Executive Compensation, Corporate Tax Aggressiveness and Financial Reporting Aggressiveness: Evidence from SFAS 123R
(2017-05-08)Using a variety of research methods, prior empirical research finds that executive compensation influences the behavior of managers, particularly with decisions involving risk. These studies show that, when executive ... -
Exergame Use As A Gateway To The Adoption Of And Adherence To Sport-specific And General Physical Activity
Despite increasing the amount of information regarding the need for regular physical activity, rates of inactivity have not seen a corresponding decrease. The aim of the current study was to determine whether exergame use ... -
Exergy Analysis of a Pulse Detonation Engine Linear Power Generator
(2016-05-11)The fuel efficiency of a power generator is a key metric for evaluating its performance. The common engineering practice is to determine the thermal efficiency of the system by applying the conservation of energy also known ... -
Existence of Exact Zero Divisors and Totally Reflexive Modules in Artinian Rings
(2017-05-10)In this dissertation, we consider commutative local Artinian rings (A, m, k), which are rings that satisfy the descending chain condition on ideals. First, we investigate the existence of exact zero divisors in Artinian ... -
Exit Exam Requirements And High School Graduation: A Texas Perspective
