Bryant's Research Surpasses 3,500 Google Scholar Citations

Turner College professor of management Phil Bryant recently surpassed 3,500 career Google Scholar citations. Additionally, Google Scholar reports that his i10-index is equal to 15, meaning that Bryant has published 15 studies that have each garnered at least 10 citations. Google Scholar also reports an additional metric. This is a scholar’s h-index, which is the largest number, h, of a scholar’s publications that have each garnered at least h citations. Bryant’s h-index is 14, meaning that his 14 most-cited studies have each generated at least 14 citations.

New Study by Turner College's Gisung Moon Examines Capital Budgeting Techniques Presented in Financial Management Textbooks

A new study by Turner College finance professor Gisung Moon and  Hongbok Lee of Western Illinois University  examines the capital budgeting techniques presented in financial management textbooks published by major U.S. publishers, focusing on the types of cash flows and discount rates, and then  proposes improvements to traditional capital budgeting techniques .  The study finds that textbooks typically evaluate a project's net cash flows using the firm's weighted average cost of capital (WACC). This method is valid only when the project's net cash flows have the same systematic risk as the firm's net cash flows. However, this assumption often does not hold. To address this, Moon and Lee propose using dual discount rates for the project's operating cash flows and expected future investment outlays. Specifically, the project's operating cash flows should be discounted at the firm's WACC or at a rate that reflects the systematic risk associated with those cas...

The Structural Divide in Georgia's Higher Education System

Our recent post on the structural divide in higher education drew a lot of reader interest. We decided to pull the same information that was provided for CSU for Georgia's other public and private universities. The large table below contains that information. Recall  that Substack essayist and higher education enthusiast Kyle Saunders used eight indicators drawn from federal data — IPEDS, College Scorecard, O*NET, WICHE projections, the Anthropic Economic Index — to position every four-year institution in the country along two dimensions: how resilient the institution itself is, and how well-positioned its graduates are in the labor market. In reading the table, institutions above the median on both axes are " High Capacity " while those below both are " High Stress ." The other two quadrants — " Market Misaligned " and " Structurally Exposed " — capture institutions with mixed structural positions.
