Empirical Evidence on Selective Sovereign Defaults
This paper introduces a new empirical measure of fiscal fragility, specifically defined by fluctuations in the government’s tax base, to analyze selective sovereign defaults on domestic and foreign debts.

Rapid plasticity of default-mode local network architectures following adult-onset blindness [PDF]
Summary: Sensory cortices are not silent in the absence of sensory inputs but generate spontaneous activity intrinsic to the cortical circuit referred to as default-mode activity.

Selective Default Expectations
Abstract This paper explores how selective default expectations affect the pricing of sovereign bonds in a historical laboratory: the German default of the 1930s. We analyze yield differentials between identical government bonds traded across various creditor countries before and after bond market segmentation.

Fine-scale dynamics of functional connectivity in the face-processing network during movie watching
Summary: Mapping the human face-processing network is typically done during rest or using isolated, static face images, overlooking widespread cortical interactions obtained in response to naturalistic face dynamics and context.

Wave Energy Dissipation of Spilling and Plunging Breaking Waves in Spectral Models
On the basis of field experiments and modeling, the dependence of the dissipation of the energy of waves breaking by plunging and spilling on the frequency of wave spectra was investigated. It was shown that the modeling of wave breaking should take into

Abnormalities in structural and functional MRI connectivity measures have been reported in cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Previous research has shown that whole-brain structural connectivity was highly reproducible in SVD patients, while whole ...

Sovereign debt issuance and selective default [PDF]
Abstract Sovereigns issue debt on both domestic and foreign markets and when they default, they default mostly selectively. We propose a theory to rationalize these observations. A government chooses the optimal combination of two debts to smooth consumption, which is subject to output shock and volatile tax distortions.

During aesthetically appealing visual experiences, visual content provides a basis for computation of affectively tinged representations of aesthetic value. How this happens in the brain is largely unexplored.

Forecasting probabilities of default and loss rates given default in the presence of selection [PDF]
This paper offers a joint estimation approach for forecasting probabilities of default and loss rates given default in the presence of selection. The approach accommodates fixed and random risk factors. An empirical analysis identifies bond ratings, borrower characteristics and macroeconomic information as important risk factors.

The hands’ default location guides tactile spatial selectivity
Our skin is a two-dimensional sheet that can be folded into a multitude of configurations due to the mobility of our body parts. Parts of the human tactile system might account for this flexibility by being tuned to locations in the world rather than on the skin.
