History Of Usury: The Transition Of Usury Through Ancient Greece, The Rise Of Christianity And Islam, And The Expansion Of Long-Distance Trade And Capitalism, Cheryl A. Olechnowicz
Gettysburg Economic Review
Society and its ideas, markets, and institutions are in the constant process of change. These transforming factors contribute to the evolution of economics. Usury is one prominent economic issue that demonstrates this evolution. As it has developed, usury, the lending of money at interest or excessive interest, has been debated for almost two millennia.
During the lifetime of Aristotle, 384-322 B.C., the lending of money for profit was believed to be unnatural and dishonorable.

Banking In A Matching Model Of Money And Capital, Valerie R. Bencivenga, Gabriele Camera
Banking In A Matching Model Of Money And Capital, Valerie R. Bencivenga, Gabriele Camera
Economics Faculty Articles and Research
We introduce banks in a model of money and capital with trading frictions. Banks offer demand deposit contracts and hold primary assets to maximize depositors’ utility. If banks’ operating costs are small, banks reallocate liquidity eliminating idle balances and improving the allocation. At moderate costs, idle balances are reduced but not eliminated. At larger costs, banks are redundant. A central bank policy of paying interest on bank reserves can reverse inflation’s distortionary effects, and increase welfare, but only when costs are small. The threshold levels of banks’ costs increase with inflation, suggesting inflation and banks’ utilization are positively associated.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This dissertation consists of three essays.

We find that short volume in the batch open and opening cross increases with short volume for the rest of the day, with previous-day, open-to-close price changes, and with overnight price changes for S&P 500 stocks. Batch-open short volume increases with overnight price changes, and it increases (does not decrease) for firms making positive (negative) overnight earnings …
