Estimating the Effects of Large Shareholders Using a Geographic Instrument

Rüdiger Fahlenbrach

Large shareholders may play an important role for firm performance and policies, but identifying this empirically presents a challenge due to the endogeneity of ownership structures. We develop and test an empirical framework that allows us to separate sel ...

The role of inhibition in motor control of finger functions

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel

The motor actions that can be witnessed as a virtuoso musician performs can be so fast, so accomplished, so precise, as to seem somehow superhuman. The musician has to produce the movements, monitor those they have already made and the subsequent result, c ...

Speckle statistics in optical coherence tomography

Theo Lasser, Boris Clément Karamata, Kai Hassler, Markus Laubscher

The two previously reported calculations of the amplitude distribution of speckles in optical coherence tomography, each based on a different mathematical formulation, yield different results. We show that a modification of an initial assumption in one of ...
