Modafinil, a wake-promoting drug used to treat narcolepsy, is dopamine transporter inhibitor and said have very low abuse liability; this, however, still up for debate. We conducted (DAT) occupancy study with modafinil (200 or 300 mg) in ten healthy volunteers using positron emission tomography (PET) [18F]FE-PE2I, new PET radioligand high affinity selectivity the transporter, characterize its relation liability. Mean striatal DAT occupancies were 51.4% at 200 mg 56.9% mg. There was...
Well-constructed, country-specific “corporate governance indices†can predict higher firm values in emerging markets. However, there is little credible research on which aspects of drive that overall relationship. We study question across four major markets (Brazil, India, Korea, and Turkey). build indices, comprised indices for disclosure, board structure, ownership shareholder rights, procedure, control related party transactions.

Prior work in emerging markets provides evidence that better corporate governance predicts higher market value, but very little on the specific channels through which increases value. We provide evidence, from a natural experiment Korea, reduced tunneling can be an important channel. Korean legal reform 1999 improved board independence of “large” firms (assets > 2 trillion won) relative to smaller firms. This shock allows us assess effects using regression discontinuity design. In event...
Aim Dysfunction of dopaminergic neurons in the central nervous system is considered to be related major depressive disorder (MDD). Especially, MDD geriatric patients characterized by anhedonia, which assumed associated with reduced dopamine neurotransmission reward system. Dopamine transporter (DAT) reflect function nerve However, previous DAT imaging studies using single photon emission computed tomography or positron (PET) have shown inconsistent results. The radioligand [ 18 F]FE‐PE2I for...
The paper attempts to shed light on how group-affiliated firms make their decision initial public offerings. In particular, we highlight the importance of group-level factors. From our ex ante analysis, using a sample chaebol affiliated in Korea, find that are more likely go (i) if group-controlling shareholder holds high direct share ownership company; (ii) firm's contribution group control is low; or (iii) less benefit from internal capital market. post IPO do heavy investments year and after.
