A Michigan boy who said he didn't want an 11th birthday party because he had no friends is getting a new gig.
Professional hockey player.
Colin and his family were surprised by players, coaches and representatives of the Kalamazoo Wings at a restaurant Tuesday. The team presented the Richland boy with a one-day contract that will allow him to join the Wings for their home game Sunday.
Colin has a condition similar to Asperger's syndrome that makes it difficult to relate to peers. His mother created a "Happy Birthday Colin" Facebook page that drew more than 2 million "likes." He also received thousands of cards.
The family asked that their last name not be used.
Colin tells the Kalamazoo Gazette that the outpouring of affection has "been very heartwarming."

2 songs in 2 days. Elect's on fire. Ha! This is my shit! Link Previously: "The Announcement"
Tag: Jay-Z
Jay Elect: Permission to speak freely, sir? Hov: Go. Go, baby. Let it go! Here's the best footage you'll see of Elect's signing party at The Box on Friday night. "The Announcement" up top and "Dear Moleskine," "Exhibit A," "Exhbit C" and a Roc sign exchange from the stage.
Hov woke up early this morning and returned to the Howard Stern Show to promote his new book, Decoded. Speaking of which, the NY Daily News has an excerpt from the project in today's edition. Here's what went down. michelle
Moments ago, Jay-Z announced at his secret event at The Box in NYC, that Jay Electronica is latest addition to Roc Nation. Congrats! This calls for a celebration. Ace of Spades for everyone! UPDATE: Angela Yee captures Jay Elect performing a new song.

He speaks on his Hits album, Decoded, and future endeavors.
Jay-Z made more radio rounds while in the UK and during his interview with BBC's Natalie Jamieson, he speculates that in 2018, maybe he'd run for U.S. President. "Give me a chance. Maybe in eight years, I'll be the president. In order to judge someone, you have to judge what they inherit In order to get to that sort of success and that dream, you have to go through some peaks and valleys. He [Pres. Obama] inherited the worst economy, […]

Two is not a winner, but in this case, everyone will still remember. On to the next one. "There's nobody in the game that's even coming close to spitting how Jay is doing," MTV News' Shaheem Reid said. "When you talk about Hottest MCs, that's the very foundation … and Jay is just murdering everything in hip-hop right now, lyrically." mtv Previously: Kanye

Business Intelligence (BI) Applications 18.104.22.168.1 is now available on the Oracle Software Delivery Cloud (eDelivery), and on the Oracle
BI Applications OTN page. This

New Prebuilt Connector for BI Applications

Oracle repeats as BI and Analytics Leader in Gartner MQ 2014
By peterschutt on Feb 26, 2014
For the 8th consecutive year, Oracle is a Leader in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Business Intelligence and Analytics Platform. Gartner declares that "the BI and analytics platform market is in the middle of an accelerated transformation from Business Intelligence (BI) systems used primarily for measurement and reporting to those that also support analysis, prediction, forecasting and optimization." Oracle offers all these wide-ranging capabilities across Business Intelligence Foundation Suite, Advanced Analytics and Real-Time Decisions.
Gartner specifically recognizes Oracle as a Leader for several key reasons. Oracle customers reported among the largest BI deployments in terms of users and data sizes. In fact, 69% of Oracle customers stated that Oracle BI is their enterprise BI standard. The broad product suite works with many heterogeneous data sources for large-scale, multi-business-unit and multi-geography deployments. The BI integration with Oracle Applications, and technology, and with Oracle Hyperion EPM simplifies deployment and administration. Not cited in the Gartner report is that Oracle BI can access and query Hadoop via a Hive Oracle Database Connector eliminating the need to write MapReduce programs for more efficient big data analysis.
"The race is on to fill the gap in governed data discovery," professes Gartner. In this year's MQ, all the Leaders have been moved "westward," to the left, to open up white space in the future for vendors who address "governed data discovery" platforms that address both business users' requirements for ease of use and enterprises' IT-driven requirements, like security, data quality, and scalability. Although in Gartner's view no single vendor provides governed data discovery today, Oracle Endeca Information Discovery 3.1, which became available in November 2013 after Gartner conducted the MQ report, is a complete enterprise data discovery platform that combines information of any type, from any source, empowering business user independence in balance with IT governance. Users can mash-up personal data along with IT-provisioned data into easy to use visualizations to explore what matters most to them. IT can manage the platform to meet data quality, scalability and security requirements. Users can benefit from additional subject areas and metadata provided by integration with Oracle BI.
Gartner additionally cites other Oracle strengths such as more than 80 packaged BI Analytic Applications that include pre-built data models, ETL scripts, reports, and dashboards, along with best practice, cross-functional analytics that span dozens of business roles and industries. Lastly, Oracle's large, global network of BI application partners, implementation consultants, and customer install base provide a collaborative environment to grow and innovate with BI and analytics. Gartner also cites the large uptake in Oracle BI Mobile enabling business users to develop and deliver content on the go.

Oracle Business Intelligence Applications: Deliver Value through Rapid Implementations by Will Hutchinson
By Takin Babaei-Oracle on Dec 10, 2013
During the last half of 2012 and the first half of 2013, Simon Miller and I wrote a book on release 7.9.6.x of Oracle BI Applications. In this book we cover how to justify the purchase of BI Applications, what a typical project looks like, the architecture of the product, and overviews of the subject areas. We did not cover 11.1.1.x because it was not shipping when we wrote the book. We do not cover the material covered in the documentation. After all, why would you pay money to read what you can get for free?
Last month, Simon and I participated in a webinar sponsored by KPI Partners. The people at KPI Partners were pleased with the attendance, with over 120 people attending. The webinar talked discussed
- Why people should care about the book
- The Oracle BI Applications architecture
- Setting user expectations
- Building your team
- Using a trusted advisor
- The audience we wrote it for
- What you will learn
I urge you to go to KPI Partners website and listen to the webinar. It will help you understand what our book is about and whether it is appropriate for you. Here's a link.

Guest blog: A Closer Look at Oracle Price Analytics by Will Hutchinson
By Takin Babaei-Oracle on Oct 28, 2013
Overview: Price Analytics helps companies understand how much of each sale goes into discounts, special terms, and allowances. This visibility lets sales management see the panoply of discounts and start seeing whether each discount drives desired behavior. In Price Analytics monitors parts of the quote-to-order process, tracking quotes, including the whole price waterfall and seeing which result in orders. The "price waterfall" shows all discounts between list price and "pocket price". Pocket price is the final price the vendor puts in its pocket after all discounts are taken.
The value proposition: Based on benchmarks from leading consultancies and companies I have talked to, where they have studied the effects of discounting and started enforcing what many of them call "discount discipline", they find they can increase the pocket price by 0.8-3%. Yes, in today's zero or negative inflation environment, one can, through better monitoring of discounts, collect what amounts to a price rise of a few percent. We are not talking about selling more product, merely about collecting a higher pocket price without decreasing quantities sold. Higher prices fall straight to the bottom line.
The best reference I have ever found for understanding this phenomenon comes from an article from the September-October 1992 issue of Harvard Business Review called "Managing Price, Gaining Profit" by Michael Marn and Robert Rosiello of McKinsey & Co. They describe the outsized impact price management has on bottom line performance compared to selling more product or cutting variable or fixed costs. Price Analytics manages what Marn and Rosiello call "transaction pricing", namely the prices of a given transaction, as opposed to what is on the price list or pricing according to the value received. They make the point that if the vendor does not manage the price waterfall, customers will, to the vendor's detriment. It also discusses its findings that in companies it studied, there was no correlation between discount levels and any indication of customer value. I urge you to read this article.
What Price Analytics does: Price analytics looks at quotes the company issues and tracks them until either the quote is accepted or rejected or it expires. There are prebuilt adapters for EBS and Siebel as well as a universal adapter. The target audience includes pricing analysts, product managers, sales managers, and VP's of sales, marketing, finance, and sales operations. It tracks how effective discounts have been, the win rate on quotes, how well pricing policies have been followed, customer and product profitability, and customer performance against commitments.
It has the concept of price waterfall, the deal lifecycle, and price segmentation built into the product. These help product and sales managers understand their pricing and its effectiveness on driving revenue and profit. They also help understand how terms are adhered to during negotiations. They also help people understand what segments exist and how well they are adhered to.
To help your company increase its profits and revenues, I urge you to look at this product. If you have questions, please contact me.

Breakthrough Strategies for HR Success
By Takin Babaei-Oracle on Feb 21, 2013
Aberdeen Group's recent study "The HR Executive's Agenda" shows organizations using workforce analytics experienced a 14% year-over-year improvement in revenue per employee compared to just 5% for those companies that did not. Is your organization using analytics to effectively manage its employees and improve performance? We often hear from organizations that the key drivers for adopting an analytics-based approach to HR include:
- Lack of accurate view of workforce profile
- Measuring the effectiveness of HR
- Aligning talent management with corporate strategies
- Understanding the voice and sentiment of the workforce from topics and themes hidden in unstructured content

TRIPOLI, Libya — Moammar Gadhafi's son al-Saadi is trying to negotiate the terms of his own surrender, the rebel commander in Tripoli told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
The commander, Abdel Hakim Belhaj, said al-Saadi first called him Tuesday and asked whether his safety could be guaranteed. "We told him 'Don't fear for your life. We will guarantee your rights as a human being, and will deal with you humanely,' said Belhaj, confirming a report on Al-Jazeera television. Belhaj added that al-Saadi would be turned over to legal authorities after his surrender.
If the offer is confirmed — the rebels have previously claimed to have captured Gadhafi's son Seif al-Islam, who hours later turned up free — the surrender would be a major blow to Gadhafi's crumbling regime. The rebels have been pressing toward Gadhafi's last major stronghold, his hometown of Sirte, and loyalists now only control a handful of areas, including Bani Walid to the west.
Gadhafi's wife and three of his children fled to Algeria earlier this week, while the longtime dictator and several of his sons are still at large.
Belhaj said Al-Saadi told him he had not killed anyone, and that "he was not against the people."
"I told him 'This is good. What is important for us is not to shed Libyan blood. For the members of the regime to surrender is the best way to do this,'" said Belhaj.
The commander said al-Saadi had called back early Wednesday morning, but that he had missed the call. He said he knows al-Saadi's whereabouts, but prefers to negotiate a surrender. He gave no further details.
Belhaj's comments came hours after Gadhafi's chief spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, called the AP headquarters in NY, reiterating the senior Gadhafi's offer to send al-Saadi to negotiate with the rebels and form a transitional government. The rebels have previously rejected such offers.
Ibrahim also rejected a rebel ultimatum for loyalists in Sirte to surrender by Saturday or face an attack.
There has been speculation that Gadhafi is seeking refuge in Sirte or one of the other remaining regime strongholds, among them the towns of Bani Walid or Sabha. Top rebel officials say they have "a good idea" where Gadhafi is hiding, but haven't given any details.
"No dignified honorable nation would accept an ultimatum from armed gangs," he said. Ibrahim reiterated Gadhafi's offer to send his son al-Saadi to negotiate with rebels and form a transitional government.
The report came as Libyans wept over the graves of those killed in their six-month war against Gadhafi, then celebrated their newfound freedom with morning prayers and joyous chants in the capital's main square — bittersweet rituals marking the start of a major Muslim holiday.

Re: First part was better.
"You can't own or control your own stuff. Which means there is no real functioning market for stuff. The terms of trade are set by others.
The tech oligarchs take the place of the market, set the terms, control the price, etc.
This has been their greatest achievement: persuading people to act against their own economic interests."
Funny how you rail and froth against tech companies for setting the terms of trade and creating a culture where you can't own things, but when it's the established intellectual property monopolies doing it, well holy fuck, that's just the best thing ever.
And, of course, the existing telco monopolies should be allowed to set the terms of trade by restricting access. That's good and fine. But not those tech companies. Damn them. Damn them to hell.

My fuel pump decided to stop working one night. Apparently, the electric pumps work well until they quit (unlike the old mechanical pump that would get weak but rarely completely fail, so you could limp home). Any way, I buy a new Bosch unit, and put it in. From that moment on, the gas mileage has dropped. And curiously, the FASTER I drive, the better mileage I get. As in 85 MPH gets me 17 MPG, but 70 MPH gets me 15, which makes no sense . . . unless the same volume of fuel is being pumped through the system regardless of my driving activity. My in-town mileage is around 11. Is this something anyone has experienced? Any one have any suggestions as to what the problem might be? And yes, I know the ultimate solution is to simply drive 85 MPH all the time, but let's pretend that option isn't practical.

I've been waiting to leave a
I've been waiting to leave a review of this pistol on slickguns. I purchased mine many months ago and was really excited to get it. Took it to the range and shot 4 various brands of ammo. It was unbelievable how bad the gun molested the brass casings when it WOULD decide to eject them. I have NEVER seen anything like it. It also failed to eject every third round or so causing the next round to have the bullet pressed into its own case.
Now with that being said here is what you need to know why the pistol is doing such a thing. First the parts kits they used were from a rifle. Certain pieces should have been swapped out but were not, causing the problems. To date I have purchased the following parts in an effort to get it running smooth:
Locking piece
Ejector lever
Ejector lever spring
Extractor spring
HK 53 recoil spring
New rollers to resize the bolt gap and bring it into spec.
Off the top of my head these parts will cost you at least $200.
You will also want to purchase some magazines that will have to be modified to fit this pistol as well. I went with MKE's which run about $35 each IF you can find them!!!
Another thing, when these pistols were manufactured many actually had the barrel turned down to make it easier to press it into the trunion. That is a big no no. The problem with doing this is the barrel will move and screw up the bolt gap. To get that fixed will probably cost you another $300.
With all of that being said, the last trip I went to the range and had a blast with this gun. I also added a pistol brace. Out of 100 rounds it failed to eject the last two rounds, don't know why, will probably have to send it to an expert for some tweaking.
If you plan to add a pistol brace and get the gun running correctly, assuming it will be DOA when you receive it, you will be looking at around $1,100 and unfortunately you will still own a Century firearm. Expect to keep it for a long time and enjoy it because you will NOT get your money back unless there is an assault rifle ban.
Vector sells one for $1325 with a paddle release and the cocking tube is correctly welded. I do not know about their reliability.
Best of luck, your gonna need it!!

Entrees include fish or chorizo tacos with chipotle mayo ($6 each) and the sonica burger with a Baja blend of cheese, topped with an onion ring ($12). See the menu.
Baja Grill
Palm fronds spill over Baja Grill's two-tiered dining room, lending the 150-seat eatery a lush, tropical aura. Arched porticoes and columns recall Spanish colonial revival architecture, which designers update with pastel pink and green hues and tropical throw pillows. The ambience reinforces the menu, which highlights the Baja fish taco, a creation pioneered by Japanese fishermen in Baja after their idea for the Munich meat muffin failed to catch on. Chefs also craft Baja nachos, yam fries, and pescado burgers topped with chipotle mayo.

- Jun 7, 2013Use s double sided greyhound comb for mats. Coarse on one side and medium on the other. The 6 inch works the best but they are getting harder to find. For mats on back legs and armpits, I use a fine tooth with a handle. They pull out the mats but if they are next to the skin, it will hurt. Best to shave those out yourself. You can get these combs online from a lot of the mail order pet supplies. I got mine at Pet Edge but they only carry the 7 1/2 inch now and the handled one is medium only. Brushes never get out the tough mats.

Unfortunately information in the article "local hero" is inoorrect. The address is 280 Division St., not the one mentioned above. The spa does not offer nail service. The comment that the spa offers hands-on service is very true. The reference to using equipment was only in comparison to spa's that offer types of machinery for workouts. There is no equipment of this type at this location other than necessary items for waxings, facials, etc. It is tuly hands-on. Anyone is welcome to pull up the website, Leslie Marie Body and Skin Care, to gather more information on this site. It is a delightful place to visit and one that you will enjoy.

Kings moving on to life after Martin
Feb 23, 2010, 2:25 PM EDT
The trade deadline brings change for so many teams around the league, and while the difficulties of fitting new players into an established rotation is difficult, it eclipses and obscures the difficulties teams face on the marketing side of things. Commercials, highlight reels, posters, billboards, and a million other examples of team marketing are graced with the visage of the team and the league's biggest stars. When those stars are on the move — as was Sacramento's Kevin Martin — it often puts those on the business side of the front office in a difficult spot.
Now that Martin is no longer the most established star on the Kings and the face of the franchise (though Tyreke Evans was taking a run at both of those honors, anyway), his face has to be wiped from every advertisement, his presence erased from all the video clips. But here's the real problem: the biggest prize the Kings scored in the Martin deal was the largely unknown and unheralded Carl Landry, who isn't going to sell many tickets. Evans is already a star and a favorite, but he's still a rookie and he can't be on every piece of Kings-related media in the greater Sacramento area. So naturally, the Kings would plaster the face of Francisco Garcia, a swingman who has played just three games all season due to injury and actually sat out Sunday due to the infamous DNP-CD, where Kevin Martin's used to be. Makes perfect sense.
In an age where getting under the luxury tax or amassing cap space can be just as valuable to a team as scoring a productive player, this is hardly a unique situation. But the difficulties facing NBA franchises (and franchises of any professional sport, really) as business are more or less undocumented. Other companies have planned specials, or meticulously thought-out campaigns that last an entire year or more before there's any change. NBA teams have those, too. But from day one until the deadline, team marketing and advertising employees have to be ready to change everything on a whim. That kind of volatility is exactly what makes deadline time so fun and exciting, but if you're one of those lucky (or unlucky) few working to market a team? Especially a team that's buried in trade rumors? You'd have to be sweating bullets.

Wedlock: The True Story of the Disastrous Marriage and Remarkable Divorce of Mary Eleanor Bowes, Countess of Strathmore
Three Rivers Press, 2010 - Biography & Autobiography - 386 pages
With the death of her fabulously wealthy coal magnate father when she was just eleven, Mary Eleanor Bowes became the richest heiress in Britain. An ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II, Mary grew to be a highly educated young woman, winning acclaim as a playwright and botanist. Courted by a bevy of eager suitors, at eighteen she married the handsome but aloof ninth Earl of Strathmore in a celebrated, if ultimately troubled, match that forged the Bowes Lyon name. Yet she stumbled headlong into scandal when, following her husband's early death, a charming young army hero flattered his way into the merry widow's bed.
Captain Andrew Robinson Stoney insisted on defending her honor in a duel, and Mary was convinced she had found true love. Judged by doctors to have been mortally wounded in the melee, Stoney persuaded Mary to grant his dying wish; four days later they were married.
Sadly, the "captain" was not what he seemed. Staging a sudden and remarkable recovery, Stoney was revealed as a debt-ridden lieutenant, a fraudster, and a bully. Immediately taking control of Mary's vast fortune, he squandered her wealth and embarked on a campaign of appalling violence and cruelty against his new bride. Finally, fearing for her life, Mary masterminded an audacious escape and challenged social conventions of the day by launching a suit for divorce. The English public was horrified–and enthralled. But Mary's troubles were far from over . . .
Novelist William Makepeace Thackeray was inspired by Stoney's villainy to write The Luck of Barry Lyndon, which Stanley Kubrick turned into an Oscar-winning film. Based on exhaustive archival research, Wedlock is a thrilling and cinematic true story, ripped from the headlines of eighteenth-century England.

- Stockholding: from participation to location and to participation spillovers (2009)
- This paper provides a joint analysis of household stockholding participation, stock location among stockholding modes, and participation spillovers, using data from the US Survey of Consumer Finances. Our multivariate choice model matches observed participation rates, conditional and unconditional, and asset location patterns. Financial education and sophistication strongly affect direct stockholding and mutual fund participation, while social interactions affect stockholding through retirement accounts only. Household characteristics influence stockholding through retirement accounts conditional on owning retirement accounts, unlike what happens with stockholding through mutual funds. Although stockholding is more common among retirement account owners, this fact is mainly due to their characteristics that led them to buy retirement accounts in the first place rather than to any informational advantages gained through retirement account ownership itself. Finally, our results suggest that, taking stockholding as given, stock location is not arbitrary but crucially depends on investor characteristics. JEL Classification: G11, E21, D14, C35
- Analyzing interest rate risk: stochastic volatility in the term structure of government bond yields (2009)
- We propose a Nelson-Siegel type interest rate term structure model where the underlying yield factors follow autoregressive processes with stochastic volatility. The factor volatilities parsimoniously capture risk inherent to the term structure and are associated with the time-varying uncertainty of the yield curve's level, slope and curvature. Estimating the model based on U.S. government bond yields applying Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques we find that the factor volatilities follow highly persistent processes. We show that slope and curvature risk have explanatory power for bond excess returns and illustrate that the yield and volatility factors are closely related to industrial capacity utilization, inflation, monetary policy and employment growth. JEL Classification: C5, E4, G1
- Financial advisors: a case of babysitters? (2009)
- We merge administrative information from a large German discount brokerage firm with regional data to examine if financial advisors improve portfolio performance. Our data track accounts of 32,751 randomly selected individual customers over 66 months and allow direct comparison of performance across self-managed accounts and accounts run by, or in consultation with, independent financial advisors. In contrast to the picture painted by simple descriptive statistics, econometric analysis that corrects for the endogeneity of the choice of having a financial advisor suggests that advisors are associated with lower total and excess account returns, higher portfolio risk and probabilities of losses, and higher trading frequency and portfolio turnover relative to what account owners of given characteristics tend to achieve on their own. Regression analysis of who uses an IFA suggests that IFAs are matched with richer, older investors rather than with poorer, younger ones.
- The American consumer: reforming, or just resting? (2009)
- American households have received a triple dose of bad news since the beginning of the current recession: The greatest collapse in asset values since the Great Depression, a sharp tightening in credit availability, and a large increase in unemployment risk. We present measures of the size of these shocks and discuss what a benchmark theory says about their immediate and ultimate consequences. We then provide a forecast based on a simple empirical model that captures the effects of wealth shocks and unemployment fears. Our short-term forecast calls for somewhat weaker spending, and somewhat higher saving rates, than the Consensus survey of macroeconomic forecasters. Over the longer term, our best guess is that the personal saving rate will eventually approach the levels that preceded period of financial liberalization that began in the late 1970s. Classification: C61, D11, E24
- Venture capital exit rights (2009)
- Theorists argue that exit rights can mitigate hold-up problems in venture capital. Using a hand-collected data-set of venture capital contracts from Germany we show that exit rights are included more frequently in venture capital contracts when a hold-up problem associated with the venture capitalist's exit decision is likely. Examples include drag-along and tag-along rights. Additionally, we find that almost all exit rights are allocated to the venture capitalist rather than to the entrepreneur. In addition, we show that besides the basic hold-up mechanism there are other mechanisms such as ex-ante bargaining power and the degree of pledgeable income that drive the allocation of exit rights. JEL Classification: G24, G34, D80
- Algorithmic trading engines versus human traders – do they behave different in securities markets? (2009)
- After exchanges and alternative trading venues have introduced electronic execution mechanisms worldwide, the focus of the securities trading industry shifted to the use of fully electronic trading engines by banks, brokers and their institutional customers. These Algorithmic Trading engines enable order submissions without human intervention based on quantitative models applying historical and real-time market data. Although there is a widespread discussion on the pros and cons of Algorithmic Trading and on its impact on market volatility and market quality, little is known on how algorithms actually place their orders in the market and whether and in which respect this differs form other order submissions. Based on a dataset that – for the first time – includes a specific flag to enable the identification of orders submitted by Algorithmic Trading engines, the paper investigates the extent of Algorithmic Trading activity and specifically their order placement strategies in comparison to human traders in the Xetra trading system. It is shown that Algorithmic Trading has become a relevant part of overall market activity and that Algorithmic Trading engines fundamentally differ from human traders in their order submission, modification and deletion behavior as they exploit real-time market data and latest market movements.
- The crisis of fair value accounting: making sense of the recent debate (2009)
- The recent financial crisis has led to a vigorous debate about the pros and cons of fair-value accounting (FVA). This debate presents a major challenge for FVA going forward and standard setters' push to extend FVA into other areas. In this article, we highlight four important issues as an attempt to make sense of the debate. First, much of the controversy results from confusion about what is new and different about FVA. Second, while there are legitimate concerns about marking to market (or pure FVA) in times of financial crisis, it is less clear that these problems apply to FVA as stipulated by the accounting standards, be it IFRS or U.S. GAAP. Third, historical cost accounting (HCA) is unlikely to be the remedy. There are a number of concerns about HCA as well and these problems could be larger than those with FVA. Fourth, although it is difficult to fault the FVA standards per se, implementation issues are a potential concern, especially with respect to litigation. Finally, we identify several avenues for future research. JEL Classification: G14, G15, G30, K22, M41, M42
- Debt literacy, financial experiences, and overindebtedness (2009)
- We analyze a national sample of Americans with respect to their debt literacy, financial experiences, and their judgments about the extent of their indebtedness. Debt literacy is measured by questions testing knowledge of fundamental concepts related to debt and by selfassessed financial knowledge. Financial experiences are the participants' reported experiences with traditional borrowing, alternative borrowing, and investing activities. Overindebtedness is a self-reported measure. Overall, we find that debt literacy is low: only about one-third of the population seems to comprehend interest compounding or the workings of credit cards. Even after controlling for demographics, we find a strong relationship between debt literacy and both financial experiences and debt loads. Specifically, individuals with lower levels of debt literacy tend to transact in high-cost manners, incurring higher fees and using high-cost borrowing. In applying our results to credit cards, we estimate that as much as one-third of the charges and fees paid by less knowledgeable individuals can be attributed to ignorance. The less knowledgeable also report that their debt loads are excessive or that they are unable to judge their debt position. JEL Classification: D14, D91
- Governance und Vertragsstrukturen in der deutschen VC Industrie: eine empirische Einschätzung (2009)
- Diese Arbeit analysiert die wesentlichen Elemente der Vertragsstrukturen in der Venture Capital-Industrie. Aufbauend auf einem sehr umfangreichen und detaillierten Datensatz, der die Verträge zwischen Venture Capital-Investoren und deren Portfoliounternehmen abbildet, werden die Kontroll-, Entscheidungs- und Vetorechte einer detaillierten Analyse unterzogen. Dabei zeigt sich eine klare Tendenz in der Entwicklung der Vertragsstrukturen in Deutschland hin zu angelsächsisch strukturierten Verträgen. Dies beinhaltet unter anderem eine verstärkte Verwendung von Kontroll- und Entscheidungsrechten aber auch ein breiteres Spektrum dieser Rechte. Außerdem finden wir eine klare Interaktionen zwischen Kontrollrechten, Cash-Flow Rechten und Liquidationsrechten. Insbesondere ist zu betonen, dass Cash-Flow und Kontrollrechte einerseits und Stimmrechte und Aufsichtsratsanteile andererseits separat alloziiert werden und viele Kontrollrechte als Komplemente und nicht als Substitute zueinander aufgefasst werden müssen. JEL Classification: G24, G32, D86, D80, G34
- The design of vertical R&D collaborations (2009)
- Suppliers play a major role in innovation processes. We analyze ownership allocations and the choice of R&D technology in vertical R&D cooperations. Given incomplete contracts on the R&D outcome, there is a tradeoff between R&D specifically designed towards a manufacturer (increasing investment productivity) and a general technology (hold-up reduction). We find that the market solution yields the specific technology in too few cases. More intense product market competition shifts optimal ownership towards the supplier. The use of exit clauses increases the gains from the collaboration. JEL Classification: L22, L24, O31, O32
