Gross loan flows
No full textChanges in net lending hide the much larger and more variable gross lending flows. We present a series of stylized facts about gross loan flows and how they vary over time, bank size, and the business cycle. We look at both the intensive (increases and decreases) and extensive (entry and exits) margins. We compare these results with the output from a simple stochastic search model.Bank loans ; Business cycles

Particles and Fields in Superfluids: Insights from the Two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii Equation
No full textWe study the dynamics of active particles in two-dimensional superfluids at temperature , for a variety of initial configurations, by carrying out extensive direct-numerical-simulations of the two-dimensional, Galerkin-truncated Gross-Pitaevskii equation. Our study elucidates the interplay of particles and fields, in both simple and turbulent flows. We show that particle collisions can be inelastic, if the repulsive interactions between particles is weak, and elastic otherwise. We show that assemblies of many particles and vortices yield turbulent spatiotemporal evolutions
Mutual-Friction Coefficients in Two-Dimensional Superfluids: From the Gross-Pitaevskii equation to the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov Two-fluid Model
No full textWe start from the two-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and develop algorithms for the ab-initio determination of the temperature (T) dependence of the mutual-friction coefficients, α and α, and the normal-fluid density Pn, which appear as parameters in the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) two-fluid model for a superfluid. In the second part of our study, we elucidate the statistical properties of two-dimensional, homogeneous, isotropic superfluid turbulence in the simplified HVBK model, with values for the mutual-friction coefficients that are comparable to those we obtain from the first part of our study

U.S. commercial bank lending through 2008:Q4: new evidence from gross credit flows
No full textHow have U.S. commercial banks responded during the current financial crisis? What was hiding behind the dynamics of aggregate commercial bank loans through the end of 2008? We use balance sheet data for the entire population of commercial banks to construct quarterly gross credit flows (credit expansion and credit contraction series) for the U.S. banking system during the period 1999:Q1-2008:Q4 and provide new evidence on changes in lending. We show that credit expansion, as defined in this paper, began declining during the first half of 2008 while credit contraction began steeply increasing only between the third and fourth quarters of 2008. Until then net credit growth was below trend but positive and not dissimilar to the 1980 and 2001 recessions. However, between the third and fourth quarter credit contraction grew larger than credit expansion across all types of loans (real estate, individual, commercial, and industrial loans) and for the largest banks. On the contrary, smaller banks continued to display positive net credit growth. Once we include 2008:Q4 data, the cyclical properties of our series most resemble the beginning of the 1991 recession and the intensification of the Savings and Loan crisis.Financial crises ; Business cycles ; Credit
Understanding intraday credit in large-value payment systems
No full textThis article explains how large-value payment systems work, using either gross or net settlement. The author discusses risk control in a real-time gross settlement system and analyzes the pricing of credit to provide intraday liquidity. She argues for distinguishing between consumption/investment debt and payment debt. A theoretical model suggests that, under the assumption that there are no opportunities for intraday optimization of consumption and production, the risk-free rate on intraday payment credit should be zero. This is because the cost of intraday liquidity is a transaction cost of the underlying goods/assets trade and, thus, should be minimized.Payment systems ; Credit ; Debt ; Liquidity (Economics)

Gross Job Flows in Ukraine: Size, Ownership and Trade Effects
No full textThis paper documents and analyses gross job flows and their determinants in Ukraine using a data set of more than 2200 Ukrainian firms operating in manufacturing and non-manufacturing for the years 1998-2000. Job destruction dominates job creation in both 1999 and 2000. Another clear-cut result of our analysis is the strong positive effect of new private firms on net employment growth. We also find an inverse relationship between job reallocation and size for both manufacturing and non-manufacturing, while only in the latter sector is employment growth inversely related with size. The main focus of the paper is the effect of trade flows on employment adjustment in manufacturing. Our results show that both employment growth and job reallocation at the firm and two-digit sector level are affected by strong exposure to import competition and product market competition in export markets. These effects are more pronounced when we consider trade flows to the world at large and to the EU than when the analysis is based on trade flows to the CIS.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/39935/3/wp550.pd
