We develop and solve a dynamic optimization model of a bank's balance sheet, highlighting the critical factors influencing banks' optimization dynamics: balance sheet adjustment costs and the spreads between bank-specific lending and deposit rates and the interbank rate. We apply the model to...

The BDI is a barometer of maritime trade, and the shipping trade network may graphically reflect trade pattern evolution. Because commerce influences freight prices, it is worthwhile to consider the influence of maritime network characteristics on freight rates. To begin, this article constructs...

Firms often struggle with the successful commercialization of innovations, and there is a need for reliable predictors. Prior research suggests that intellectual property (IP) rights play a key role in the commercialization of innovations. However, to what extent can IP rights be used to predict...
