Managers vs. Owners: The Struggle for Corporate Control in American Democracy
This book deals with a subject of profound importance to understanding the place of the modern corporation in a democratic society. This is the inherent conflicts between the interest of corporate owners (the shareholders), the interest of the larger society, and the interest of the managers who run the corporations. Managers have created a shared professional ideology that is designed to preserve their autonomy. To protect itself from unbridled …
Corporate political action committees' strategies in the 1980 congressional elections
Corporate political action committees donate millions of dollars to political candidates. They outnumber and outspend labor unions. Begun as a reform in the 1971 Campaign Finance Act, PAC's now appear to many as a threat to free elections. Using an original survey of 224 corporations whose PACs donated to 591 candidates, this article applies principal component analysis to evaluate them in terms of their strategy. Is it monolithic? Is it ideologi…
Estimation of Multiperiod Expected Rates of Return When Investment Relatives Are Lognormally Distributed
This article extends Blume's (1974) work on the estimation of multiperiod expected rates of return to the interesting case in which investment relatives are lognormally distributed. We derive the minimum variance unbiased estimator for the expected multiperiod investment relative and its variance. We also develop five other estimators, including an approximate minimum mean squared error estimator. Two empirical studies are made, one based on port…
Copena Galena: Source Identification and Analysis
Galena artifacts from Middle Woodland Copena burial mounds have been analyzed by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometry in order to determine their trace element compositions. These results are compared to trace element characteristics of galena sources in eastern North America. Analysis to date suggests the Upper Mississippi Valley galena district as the source for these artifacts. Implications concerning Middle Woodland exchange systems a…
