The authors found that firms who persistently maintain a zero-leverage structure signal to the market that they undertake Seasoned Equity Offerings (SEO) for reasons other than mispricing. The researchers also found evidence that all-equity firms signal to the market that they are likely to maintain the all-equity structure, which makes them attractive merger and acquisition targets.

Through a study of historical primary sources, as well as contemporary films, art, and music, we will focus on how religion and gender create and recreate each other through an exploration of religious texts, legal interpretations, and religious practices. We will think through feminist methodologies for studying religion, as well as the ways that Muslim women exert their agency in challenging, changing, and/or preserving their roles in Muslim societies.
