEOs and the financial risk of their current firms.

As the world becomes increasingly digital, the elderly often find themselves left behind, struggling to navigate the complexities of digital health platforms.
