The Fama and French (1992) study has itself been challenged. The study’s claims most attacked are these: that beta has no role for explaining cross-sectional variation in returns‚ that size has an important role‚ and that the book-to-market equity ratio has an important role. The studies responding to the Fama and French challenge generally take a closer look at the data used in that study. Kothari‚ Shahken‚ and Sloan (1995) argue that Fama and French’s (1992) findings depend critically on how

On the other hand‚ the French people weren’t the only ones to start violence. The government instigated violence too. For example‚ the Champ the Mars on the 17th of July 1791‚ was a peaceful signing of a republican petition‚ by the poorer section of the Parisian people. The Commune declared martial law under pressure of the Assembly and ordered Lafayette and the National Guard fire on the unarmed and peaceful crowd. Around 50 people were killed. As a consequence National Assembly got support from

(Vector addition) INTRODUCTION With this experiment we will show that a body in a state of equilibrium‚ with three forces acting in a singular plane. The following conditions must be met: * Moment of all three forces must pass through the same point. * Magnitudes of the forces can be represented by the sides of a triangle‚ each as a vector

1. What are the assumptions implicit in Bill French’s determination of his company’s breakeven point? There are a number of simplifying assumptions made by Bill French in his calculations of the breakeven point of his company‚ Duo – Products Corporation. First‚ he had assumed that the market conditions will remain the same. Second‚ his calculations are based on the last year prices; it does not take into account in any change in prices. Third‚ he also ignores any changes in the fixed and

The Five Forces Framework and Competitive Strategy In this framework due to Michael Porter there are two high-level stages in the creation of competitive strategy‚ each stage corresponding to a high-level determinant of profitability mentioned in the previous section. The first stage is the assessment of the attractiveness of the industry in which a given company is embedded based on a structural analysis of the industry. In this stage‚ called the five forces framework‚ five forces that influence

Centrifugal force Centrifugal force (from Latin centrum‚ meaning "center"‚ and fugere‚ meaning "to flee") is the apparent outward force that draws a rotating body away from the center of rotation. It is caused by the inertia of the body as the body’s path is continually redirected. In Newtonian mechanics‚ the term centrifugal force is used to refer to one of two distinct concepts: an inertial force (also called a "fictitious" force) observed in a non-inertial reference frame‚ and a reaction force corresponding

officers have is their power to decide when to use force or when to use lethal force. Manning (1997) argues that it is generally accepted that police should be allowed to use force. He also explains that there are an uncertain amount people who agree on as to what constitutes excessive force. The line between what is necessary and what is extreme is very thin and hard to see. Use of force is no doubt one of the most important aspects in policing and force should also be used with great discretion. The
