Does Reputation Talk? The Matching of Underwriters and Issuing Firms

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of reputation in the matching of underwriters and issuing firms in the straight corporate bond market in Japan. While the existing literature already investigates how the issuing firm chooses its underwriter at the time of issue, this paper uses initial and seasoned issues of straight corporate bonds to examine how the matching of underwriters an...

Region Matching by Optimal Fuzzy Dissimilarity

To extract region features independent on translation, rotation and scaling of object, a new coordinate system is established. The origin of the new coordinate system can be set at the mass center of the object. The new axis ' x and ' y are based on the main inertia axes. The size of the object can be identified by its minimal constraint rectangle called feature rectangle which has minimal area...

Optimal Multi-Scale Matching

The coarse-to-fine search strategy is extensively used in current reported research. However, it has the same problems as any hill climbing algorithm, most importantly, it often finds local instead of global minima. Drawing upon the artificial intelligence literature, we applied an optimal graph search, namely A*, to the problem. Using real stereo and video test sets, we compared the A* method ...

An Optimal Matching Problem

Suppose we are given three goods, X,Y , and Z. They are not homogeneous, but come in different qualities, x ∈ X , y ∈ Y and z ∈ Z. Goods X and Y are used for the sole purpose of producing good Z, which we are interested in. To obtain one piece of good Z, one has to assemble one piece of good X and one piece of good Y . More precisely, one can obtain a piece of quality z by assembling one piece ...
