• Uphill Battle -- Adoption'

When she arrived in Memphis 11 years ago, even a short car trip left her with motion sickness. That seemed like ancient history when Elena Mordvina got her driver's license at the end of March. Driving meant she could get a job. The job meant she could rent a house. "It's like climbing a ladder. Each step gets me a little closer to the top," she says of the route she traveled from a Russian orphanage, through a failed adoption, life on the streets and the birth of a son.

• How Do Regulation Changes Impact the Bondholders' Perception of Auditor Choice and Managerial Ownership? Evidence From the Sarbanes-Oxley Act Adoption

This paper explores how US bondholders value the auditor choice and managerial ownership of firms and investigates whether regulation changes affect these perceptions. Using the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) as a major regulation shift, we find that during the pre-SOX period, bondholders value the services of one of the Big Four auditors but not after the Act adoption. As for managerial ownership, we find that bondholders ask for higher bond yields after the Act enactment from firms with higher executive ownership whereas they do not before SOX. The overall evidence suggests that auditor choice and managerial ownership have lost their "disciplinary" power since the adoption of the SOX Act.
