Summary: This study examines the effects of removing short-sale restrictions on a sample of Russell 3000 firms. It finds that there is no evidence to support the causal channels of short interest, returns, and managerial fear for the indirect effects attributed to this experiment. Additionally, the study highlights the importance of confirming causal channels or economic mechanisms and shows the potential bias of sample selection and specification choices in producing statistical significance without an underlying economic mechanism.

Summary: The study uses unique supervisory property-level rental data to estimate a rental equivalence measure for owner-occupied housing in Ireland, addressing issues related to differentiation between new and existing rent levels, control for other utility costs, and estimation in the absence of rent controls. The findings suggest that considerable care is required when using rental equivalence methods in the presence of data gaps, as using measures based purely on existing rents may bias downward both the RE measure and the overall consumer price index.

Summary: Showing entrepreneurs an example of a successful mentor-mentee relationship increases the likelihood of them reaching out to a potential mentor, especially for women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs who make an effort to learn how to use an online mentoring platform and craft a suitable introductory message are successful in establishing a mentoring connection. However, many entrepreneurs do not adopt the offered interventions, resulting in fewer connections with mentors. Requiring entrepreneurs to undertake some basic training before engaging on online platforms may increase the barrier to entry but can ultimately lead to more meaningful connections with mentors.

Summary: This study is the first attempt to differentiate between investment and owner-occupancy in measuring real estate price bubbles. By identifying the housing tenure and leverage status of each residential sale in the Auckland housing market, four groups of transactions are created. The study finds minor differences in the duration and size of bubbles among the four groups. Furthermore, the overvaluation for all groups is mainly related to momentum behavior.

Summary: With increasing demand for housing worldwide, rental housing is becoming a popular choice to meet the supply deficit. A study conducted in Koforidua, Ghana, using a discrete choice experimental approach, found that factors such as location outskirts, rent payment modality of two years' advance, electricity availability, access road quality, and monthly rent payable significantly influence housing renters' preferences. The study also revealed variations in preferences based on renters' age, gender, vehicle ownership, and employment status. Recommendations included improving access routes within built-up areas, promoting alternative energy sources, and enhancing neighborhood road infrastructure for sustainable rental housing provision.
