The All-pairs shortest path problem (ALL-SPP) aims to find the shortest path joining all the vertices in a given graph. This study proposed a new optimal method, Dhouib-matrix-ALL-SPP (DM-ALL-SPP) to solve the ALL-SPP based on column-row navigation through the adjacency matrix. DM-ALL-SPP is...

In the feld of empirical asset pricing, the challenges of high dimensionality, non-linear relationships, and interaction efects have led to the increasing popularity of machine learning (ML) methods. This study investigates the performance of ML methods when predicting diferent measures of stock...

Despite the ongoing consolidation trend in the banking industry and the attention some mergers (in particular between large banks) have been receiving, there is no consistent picture of the impact of mergers on the stability of the financial system. In this paper, we aim to provide a universal...
