Robert Hansen’s paper “Can analysts pick stocks for the long-run?” has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Financial Economics. The paper, co-authored with Oya Altınkılıç and Liyu Ye, examines stock return drift following analysts’ revisions of their stock recommendations. The paper finds that during the high-frequency algorithmic trading period of 2003–2010, stock return drift is not significantly different from zero, overturning previous research findings. The authors’ new findings agree with improved market efficiency after declines in real trading cost inefficiencies associated with transacting on analysts’ reports. Hansen is Francis Martin Chair in Business and professor of finance.

Jennifer Merluzzi’s paper “Unequal on top: Gender profiling and the income gap among high earner male and female professionals” has been accepted for publication in Social Science Research. In the paper, Merluzzi and co-author Stanislav D. Dobrev find that young women are routinely subjected to gender profiling by employers in which their potential contribution to the organization is interpreted through the lens of social stereotypes and cultural norms that attribute to them weaker labor market commitment than men. The end result, the authors suggest, is income inequality between high earner men and women during the early career stages. Merluzzi is an assistant professor of management.

Claire Senot’s paper “The Impact of Combining Conformance and Experiential Quality on Hospitals’ Readmissions and Cost Performance” has been accepted for publication in Management Science. The paper, co-authored with Aravind Chandrasekaran, Peter T. Ward, Anita L. Tucker and Susan D. Moffatt-Bruce, examines two key process quality measures — conformance quality and experiential quality — and two measures of performance — readmission rate and cost per discharge — to investigate the opportunity for hospitals to achieve better care at lower cost. The authors find that hospital administrators can mitigate the tradeoff between reducing readmissions and controlling costs by prioritizing communication-focused experiential quality, which measures caregivers’ ability to engage in meaningful conversations with the patient, over response-focused experiential quality, which measures caregivers’ ability to respond to explicit patient needs. In addition, Senot’s paper “Role of Bottom-up Decision Processes in Improving Care Quality: A Contingency Perspective,” co-authored with Aravind Chandrasekaren and Peter Ward, has been accepted for publication in Production and Operations Management. Senot is an assistant professor of management science.
Paddy Sivadasan and Ira Solomon’s paper “Audit fee residuals: costs or rents?” has been accepted for publication in the Review of Accounting Studies. In the paper, co-authored with Rajib Dooger of the University of Washington-Bothell, the authors find that fee residuals largely consist of researcher-unobserved audit production costs and are likely to be poor proxies for rents. This finding provides valuable guidance for how fee residuals should be used in future research, indicates promising avenues for future audit fee research, improves the ability to predict expected audit fees from past fee data and clarifies the policy implications that can reliably be drawn from extant and future fee-residuals-based research. Sivadasan is an assistant professor of accounting, and Solomon is dean and Debra and Rick Rees Professor of Business.
