This paper seeks to investigate the determinants of banking network profitability in Iran from 2007 to 2012. The results of our study indicate that both bank-specific factors and macroeconomic factors influence banks’ profitability in Iran. Results confirm that bank profitability is significantly influenced by investment to total assets ratio, non-performing loans to total assets ratio, a...

Bernanke (2005) hypothesized that a "global savings glut" was causing large trade imbalances. However, we show that the global savings rates did not show a robust upward trend during the relevant period. Moreover, if there had been a global savings glut there should have been a large investment boom in the countries that imported capital. Instead, those countries experienced consumption booms. ...

We present a model incorporating both social and economic components, and analyze their interaction. The notion of a social asset, an attribute that has value only because of the social institutions governing society, is introduced. In the basic model, agents match on the basis of income and unproductive attributes. An attribute has value in some equilibrium social institutions (matching patter...

Efficient ray tracing of subdivision surfaces is an important problem in production rendering, and for interactive applications in the near future. The current hardware trends for both CPUs and GPUs suggest that compute power is outpacing bandwidth. Despite this, current approaches for ray tracing subdivision surfaces favor geometry caches or full pre-tessellation. We demonstrate that directly ...

Theory presents two channels through which profit sharing can increase worker training. First, it directly increases training by alleviating hold-up problems and/or encouraging co-workers to provide training. Second, it indirectly increases training by reducing worker separation and increasing training investment’s amortization period. This paper provides the first attempt at separately identif...
