Hkc05 - Household Portfolios, Corporate Leverage, And The Supply Side Of Monetary Policy, Charles A.E. Goodhart, M. Udara Peiris, Dimitrios P. Tsomocos, Xuan Wang Jun 2026

Hkc05 - Household Portfolios, Corporate Leverage, And The Supply Side Of Monetary Policy, Charles A.E. Goodhart, M. Udara Peiris, Dimitrios P. Tsomocos, Xuan Wang

Oberlin College Kasper Economics and Business Working Paper Series

Corporate borrowing creates safe claims for some households and concentrates residual risk in equity for others. This portfolio heterogeneity drives a supply-side channel through which corporate leverage conditions monetary transmission. Tightening erodes equity holders’ wealth while safe-asset holders are cushioned; the resulting income effect makes aggregate labor fall more at high leverage, raising the sacrifice ratio. A static model yields a closed-form hump in leverage, with the US range on the rising side, disciplined by Survey of Consumer Finances portfolio shares. A calibrated dynamic model roughly doubles the sacrifice ratio, and US local projections agree in sign, shape, and timing.

The Questioning Of Special Items During Conference Calls: High Quality Or Highly Questionable?, Jiajia Fu, Yuan Ji, James Potepa

School of Accountancy Faculty Publications

Accounting standards require firms to distinguish recurring revenues and expenses from nonrecurring gains and losses, which are often referred to as special items. However, not all special items are genuinely nonrecurring. Exploiting the setting of earnings conference calls, we explore whether analysts can identify opportunistic special items, as evidenced by asking for more information about them. We find evidence that managers' discussions of special items more often relate to predicted special items, whereas analysts have more questions about potentially opportunistic special items. Managers adopt a relatively more negative tone and use more words when answering questions about potentially opportunistic special …

The Brown Foundation: Institute of Molecular Medicine

The complement system is a central component of innate immunity that coordinates host defense, immune surveillance, and inflammatory responses through tightly regulated proteolytic cascades. Genetic variation within complement genes contributes substantially to interindividual differences in complement activity and disease susceptibility. While coding variants directly alter complement protein structure and function, the microRNA (miRNA)-mediated control and post-transcriptional regulation is not fully understood in shaping complement gene expression across immune and inflammatory mechanisms. Complement pathway genes exhibit extensive and heterogeneous 3'-untranslated regions (3'UTRs), which serve as primary platforms for miRNA binding and RNA-binding protein interactions. Both common and rare single-nucleotide polymorphisms within …

Fines Migration Versus Mineral Dissolution In Co₂ Injectivity Impairment: A Critical Review And Conceptual Framework For Clay-Rich Sandstone Reservoirs, Umarov Shahzodbek Bakhromjon Ugl

Platform: A Journal of Engineering (PAJE)

Sustained injectivity is a controlling operational requirement for geological CO2 storage in deep saline aquifers because near-wellbore permeability loss can restrict injection rates, accelerate pressure build-up and reduce storage efficiency. In sandstone reservoirs containing reactive or mobile clay minerals, CO2-saturated brine may induce coupled geochemical and colloidal processes that cannot be interpreted through bulk porosity change alone. This review critically synthesises evidence on CO2-brine-rock interaction, clay mineral response, fines detachment, pore-throat restriction and injectivity impairment in sandstone systems. The reviewed literature indicates that mineral dissolution, secondary precipitation, salt precipitation, wettability alteration and fines migration can operate simultaneously, but their effects …
