NCR Unveils Time and Attendence System

Article Abstract:

NCR's Ring IV time and attendence system can handle either fixed or flexible work schedules, or a combination of both. The system reduces manual preparation, eliminates errors, and improves productivity. In addition, system parameters can be tailored by users to meet individual requirements. Ring IV provides the following functions: automated collection of employees clock-in and clock-out times, time calculations for computing hours worked (including overtime and absence), inquiry capability for up-to-date employee information, and a variety of reports including exception reporting. Designed for NCR's DPS-10 and DPS-20, license fees are $4,000 and $6,000, respectively.

Measuring security price performance in size-clustered samples

Article Abstract:

The impact of the firm size effect on market model and market-adjusted abnormal return-based test statistics is examined. Two alternative abnormal return methods, size control portfolio and size model approach, are explored. Conventional t-statistics are misspecified because their type I error rates are found to deviate significantly from those predicted by a true null hypothesis. Either size control portfolio or size model can control for firm size effects in event study contexts, but size control portfolio is the preferable alternative because it is easier to implement.
