Stock market returns may follow biased time paths that standard statistical tests cannot distinguish from random behavior. Rescaled range analysis can be used to detect long-term, nonperiodic cycles in stock returns. If this technique is not applied correctly, however, then it influenced by short-term biases, leading the erroneous conclusion has long-term memory. Applying recently developed Lo test, which does rely on regression techniques and robust dependence, provides support for...

After classifying contacts based initiator and location lender–borrower meetings, we find banks have more direct firms characterized by low risk use their banking products, indicating there may also be commercial reasons for such contact. Our findings suggest follow a quality selection process in which prefer to strengthen relationships...

An outbreak of monkeypox (Mpox) appeared suddenly and rapidly spread worldwide during 2022. Men who have sex with men (MSM) are at a high risk contracting Mpox compared to other cohorts. The present study examined the psychometric properties newly developed scale among MSM: Motors Vaccination Acceptance Scale (MoMVA) assessing cognitive components motivation receive an vaccination. In total, 389 MSM participated in online survey study. factor structures MoMVA were first using exploratory...
Abstract The introduction of futures contracts did not alter the regularity in cash market that results from Federal Reserve regulation bank‐settlement process. Although we find a positive preholiday effect Fed funds returns, do evidence regulations cause effect.
