    “The bank management may have incentives, of course, to delay such recognition so as to present the bank’s assets to investors and regulators as being more valuable than they actually are, which also overstates the value of its equity.” (Admati & Hellwig, 2014, p. 86).

  3. 3.

    A run is a string of values ri with same sign. As E(r) = 0, then actual ri are expected to alternate betwen positive and negative values randomly. Therefore, runs should also follow random rules.
