This is an important problem withmany applications, e.g., in paleontology, where we chronologically order fossil sites by minimizing Lazarus counts.We present the experimental results of our method on paleontological data, and show that it outperforms existing ap-proaches. The techniques developed here are general and can be abstracted for mining partial orders in any setting. 1.

Recent research on corporate governance has documented large differences between countries in ownership concentration in publicly traded firms, in the breadth and depth of financial markets, and in the access of firms to external finance. We suggest that there is a common element
