The stochastic full balance sheet model

The Technology Balance Sheet

Just as it is essential to understand an organization's financial health, it is equally necessary to understand and measure its technological health. The first section of the chapter describes the technology balance sheet, a useful approach to measuring a company's technology. The second section presents a number of classic technology-related flaws, ranging from requiring infinite technology (i...

Situation Semantics: the ontological balance sheet

Abstract. One of the important challenges facing NL semantics in the early 21st century is to theoretically underpin analysis and generation of conversational interaction. I start by considering certain requirements a semantic framework needs in order to be viable for this task, with reference to a benchmark example. One fundamental requirement is the provision of an ontology which incorporates...

Balance Sheet Adjustments in the 2008 Crisis

We measure how securitized assets, including mortgage-backed securities and other assetbacked securities, have shifted across financial institutions over this crisis and how the availability of financing has accommodated such shifts. Sectors dependent on repo financing – in particular, the hedge fund and broker-dealer sector – have reduced asset holdings, while the commercial banking sector, wh...

Mass balance of the Antarctic ice sheet.

The Antarctic contribution to sea-level rise has long been uncertain. While regional variability in ice dynamics has been revealed, a picture of mass changes throughout the continental ice sheet is lacking. Here, we use satellite radar altimetry to measure the elevation change of 72% of the grounded ice sheet during the period 1992-2003. Depending on the density of the snow giving rise to the o...
