The exquisite corporealities of Leibniz: performance as embodied practice of thought and documentary praxis by Spackman, Helen

“…Extending Ernst's and my long-standing engagement with issues of alterity, 'home' and 'belonging', our more widely collaborative activities as LEIBNIZ have developed to specifically address the polemics of grafting personal with communal and political identities and the often problematic relation of such, both to civil and human rights and the wider ecologies of which we are each formed! …”

Income inequality and wealth concentration as a root cause of the subprime crisis by Goda, Thomas

“…The major contributions of this dissertation are however (i) to provide empirical evidence about the negative impact of investor demand on US long-term bond yields in the pre-crisis period, which gives support to the hypothesis that the increasing global demand for safe assets led to a 'search for yield' by investors; (ii) to present estimates about the specific contribution of high net worth individuals to this negative impact; and (iii) to show that after having helped to cause a yield problem in the major US debt markets, high net worth individuals (via hedge funds) continued to be a major source of the pressure on US banks to resolve this yield problem through the mass production of CDOs.…”

When the weak survives taking advantage of rivalry between stronger opponents? by Kersmo, Tadesse Biru

“…The war between the State of Eritrea, the Federal Republic of Ethiopia, and the Tigray Liberation Front can be analysed using this game model. So long, as there is peace between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the chances of TPLF survival are extremely low.…”

Microcredit in China: Recommendations for Policy Makers by Geraci, Michele, Luan, Mengna, Dixon, Chris

“…Our main belief is that while the various initiatives of several NGOs operating on a non-profit basis in China are laudable and successful, even within the limited scope in which they operate, a true development of microcredit in China that can make a real impact on the vast number of mid-low income residents can only occur if a double-bottom-line approach is implemented. That is both serving the social mission of helping poor people and establishing financially viable lending entities. …”

An investigation of rhinovirus infection on cellular uptake of poly (glycerol-adipate) nanoparticles by Abo-zeid, Yasmin, Williams, Gareth, Touabi, Lila, McLean, Gary R.

“…We argue that the diverse endocytic pathways among the different cell lines, together with changes in virus nature, size, and entry mechanism are responsible for these differences. …”

Testing for convergence in stock markets : a non-linear factor approach by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Erdogan, Burcu, Kuzin, Vladimir

“…As a first step, we use the Stock and Watson (1998) procedure to filter the data in order to extract the long-run component of the series; then, following Phillips and Sul (2007), we estimate the relative transition parameters. …”

Interest and exchange rate risk and stock returns : a multivariate GARCH-M modelling approach by Beirne, John, Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Spagnolo, Nicola

“…The econometric framework is a four-variate GARCH-in-mean model, which incorporates long-and short-term interest rates in turn. We find in most cases a positive effect of stock market returns on mean returns in each sector; by contrast, interest rates and exchange rates have a significant effect only in a few cases, respectively negative and without a clear sign pattern. …”
