Purpose – The “supply-side effect” brought about by the imperfection of the capital market has increasingly been concerned. The purpose of this paper is to study how will the uncertainty of equity financing brought about by the equity financing regulations in emerging capital market affect...

Recent studies have coupled blade element momentum (BEM) theory with the Reynolds Averaged Navier–Stokes equations in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, as the BEM-CFD method to analyse the flows in marine current turbines is with much less computational resources. The accuracy of...

This paper considers the problem of estimating a simultaneous spatial autoregressive model (SSAR). We propose using the quasi maximum likelihood method to estimate the model. The asymptotic properties of the maximum likelihood estimator including consistency and limiting distribution are...

This paper reports on the development of a two-dimensional, fully nonlinear CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) model with dynamic mesh to analyze the performance of a heave-only floating OWC (oscillating water column) device. The model was validated against previous experimental, analytical and...

Using a 1995–2004 panel data of Chinese urban residents, we investigate the dynamics of income distribution in cities. According to Kernel estimates of the relative income distribution of Chinese cities, we find that: (1) the national across-city distribution of per capita GDP exhibits an...

This paper extends the jump detection method based on bipower variation to identify realized jumps on financial markets and to estimate parametrically the jump intensity, mean, and variance. Finite sample evidence suggests that the jump parameters can be accurately estimated and that the...

This paper proposes a method for constructing a volatility risk premium, or investor risk aversion, index. The method is intuitive and simple to implement, relying on the sample moments of the recently popularized model-free realized and option-implied volatility measures. A small-scale Monte...

This paper extends the approach of measuring and stress-testing the systemic risk of a banking sector in Huang, Zhou, and Zhu (2009) to identifying various sources of financial instability and to allocating systemic risk to individual financial institutions. The systemic risk measure, defined as...
