"Managerial entrenchment and matching leverage preferences"
Timo Korkeamaki, Hanken School of Economics
November 26

We study the effect of managerial entrenchment on CEOs' tendency to imprint their personal leverage preferences upon the firms they manage. Using a unique data source that allows us to measure personal wealth and indebtedness in great detail, we find a connection between CEOs' personal leverage and that of their firms. Our results indicate that the connection is driven by the CEOs who have a longer tenure with the firm and the CEOs who also serve in a dual role. The connection is significantly weaker for those CEOs who have a proportion of their personal wealth tied to the firm.

"Game intelligence and statistics in team sports – a game theoretic approach"
Carl Lindberg, AP2 and Chalmers
October 22

We set up a game theoretic framework to analyze a wide range of situations from team sports. A fundamental idea is the concept of potential; the probability of the offense scoring the next goal minus the probability that the next goal is made by the defense. We develop categorical as well as continuous models, and obtain optimal strategies for both offense and defense. A main result is that the optimal defensive strategy is to minimize the maximum potential of all offensive strategies.

"How Individuals React to Defined Benefit Pension Risk"
Nicolas Salamanca Acosta, Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research
January 29

In this paper we develop a measure of (hybrid) defined benefit (DB) pension risk and show how this pension risk relates to individual portfolio and retirement decisions. We find that people in riskier DB plans are, on average, not only less likely to hold equity but also hold a smaller share of their wealth in equity. This relation is stronger for people who are better informed about their pension plan risk, and for retirees. We do not find that pension risk is related to the intended age of retirement. We provide extensive evidence supporting the identification and robustness of our results, and their interpretation as a behavioral response of people to pension risk. Our findings show that a well-funded DB pension system can improve the welfare of its participants in previously unexplored ways.
