Bank Monitoring with On‐Site Inspections

open access: yesThe Journal of Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Using proprietary transaction‐level data on nonsyndicated construction loans, we provide some of the first empirical evidence on the drivers and consequences of bank monitoring through on‐site inspections. Banks trade off monitoring intensity with favorable origination terms.

Induction and Confirmation Theory: An Approach based on a Paraconsistent Nonmonotonic Logic

open access: yesPrincípios, 2011
This paper is an effort to realize and explore the connections that exist between nonmonotonic logic and confirmation theory. We pick up one of the most wide-spread nonmonotonic formalisms – default logic – and analyze to what extent and under what ...

Towards Closed World Reasoning in Dynamic Open Worlds (Extended Version)

open access: yes, 2010
The need for integration of ontologies with nonmonotonic rules has been gaining importance in a number of areas, such as the Semantic Web. A number of researchers addressed this problem by proposing a unified semantics for hybrid knowledge bases composed

Dynamic Pricing With Demand Carry‐Over: Managerial Practice Versus Theory Prediction

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how competing firms set prices over multiple periods when current‐period demand partially carries over to future periods. We first present results from a pricing experiment conducted with experienced fast‐food managers.

Conflict-driven ASP Solving with External Sources

open access: yes, 2012
Answer Set Programming (ASP) is a well-known problem solving approach based on nonmonotonic logic programs and efficient solvers. To enable access to external information, HEX-programs extend programs with external atoms, which allow for a bidirectional ...

Complexity Results for Nonmonotonic Logics

open access: yesJournal of Logic and Computation, 1992
The paper provides complexity results for three problems of several nonmonotonic logics. Testing of existence of a fixed point and deciding whether a formula belongs to at least one fixed point are \(\Sigma^ P_ 2\)-complete. Deciding whether a formula belongs to all fixed points is \(\Pi^ P_ 2\)-complete.

Market Insurance and Risk Pooling in U.S. Crop Insurance

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A common assumption is that multiple‐peril crop insurance markets suffer from market failures, thus justifying government intervention in the form of premium subsidies, operating allowances, and reinsurance agreements. One prominent rationale for intervention involves geographic correlation in agricultural production which leads to systemic ...

“When life was in the home circle” in the conditional reasonings of Fregean mad-humans and logical penalists

open access: yesСлово.ру: балтийский акцент
We advocate an idea that a necessary condition for a dispute about truth amounts not to the carriers of non-ideal logical thought, but to a variety of approaches to reconstructing the logical form of conditional reasoning, which implies diversification ...

Phenomenal knowledge and phenomenal causality

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 212-232, March 2026.
Abstract There has been extensive debate over whether we can have phenomenal knowledge in the case of epiphenomenalism. This article aims to bring that debate to a close. I first develop a refined causal account of knowledge—one that is modest enough to avoid various putative problems, yet sufficiently robust to undermine the epiphenomenalist position.

Unified Analytic Framework for Thickness‐Dependent Transport and Trap‐State Modulation in Ultrathin W:In2O3 Field‐Effect Transistors

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
We present a unified analytic framework linking subthreshold and above‐threshold conduction in oxide field‐effect transistors by decomposing the drain current into band transport, tail‐state percolation, and interface‐trap diffusion components. Parameter correlation and identifiability analyses enable robust extraction of physical metrics, yielding ...
