Lending Cycles and Real Outcomes: Costs of Political Misalignment. LEQS Paper No. 139/2018 December 2018

We document a strong political cycle in bank credit and industry outcomes in Turkey. In line with theories of tactical redistribution, state-owned banks systematically adjust their lending around local elections compared with private banks in the same province based on electoral competition and political alignment of incumbent mayors. This effect only exists in corporate lending as opposed to consumer loans. It creates credit constraints for firms in opposition areas, which suffer drops in employment and sales but not firm entry. There is substantial misallocation of financial resources as provinces and industries with high initial efficiency suffer the greatest constraints

Dimensional Reduction, Seiberg--Witten Map and Supersymmetry

It is argued that dimensional reduction of Seiberg-Witten map for a gauge field induces Seiberg-Witten maps for the other noncommutative fields of a gauge invariant theory. We demonstrate this observation by dimensionally reducing the noncommutative N=1 SYM theory in 6 dimensions to obtain noncommutative N=2 SYM in 4 dimensions. We explicitly derive Seiberg-Witten maps of the component fields in 6 and 4 dimensions. Moreover, we give a general method to define the deformed supersymmetry transformations that leaves the actions invariant after performing the Seiberg-Witten maps.Comment: 14 pages. One Ref. added.

Anti-diamagnetic (paramagnetic) properties of slow mode waves in anisotropic plasma pressures

In this report, we examined diamagnetic and anti-diamagnetic (paramagnetic) properties of magnetosonic modes in anisotropic fluid pressure condition by incorporating double adiabatic equations of state. In the context of liner perturbations, it is found that there appear two wave modes corresponding to a slow phase velocity and a fast phase velocity as is resembled to those in isotropic plasmas. For the fast phase velocity mode, pressure perturbations and field perturbations exhibited paramagnetic relations, similarly to isotropic plasmas. For the slow phase velocity mode, paramagnetic properties appear, unlike the isotropic case, at higher plasma beta part of lower pressure anisotropy (perpendicular/parallel) region
