Paying dividends … exposes banks to stricter market discipline, then decreases the risk-taking behaviors of bank management compared with non …-payers, consistent with the Dividend-Stability Channel.

This paper proposes a data-driven approach, by means of an Artificial Neural Network (ANN), to value financial options and to calculate implied volatilities with the aim of accelerating the corresponding numerical methods. With ANNs being universal function approximators, this method trains an...

While the main conceptual issue related to deposit insurances is the moral hazard risk, the main technical issue is … inaccurate calibration of the implied volatility.
