Using the systemic risk measure, we examine the interconnectedness between banks and insurers with Granger...</p>

The purpose of this study is to analyze the securitization of longevity risk with an emphasis on longevity risk modeling and longevity bond premium pricing. Various longevity derivatives have been proposed, and the capital market has experienced one unsuccessful attempt by the European...

The effects of temporally correlated noise on the conservation growth are studied via the Flory-type approach introduced by Hentschel and Family (Phys. Rev. Lett. 66, (1991) 1982). This phenomenological equation contains the Kardar–Parisi–Zhang, Sun–Guo–Grant, and molecular-beam epitaxy...

The self-consistent mode-coupling approximation of Colaiori and Moore [Phys. Rev. Lett. 86 (2001) 3946] is generalized to the analysis of the Sun–Guo–Grant equation to investigate its dynamic scaling properties in the strong-coupling regime. The corresponding values of the dynamic exponents...

Is the right amount of effort exerted in multiperson tournaments where contestants have two different levels of initial endowments (termed "favorites" and "underdogs")? We develop theoretical predictions for the level of effort and the effect of varying the prize structure. We test these...

In this paper, a detailed mathematical procedure is developed to estimate daily collectible radiation on single tube of all-glass evacuated tube solar collectors based on solar geometry, knowledge of two-dimensional radiation transfer. Results shows that the annual collectible radiation on a...
