The Determinants of Credit Spread Changes.
- Journal of Finance
, 2001
"... ABSTRACT Using dealer's quotes and transactions prices on straight industrial bonds, we investigate the determinants of credit spread changes. Variables that should in theory determine credit spread changes have rather limited explanatory power. Further, the residuals from this regression are ..."

is determined by computing its expected (under the risk-neutral measure) future cash flows discounted at the risk-free rate. As the credit spread CS(t) is uniquely defined through: (1) the price of a debt claim, (2) this debt claim's contractual cash flows, and (3) the (appropriate) risk-free rate, we can
Coq: The world’s best macro assembler?
"... We describe a Coq formalization of a subset of the x86 architecture. One emphasis of the model is brevity: using dependent types, type classes and notation we give the x86 semantics a makeover that counters its reputation for baroqueness. We model bits, bytes, and memory concretely using functions t ..."

. Ordinary Coq definitions serve as a powerful “macro ” feature for everything from simple conditionals and loops to stack-allocated local variables and procedures with parameters. Assembly code can be assembled within Coq, producing a sequence of hex bytes. The assembler enjoys a correctness theorem
Self-determination and persistence in a real-life setting: Toward a motivational model of high school dropout.
- Journal of Personality and Social Psychology,
, 1997
"... The purpose of this study was to propose and test a motivational model of high school dropout. The model posits that teachers, parents, and the school administration's behaviors toward students influence students' perceptions of competence and autonomy. The less autonomy supportive the so ..."

Whom You Know Matters: Venture Capital Networks and Investment Performance,

Macro-scale and even international institutions (Determinant 3) could certainly matter even at a micro level, especially in determining how decisions among various adaptation
Credit Card Fraud Detection with a Neural-Network,”
- Proc. 27th Hawaii Int‟l Conf. System Sciences: Information Systems: Decision Support and Knowledge-Based Systems,
, 1994
"... Abstract Using data from a credit card issuer, a neural network based fraud detection system was trained on a large sample of labelled credit card account transactions and tested on a holdout data set that consisted of all account activity over a subsequent two-month period of time. The neural netw ..."

The study was designed to simulate the effectiveness of a fraud dewtion system deployed as a postprocessing step to the bank's
Dynamics of New Science “Macro” Leadership: Strategy, Microcoevolution, Distributed Intelligence, Complexity

However, existing languages for automation via tactics either (a) provide no way to specify the behavior of tactics within the base logic of the accompanying theorem prover, or (b) rely on adva ..."

We present Mtac, a lightweight but powerful extension to Coq that supports dependently typed tactic programming. Mtac tactics have access to all the features of ordinary Coq programming, as well as a new set
