Anticipation Hypotheses Clause Samples

Anticipation Hypotheses. ‌ Next, I test the hypotheses regarding anticipation, or the theory that protests and repression are more likely to occur in the month immediately prior to the beginning of the agreement. The mechanism in this case could be that protesters try to prevent a program from being implemented or try to get the government to renege on its deal with the IMF. In order to examine these hypotheses, I first create an indicator variable that takes the value of “1” when the month is immediately prior to the start of an IMF program. I then subset my data to compare these “anticipatory” months with the rest of the control months (months not under an IMF program). The results from the OLS and fixed effects regression models indicate that the month immediately prior to the beginning of a program is correlated with more protests (23 or 10, depending on the model) and more repression (10 or 6.5 more repressive events). These results are significant at the 99% confidence level. At first blush, it would appear that there is some evidence for the hypotheses that protests and repression increase in the month prior to the implementation of an IMF program, perhaps because citizens and governments anticipate the negative effects of that program. However, I also ran a matching model, as before, which produced starkly different results. There are two caveats with using matching for testing this set of hypotheses. First, the sample size is much smaller because there are only 210 anticipatory months in the dataset, meaning that there are approximately a tenth of the number of matched pairs, compared to matching to test the backlash hypotheses. The second caveat is that covariate balance is much poorer for these hypotheses – see the figure below. Notice that though the blue line (representing the absolute mean difference between the observations for the adjusted pairs) is to the left of the red line (absolute mean difference for the unadjusted pairs), both lines are still far away from the target value of 0. This means that comparison the two groups may not be appropriate and may produced biased results.

  • Certain Excise Taxes Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Employee is a “disqualified individual” (as defined in Section 280G(c) of the Code), and the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement, together with any other payments and benefits which Employee has the right to receive from the Company or any of its affiliates, would constitute a “parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(2) of the Code), then the payments and benefits provided for in this Agreement shall be either (a) reduced (but not below zero) so that the present value of such total amounts and benefits received by Employee from the Company or any of its affiliates shall be one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s “base amount” (as defined in Section 280G(b)(3) of the Code) and so that no portion of such amounts and benefits received by Employee shall be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code or (b) paid in full, whichever produces the better net after-tax position to Employee (taking into account any applicable excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code and any other applicable taxes). The reduction of payments and benefits hereunder, if applicable, shall be made by reducing, first, payments or benefits to be paid in cash hereunder in the order in which such payment or benefit would be paid or provided (beginning with such payment or benefit that would be made last in time and continuing, to the extent necessary, through to such payment or benefit that would be made first in time) and, then, reducing any benefit to be provided in-kind hereunder in a similar order. The determination as to whether any such reduction in the amount of the payments and benefits provided hereunder is necessary shall be made by the Company in good faith. If a reduced payment or benefit is made or provided and through error or otherwise that payment or benefit, when aggregated with other payments and benefits from the Company or any of its affiliates used in determining if a “parachute payment” exists, exceeds one dollar ($1.00) less than three times Employee’s base amount, then Employee shall immediately repay such excess to the Company upon notification that an overpayment has been made. Nothing in this Section 24 shall require the Company to be responsible for, or have any liability or obligation with respect to, Employee’s excise tax liabilities under Section 4999 of the Code.
