ALTRUISM AND THE FAMILY FIRM : SOME THEORY Columns E and F explore the impact of varying the sample definition. In Column E, the basic model is estimated on public schools only, while in Column F the 18 MSAs that have only a single district are excluded. The choice-peer group interaction coefficient is again negative in each of these specifications, significantly so (and with a substantially larger point estimate than in the basic specifications) in the latter case. | UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Altruism and the Family Firm Some Theory by Zhenyu Wu A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTERS OF ARTS DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS CALGARY ALBERTA SEPTEMBER 2001 ZHENYU wu 2001 National Library of Canada Acquisitions and Bibliographic Services 395 Wellington street Ottawa ON K1A0N4 Canada Bibliothèque nationale du Canada Acquisitions et services bibliographiques 395 rue Wellington Ottawa ON K1A0N4 Canada Your No Votto rttềronco Our tío Notn réỉềronco The author has granted a nonexclusive licence allowing the National Library of Canada to reproduce loan distribute or sell copies of this thesis in microform paper or elecfronic formats.
