The devil is in the detail? Investors’ mispricing of proxy voting outcomes on M&A deals by Li, Lingwei, Zhang, Huai

“…What's more, the association between the voting outcome and post-merger stock returns is stronger when investors’ attention to the voting outcome is distracted by same-day earnings announcements, when the marginal investor is less likely to be sophisticated, and when investors have greater pre-merger disagreement.

Fluid fluxing and accumulation drive decadal and short-lived explosive basaltic andesite eruptions preceded by limited volcanic unrest by Utami, Sri Budhi, Costa, Fidel, Lesage, Ph., Allard, P., Humaida, H.

“…Here we interrogate the rock record and obtain insights into the processes and pre-eruptive conditions that led to the 1990 Kelud eruption, which we integrate with monitoring data (seismicity, lake temperature and hydro-Acoustics, sulfur emissions) towards a conceptual model for this type of events. Mineral-melt geothermobarometers indicate that the basaltic andesite magma carried a crystal cargo from as deep as 1519 km, and reached volatile saturation at 49 km with 24 wt.% water in the melt. …”

At your service! The role of tax havens in international trade with services by Hebous, S, Johannesen, N

“…In these service categories, trade with affiliates in tax havens is skewed towards imports and the internal service providers in tax havens earn significant excess profits that vary strongly with the value of their internal service sales. These patterns are suggestive that multinational firms operate tax haven entities that sell overpriced services to affiliates in order to erode their taxable profits and reduce the global tax bill. …”
