Coverdell Center for Biomedical & Health Sciences Athens, Georgia 30602 In the summer and fall of 2018, The University of Georgia implemented a new human resources and financial ERP system to replace various legacy systems which had been in place for more than 30 years and which served as the source for related information published in previous Fact Books. This new system manages all information related to the areas of faculty, staff, and university finances. As with any major system change, reconciling the new system with multiple previous legacy systems presented a number of challenges in this edition of the Fact Book and every effort has been made to maintain reporting consistency with previous years. We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to our colleagues across campus who have contributed to the 2020 Fact Book by providing data, guidance and support as we continue to expand our knowledge of the potential this new system affords the University of Georgia.

Orientadores: Carlos Klein Zanini (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul) Henry Hansmann (Yale University) Porto Alegre, 2011 © 2011 by Mariana Pargendler All rights reserved. 2 To my parents, Maria Isabel and Ari, and to Carlos. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation is the product of the collaboration between two law faculties in different hemispheres: the Yale Law School in the United States and the School of Law of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS) in Brazil. Professors Judith Martins-Costa, Carlos Klein Zanini, and Henry Hansmann have supported this joint enterprise since its inception, and for that I am most appreciative. The present work has benefited enormously from the resulting dialogue between these different legal cultures and styles of legal scholarship. I owe my deepest gratitude to my supervisor, Professor Henry Hansmann, who has been the most inspiring, dedicated, and generous academic mentor possible. I am deeply honored and humbled for the privilege of both receiving his invaluable guidance throughout the elaboration of this thesis and collaborating on other academic projects during my doctoral studies. I am also extremely grateful to my co-supervisor, Professor Carlos Klein Zanini. To him I owe not only the completion of this dissertation but also, as my first Business Organizations professor, my interest in corporate law that has accompanied me ever since.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: We investigate the link between the regulation of control transactions and the institutional and corporate features of public companies, by analyzing the massive delisting activity in the Romanian capital market. The peculiar ownership reforms involving a large number of listed companies offer a unique opportunity to test Bebchuk and Roe’s (2000) theory of path dependence. Over time, the Romanian authorities have undertaken wide-ranging institutional reforms, most of which favoring blockholders over small and dispersed shareholders. Our empirical approach, based on logit and duration models, allows us to analyze the evolution of public companies over this period and sheds light on the likely events causing the eclipse of frontier emerging markets.

Welsh Bulldog Print + Design Cover photo by Scott Duvall, Jawavi Films Provided courtesy of Terry College of Business Cover The Business Learning Community at the University of Georgia is the new home of the state’s flagship business school at the nation’s birthplace of public higher education. Built in three phases spanning six years, the Business Learning Community is a remarkable testament to the public/private partnership between the state of Georgia and the many alumni and friends of the Terry College of Business who supported the Building Terry campaign through their private gifts. The complex of six buildings provides the highly collaborative learning environment that Terry’s faculty and staff have long envisioned for all business students, featuring modern classrooms, team rooms, and spacious common areas. Correll Hall was the first to open in 2015. The next phase, which included Amos Hall, Benson Hall, and Moore-Rooker Hall, opened two years later. The third and final phase of construction was completed in 2019. It features two buildings – Ivester Hall and Sanford and Barbara Orkin Hall – separated by the Coca-Cola Plaza.

What does it take to list abroad? The Role of Global Underwriters Cecilia Caglio, Kathleen Weiss Hanley and Jennifer Marietta-Westberg ∗ Current version: March 2016 ABSTRACT This paper examines which firms benefit the most from going public abroad and how a robust IPO market affects the trend toward greater globalization of capital. We show that the decision to do an IPO outside the home country is affected not only by the home country's market characteristics but also the extent to which it is financially integrated with the world economy.
