    Posted 21 days ago
    Dear Colleagues,
    Apologies for cross posting.
    My coauthors and I are conducting a meta analysis on CEO regulatory focus and firms' strategic risk taking and performance. We are seeking unpublished or in press empirical studies that examine relationships between CEO promotion or prevention focus and:
    1. Strategic risk taking indicators such as R&D investment, capital investment, advertising investment, leverage, or firm risk, and or
    1. Firm performance, including accounting outcomes (for example ROA, ROI, ROE, ROS, net profit margin, net income) and market outcomes (for example Tobin's Q, market to book, stock returns, cumulative abnormal returns).
    If you have relevant work, we would be grateful if you could share the paper and, if available, the any of the following information:
    1. Effect sizes or the information needed to compute them, ideally a correlation matrix with sample size.
    1. Descriptive statistics for each variable (means and standard deviations).
    2. For survey measures of regulatory focus, the instrument name, number of items, and reliability.
    3. For text based measures, the text source used (letters to shareholders, MD&A, earnings calls), dictionary, basic preprocessing details, unit of analysis, and whether counts were normalized by total words.
    4. Sample characteristics, including time window, industry scope, country, sampling frame, and number of firms and firm years when applicable.
    We will use any shared information only in aggregate form, and we will cite your work according to your preference.
    Please email materials or questions to [kwonhee2@illinois.edu]. 
    Thank you very much for your consideration.
    Best regards,
