  • Does the Glass Ceiling Exist? a Longitudinal Study of Women's
    The Journal of Applied Business Research – May/June 2014 Volume 30, Number 3 Does The Glass Ceiling Exist? A Longitudinal Study Of Women’s Progress On French Corporate Boards Rey Dang, La Rochelle Business School, France Duc Khuong Nguyen, IPAG Business School, France Linh-Chi Vo, EM Normandie, France ABSTRACT In this article, we conduct a longitudinal study of women’s progress on French corporate boards of directors. We particularly focus on the extent to which women directors have circumvented the glass ceiling. Using a sample of SBF 120 companies over a 10-year period from 2000 to 2009, our results provide evidence of a significant increase in the number of women on French corporate boards. However, the corporate glass ceiling hypothesis is consistently rejected whatever the considered measure of female directors; i.e., the number of board seats held by women, the number of firms with a critical mass of female directors, and the number of directorships held by each women director. Keywords: Boards of Directors; Gender; Diversity; Corporate Governance 1. INTRODUCTION ver the period 2000-2009, the average participation rate of women in the labor market increased from 60 to 64 percent across the European Union’s 27 Members States. More specifically, in France, it went up from 60.3 to 64.9 percent.1 However, despite this notable progress, women remain under-represented Oin senior or executive positions (ILO, 2009).2 This lack of female representation on corporate boards of directors, which is commonly referred to as glass ceiling in practice and past academic studies, seems to be a global phenomenon because women on corporate boards (WOCB) represents less than 15% of board members in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and many European countries (Dang & Vo, 2012).3 Morrison et al.

  • Analysis of Key Drivers of Trading Performance
    Analysis of Key Drivers of Trading Performance Bogdan Batrinca A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of University College London Department of Computer Science University College London 2016 2 Declaration I, Bogdan Batrinca, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. …………………………………………… Bogdan Batrinca 3 Abstract This thesis is an applied study for understanding the key factors of trading volume, providing an in-depth investigation of liquidity demand and market impact. This research was conducted in collaboration with Deutsche Bank and presents a series of empirical studies, which examine several underlying factors affecting trading volume when executing orders algorithmically in the European equity markets, which ultimately translates into trading performance and liquidity modelling. This addresses several aspects: the size of the liquidity demand relative to the predicted or actual volumes traded in the market; the choice of execution strategy given the liquidity properties of the stock; and the timing of the trade, given the market circumstances and released or anticipated company news. All of these reflect the investment skill of the portfolio manager and the execution skill of the trader, and to some extent the quality of the execution algorithm being used. The motivation is to investigate various factors that adversely affect the trading performance of algorithms, causing them to have excessive market impact or to under-participate when the market experiences periods of higher volatility. Although measuring the market fairness and efficiency is a crucial component for understanding the execution style and improving trading performance, the research into how to model and decompose trading performance requires further investigation.

If she pulls it off, she’ll become not only the first woman and first first lady to rise to the country’s highest office but also the first Democrat to succeed another two-term Democrat since Martin Van Buren succeeded Andrew Jackson in 1837. She’ll also become the first to be under FBI investigation. Today we learned that the bureau is reopening her email case, mere days after WikiLeaks released even more damning files on the nominee. I find it interesting that back in July, eccentric internet entrepreneur Kim Dotcom predicted that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange would turn out to be Hillary’s “worst nightmare”—a prediction that has largely come true.
