WE STAND for DEMOCRACY. a Government of the People, by the People A14 EZ RE the washington post . wednesday, april 14, 2021 EZ RE A15 ADVERTISEMENT ADVERTISEMENT WE STAND FOR DEMOCRACY. A Government of the people, by the people. A beautifully American ideal, but a reality denied to many for much of this nation’s history. As Americans, we know that in our democracy we should not expect to agree on everything. However, regardless of our political affiliations, we believe the very foundation of our electoral process rests upon the ability of each of us to cast our ballots for the candidates of our choice. For American democracy to work for any of us, we must ensure the right to vote for all of us. We all should feel a responsibility to defend the right to vote and to oppose any discriminatory legislation or measures that restrict or prevent any eligible voter from having an equal and fair opportunity to cast a ballot. Voting is the lifeblood of our democracy and we call upon all Americans to join us in taking a nonpartisan stand for this most basic and fundamental right of all Americans.

    Tech titans pledge $1 bn for artificial intelligence research 12 December 2015 The OpenAI funders "have committed $1 billion, although we expect to only spend a tiny fraction of this in the next few years." Artificial intelligence is a red-hot field of research and investment for many tech companies and entrepreneurs. However leading scientists and tech investors, including Musk, have publicly expressed concern over the risks that artificial intelligence could pose to humanity if mismanaged, such as the potential emergence of "Terminator"-type killer robots. "We believe AI should be an extension of individual human wills and, in the spirit of liberty, as broadly Elon Musk, CEO of US automotive and energy storage and evenly distributed as is possible safely," read company Tesla, presents his outlook on climate change at the Paris-Sorbonne University in Paris on December the statement, co-signed by the group's research 2, 2015 director Ilya Sutskever.

A cultural audit is a method of gaining a deeper understanding of priority audiences by understanding the pop culture narratives they consume. The project has two overarching goals. The first is to provide evidence-based insights to the foundation’s Voices for Economic Opportunity grantee cohort, a group of organizations who are designing new narratives of poverty to correct misconceptions and address systemic barriers to mobility. The second is to establish a baseline of existing narratives for longitudinal tracking by Harmony Labs, another foundation grantee. The formative research summarized in this report examines how poverty and wealth are constructed in the pop culture narratives in which media consumers are immersed — specifically scripted TV and film, popular music, and top-selling video games.1 In later stages, the Lear Center will expand this analysis to TV news and unscripted content.

  • Contemporary Anti-Semitism: an Urgent Challenge
    Contemporary Anti-Semitism: An Urgent Challenge MARY ROBINSON Director Ethical Globalization Initiative An Interview with Priya Bindra, Jesse Finkelstein, and Julia Kay; and an Abridged Transcript Brown University, 8 November 2004 The Honorable Mary Robinson was the first female President of Ireland, serving from 1990 to 1997, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, from 1997 to 2002. She is currently Director ofthe Ethical Globalization Initiative, which aims to foster more equitable international trade and development, strengthen responses to HIV/AIDS in Africa, and shape more humane miration policies. Brown Journal of World Affairs: You are speaking today about contemporary anti- Semitism in Europe. Do you think this is a global phenomenon, or is it solely a Euro- pean problem? Mary Robinson: I think it a global phenomenon. It just happens to be particularly virulent in Europe, and I have been conscious of that for a number of years. This is not the first time I am speaking about this; as Commissioner, I wrote to the foreign minis- tries of a number of European governments in 2002 asking them to take more active steps. It was of course the Nazi period in Europe that was one ofthe darkest moments of anti-Semitism, and was what led to global recognition ofthe problem. It prompted the recognition that the world needed a United Nations Charter, and I recall that the Jewish community here in the United States played a very significant role in the draft- Copyrigbt © 2005 by the Brown Journal of World Affairs WINTER/SPRING 2005 • VOLUME XI, ISSUE 2 MARY ROBINSON ing of that charter.

Murphy, Francisco Perez- Gonzalez, Adriano Rampini, Myron Scholes, Geoffrey Tate, Ralph Walkling, Ivo Welch, Rebecca Zarutskie, Jeffrey Zwiebel, seminar participants at Arizona State University, Duke University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Indiana University, the London School of Economics, Michigan State University, Nanyang Technological University, National University of Singapore, Singapore Management University, Stanford University, the Stockholm School of Economics, the University of Alberta, the University of Chicago, the University of Michigan, and conference participants at the 2011 Econometric Society Meeting, the 2011 Western Finance Association Meeting, the 2011 Duke-UNC Corporate Finance Conference, the 2011 SFS Cavalcade, and the 2012 University of Washington Summer Finance Conference. CEO Preferences and Acquisitions This paper explores the impact of target CEOs’ retirement preferences on takeovers. Mergers frequently force target CEOs to retire early, and CEOs’ private merger costs are the forgone benefits of staying employed. Using retirement age as a proxy for CEOs’ private merger costs, we find strong evidence that target CEO preferences affect merger patterns. The likelihood of receiving a successful takeover bid is sharply higher when target CEOs are close to age 65. Takeover activity is elevated in a narrow window around age 65, with only a small gradual increase as CEOs approach retirement age.

We appreciate comments from workshop participants at ESSEC (2015), HEC Paris (2015), NYU (2014) and WHU (2014). Hervé Stolowy is a member of the GREGHEC, CNRS Unit, UMR 2959.

The authors also acknowledge Clara Boecher, Matthieu Lagarde, Markan Tsurkan, Mario Vaupel, Jiayue Zhou and Katy Zhou for their valuable research assistance. Welcome back? Economic consequences of CEO reappointments Abstract We analyze reappointments of former CEOs of U.S. listed firms over the period 1992 – 2013. For a sample of 117 CEO reappointments, we find that shareholders of these firms experience statistically significant negative stock valuation consequences. Our findings are robust to multiple return measurement windows and alternative definitions of abnormal returns. We also document that market reactions depend on certain executive-specific attributes, such as whether she is the founder of the firm or whether she is also appointed as chairman of the board of directors. Finally, we show that firm performance deteriorates after a former CEO is appointed relative to appointing a non-former CEO.
