This paper studies the provision of deposit insurance along with liquidation decisions without commitment in an economy with heterogenous households. The analysis separates control of the balance sheet of a failed bank from the provision of deposit insurance. We study the factors that determine orderly liquidation and the effects of this policy on the prospect of bank runs. We also study the pr...

Scandium is classified as a critical raw material by the European Union. Its beneficiation from various primary and secondary sources currently being studied under several research development projects. Due to geochemical characteristics of Sc, its enrichment ore grades geological processes scarce. Potential new are investigated respond expected increasing demand for this rare earth metal. The ...

Abstract Long-wave infrared (LWIR) spectra can be interpreted using a Random Forest machine learning approach to predict mineral species and abundances. In this study, hydrothermally altered carbonate rock core samples from the Fourmile Carlin-type Au discovery, Nevada, were analyzed by LWIR micro-X-ray fluorescence (μXRF). Linear programming-derived abundances quantified μXRF data used as trai...

This paper undertakes a simple general equilibrium analysis of the consequences of deposit insurance programs, the way in which they are priced, and the way in which they fund revenue shortfalls. We show that the central issue in analyzing deposit insurance is how the government will make up any FDIC losses. Deposit insurance premia matter only in so far as they affect the level of implied FDIC...
