Using a structural model of default, I derive rating characteristics if ratings are meant to look ‘through
the cycle’ as opposed to being based on the borrowers’ current condition. The …

Rating agencies state that they take a rating action only when it is unlikely to be reversed
shortly afterwards. Using a formal representation of the rating process, I show that such a policy …

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) studies on humans have shown a cortical
area, the fusiform face area, that is specialized for face processing. An important question is …

This review focuses on low and intermediate stages of contour shape processing. It is split
into two main sections, ‘Contour Detection’ and ‘Shape Discrimination and Representation’. …

To simplify the study of visual face processing, we introduce a novel class of synthetic face
stimuli based upon 37 measurements (head shape, feature locations, etc.) extracted from …

Humans are remarkably sensitive in detecting small deviations from circularity. In tasks
involving discrimination between closed contours, either circular in shape or defined by …

We examine pitfalls in the use of return-based measures of systemic risk contributions (SRCs).
For both linear and nonlinear return frameworks, assuming normal and heavy-tailed …

This paper uses Monte Carlo simulations to assess the impact of noisy input parameters on
the accuracy of estimated portfolio credit risk. Assumptions about input quality are derived …
