  • The Russia You Never Met
    The Russia You Never Met MATT BIVENS AND JONAS BERNSTEIN fter staggering to reelection in summer 1996, President Boris Yeltsin A announced what had long been obvious: that he had a bad heart and needed surgery. Then he disappeared from view, leaving his prime minister, Viktor Cher- nomyrdin, and his chief of staff, Anatoly Chubais, to mind the Kremlin. For the next few months, Russians would tune in the morning news to learn if the presi- dent was still alive. Evenings they would tune in Chubais and Chernomyrdin to hear about a national emergency—no one was paying their taxes. Summer turned to autumn, but as Yeltsin’s by-pass operation approached, strange things began to happen. Chubais and Chernomyrdin suddenly announced the creation of a new body, the Cheka, to help the government collect taxes. In Lenin’s day, the Cheka was the secret police force—the forerunner of the KGB— that, among other things, forcibly wrested food and money from the peasantry and drove some of them into collective farms or concentration camps. Chubais made no apologies, saying that he had chosen such a historically weighted name to communicate the seriousness of the tax emergency.1 Western governments nod- ded their collective heads in solemn agreement. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank both confirmed that Russia was experiencing a tax collec- tion emergency and insisted that serious steps be taken.2 Never mind that the Russian government had been granting enormous tax breaks to the politically connected, including billions to Chernomyrdin’s favorite, Gazprom, the natural gas monopoly,3 and around $1 billion to Chubais’s favorite, Uneximbank,4 never mind the horrendous corruption that had been bleeding the treasury dry for years, or the nihilistic and pointless (and expensive) destruction of Chechnya.

Master 2 Recherche Etudes Anglophones Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory: A Fairy Tale between Tradition and Subversion A dissertation presented by Joséphine Magnard Year 2017-2018 Under the supervision of Mehdi Achouche, Senior Lecturer ABSTRACT The aim of this Master’s dissertation is to study to what extent Tim Burton plays with the codes of the fairy tale genre in his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (1964). To that purpose, the characteristics of the fairy tale genre will be treated with a specific focus on morality. The analysis of specific themes that are part and parcel of the genre such as childhood, family and home will show that Tim Burton’s take on the tale challenges the fairy tale codes, providing its viewers with a more Tim Burtonesque, subversive approach where things are not as definable as they might seem.

  • A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets
    Journal of Risk and Financial Management Review A Survey on Volatility Fluctuations in the Decentralized Cryptocurrency Financial Assets Nikolaos A. Kyriazis Department of Economics, University of Thessaly, 38333 Volos, Greece; [email protected] Abstract: This study is an integrated survey of GARCH methodologies applications on 67 empirical papers that focus on cryptocurrencies. More sophisticated GARCH models are found to better explain the fluctuations in the volatility of cryptocurrencies. The main characteristics and the optimal approaches for modeling returns and volatility of cryptocurrencies are under scrutiny. Moreover, emphasis is placed on interconnectedness and hedging and/or diversifying abilities, measurement of profit-making and risk, efficiency and herding behavior. This leads to fruitful results and sheds light on a broad spectrum of aspects. In-depth analysis is provided of the speculative character of digital currencies and the possibility of improvement of the risk–return trade-off in investors’ portfolios. Overall, it is found that the inclusion of Bitcoin in portfolios with conventional assets could significantly improve the risk–return trade-off of investors’ decisions. Results on whether Bitcoin resembles gold are split. The same is true about whether Bitcoins volatility presents larger reactions to positive or negative shocks. Cryptocurrency markets are found not to be efficient. This study provides a roadmap for researchers and investors as well as authorities.

Yet, in 1971 Mel Stuart’s "lm Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory the Oompa- Loompas are portrayed as little people with orange skin and green hair. In Dahl’s 1973 revision of this text he depicts the Oompa-Loompas as white. Finally, in the "lm Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) Tim Burton portrays the Oompa-Loompas as little brown skin people. #is research traces the changing depictions of the Oompa-Loompas throughout the written and "lm text of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory narra- tive while questioning the power dynamics between Willy Wonka and the Oompa-Loompas characters. #is study mo$es beyond a traditional "lm analysis by comparing and cross analyzing the narratives !om the "lms to the original written texts and places them within their political and his- torical context.

    CRYPTOCURRENCY SERIES HAS BITCOIN BOTTOMED? A BRIEF HISTORY OF BUBBLES MAY 2018 INTRODUCTION “ 90% of South Koreans have heard of Bitcoin, yet only 8% have heard of blockchain”1 Bitcoin is ten years old this year. Created by the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency and the first commercial use of blockchain. Since its creation in 2008, it has taken close to nine years for Bitcoin to reach stratospheric bubble territory. In 2017 alone, Bitcoin’s price increased 1,300%. But this was not even the strongest cryptocurrency performer. That honor goes to Ripple, at a staggering 36,000%!2 2017’s biggest cryptoassets ranked by performance 2017 gain 1. Ripple 36,018% 2.

  • A Cryptocurrency Bubble Wavelet Analysis
    CUMULATION,CRASH,COHERENCY: ACRYPTOCURRENCY BUBBLE WAVELET ANALYSIS Wolfgang Fruehwirt∗ Leonhard Hochfilzer Leonard Weydemann Stephen Roberts Oxford-Man Institute Mathematical Institute Department of Computer Science Oxford-Man Institute of Quantitative Finance University of Oxford Technical University of Vienna of Quantitative Finance University of Oxford Oxford, UK Vienna, Austria University of Oxford Oxford, UK Oxford, UK HIGHLIGHTS • First study of its kind to use intraday data (5-minute resolution). • Highly significant (p < 2.2e-16) structural change in the relationships between cryptocurrencies towards instability, as indicated by increased wavelet coherence after the Bitcoin peak. • Robustness of findings demonstrated by extensive sensitivity analysis. • Visualizations with high time-frequency resolution vividly depicting bubble dynamics. • A large variety of well-known and lesser-known cryptocurrencies is considered. ABSTRACT After its price peaked in 2017, Bitcoin lost almost half of its value in US Dollars within one month, which in turn is likely to have influenced the behavior of market participants — many of who were lay investors. We hypothesize that after the peak, there was a structural change in the relationships between cryptocurrencies towards instability, as indicated by increased interdependence. We utilize wavelet coherence analysis of intraday data (5-minute resolution) to investigate the dynamics between a variety of cryptocurrencies in time-frequency space. Accompanied by visualizations depicting bubble dynamics, our robust and highly-significant quantitative results confirm our hypothesis. Keywords Cryptocurrencies · Intraday data · Wavelet coherence · Financial bubbles · Market psychology 1 Introduction Cryptocurrencies quickly became infamous for their propensity to bubble activity and extraordinary return potential. However, from December 2017, they have seen their largest corrections in price in both US Dollars and other fiduciary currencies.

  • Technological Forecasting & Social Change
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2020 Riding the Wave of Crypto-Exuberance: The Potential Misusage of Corporate Blockchain Announcements Akyildirim, Erdinc ; Corbet, Shaen ; Cumming, Douglas ; Lucey, Brian ; Sensoy, Ahmet Abstract: Cryptocurrencies have been broadly scrutinised in recent times for a host of concerning reg- ulatory and cybercriminality issues. Although steps have been taken to promote regulatory sufficiency in the near future, we examine the avenues through which this extremely high-risk industry can derive potentially devastating contagion channels, influencing both unwilling and unsuspecting investors. We focus this research on the expressions of interest by publicly traded companies across the world to utilise cryptocurrency and blockchain projects. We find evidence that there exists a substantial stock price premium and sustained increase in volatility in the aftermath of blockchain announcements, with empha- sis on highly-speculative motives such as coin creation and corporate name changes. Changes in price discovery and information flows are found to be largely determined from cryptocurrency-based pricing sources in the aftermath of speculative announcements. We discuss the inherent ethical and legal issues, considering as to whether such announcements are simply an attempt to artificially manipulate share prices and take part in the current phase of crypto-exuberance.

Those few depictions that do exist are scattered across time periods and literary genres, reflecting the legal restrictions that, at different points in time, would not allow women to accumulate assets independent of the patriarchal forces in their lives. The scarcity of extremely wealthy women in literature and film is confirmed by Forbes magazine’s list of the fifteen richest fictional characters that features forty different fictional men and only nine women, with never more than two female characters nominated in a single year.
