The Math Inventory is a computer administered test that gives students math problems spanning from counting to high school level math. The purpose of this study was to figure out if success on the Math Inventory is a good indicator for performing well on the Scholastic Assessment Test SAT. The goal of many high school teachers is for students to excel on the SAT so that they can go to college, which means the tests used in high schools should be aligned with that goal. Data was analyzed from the 2017-2018 school year from ten different high schools in an urban school district to determine the correlation between Math Inventory score, and the math score/sub scores of SAT/PSAT. The linear regression coefficients for the PSAT/SAT math scores ranged from 2.111 to 2.359 while the r-squared values for the PSAT/SAT math score ranged from .3382 to .4837. Odds ratio tests were conducted for ‘High’ or ‘Low’ group placement and the ratios ranged from 7.74 to 10.37. The value of the Pearson’s correlation coefficient along with the results from the odds ratio tests suggest a fairly moderate positive relationship between these two variables and that success on the Math Inventory is a good indicator for success on the SAT.

This paper investigates whether firms vary the debt side of their capital structure, based on changes in investor demand for bonds. Examining asset flows into various asset classes over the last 30 years reveals that companies respond to recent increases in demand for bonds from investors by altering their capital structure towards greater use of debt. Firms are more likely to issue debt as demand for bonds rises, and their use of debt increases (decreases) in periods when demand for bonds is high (low) compared to periods when demand is not significantly changed. Firms use more (less) debt when spreads between corporate yields and Treasury rates are low (high), consistent with efforts by managers to adjust their debt issuances based on relative debt costs. These results hold after controlling for seasonality, firm effects, and macroeconomic conditions. These findings suggest that investor demand for debt needs to be taken into account when examining the capital structure puzzle.

We examine the impact of two defining social characteristics (individualism and risk aversion) and their interaction with governance and firm agency problems on capital structure in the G20 countries. With a sample of roughly 13,000 firms from 1995 to 2009, we show that higher levels of individualism are associated with increased firm use of debt and lower cost of capital, whereas higher risk aversion has the opposite effects. All else equal, better firm-level governance substantially reduces these cultural effects, as does larger firm size, and less research-intensity at the firm. To address endogeneity concerns, we use a propensity score matching procedure and show that our results continue to hold. Our results are also robust to alternative measures of culture, firm-level governance and agency costs, debt cost of capital, bankruptcy risk, identification concerns, and other country level effects.

ABSTRACT: Large-scale storage arrays are always in high demand by universities, government agencies, web search engines, and research laboratories. This unvarying need for more data storage has begun to push storage array magnitudes into an unknown stratum. As storage systems continue to outgrow the terabyte class and move into the petabyte range, these colossal arrays begin to show design limitations.

The influence of the Fed''s actions on equity prices has been a source of significant speculation in recent years. This paper uses a well-regarded measure for the “fair” value of interest rates to measure the degree to which the Fed is influencing interest rates, and then relates that level of interference to equity returns. We find that Fed''s actions are correlated with a modest negative impact on US equity prices - that is Fed interference has a slight negative relationship with broader equity returns. In contrast, outside the US, Central Bank interference generally has a stronger positive relationship to equity returns.
