The Interaction Between Domestic Monetary Policy and Macroprudential Policy in Israel
The global financial crisis (GFC) triggered the use of macroprudential policies imposed on the banking sector. Using bank-level panel data for Israel for the period 2004-2019, we find that domestic macroprudential measures changed the composition of bank credit growth but did not affect the total credit growth rate. Specifically, we show that macroprudential measures targeted at the housing sector moderated housing credit growth but tended to increase business credit growth. We also find that a…

Bridging Research Gaps Between Academic Research and Legal Investigations of Algorithmic Discrimination
As algorithms increasingly take on critical roles in high-stakes areas such as credit scoring, housing, and employment, civil enforcement actions have emerged as a powerful tool for countering potential discrimination. These legal actions increasingly draw on algorithmic fairness research to inform questions such as how to define and detect algorithmic discrimination. However, current algorithmic fairness research, while theoretically rigorous, often fails to address the practical needs of lega…

Multilayer Cryogenic Powder Filters with Low Parasitic Capacitance
We report the development of a cryogenic powder filter that simultaneously offers high attenuation of radio-frequency (RF) signals in the gigahertz (GHz) range and minimized parasitic capacitance to ground. Conventional powder filters, which consist of a signal line passing through a metal powder-filled housing, attenuate high-frequency signals via the skin effect. However, these designs often suffer from significant parasitic capacitance between the signal line and the grounded chassis, which …

Canadian cities can prepare for climate change by building with nature
The housing affordability crisis is top of mind for many around the world, including Canadians. Between 2019 and 2024, house prices in Toronto and Montréal had an average annual increase of 6.7% and 10.2%, respectively.
