We present a 25‐stage reconstruction of the ice‐flow pattern evolution of the Scandinavian Ice Sheet based on mapping and analysis of ~240 000 subglacial lineations and lineation fields across Norway, Sweden, Finland, and parts of NW Russia. Our reconstruction uses a glacial geomorphological inversion approach, in which we generated 611 individual ...

How Does the NSFR Regulatory Constraint Affect Profitability and Lending? Evidence From EU Banks
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the relationship between long‐term liquidity regulatory constraints, profitability, and lending activities in the EU banking sector. In particular, we examine how Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) liquidity requirements impact the profitability and the core banking activities of 187 banks. Our findings reveal that higher NSFR
