The empirical results show that the accumulation of biological human capital prior to disasters helps children maintain investments in the post-disaster period. Biological human capital formed in early childhood (long-term nutritional status) plays a role of insurance with resilience to disasters by protecting schooling investment and outcomes, although disasters have negative impacts on investment. In Bangladesh, children with more biological human capital are less affected by the adverse effects of floods, and the rate of investment increases with the initial human capital stock in the post-disaster recovery process. In Ethiopia and Malawi, where droughts are rather frequent, exposure to highly frequent droughts in some cases reduces schooling investment but the negative impacts are larger among children embodying less biological human capital. Asset holdings prior to the disasters, especially the household's stock of intellectual human capital, also helps maintain schooling investments at least to the same degree as the stock of human capital accumulated in children prior to the disasters.","PeriodicalId":142467,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Human Capital","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131314117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Galenson’s work on the relationship between artistic creativity and the life cycle of artists. Galenson introduces a simple classification of creativity careers (early vs. late-bloomers), relates it to a bipartite typology of creativity (conceptual vs. experimental innovators) and builds on this typology to explain the decreasing trend of age at which artists were most creative over several generations in the 19th and 20th centuries. Drawing on Galenson’s measures, the present paper uses a different approach to overcome possible criticisms to his design. Applying sequence analysis to creativity careers of 41 major modern painters, it also yields a fairly different story from the one Galenson proposes. In particular, I show that a typology of creativity should distinguish between creativity occurring within artistic movements and other forms of creativity. This distinction is important, for the decrease in age at peak creativity over time seems actually driven by the evolution of movement-related creativity alone. Investigating the specific issue of creativity over the life cycle of artists, and showing that movements and interactions play an important part in the picture, the paper thus suggests there is something more than the mere individual involved in artistic creativity.","PeriodicalId":142467,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Human Capital","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121921155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Practitioners claim that M&A deals, which involve practices with strong knowledge management discipline, are better candidates for acquisition. Experience reveals that world-class organizations that are managing knowledge assets effectively increase innovation, accelerate speed to market, increase organizational competence, and improve productivity.<br><br>In M&A deals, companies go through a chain of activities: (1) crafting inorganic growth strategy; (2) screening market for acceptable growth opportunities; (3) targeting the candidates; (4) conducting due diligence investigations and post-acquisition integration planning; (5) allocating purchase price and negotiating; (6) signing and closing; and notably (7) implementing and finalizing post-merger integration. <br><br>In our contribution, we will provide insight on the importance of intellectual capital in inorganic growth.

Emulation in Teams and Families 团队和家庭中的模仿

Léonard, Ngo van Long","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.1369209","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.1369209","url":null,"abstract":"We present a model where the probability distribution over the space of an agent's achievements depends not only on her ability and effort, but also on the goals set for her. The agent chooses her effort according to her utility net of perceived cost of effort. This cost is inversely proportional to an `emulation function' that depends on the training undertaken by rival agents. The principal also incurs costs in setting goals. In the first part of the paper we analyse the cases of coaches setting goals for rival athletes and that of a coach in charge of a team. We can sometimes rank the outcomes. In the second part of the paper we turn our attention to families where parents do not treat their children as perfect substitutes, as coaches did. We show that in many circumstances the emulation process reverses our naive intuition. There are now two distinct ways of prodding children to success: direct coaching, and emulation through sibling rivalry. Nous presentons un modele ou la distribution de la valeur du succes d'un agent depend non seulement de son aptitude et de son effort, mais aussi des objectifs qui lui sont fixes par le principal. L'agent choisit son effort en tenant compte de son utilite et du cout percu de l'effort. Ce cout est inversement proportionel a une 'fonction d'emulation' qui depend des objectifs fixes a ses rivaux. Dans une premiere partie, nous analysons les choix d'entraineurs d'athletes rivaux et celui de l'entraineur d'une equipe. Nous pouvons parfois ordonner leurs resultats. Une deuxieme partie analyse le cas des familles qui, contrairement aux entraineurs, ne considerent pas leurs enfants comme de parfaits substituts. Nous demontrons que souvent le processus d'emulation aboutit a des resultats contraires a une intuition naive. Il y a maintenant deux voies distinctes pour pousser les enfants vers le succes : une voie directe par la formation, et une voie indirecte s'appuyant sur la rivalite entre freres et soeurs.","PeriodicalId":142467,"journal":{"name":"Labor: Human Capital","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124889374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
