Global Factors in Noncore Bank Funding and Exchange Rate Flexibility

Journal of Money, Credit and Banking, EarlyView.
Abstract We show that fluctuations in the ratio of noncore to core funding in the banking systems of advanced economies are largely driven by three global factors of both real and financial natures, with country‐specific factors playing only a minor role. Exchange rate flexibility helps insulate the noncore to core ratio from such global factors.

Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...
