Academic

The roster for the Conglomerate Junior Scholars Workshop has been set.  All four papers this year will be spotlighted on an upcoming Wednesday.  As in previous years, I will post the link to the paper and the abstract prior to that Wednesday, and then on Wednesday morning, I will post comments to that paper from illustrious friends of the Glom.  Then, everyone else jumps in.  As always, we treat this as an academic conference, so if you raise your hand to make a comment or a question, your nametag has to show, and it can't read "Anonymous."  We are looking forward to four Wonderful Wednesdays.  Here's the 2010 Dream Team:

August 11: Andrew Lund, Associate Professor, Pace, Say on Pay's Bundling Problems

August 18: Mohsen Manesh, Assistant Professor, Oregon, Delaware and the Market for LLC Law:  A Theory of Contractability and Legal Indeterminacy.

August 25: Jim Hawkins, Associate Professor, Houston, Regulating on the Fringe:  Reexamining the Link Between Fringe Banking and Financial Distress.

September 1: Urska Velikonja, O'Connor Fellow, Arizona State, Leverage, Sanctions, and Deterrence of Accounting Fraud.
