The Power of Explaining Your No: How Investor Vote Rationales Drive Corporate Change

When institutional investors cast their votes against company directors, they increasingly do something that was once rare: they explain why. These “voting rationales” — brief written explanations accompanying dissenting votes — are emerging as a surprisingly effective tool for driving corporate governance reform, according to new research analyzing nearly 800,000 such disclosures.

Mr. Right or Mr. Best: The Role of Information Under Preference Mismatch in Online Dating

The study investigated the influence of information on two-sided matching platforms where preference mismatch can be prevalent. Two-sided platforms or markets like Airbnb, Tinder, and others are characterised by different preferences held by each party involved, and a match occurs when both sides express mutual preference for each other. In practice, however, preference mismatch is common, complicating the matching process. The study uses a large dataset from an online dating platform in China to empirically examine how preference mismatches shape platform’s optimal information design and affect matching outcomes.

Credit information sharing and investment efficiency: Cross-country evidence

This study examined how credit information sharing influenced firms’ investment efficiency, focusing on reforms across a selection of European countries’ public credit registries (PCRs). PCRs are centralised data repositories maintained by the respective country’s central bank that collect and share the credit histories of its borrowers. The study’s primary hypothesis was that credit information sharing enhances investment efficiency by enabling lenders to screen borrowers better and foster better borrower discipline.

Public Pensions and Family Dynamics: Eldercare, Child Investment, and Son Preference In Rural China

Using variations in the timing of the New Rural Pension Scheme (NRPS) across rural Chinese counties, this paper examines its effects on eldercare, child investment, and son preference.

Manipulation, Panic Runs, and the Short Selling Ban

This article explores how manipulative short selling (MSS) can trigger bank runs by inducing panic among creditors, especially when informed trading and coordination frictions are high. By applying the researchers’ theoretical model, they demonstrate that short sale bans can help prevent destabilising withdrawals during crises by suppressing MSS. The findings highlight the importance of targeted regulation to enhance financial stability across banking and short-term funding markets.

Price Manipulation with Algorithms: Think Twice

In the era of online shopping, the so-called “no discounts for old customers or dogs” policy often leaves loyal consumers feeling helpless. Many e-commerce platforms implement a “one person, one price” strategy, and even tailor prices based on users’ purchasing habits and browsing histories, causing different consumers to pay different prices for the same product. In addition, airline ticket prices fluctuate constantly, with the phenomenon of “the more you search, the more expensive it gets” becoming the norm.
