Merging Two Façade Types into a New Product: Glass Sandwich Panel
Creators: name: Teich, M.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2016

description: Developed by seele for industrial and commercial buildings, iconic skin glass sandwich panel (GSP) is a novel glass panel façade that meets high-level design and economic demands. The idea is to merge two established façade products into a new one: The glass sandwich panel consists of an outer printed glass sheet bonded to a standard sandwich panel. This creates a glass exterior in the form of panels up to a height of 15 m. These huge formats allow architects to employ glass sandwich panels to create homogeneous and flush façade surfaces in glass. This paper discusses the structural testing and numerical verification of the glass sandwich panel with a main focus on the silicone bonding between glass and sandwich. Furthermore, an outlook is given how to integrate window and door elements flush with the façade surface.

Eophanes

description: Eophanes Banks
 Eophanes Banks 1931: 60. Type species: Eophanes formosa Banks, by original designation.
 Further description: New 1985c: 8.
 Diagnosis. Adult: pretarsal claws large, about equal in length to distal tarsomere; wings broad, falcate.
 Description. Adult: large size (forewing 30 mm long or longer). Coloration: pale brown. Structure: antenna long, with well developed fusiform club; wings broad, falcate, no Banksian lines; forewing radial sector arised just beyond cubital fork; forewing vein 2A strongly angled and connected to vein 1A by short crossvein; hindwing radial sector arise slightly basal to medial fork; legs rather slender but stout; tibial spurs long extending to about tarsomere IV; pretarsal claws long and slender; male ectoproct without postventral lobe; parameres flat plates; gonarcus broadly arched; female posterior gonapophysis long and tapered; anterior gonapophysis absent; pregenital plate small.
 Distribution: Australia and Philippines.
 Biology. The large larvae coexist with Xantholeon larvae in Zone 4B and probably feed on them. The larvae live in shallow dust so as to be able to anchor themselves to the substrate which allows them not to be pulled away too easily by captured prey.
 Discussion. We are not familiar with the type species described from the Philippines which may or may not be congeneric with the species found in Western Australia. There appears to be an undescribed species in Queensland. The species of Eophanes appear like large Xantholeon adults but have the broad, falcate wings and much larger pretarsal claws.

description: We report on the association of an X-ray source (WGA J2025.1+3342), serendipitously found with BeppoSAX in two separate observations, with the unidentified EGRET source 3EG J2027+3429. The source is detected from 1 keV up to about 100 keV, has a flat (0.6-1.5) spectrum and is highly variable both in intensity and shape. The data indicate marginal evidence for an iron line in the source rest frame. The overall X-ray luminosity is 4 10^{45} erg s^{-1} typical of a quasar. The X-ray source is coincident in radio with a bright object characterized by a flat spectrum over the band 0.3-10 GHz while in optical it is identified with a quasar at redshift 0.22. All available data indicate a SED compatible with a low frequency peaked or red blazar type object. This identification is interesting because this is the second blazar found behind the galactic plane in the direction of the Cygnus region.

Comment on ``Quasisaddles as relevant points of the potential energy surface in the dynamics of supercooled liquids'' [J. Chem. Phys. 116, 10297 (2002); cond-mat/0203301]

description: Recently, the properties of supercooled liquids have been studied by mapping instaneous configurations onto minima of the gradient squared. It was originally suggested that this mapping would probe higher-order saddle points of the potential energy surface. However, it was subsequently shown that the majority of the minima of this function are only local minima and so do not correspond to saddles. In this comment, we provide a critique of the suggestion made by Angelani et al. [J. Chem. Phys. 116, 10297 (2002); cond-mat/0203301] that although these minima are not true saddles, they are almost saddles (hence the term quasisaddles). This issue has important implications for the interpretation of the results obtained by this approach.

Magnetic helicity evolution in a periodic domain with imposed field

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In helical hydromagnetic turbulence with an imposed magnetic field (which is constant in space and time) the magnetic helicity of the field within a periodic domain is no longer an invariant of the ideal equations. Alternatively, there is a generalized magnetic helicity that is an invariant of the ideal equations. It is shown that this quantity is not gauge invariant and that it can therefore not be used in practice. Instead, the evolution equation of the magnetic helicity of the field describing the deviation from the imposed field is shown to be a useful tool. It is demonstrated that this tool can determine steady state quenching of the alpha-effect. A simple three-scale model is derived to describe the evolution of the magnetic helicity and to predict its sign as a function of the imposed field strength. The results of the model agree favorably with simulations.

Unusual Behavior of Antiferromagnetic Superconductors in Low Magnetic Fields
Creators: name: Rogacki, Krzysztof

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article, we examine the superconducting properties of low- and high-$T_c$ magnetic superconductors in magnetic fields close to the first penetration field. Attention is paid to the properties that relate to the interactions between antiferromagnetism and superconductivity. It is suggested that several features characterizing the interplay between magnetic and superconducting subsystems in low-$T_c$ superconductors can also be present in high-$T_c$ materials, however, they have not been observed for any non-substituted antiferromagnetic superconductors of the Y123 type. For the Gd$_{1+x}$Ba$_{2-x}$Cu$_3$O$_{7-δ}$ compound, a peak in the temperature dependence of the ac susceptibility has been found for $x = 0.2$ near the Néel temperature of the Gd sublattice. This peak is attributed to the suppression of superconducting persistent currents due to the pair breaking effect that results from the enhanced magnetic fluctuations in the vicinity of the phase transition temperature. This observation indicates that the interaction between magnetic and conducting electrons is present for the composition with $x = 0.2$, where magnetism is enhanced and superconductivity diminished.

title: Does Indexation Bias the Estimated Frequency of Price Adjustment?

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2007

description: We assess the implications of price indexation for estimated frequency of price adjustment in sticky price models of business cycles. These models predominantly assume that non-reoptimized prices are indexed to lagged or average inflation. The assumption of price indexation adds tractability although it is not likely reflective of the price practices of firms at the micro level. Under indexation firms have less incentive to adjust their prices, which implies downward bias in the estimated frequency of price changes. To evaluate the bias, we generate data with Calvo-type models without indexation. The artificial data are then used to estimate the frequency of price changes with indexation. Considering different assumptions about the degree of price rigidity and the level of trend inflation in the data-generating model, we find that the estimated indexation bias can be substantial, ranging up to 12 quarters in some cases.
description: Les auteurs évaluent l'incidence de l'indexation sur la fréquence estimée de révision des prix dans les modèles du cycle économique à prix rigides. La majorité de ces modèles partent de l'hypothèse que les prix sont indexés sur l'inflation moyenne ou passée en dehors des périodes de réoptimisation. Cette hypothèse est adoptée pour accroître la maniabilité du modèle, mais elle ne reflète vraisemblablement pas les pratiques des entreprises au niveau microéconomique. En régime d'indexation, celles-ci sont moins incitées à ajuster leurs prix, ce qui donne à penser que la fréquence de révision des prix est sous-estimée. Pour évaluer la taille de ce biais, les auteurs génèrent des données à l'aide de modèles à la Calvo sans indexation, dans lesquels ils formulent diverses hypothèses concernant le degré de rigidité des prix et le taux d'inflation tendanciel. Ils estiment ensuite la fréquence de révision des prix en régime d'indexation au moyen des données ainsi créées. Les auteurs constatent que le biais dû à l'indexation peut être considérable et atteint jusqu'à douze trimestres dans certains cas.

description: Cast glass components are a promising solution for engineering pure glass structures of high transparency and load-carrying capacity due to their large cross-sectional area and monolithic nature. Currently, the few realized structures employing cast glass components rely either on a steel substructure or on an adhesive of high bonding strength and typically less than 2 mm thickness, to ensure the stiffness and stability of the construction. Whereas the first solution compromises the overall level of transparency, the second results to a permanent construction requiring intensive and meticulous labour and extreme accuracy. This paper explores the potential of a novel, reversible all-glass system comprising dry-assembly, interlocking cast glass components as a promising and sustainable solution that can avoid the above-mentioned challenges. Owing to its interlocking geometry, the proposed system can attain the desired stiffness and stability with the aid of minimal, if any, metal framing. Furthermore, the suggested system circumvents the use of adhesives by using a dry, colourless interlayer as an intermediate between the glass components to accommodate any dimensional tolerances and allow for an even load distribution; moreover, it allows for the disassembly and circular use of the components. To validate the concept, different component geometries and interlocking mechanisms are developed. As a proof of concept, the most promising interlocking forms are kiln cast in 1:2 scale and assessed in terms of mechanical interlocking capacity, mass distribution, residual stress generation and ease of fabrication. In parallel, research is conducted on different materials for the dry, transparent interlayer. From the developed designs, blocks with osteomorphic interlocking mechanisms are selected as the most promising concept and are further assessed by numerical modelling to study the influence of the interlocking geometry to the overall structural performance. The results highlight the structural potential of the proposed system and demonstrate its feasibility.

Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this paper, as part of a MSc graduation project, has been to explore to which extent the kinematic potential of folded geometries can benefit from the structural and architectural properties of glass plates. Using as a case study the covering in an adjustable way an outdoor swimming pool area, the course of this paper consists of form evolution based on structural performance and development of a dual purpose connection and deployment principle developed through experimental testing. Both aspects are examined independently, in parallel processes, and the findings are combined and further evaluated. This study has shown that it is possible to create a self-supporting structure made out of plate elements which is also directionally deployable, without compromising the system’s stability and thus provides an important beginning to implementing complex structures that make use of the benefits of glass.

How magnetic helicity ejection helps large scale dynamos

description: There is mounting evidence that the ejection of magnetic helicity from the solar surface is important for the solar dynamo. Observations suggest that in the northern hemisphere the magnetic helicity flux is negative. We propose that this magnetic helicity flux is mostly due to small scale magnetic fields; in contrast to the more systematic large scale field of the 11 year cycle, whose helicity flux may be of opposite sign, and may be excluded from the observational interpretation. Using idealized simulations of MHD turbulence as well as a simple two-scale model, we show that shedding small scale (helical) field has two important effects. (i) The strength of the large scale field reaches the observed levels. (ii) The evolution of the large scale field proceeds on time scales shorter than the resistive time scale, as would otherwise be enforced by magnetic helicity conservation. In other words, the losses ensure that the solar dynamo is always in the near-kinematic regime. This requires, however, that the ratio of small scale to large scale losses cannot be too small, for otherwise the large scale field in the near-kinematic regime will not reach the observed values.

description: Current design codes and standards provide limited indications for advanced analysis and earthquake engineering of structural glass applications in seismic regions. This work provides an energy-based approach for efficient design and structural performance evaluation of structural glass systems in seismic regions. The analytical formulation of the energy-based approach for dissipative non-linear structural glass systems is firstly presented. A practical application is then described by means of analytical and numerical studies. The results show that the combination of appropriate structural design with advanced non-linear analysis allows the achievement of highly efficient design and satisfactory performances comparable to the ones of other common structural systems.

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2007

description: Over the past 15 years, long-term interest rates have declined to levels not seen since the 1970s. This paper explores possible shifts in global savings and investment that have led to this fall in the world real interest rate. There are several key findings. First, the authors identify the relative weakness in investment demand as more important than the relative increase in desired global savings to explain the decline in global interest rates. Second, the results indicate that the key factors explaining movements in savings and investment are variables that evolve relatively slowly over time, such as labour force growth and age structure. The conclusions suggest that over the coming years, world real interest rates are likely to continue to adjust slowly, reflecting long-term trends.
description: Au cours des quinze dernières années, les taux d'intérêt à long terme ont diminué, et ils touchent aujourd'hui des creux qu'on n'avait plus vus depuis les années 1970. Les auteurs examinent les variations du niveau de l'épargne et de l'investissement à l'échelle du globe afin de déterminer si elles ont pu mener au recul du taux d'intérêt réel mondial. Voici les grandes conclusions de leur étude. Tout d'abord, il semble que la faiblesse relative de la demande d'investissement ait joué un rôle plus important que la hausse relative du niveau souhaité de l'épargne dans le repli des taux d'intérêt mondiaux. Deuxièmement, les principaux facteurs à l'origine des mouvements de l'épargne et de l'investissement sont des variables qui évoluent assez lentement, telles la croissance de la population active et la structure par âge. Ces résultats portent à croire que les taux d'intérêt réels mondiaux continueront de s'ajuster lentement dans les années à venir, en réaction aux tendances de long terme.

description: We study the equilibrium dynamics of the relative phase in a superconducting Josephson link taking into account the quantum fluctuations of the electromagnetic vacuum. The photons act as a superohmic heat bath on the relative Cooper pair number and thus, indirectly, on the macroscopic phase difference ϕ. This leads to an enhancement of the mean square that adds to the spread due to the Coulomb interaction carried by the longitudinal electromagnetic field. We also include the interaction with the electronic degrees of freedom due to quasiparticle tunneling, which couple to the phase and only indirectly to the particle number. The simultaneous inclusion of both the radiation field fluctuations and quasiparticle tunneling leads to a novel type of particle--bath Hamiltonian in which the quantum particle couples through its position and momentum to two independent bosonic heat baths. We study the interplay between the two mechanisms in the present context and find interference contributions to the quantum fluctuations of the phase. We explore the observability of the QED effects discussed here.

description: Patients with a high probability of remission in response to low-cost therapies may be identified using a battery of inexpensive clinical predictors in large observational samples. Treatment Effect Data from the Mental Health Services of the Capital Region of Denmark contributes with valuable data on individuals with a non-psychotic psychiatric disorder referred to psychotherapeutic treatment. The aim of this paper is to introduce the content of Treatment Effect Data for patients with non-psychotic major depression (MD) or anxiety disorders (AD) in Denmark. In Denmark the provision of psychiatric treatment is nationwide and in August 2007, the Mental Health Services of the Capital Region of Denmark launched a regional patient-reported system, Treatment Effect. All individuals residing within the Capital region of Denmark referred to psychotherapeutic treatment with a non-psychotic psychiatric disorder (e.g. AD, MD, eating disorders) electronically report symptoms, quality of life, and social functioning prior to and by the end of the treatment course. Between 2007 and 2021, a total of 18,700 unique patient courses, in which individuals were diagnosed with either non-psychotic MD or AD, received standardized psychotherapeutic treatment. The patients mean age at the initial interview was 34.7 years and 71.7% were women. Half of the patients (51.6%) had severe (29.8%) or moderate (21.7%) depression according to the Major Depression Inventory. Treatment Effect data provides a unique opportunity to examine treatment effects among a large cohort of unselected patients with AD and MD, but this data resource has been scarcely used for research.

description: Spatial light modulators (SLMs) are central to numerous applications ranging from high-speed displays to adaptive optics, structured illumination microscopy, and holography. After decades of advances, SLM arrays based on liquid crystals can now reach large pixel counts exceeding 10^6 with phase-only modulation with a pixel pitch of less than 10 μm and reflectance around 75%. However, the rather slow modulation speed in such SLMs (below hundreds of Hz) presents limitations for many applications. Here we propose an SLM architecture that can achieve high pixel count with high-resolution phase-only modulation at high speed in excess of GHz. The architecture consists of a tunable two-dimensional array of vertically oriented, one-sided microcavities that are tuned through an electro-optic material such as barium titanate (BTO). We calculate that the optimized microcavity design achieves a π phase shift under an applied bias voltage below 10 V, while maintaining nearly constant reflection amplitude. As two model applications, we consider high-speed 2D beam steering as well as beam forming. The outlined design methodology could also benefit future design of spatial light modulators with other specifications (for example amplitude modulators). This high-speed SLM architecture promises a wide range of new applications ranging from fully tunable metasurfaces to optical computing accelerators, high-speed interconnects, true 2D phased array beam steering, and quantum computing with cold atom arrays.

description: This paper analyzes endogenous fluctuations in total factor productivity (TFP) in a dynamic general equilibrium model with heterogeneous agents, and illustrates the interaction of credit market frictions, asset prices, the entry and exit of firms, and fluctuations in TFP in response to firm-level productivity and aggregate credit-market shocks. I also analyze the effect of bankruptcy and foreclosure laws on fluctuations in TFP through their effect on credit market frictions. Implications of the model are consistent with the features of the stagnation in Japan in the 1990s.

Il illustre les interactions qui existent entre les frictions sur le marché du crédit, les prix des actifs, la création et la disparition d'entreprises et les fluctuations de la PTF face aux variations de la productivité intra-entreprise et aux chocs survenant sur le marché du crédit. Il examine aussi comment les lois en matière de faillite et de saisie immobilière font fluctuer la PTF par les frictions qu'elles induisent sur le marché du crédit. Les résultats du modèle cadrent avec les caractéristiques de la période de stagnation que le Japon a traversée dans les années 1990.
An Analysis of Glass Fracture Statistics

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018

description: A numerical method is applied to model the fracture stress and failure location in glass panes subjected to various bending arrangements. The method assumes the weakest-link principle and the existence of surface microcracks. The fracture stress and failure origin are revealed through a search algorithm. The magnitude of strength and the location of fracture are stochastic in nature and can be predicted based on a suitable representation of the surface flaws condition. When the crack size distribution is assumed to be Pareto, the strength distribution is found to be very similar to a Weibull distribution. The stresses in large laterally supported plates which are subjected to uniform pressure are modelled and the distribution of fracture location is determined based on a single population of cracks with a Pareto distributed crack size. Two types of gasket support materials are considered, neoprene and nylon. The softer gasket material produces a greater number of fractures nearer the corners of the plate. A comparison is made with the recorded fracture locations according to various experiments. In addition, a tall vertical panel of laminated glass with a complex geometry and which is subjected to dynamic impact loading is modelled and the distribution of fracture location is determined based on a single population of cracks with a Pareto distributed crack size.

They crystallize in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c, and for the case of Ni_5(TeO_3)_4Cl_2 the unit cell is a=19.5674(2) A, b=5.2457(1) A, c=16.3084(1) A, with beta=125.289(1). The structure is layered and built up of corner connected [Ni_5O_17X_2] entities, made of five nickel(II) octahedra associated by edge and face sharing. The tellurium(IV) atoms are fixed upon the nickel layers. Their lone pairs E and the halogen atoms are packed in a double layer perpendicular to the [010] direction. From the magnetic point of view, this system provides a new 2D S=1 quantum spin system with antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction. The magnetic susceptibility shows anomalies pointing to magnetic ordering phenomena. The observed transition temperatures vary with the interlayer separation.

description: Applying gyrokinetic simulations for theoretical turbulence and transport studies to the plasma edge and scrape-off layer (SOL) presents significant challenges. To in particular account for steep density and temperature gradients in the SOL, the "full-f" code PICLS was developed. PICLS is a gyrokinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) code and is based on an electrostatic model with a linearized field equation and uses kinetic electrons. In previously published results we were applying PICLS to the well-studied 1D parallel transport problem during an edge-localized mode (ELM) in the SOL without collisions. As an extension to this collision-less case and in preparation for 3D simulations, in this work a collisional model will be introduced. The implemented Lenard-Bernstein collision operator and its Langevin discretization will be shown. Conservation properties of the collision operator as well as a comparison of the collisional and non-collisional case will be discussed.

description: The SIRTF Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest SIRTF Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of environment, from redshifts z~3 to the current epoch. SWIRE will survey 7 high-latitude fields, totaling 60 - 65 sq. deg. in all 7 SIRTF bands: IRAC 3.6, 4.5, 5.6, 8 microns and MIPS 24, 70, 160 microns. The Legacy Extragalactic Catalog may contain in excess of 2 million IR-selected galaxies, dominated by (1) ~150,000 luminous infrared galaxies (LIRGs: L{FIR}>10^11 L_sun), ~7000 of these with z>2; (2) 1 million early-type galaxies, ~10,000 with z>2; and (3) \~20,000 classical AGN, plus significantly more dust-obscured QSO/AGN among the LIRGs. SWIRE will provide an unprecedented view of the evolution of galaxies, structure, and AGN. The key scientific goals of SWIRE are: (1) to determine the evolution of actively star-forming and passively evolving galaxies in order to understand the history of galaxy formation in the context of cosmic structure formation; (2) to determine the evolution of the spatial distribution and clustering of evolved galaxies, starbursts and AGN in the key redshift range, 0.5

title: Central Bank Performance under Inflation Targeting
Creators: name: Gosselin, Marc-André
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2007

description: The inflation targeting (IT) regime is 17 years old. With practice of IT now in more than 21 countries, there is enough evidence gathered to take stock of the IT experience. In this paper, we analyze the inflation record of IT central banks. We extend the work of Albagli and Schmidt-Hebbel (2004) by looking at a broad range of factors that can influence inflation target deviations and by identifying the empirical determinants of successful monetary policy under IT. We find that part of the cross-country and time variation in inflation deviations from targets can be explained by exchange rate movements, fiscal deficits, and differences in financial sector development. With respect to the components of the IT framework, we find that a higher inflation target and a larger inflation control range are associated with more variable inflation (and output) outcomes. Although the literature tends to suggest that greater central bank transparency is desirable, our findings imply that transparency might be associated with less satisfactory inflation performance. Interestingly, central banks using economic models do a better job of stabilizing inflation around the target and output around trend.
description: Les régimes de cibles d'inflation ont 17 ans. Aujourd'hui, une vingtaine de pays les ont adoptés. On dispose donc de suffisamment de données pour dresser un bilan. L'auteur évalue les résultats obtenus sur le front de l'inflation par les banques centrales qui se sont dotées de cibles. Il étoffe à cet effet le travail d'Albagli et Schmidt-Hebbel (2004) en élargissant le nombre des facteurs susceptibles d'induire des écarts par rapport au taux d'inflation visé et en cernant les déterminants empiriques du succès de la politique monétaire en régime de cibles d'inflation. Il constate qu'une partie des écarts relevés parmi les pays et dans le temps peut être imputée aux mouvements de change, aux déficits des finances publiques et aux différences de développement du secteur financier. En ce qui concerne les caractéristiques proprement dites des régimes, il ressort que le niveau de l'inflation et de la production varie d'autant plus que le taux visé est élevé et que la fourchette de maîtrise de l'inflation est large. À l'encontre des résultats présentés dans la littérature, qui sont favorables à une plus grande transparence de la part des banques centrales, ceux de l'étude donnent à penser que le comportement de l'inflation se détériore en présence d'une transparence accrue. Fait intéressant, les banques centrales qui emploient des modèles économiques réussissent mieux à maintenir l'inflation près de la cible et la production près des valeurs tendancielles.

description: In this paper authors will summarise current design approaches for hybrid glass structures. Our past and present projects will be used to demonstrate how such structures can be justified using finite element analysis, analytical solutions in context of prescriptive national and international regulations, industry guidance’s developed and accumulated over past decades. General methods will be distilled, relevant for future hybrid glass structures.

title: Perhaps the FOMC Did What It Said It Did: An Alternative Interpretation of the Great Inflation
Creators: name: Sharon, Kozicki

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2007

description: This paper uses real-time briefing forecasts prepared for the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to provide estimates of historical changes in the design of U.S. monetary policy and in the implied central-bank target for inflation. Empirical results support a description of policy with an effective inflation target of roughly 7 percent in the 1970s. Moreover, the evidence suggests that mismeasurement of the degree of economic slack was largely irrelevant for explaining the Great Inflation while favouring a passive-policy description of monetary policy. FOMC transcripts provide a neglected interpretation of the source of passive policy–intermediate targeting of monetary aggregates.
description: Les auteurs se fondent sur les prévisions en temps réel produites à l'intention du Comité de l'open market de la Réserve fédérale pour mesurer les changements survenus dans la conception de la politique monétaire américaine et les variations de la cible d'inflation implicite de la banque centrale. Les résultats empiriques portent à croire que la cible se situait dans les faits aux alentours de 7 % durant les années 1970. Ils donnent également à penser que la forte inflation des années 1970 ne peut s'expliquer par des erreurs de mesure de la marge de capacités inutilisées au sein de l'économie. Les résultats sont favorables à une autre explication, qui privilégie la passivité de la politique monétaire. À cet égard, l'analyse des comptes rendus des réunions du Comité de l'open market fait ressortir un facteur, négligé jusqu'ici, qui aide à comprendre la faible réactivité de la politique monétaire : la poursuite d'objectifs intermédiaires de croissance des agrégats monétaires.

title: Housing Market Cycles and Duration Dependence in the United States and Canada
Creators: name: Cunningham, Rose

Year: 2007

description: Housing wealth is a large component of total wealth and plays an important role in aggregate business cycles. In this paper, we explore data on real house price cycles at the aggregate level and city level for the United States and Canada. Using a panel of 137 cities, we examine the duration, size, and correlations of housing market cycles in North America. We find that North American housing cycles are long, averaging five years of expansion and four years of contraction, and there is a fairly high degree of correlation in house price cycles between U.S. and Canadian cities. We estimate a discrete time survival model with a probit specification for house price expansions and contractions. This model allows us to test for duration dependence. We find that housing market expansions have positive duration dependence since their exit probabilities increase with duration, while contractions seem to have no duration dependence. Standard determinants of house prices (interest rates, income and population growth) are included as controls.
description: L'immobilier résidentiel forme une large part de la richesse totale et joue un rôle important dans le cycle économique global. Les auteurs étudient les données relatives aux cycles des prix réels des maisons aux États-Unis et au Canada, tant à l'échelle nationale qu'au niveau des agglomérations urbaines. Ils se fondent sur un échantillon longitudinal de 137 villes pour examiner la durée, l'ampleur et la corrélation des cycles du marché du logement en Amérique du Nord. Leur analyse révèle que ce dernier connaît de longs cycles, dont les phases d'expansion et de contraction durent cinq et quatre ans respectivement, et que les cycles des prix des maisons dans les agglomérations américaines et canadiennes affichent une corrélation relativement élevée entre eux. Les auteurs estiment un modèle de survie en temps discret doté de variables probit qui permet de tester le degré de dépendance temporelle du risque de retournement des phases de hausse et de baisse. Leur modèle montre que les probabilités de retournement des phases d'expansion augmentent avec la durée, alors que celles des phases de contraction ne semblent pas sensibles au facteur temps. Les auteurs utilisent comme variables de contrôle les déterminants habituels des prix des maisons (taux d'intérêt, revenu et croissance démographique).
