Area Administration
We find that all-cash M&A deals are more likely to be withdrawn than mixed-payment deals. To explain this pattern, we propose a model in which acquiring firms' managers learn deal quality differently based on post-announcement stock prices, contingent on the payment method. A decline in the acquirer's stock price signals lower expected synergies while simultaneously reducing the cost of equity-financed deals, leaving cash deal costs unchanged. This asymmetry increases cross-sectional dispersion in announcement-to-completion returns for all-cash deals, amplifying uncertainty and incentivizing investors to acquire more information. As a result, price informativeness improves. Empirical analyses support our model, showing that all-cash deals exhibit higher cross-sectional return volatility and that their withdrawal likelihood is more sensitive to acquirers' announcement returns compared to mixed-payment deals.

Drawing on the attention-based view (ABV), this study investigates the role of generative AI in enhancing cross-domain attention as a mediator to improve collaborative performance in organizations. Through a field experiment with a longitudinal survey design conducted at an IT service company using ChatGPT Enterprise, we observe that employees using ChatGPT Enterprise attract 23.5% more attention from their colleagues
compared to those who do not use this tool. Significantly, the benefits of this generative AI are more pronounced for employees with colleagues from diverse functional areas. Furthermore, we show that increased attention mediated the relationship between generative AI use and improved collaborative performance: employees who garnered greater attention through generative AI achieved higher collaborative outcomes relative to their counterparts. However, we find no evidence that generative AI enhanced employees’ idea generation performance, measured as their ability to produce feasible ideas for pr…

SOSS Seminar | The Psychology of Ecology: How Environments Influence Culture and Stereotyping
School of Social Sciences
Family. Crowds. Resources. Unpredictability. All are aspects of the environment we live in. Each uniquely shapes our psychology. Drawing upon ideas across the social and biological sciences, I present multiple lines of work that examine how chronic environments—or ecologies—not only influence a wide range of our own behaviors, including self-construal, social identity, relationship styles, and prosocial behavior, but also affect how we think about other people based on their ecologies. The work has broad implications for our understanding of the origins of human cultural psychological variation (i.e. as an outcome of the different ecologies cultural groups live in) and social stereotypes (i.e. as an outcome of our beliefs about the ecologies that different racial groups or family structures live in), opening new domains of work and rethinking existing literature.

Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
This talk mainly focuses on the theoretical and structural analysis of HR DD laws (Human Rights Due Diligence laws), which is becoming and being more broadly recognized by not only scholars but also national legislators as well as private sectors as a kind of global trend. This trend has been crystalized at the EU CSDDD (Corporate Sustainable Due Diligence Directive) in 2024 and now under the consideration of amendments.
It points out some deficits, or at least problematic points of CSDDD and other national domestic DD laws, taken under analytical scrutiny as exemplar cases, and give rise to questions about this global trend of DD laws in general, in terms of legal mechanism for regulating GVCs (Global Value Chains) and for improving the protection of human rights, environmental interests, and workers’ rights.

SOSS Seminar | Exporting Ideologies? The impact of open source Chinese large language models in East Asia
School of Social Sciences
This study examines how large language models (LLMs) developed in China are beginning to exert influence not only within China but also beyond its borders. Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, the Chinese government has rapidly promoted the development of the generative AI industry while simultaneously strengthening regulation and censorship. In 2023, the Chinese government established a clear legal regulatory framework for LLMs. Since then, regulations on the outputs of these models have become more stringent. Open-source models developed by companies like Alibaba and Deepseek are gaining influence across borders. According to the author’s assessment, even Chinese-language LLMs fine-tuned for the Japanese market still retain characteristics of output regulation based on domestic Chinese legal frameworks. This study highlights the potential for ideologies and mindsets to spill across borders through open-source LLMs.

School of Social Sciences
Past theorizing suggests that minimal social interactions and close relationships represent two important paths to belonging and well-being. In our talk, we showcase research that examines these paths both independently and in tandem. The first part focuses on minimal social interactions—brief encounters with strangers and acquaintances such as greeting, thanking, or exchanging small talk. Drawing on diverse methods and populations, this work shows that even fleeting social exchanges can meaningfully boost mood and life satisfaction, particularly when close connections are strained. The second part turns to romantic relationships, integrating daily-diary, longitudinal, and observational data to examine predictors of relational health: day-to-day responsiveness, positive relational experiences, and reactivity to a partner’s daily stressors. This research demonstrates how partners’ reactions to everyday experiences shape attachment security and relationship quality over time. Together, these lines of work offer…

Hybrid Learning Approaches for Recommendation: From Collaborative Signals to Language Understanding
School of Computing and Information Systems
Recommender systems play a vital role in modern digital platforms by helping users navigate vast information spaces. Central to their effectiveness is the ability to learn rich latent representations of users and items. However, traditional collaborative filtering methods often struggle with data sparsity and inscrutable latent spaces. To address these limitations, this dissertation explores novel representation learning strategies that integrate user reviews and leverage advances in contrastive learning and pre-trained language models.
The first part of this work introduces a Review-centric Contrastive Alignment Framework for Recommendation. Unlike previous review-aware models that treat reviews as auxiliary features, ReCAFR incorporates reviews directly into the representation learning process. It aligns user, item, and review representations within a unified latent space through two self-supervised contrastive strategies. In the second part, the dissertation bridges the gap between traditional collaborati…

We develop a unique dataset, the first-ever of its kind, by leveraging the US Census Bureau’s LEHD program and various big textual data sources, to examine the factors influencing the compensation and career trajectories of US active equity mutual fund managers. We find that managers’ compensation is primarily determined by assets under management (AUM), with return performance directly influencing bonuses beyond its impact on AUM. Despite not aligning with client interests, fund flows significantly affect manager compensation and career outcomes. Large fund outflows increase a manager’s likelihood of job turnover (with a substantial decline in compensation) by 4 percentage points.

SOSS - SEA Seminar | Destination cities in Asia: Interfacing migration and social mobility among urban middle classes
School of Social Sciences
Long-standing scholarship on migration and cities has concentrated on migrants’ arrival, integration, and place-making practices, and how population movements impact urban areas. The MigrationRhythms project complements these studies by investigating how urban destinations figure in migration trajectories and quests for upward social mobility in Asia, highlighting the role of the urban in migration-development connections. This presentation draws from a multi-sited study on migration and middle-class families in Asian cities, analysing 106 family history interviews with residents in Hanoi, Manila, Karachi, and Mumbai. I discuss three key insights from our findings: first, the four cities may be labelled as ‘destination cities,’ with varying roles in internal/international migration trajectories. Second, they are also spaces that can mediate families’ upward social mobility. Third, we find that property ownership and residential mobility play crucial roles in migration-social mobility interactions. Our finding…

School of Social Sciences
Stuck at Home examines how the Philippine state and its aspiring migrants negotiated the meaning of immobility amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In this pioneering book, Yasmin Y. Ortiga studies the narratives that emerged around two groups of Filipino workers: nurses banned from leaving the country and cruise workers who returned home after COVID-19 shut down the travel industry. The book emphasizes the high stakes in telling the "right" story of immobility to a nation built around emigration—one that provides a compelling rationale for who deserves to move and who can be forced to stay.

Bibliometrics and Research Impact 101
Library
Curious about what all those research metrics really mean—and when (or whether) you should care? This 90‑minute workshop is a practical, jargon-light introduction to the world of bibliometrics and citation indicators, designed especially for researchers who want to make sense of the numbers often found in dashboards, grant reports, or journal rankings. We’ll walk through the big ones—think citation counts, Journal Impact Factor, h‑index, field‑normalized scores, and altmetrics—and unpack what they actually measure (and just as importantly, what they don’t). We’ll also touch lightly on emerging signals of broader impact like policy citations, mentions in patents, or appearances in course syllabi—just enough to know what’s out there without going down the rabbit hole.

Dentons Rodyk Dialogue 2025
Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia

The Dentons Rodyk Dialogue 2025 seeks to examine the future of capital markets, exploring how changes in capital markets and fundraising methods may affect Singapore’s position as an international financial centre. It will also discuss different legal, market and institutional reforms that can enhance the international competitiveness of Singapore’s capital markets.

STARI Research Seminar - Implementing Pillar 2 in New Zealand: A 'Novel' Approach
Centre for Cross Border Commercial Law in Asia
In this seminar, Professor Sawyer will be exploring a key component of the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) 2.0, namely the implementation of Pillar 2. In particular his focus will be on the method of implementation into domestic legislation, focussing on the unusual approach taken by New Zealand to legislate via incorporation of specific OECD materials, rather than to draft specific legislation (the more typical approach such as in the United Kingdom). The presentation will commence with background on New Zealand’s overall approach to tax policy and legislation drafting, commenting on the growing use of incorporation by reference in NZ’s tax legislation (including the most recent use through implementing the Global Anti-Base Erosion (GloBE) Model Rules). The presentation will also explore the implications and issues associated with this drafting style approach (contrasting it with a more ‘conventional approach’).
Fee(s): Complimentary Admission. Successful registrant will receive a confirmation email by 11 August 2025 from ccla@smu.edu.sg to confirm your registration. Contact: ccla@smu.edu.sg. Speaker Details: Dr Adrian Sawyer is Professor of Taxation at the University of Canterbury (UC) in New Zealand and Extraordinary Professor at the University of South Africa.
