The first bear raid and squeeze: Isaac Le Maire and the Dutch East India Company
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract In 1609, the Dutch East India Company (VOC) faced a bear raid by a syndicate of short sellers led by Isaac Le Maire, a former director. We reconstruct the forward trade between 1607 and 1611, the actions taken by the syndicate members, and the responses to these actions by the company.

A Horse Race of Machine‐Learning Methods to Predict Banking Crises
International Finance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT To examine if one machine‐learning model can consistently elucidate financial vulnerabilities, both over time and across levels of development, this paper applies 13 machine‐learning algorithms to evaluate comparative forecasting performance across several banking crises.

Generation of rogue waves at model scale
Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science, 2019 The study of rogue waves is becoming increasingly important, as the offshore oil and gas, as well as renewable energy industries, expand. The unpredictability of such disastrous waves poses a significant risk to floating and fixed structures, making it ...

Statistics of vector Manakov rogue waves [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2018 We present a statistical analysis based on the height and return time probabilities of high amplitude wave events in both focusing and defocusing Manakov systems. We find that analytical rational/semirational solutions, associated with extreme, rogue wave (RW) structures, are the leading high amplitude events in this system.

A Betrayal in the Family: An Inhibitor or Stimulus for Business Model Innovation?
Journal of Product Innovation Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Academic Summary Business‐focused betrayals perpetrated by family members in managerial and decision‐making positions can devastate family businesses, questioning their assumptions about trust and how they conduct the business. Such betrayals ignite tensions between family and business logics, potentially causing paralysis and protection of ...

Rogue Wave for the (3+1)-Dimensional Yu-Toda-Sasa-Fukuyama Equation
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 A new method, homoclinic (heteroclinic) breather limit method (HBLM), for seeking rogue wave solution to nonlinear evolution equation (NEE) is proposed.

Triggering Rogue Waves in Opposing Currents [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 We show that rogue waves can be triggered naturally when a stable wave train enters a region of an opposing current flow. We demonstrate that the maximum amplitude of the rogue wave depends on the ratio between the current velocity, $ U_0 $, and the wave group velocity, $ c_g $. We also reveal that an opposing current can force the development of rogue

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Involvement of corporations in international crimes and conflict atrocities, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes and genocide, are neither isolated events nor uncommon. Importantly, corporate involvement in atrocity crimes is shaped by conditions in “zones of legal risk” (International Commission of Jurists), where gross human rights ...

Multiple rogue wave and multiple lump solutions of a (3+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries equation
上海师范大学学报. 自然科学版, 2021 Based on the Hirota bilinear form, we obtained the multiple rogue wave and multiple lump solutions of a new (3+1)-dimensional Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation.

Sociological Forum, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There are paradoxical and sociological questions surrounding migrants of certain ethno‐national backgrounds—particularly women—whose high levels of education do not consistently translate into employment commensurate with their skills, resulting in what is commonly termed “brain waste.” This study critically examines the role of employer ...
