Valuing Subscription-Based Businesses Using Publicly Disclosed Customer Data

Valuing Subscription-Based Businesses Using Publicly Disclosed Customer Data ArXiv ID: ssrn-2701093 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract The growth of subscription-based commerce has seen a change in the types of data firms report to external shareholders. More than ever before, companies are dis Keywords: Subscription Economics, Financial Reporting, Corporate Disclosure, Revenue Recognition Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 4.5/10 Empirical Rigor: 6.5/10 Quadrant: Street Traders Why: The paper employs moderate statistical modeling (e.g., retention, acquisition models) and valuation mathematics (DCF) but is heavily grounded in applying these models to real-world, publicly available data from companies like Dish Network and Sirius XM, focusing on practical implementation and backtesting against disclosed metrics. flowchart TD A["Research Goal: Value Subscription Businesses Using Public Customer Data"] --> B{"Key Methodology"} B --> C["Data: Public Disclosures<br/>Subscribers, Churn, ARPU, LTV"] C --> D["Computational Model<br/>Discounted Cash Flow DCF"] D --> E["Estimate Customer Lifetime Value<br/>Model Revenue & Churn Dynamics"] E --> F["Key Findings/Outcomes"] F --> G["1.

SOX after Ten Years: A Multidisciplinary Review

SOX after Ten Years: A Multidisciplinary Review ArXiv ID: ssrn-2379731 “View on arXiv” Authors: Unknown Abstract We review and assess research findings from 120 papers in accounting, finance, and law to evaluate the impact of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We describe significan Keywords: Sarbanes-Oxley Act, corporate disclosure, audit quality, regulatory compliance, accounting standards, Equities Complexity vs Empirical Score Math Complexity: 2.0/10 Empirical Rigor: 3.0/10 Quadrant: Philosophers Why: The paper is a literature review of existing research on SOX, discussing concepts and evidence without presenting new mathematical models or complex formulas. Its empirical work relies on synthesizing findings from other studies rather than conducting original backtests or data analysis. flowchart TD A["Research Goal:<br>SOX impact after 10 years"] --> B["Methodology:<br>Multidisciplinary Review"] B --> C["Data: 120 Papers<br>(Accounting, Finance, Law)"] C --> D["Process:<br>Review & Assess Findings"] D --> E{"Analysis<br>Focus Areas"} E --> F["Accounting<br>Disclosure Standards"] E --> G["Finance<br>Equities & Market"] E --> H["Law<br>Regulatory Compliance"] F & G & H --> I["Key Outcomes:<br>Audit Quality & SOX Impact"]

It discusses cost-benefit analysis conceptually but lacks deep statistical modeling, code, or backtesting, resulting in low scores on both axes. flowchart TD A["Research Goal: Assess SOX Impact<br>after 10 Years"] --> B["Data Collection: 120 Papers<br>Finance, Accounting, Law"] B --> C["Multidisciplinary Review"] C --> D{"Evaluate SOX Impact"} D --> E["Audit Quality &<br>Regulatory Compliance"] D --> F["Corporate Disclosure &<br>Accounting Standards"] D --> G["Equities &<br>Market Effects"] E --> H["Key Findings: SOX Improved<br>Credibility & Transparency"] F --> H G --> H H --> I["Outcome: Comprehensive<br>Multidisciplinary Assessment"]
