Abstract

When bankers observe a rival winning in the interbank competition for lending to a firm, they infer that the firm may be more promising than they had thought. From this consideration, they loosen their creditworthiness tests and lower the interest rates they offer in the next lending competition for the firm. Increased interbank competition reduces the impact of this observational learning and decreases the credit risk taken by each bank because of a severe winner's curse, while it increases the aggregate risk taken by the entire banking sector.

Abstract

abstract in cases of traumatic brain injury (tbi) in which the patient survived for only a short period of time and was without macroscopic changes at autopsy, it is difficult to diagnose tbi. to detect early diagnostic markers of diffuse axonal injury (dai), real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) in an experimental head trauma model of rat was chosen. the β-amyloid precursor protein (β-app) is a well-known diagnostic marker of dai which can be detected by immunolabeling as early as 1.5 h after injury. β-app has a binding protein, fe65, which is expressed in the brain of alzheimer's disease patients along with β-app, but no involvement with brain injury has been reported. neuron-specific enolase (nse) is also a useful marker of dai. we found that fe65 expression increased dramatically as early as 30 min after injury and decreased after peaking 1 h post-injury, although nse showed no significant changes. these results suggest that real-time pcr of fe65 mrna is useful for the diagnosis of dai in forensic cases.
