  • Superstition and Risk-Taking: Evidence from “Zodiac Year” Beliefs in China
    Superstition and risk-taking: Evidence from “zodiac year” beliefs in China This version: February 28, 2020 Abstract We show that superstitions –beliefs without scientific grounding – have material conse- quences for Chinese individuals’ risk-taking behavior, using evidence from corporate and in- dividual decisions, exploiting widely held beliefs in bad luck during one’s “zodiac year.” We first provide evidence on individual risk-avoidance. We show that insurance purchases are 4.6 percent higher in a customer’s zodiac year, and using survey data we show that zodiac year respondents are 5 percent more likely to favor no-risk investments. Turning to corpo- rate decision-making, we find that R&D and corporate acquisitions decline substantially in a chairman’s zodiac year by 6 and 21 percent respectively. JEL classification: D14, D22, D91, G22, G41 Keywords: Risk aversion, Innovation, Insurance, Household Finance, Superstition, China, Zodiac Year 1 1 Introduction Many cultures have beliefs or practices – superstitions – that are held to affect outcomes in situations involving uncertainty. Despite having no scientific basis and no obvious function (beyond reducing the stresses of uncertainty), superstitions persist and are widespread in modern societies. It is clear that superstitions have at least superficial impact: for example, buildings often have no thirteenth floor, and airplanes have no thirteenth row, presumably because of Western superstitions surrounding the number 13. Whether these beliefs matter for outcomes with real stakes – and hence with implications for models of decision-making in substantively important economic settings – has only more recently been subject to rigorous empirical evaluation. In our paper we study risk-taking of individuals as a function of birth year, and risk-taking by firms as a function of the birth year of their chairmen.

This material is subject to change as Internal Revenue rules and regulations are implemented. INTRODUCTION The deficit reduction act was passed by Congress on December 22, 1987. It added three new sections to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 related to the retention or adoption of fiscal years by partnerships, S corporations, and personal service corporations (PSC) which otherwise would have been required by the Tax Reform Act of 1986 to adopt the calendar year for tax purposes.

  • Chapter 5 – Date
    Chapter 5 – Date Luckily, most of the problems involving time have mostly been solved and packed away in software and hardware where we, and our customers overseas, do not have to deal with it. Thanks to standardization, if a vender in Peking wants to call a customer in Rome, he checks the Internet for the local time. As far as international business goes, it’s generally 24/7 anyway. Calendars on the other hand, are another matter. You may know what time it is in Khövsgöl, Mongolia, but are you sure what day it is, if it is a holiday, or even what year it is? The purpose of this chapter is to make you aware of just how many active calendars there are out there in current use and of the short comings of our Gregorian system as we try to apply it to the rest of the world. There just isn’t room to review them all so think of this as a kind of around the world in 80 days. There are so many different living calendars, and since the Internet is becoming our greatest library yet, a great many ancient ones that must be accounted for as well. We must consider them all in our collations. As I write this in 2010 by the Gregorian calendar, it is 2960 in Northwest Africa, 1727 in Ethopia, and 4710 by the Chinese calendar. A calendar is a symbol of identity. They fix important festivals and dates and help us share a common pacing in our lives. They are the most common framework a civilization or group of people can have.

  • PAYROLL DEFERRAL -Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
    PAYROLL DEFERRAL -Answers to Frequently Asked Questions- The following is a detailed listing of answers to frequently asked payroll deferral questions. Should you have questions remaining after reviewing this document, please contact your HR Administrator. Q. Why is my pay being delayed? A. The budget enacted by the General Assembly mandated the delay in pay. This means that the pay to be issued on *June 30th must be deferred until July 1st, the first banking day of the new fiscal year. * As a result of 101 KAR 2:095, Section 10, cited below, this date may differ when June 30th falls on a weekend or state holiday. 101 KAR 2:095, Section 10. Issuance of Pay to State Employees. (1) Pay shall be issued to state employees on the 15th and 30th day of each month. (2) If the regularly scheduled pay date falls on a weekend, state employees shall be issued pay on the preceding Friday. (3) If the regularly scheduled pay date falls on a state holiday as defined in KRS 18A.190, pay shall be issued on the workday preceding the holiday. Q. Is this deferral of my pay legal? A. Yes, the deferral is legal. The Budget Bill language sets aside all other language that controls pay dates and regular pay schedules. Q. Will this happen again in subsequent years? A. Beginning in 2012, based on the 2010-2012 Budget Bill enacted by the General Assembly, a payroll deferral was mandated for the final payroll of the fiscal year. This means that the final payroll for the 2011-2012 fiscal year (June 29, 2012) was postponed until the first business day of the following fiscal year (Monday, July 2, 2012).

  • The Bureaucratic Sense of the Forthcoming in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul.” Journal for the History of Knowledge 1, No
    Küçük, Harun. “The Bureaucratic Sense of the Forthcoming in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul.” Journal for the History of Knowledge 1, no. 1 (2020): 13, pp. 1–16. DOI: https://doi.org/10.5334/jhk.22 SPECIAL ISSUE The Bureaucratic Sense of the Forthcoming in Seventeenth-Century Istanbul Harun Küçük University of Pennsylvania, US [email protected] In this article, I try to answer how the study of bureaucracy may contribute to the history of knowledge. In the broadest terms, the story goes like this: The Ottoman treasury had a difficult time collecting taxes in the seventeenth century. The administrators needed to have a sense of who to tax and how much to tax. To produce the necessary knowledge quickly, they had to rely on a small bureaucracy. And they had to do this without the help of a robust educational system. All of these issues implicated the relationship between knowledge and time. This article provides a preliminary investigation of bureaucratic numeracy with special emphasis on seventeenth-century Ottoman almanacs, or ruznames.
