The case of Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is examined, specifically the IPOs of years 1996-2004 and their subsequent performance (delisting or not) till the end of 2017. We find that the probability of delisting is positively associated with the size of the issuance and the degree of earnings’ manipulation and negatively associated with audit quality, information transparency, and market timing. The effects of audit quality, size of issuance, and earnings’ manipulation are accentuated in instances of voluntary delisting while the effect of market timing is more clearly pronounced in instances of involuntary delisting. Our results are robust to a number of confounding factors including size, profitability, leverage, liquidity, growth options, and corporate governance. Our work is not replication of existing studies;in addition, we choose ASE as in that capital market there were many delistings the last two decades.展开更多

It argues that the tensions and conflicts between the lower class citizens and the upper classes are the key to understanding the nature of Athenian democracy and evaluating the role of revolution in the classical history of Athenians.展开更多

Wilson Knight, in his essay about the play, offers a praising tone that Timon of Athens possesses "the nature of a tragic movement more precipitous and unimpeded than any other in Shakespeare; one which is conceived on a scale even more tremendous than that of Macbeth and King Lear; and one whose universal tragic significance is of all most clearly apparent." Aside from this point of view, most critics seem to look at the play as展开更多
