When laws change the rules of the game, it is important to observe the effects on the players' behavior. Some effects can be anticipated while others are difficult to enunciate before the law comes into force. In this paper we have analyzed articles authored by Spanish accounting academics between 1996 and 2005 to assess the impact of a change in…

We conduct a longitudinal analysis of the NACUBO-Commonfund Study of Endowments (NCSE) results from 2006-2013 to evaluate if active management is related to higher endowment returns in U.S. equities over time. We also analyze the data to evaluate the endowment characteristics that are related to higher levels of performance over time. We find that…

Locascia, Joseph J.; Cordray, David S. – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1983
This paper demonstrates that gain score analysis and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) will always yield conflicting results unless the slopes of within-group regression lines of posttest on pretest equal one. In Lord's specific hypothetical example, trait instability invalidates the ANCOVA. An analysis that corrects for this problem is…
