An important concern is that algorithms can inadvertently discriminate against minority groups and reinforce existing inequality. Typically, the worry is that when classification algorithms are trained on a dataset that itself reflects bias this may reinforce bias. However, in the world of...

We hypothesize, and examine empirically, two types of association between organization capital and firm life cycle. Are firms with high organization capital more likely to be in a particular stage of their life cycle than firms with low organization capital? Are firms' transitions from one life...

Filtered log-periodogram regression estimation of the fractional differencing parameter d is considered. Asymptotic properties are derived and the effect of filtering on d is investigated. It is shown that the estimator by Geweke and Porter-Hudak (1983) can be improved significantly using a...

Interest rate risk is the exposure of a bank's financial condition to adverse movements in interest rates. Changes in interest rates affect a bank's earnings by changing its net interest income and also affect the underlying value of the bank's assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet...

The paper aims to investigate the role of capital adequacy in the economics of banking firms. The first section reviews the literature. The second section evaluates the different drivers of the bank capital regulation

The paper provides a theoretical analysis of the interest rate risk in banking through a systemic approach that is known in literature as “asset & liability management” approach.The paper provides also an empirical investigation on the exposure of banks to interest rate risk, using three...

This paper analyzes the vertical disintegration of the bank loan origination value chain. This paper argues that in order to capture the drivers underlying the dynamic evolution of the vertical scope of bank loan origination business models, the above perspectives must be combined and further...

In this study, a model for strategic planning based on artificial neural networks is presented. This proposed artificial neural network model goes beyond projections and statistical analysis. Based, on an algorithm, the proposed model offers strategy optimization and assists management in...

The paper analyses the different approaches to measure the impact of funding and market liquidity risk in the economics and management of banks. The paper provides also an analysis of the organisational implications of the asset and liability management perspective of liquidity risk. Liquidity...

In this paper we examine foreign location choices of the top 100 US multinational corporations (MNCs) in 1980 and 2000. We first ask whether there has been a change in MNC foreign location choice in this two-decade period. Second, we explore the underlying reasons of location change by focusing...
