Stressing The Stress Tests, Natasha Sarin, Til Schuermann

Journal of Financial Crises

In the spring of 2023, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank, and First Republic Bank failed, owing to predictable rate hikes by the Federal Reserve. It’s clear from these recent events that the current US stress-testing system is ill-suited to mitigate risk associated with the banking system, especially when looking at smaller regional banks that aren’t subjugated to annual stress testing. Stress testing as a regulatory tool is also exposed to significant legal risks following recent Supreme Court jurisprudence that draws into question the viability of the status quo. Today, regulators and other interested parties must change tacks to craft a …

Cbdc Settlement: Implications For Money Creation And Maturity Transformation, Francesca Carapella

Journal of Financial Crises

This paper analyzes the implications of different models of intermediation, clearing, and settlement of central bank digital currency (CBDC) for the ability of the financial system to create money and, through it, to possibly affect financial stability. Only two models have the potential to limit the private sectors’ ability to create money: a model where the central bank directly opens accounts with the public and a model where the central bank allows intermediaries to perform only custodial activities in CBDC. Under any other intermediation model, money can be created inside the financial system by the intermediaries providing payment services associated …

Have Your Cake And Eat It Too, Using Apportionment To Preserve Congress's Tax Power, Donald B. Tobin

Florida Tax Review

The Constitution provides Congress with extremely broad taxing power, and the Supreme Court has recognized that this power is “virtually without limitation.” As budget deficits and income inequality in the United States increase, policymakers are examining options to tax wealth, either through a wealth tax or through taxes on untaxed capital gains. Opponents of these measures have turned to the apportionment requirement in the Constitution and argued that these taxes are not “income taxes” and instead are “direct taxes” that must be apportioned among the states. They further argue that since these taxes cannot be apportioned fairly, any wealth tax …

The Decline Of Chevron, The Rise Of Loper Bright And The Shifting Sands Of Tax Law, Doron Narotzki, Tamir Shanan

Florida Tax Review

The repeal of the Chevron deference doctrine has triggered what some may argue is a seismic shift in how tax law may be interpreted and applied, which may have far-reaching implications for taxpayers, the Internal Revenue Service and the federal government. This Article examines the evolving landscape of U.S. federal tax law in the wake of the Loper Bright decision, specifically focusing on the tax and economic consequences for key tax areas such as the General Anti-Abuse Rule and the complicated foreign tax credit and transfer pricing regimes, as well as the rules that characterize financial instruments or equity investments …

Letting Students Amaze Us: Teaching For Success In A 4th Grade Classroom, William D. Smyth

Virginia English Journal

A look back at a year in a 4th grade classroom with highly motivated students that came about when a former student, now 48 years old, returned home to visit his 4th grade teacher. According to this student, this was the seminal year that launched his engineering career that he now enjoys in Portland, Oregon. And, speaking for others, this was the turning point in his classmates' educational journeys too.

Fixing Our Failures With Data: Data Literacy And Global Issues In A Middle School Novel Study, Mary Grace Scartz

Virginia English Journal

This paper explains the rationale behind and need for teaching data literacy approaches in an English classroom. It outlines a unit of study based on the book by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohammad, When Stars are Scattered, which follows the true story of Omar as he navigates education and family responsibilities in a refugee camp in Kenya. Because of the relevant and important global challenges that arise in the story, students need a wealth of background knowledge to approach the text. This paper argues that this background knowledge is best delivered through the use of real-world data about refugees …

Reflections From A Summer Literacy Intervention: Unlocking A Love Of Literacy In Struggling Readers, Rory K. Cantwell, Jenny M. Martin

Virginia English Journal

Summer literacy interventions offer a solution to the devastating impacts that summer literacy loss can have on struggling readers and writers. However, these interventions should consider the impact of student attitudes towards literacy on their learning and strive to develop positive associations between literacy and enjoyment. Camp Curious, a summer literacy intervention developed as a collaboration between the Virginia Association of Teachers of English and Shrine Mont, a retreat and conference center, embodies this idea. The intervention, in the form of a week-long camp experience, strives to provide third through sixth graders with positive and varied experiences related to literacy. …

The article offers grade-specific implementation strategies that can be scaled appropriately for elementary, middle, and high school contexts.

Out-Of-Band Bluetooth Pairing Using Infrared Remote Control Protocols, Guillaume Bailey, Gaëtan Delcroix

Defensive Publications Series

In general, conventional radio frequency (RF) pairing methods for computing devices that use, for example, Bluetooth technology may rely on in-band communications between the computing devices. The reliance on the in-band communications between the computing devices for pairing may result in a slow, probabilistic process that may be prone to failure. Such a process may lead to a poor user experience. For example, a user may use in-band communications between a remote control device for a smart television and the smart television when pairing the remote control device with the smart television during, for example, an out of box setup …

Toxic Leadership And Employees' Silence In The Public Sector: The Mediating Role Of Emotional Exhaustion And The Moderating Effect Of Cultural Values, Zubair Ahmed Pirzada, Shoukat Ali Mahar, Naveed Ahmed Mahar

Business Review

This study examines the impact of toxic leadership on employee silence in public healthcare institutions within Sukkur Division, Sindh, Pakistan. Although prior studies have mostly focused on corporate settings, little is known about how toxic leadership shapes employee silence in public healthcare systems of developing countries. This study proposes emotional exhaustion as the mediating variable and cultural value as a moderating variable for the indirect effect. The study employed a cross-sectional and quantitative design, collecting data from 255 employees working in District Health Offices, Basic Health Units, and public hospitals. Validated measurement scales were applied, and data were analyzed using …
