When trying to identify the author of a book, a paper, or a letter, the object is to detect a style that distinguishes one author from another. With recent developments in artificial intelligence, chat bots sometimes play the role of the text authors. The focus of this study is to investigate the change in chat bot linguistic style over time and its effect on authorship attribution. The study s...

The paper improves a previously proposed axiomatic setting for qualitative decision under uncertainty in the von Neumann and Morgenstern' style, where only ordinal scales are required for assessing uncertainty and utility. A deeper analysis shows that only four axioms are needed, postulating i) that the choice is governed by a complete preorder, ii) that the decision maker is uncertainty-averse...

We find that the impact of monetary policy on lending is stronger for banks with less liquid balance sheets—i.e., banks with lower ratios of securities to assets. Moreover, this pattern is largely attributable to the smaller banks, those in t...

Authorship attribution is the task of identifying the author of a given text. The main concern of this task is to define an appropriate characterization of documents that captures the writing style of authors. This paper proposes a new method for authorship attribution supported on the idea that a proper identification of authors must consider both stylistic and topic features of texts. This me...

Rather than examining the effect of the pessimistic explanatory style on an outcome variable reflecting a single domain, I studied the effects of multiple learned-helplessness risk factors on behavioral, cognitive, and affective variables. Undergraduate students completed the Learned Helplessness Scale (Quinless & McDermott-Nelson, 1988) as a measure of their expectation of uncontrollability an...
