by Jonas Heese

This paper looks specifically at whether the SEC, as a consequence of government pressure, reduces its enforcement actions for labor-intensive firms. Results indicate that voters' interests do drive political pressure on the SEC. The SEC incorporates such pressure in its enforcement actions, independent of firms' lobbying for their special interests. Closed for comment; 0 Comment(s) posted.

Regulator Leniency and Mispricing in Beneficent Nonprofits

by Jonas Heese, Ranjani Krishnan & Frank Moers

How organizations influence regulation is a complicated and dynamic process. In a study of boundaries regarding appropriate compliance in the context of the health care industry, the authors offer that nonprofits that provide unprofitable services such as the provision of charity care and medical education (beneficent nonprofits) are less likely to face regulatory enforcement for mispricing and exhibit more mispricing. Results indicate that lenient enforcement assists beneficent nonprofits to obtain higher revenues in price-regulated markets. Closed for comment; 0 Comment(s) posted.
