title: The reputational contagion effects of ransomware attacks

authors: Corbet, Shaen

subjects: cybercriminality

abstract: Little research examines investor attention outcomes spreading between firms through partial ownership, without additional business or industry linkages, including the spread of investor attention reactions to firms that are competitors to those firms having ownership stakes in impacted firms. We take advantage of the recent Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, evidencing reputational contagion from firms impacted directly by reputation events to firms that are competitors of the firms that have significant ownership with the impacted firm, but otherwise no other industrial overlaps. Our results suggest investor attention events have greater breadth of impact than previously realized.

title: Human capital in remote and rural Australia: The role of graduate migration

authors: Corcoran, Jonathan

subjects: Australia

abstract: In this paper we examine the spatial employment patterns of Australia's university graduates in nonurban locations. Using a 2006 data set recording the employment status of 65,661 university graduates 6 months after their graduation we examine how the personal and human capital characteristics of the individual university graduate affect the type of rural location into which he or she enters for employment purposes. The importance of identifying which types of graduates work where is essential for our understanding of the forces that are currently shaping the spatial distribution of human capital across Australia's regions. In order to do this we allocate postcode-based data of graduate employment to one of five remoteness classes, as defined by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, that allow us to distinguish between different degrees of rurality. The postcode data are used to associate the ways in which the human capital characteristics of the graduate in terms of the types of university degrees awarded and the universities attended, as well as the personal characteristics of the graduate, are related to the degrees of rurality in his or her employment outcomes.
