Multi-purpose open-end monitoring procedures for multivariate observations based on the empirical distribution function Open
We propose nonparametric open-end sequential testing procedures that can detect all types of changes in the contemporary distribution function of possibly multivariate observations. Their asymptotic properties are theoretically investigate…

Is performance affected by the CEO-Employee pay gap? Evidence from Australia Open
It is argued that pay inequality between CEOs and employees impacts employee performance, although empirical studies are inconsistent about the directionality of the effect. This paper shows that seemingly contradictory predictions of soci…
