Bank Capital and Misconduct Incentives - Supplementary Calculations
No full textThis file accompanies the research paper Bank Capital and Misconduct Incentives. It provides numerical calculations that (i) verify the positive slope of the h(m) function (ii) show that deposit market misconduct by the incumbent increases the challenger bank’s equilibrium loans, (iii) prove that positive and negative marginal effects of the capital requirement on deposit market misconduct incentives are possible, (iv) show that Proposition 1 is neither necessary nor sufficient for the corresponding result in the deposit market, and (v) provide supporting calculations for the graphs in Section 5.1 of the paper.These supplementary calculations were produced in Wolfram Mathematica.

Bank Capital and Misconduct Incentives
No full textThis paper studies large banks' incentives to engage in misconduct by abusing their dominant position in the market for loans and by mis-selling an add-on financial product to depositors. We draw new connections between stability-focused prudential regulation and misconduct by studying the impact of higher capital requirements on misconduct incentives. Higher capital requirements are more likely to increase misconduct incentives when incumbents enjoy a significant equity funding cost advantage over challenger banks. These results highlight the importance of regulatory coordination in the areas of bank conduct and financial stability.</p
Cartel Leniency and Settlements: A Joint Perspective - Supplementary Calculations
No full textThis calculations file accompanies the research paper Cartel Leniency and Settlements: A Joint Perspective. It develops numerical examples to demonstrate the various action choices that firms can make with respect to collusion. In particular, it highlights the cases in which colluding firms would choose to apply for leniency if investigated by a competition authority, and cases in which they would instead take up the option to settle their case.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
