Publish or perish: what the competition is really doing

Article Abstract:

This study provides comprehensive publications performance data over a 25-year period for finance doctorates. These data indicate that publishing one article per year in any finance journal (or finance, accounting, economics, or business journal) over any prolonged period of time is a truly remarkable feat, met by only 5% of the graduates. Tenure screens combining various quantity and quality requirements are examined to assess their ability to predict future publication productivity. Faculty and administrators seeking defensible benchmarks for evaluating faculty research productivity in finance will find that these data and results are particularly useful.

Doing business in the park

Article Abstract:

Business parks are becoming more popular in Scotland. Business parks provide several advantages, including increased room for parking, a less congested environment, and lower property out-goings. There is a demand for business parks in Scotland, but their construction has been delayed by such factors as a lack of back-up services and a slump in the real estate market. Business parks can be customized to suit specific occupants, and rents are related more closely to building costs. The advantages that Scotland offers in terms of building business parks include its natural resources and low commuting times.

Doing business after TRA 1986

Article Abstract:

The Tax Reform Act of 1986 significantly changed taxation for four primary business entities: sole proprietorships, partnerships, 'C' corporations, and 'subchapter S' corporations. Economic considerations of tax reform include limited liability, ease of raising capital, ability to separate business interests from personal ones, and the level of business involvement. Tax considerations include the marginal rate of taxation, the pass-through of tax attributes, the tax profile of investors, the profitability of the enterprise, and the taxable nature of income and deductions.
