Kristin Byron (forthcoming), “Carrying Too Heavy a Load? The Communication and Miscommunication of Emotion by
E-mail.” Academy of Management Review

Milena Petrova, Robert D. Campbell, and C.F. Sirmans (2006), “Value Creation in REIT Property Sell-Offs,” Real Estate Economics
The authors find that abnormal shareholder returns are significantly positive, a result that differs from findings for REIT sell-offs prior to 1990, but that is consistent with findings for conventional firms that sell off real estate. Because REITs do not pay taxes, this finding supports the view that abnormal returns in real estate sell-offs by all types of firms are derived largely from asset allocation efficiencies and do not result exclusively from tax benefits. |
