Excessive managerial entrenchment, corporate governance, and firm performance. (c2019)
Published 2019“…Our main focus is on firms’ excess managerial entrenchment, which is calculated by finding the difference between firm’s E-index and its industry median in a given year. Our findings suggest that an increase in excess CEO entrenchment reduces the likelihood of CEO turnover due to poor performance. …”

Introducing Extended Data on Terrorist Groups (EDTG), 1970 to 2016
Published 2020“…Unlike most extant group data sets, the extended data on terrorist groups (EDTG) is not tied to terrorist groups and attacks listed in the RAND terrorism data; rather, EDTG is linked to terrorist groups and attacks given in the Global Terrorism Database. Terrorist groups’ variables in EDTG include ideology, main goals, start date, duration, base country, attack diversity, peak size, alternative endings (if relevant), and others. …”

Effects of electrode morphology on the performance of BPSH and PATS ionic polymer transducers
Published 2017“…The electromechanical coupling in ionomeric materials is due to the charge motion in the polymer backbone. Increasing the capacitance of the actuator increases the motion of the charges and the actuation performance of ionic polymer transducers has been shown to be strongly correlated with charge motion. …”
