Minority shareholders' control rights and the quality of corporate decisions in weak investor protection countries : a natural experiment from China by Chen, Zhihong, Ke, Bin, Yang, Zhifeng

“…Using a 2004 Chinese securities regulation that requires equity offering proposals to obtain the separate approval of voting minority shareholders, we examine whether giving minority shareholders increased control over corporate decisions helps reduce value-decreasing corporate decisions for firms domiciled in weak investor protection countries. We find that the regulation deters management from submitting value-decreasing equity offering proposals in firms with higher mutual fund ownership. …”

Solving large-scale planning and deep learning problems by Aung, Aye Phyu Phyu

“…However, the state, action space and time of most games are set as discrete to find the optimal strategy. Hence, the primary focus of the research will be on solving problems with large-scale action space as the direct usage of existing small or discrete solutions limits the solution quality and brings less resemblance to the increasingly complex real-life situations. …”
