Central banks and other policy institutions have a long history of using macroeconomic models to help prepare forecasts and to quantify the economic consequences of various policies. Likewise, private sector firms have long depended on models to summarize these complex interactions succinctly and to evaluate the likelihood of specific macroeconomic outcomes; this is especially true for financia...

We empirically examine financial institutions’ motivations to take systematic bad-tail risk in the form of sponsorship of credit-arbitrage asset-backed commercial paper vehicles. A run on debt issued by such vehicles played a key role in causing and propagating the liquidity crisis that began in the summer of 2007. We find evidence consistent with important roles for both ownermanager agency pr...

Our long-term goal is to understand the ecology of phytoplankton inhabiting coastal shelves, upwelling areas, fjords and banks. We are especially interested in ways in which species-specific properties, including colony size and shape (diatoms) and motility (dinoflagellates) interact with physical mixing processes to regulate spatio-temporal distribution patterns. We wish to understand these pr...

The banking sectors in several Central and Eastern European countries are characterized by a two-tier structure, in which a few large banks dominate the deposit market but are very inactive in the loan market with private borrowers, while many small banks engage in lending but have only small shares of the deposit market. The large banks act as net lenders in the interbank market, while small b...

The management ofinstruments, especially if centralized into one analytical environment, can demand commercial expertise as well as scientific knowledge. Considerable quantities of analytical data have to be acquired, manipulated, compiled and reported, in addition to such separate administrative functions as operational budgets, cost control, staff functions, external communications, materials...

GenLOT coding has been shown an effective technique for seismic data compression, especially when compared to block-based algorithms (such as JPEG), or to wavelets. The transforms remove statistical redundancy and permit efficient compression, when used with advanced encoding techniques, such as the Embedded Zerotree Coding framework. In this work we derive a model for seismic data based on aut...
