We track 38,916 production facilities—including plantations, livestock farms, and factories—in war-torn Colombian regions; we also collect the data of 5,138 attacks performed by the two rebel groups involved in Colombia’s civil war. To obtain exogenous variation in the conflict intensity, we use a difference-in-differences model that hinges on the peace process between the government and one of the guerrilla groups. We find that when the conflict intensity increases by one order of magnitude, inventory decreases by up to 10.38%. Firms, however, barely reduce finished inventory during war; they mainly reduce raw and work-in-process inventory. To offset this inventory reduction, firms increase their cash holdings—that is, they shift their working capital from physical inventory to liquid assets. The location of the facility moderates the effect of war: when a facility is close to a distribution center—hence, inventory travels short distances—the firm responds to violence by aggressively reducing inventory; when a facility is far from a distribution center, the firm reacts less aggressively to war.</p> <p> Fri, 13 Nov 2020 17:02:37 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 76594 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/managing-airfares-under-competition-insights-field-experiment-344763 <p>Authors: <a href="/desautels/maxime-cohen"><b>Maxime C.

We show that better spanning can significantly enhance market integration through local risk premia dissipation. Integration of the sovereign bond markets increases on average by about 10%, when a country moves from the 25th percentile to the 75th percentile as a result of higher political stability and credit quality, lower inflation and inflation risk, and lower illiquidity. The 10% increase in integration leads to, on average, a decrease in the sovereign cost of funding of about 1% per annum.</p> <p> Thu, 12 Sep 2019 18:17:40 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 74807 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/constrained-optimization-objective-functions-determined-random-forests-343515 <p><strong>Authors:</strong> Max Biggs, <a href="/desautels/rim-hariss">Rim Hariss</a> and Georgia Perakis</p> <p><strong>Publication:</strong> <i>Production and Operations Management</i>, Forthcoming<br /> First published online: September 2022</p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Mon, 14 Nov 2022 20:26:10 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87879 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/retail-power-distribution-channels-double-edged-sword-upstream-suppliers-342403 <p><strong>Authors:</strong> Yuhong He, <a href="/desautels/saibal-ray"><b>Saibal Ray</b></a> and Shuya Yin</p> <p><strong>Publication:</strong> <i>Production and Operations Management</i><br /> Volume 31, Issue 6, June 2022, Pages 2681 – 2694</p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Mon, 26 Sep 2022 20:23:24 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 87723 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/going-viral-or-growing-oak-tree-towards-sustainable-local-development-through-entrepreneurship-333807 <p><strong>Authors:</strong> Suntae Kim and <a href="/desautels/anna-kim"><strong>Anna Kim</strong></a></p> <p><strong>Publication: </strong><i>Academy of Management Journal</i>, Forthcoming</p> <p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Thu, 30 Sep 2021 13:42:52 +0000 angela.l.williams@mcgill.ca 81230 at /desautels /desautels/channels/news/does-private-country-country-reporting-deter-tax-avoidance-and-income-shifting-evidence-beps-action-331536 <p><strong>Author:</strong> <strong><a href="/desautels/preetika-joshi">Preetika Joshi</a></strong><br /> <br /> <strong>Publication:</strong> <em>Journal of Accounting Research</em>, Volume 58, Issue 2, May 2020, Pages 333-381.<br /> <br /> <strong>Abstract:</strong></p> Tue, 15 Jun 2021 13:17:27 +0000 julie.lapalme@affiliate.mcgill.ca 80882 at /desautels
