title: Decomposing U.S. Nominal Interest Rates into Expected Inflation and Ex Ante Real Interest Rates Using Structural VAR Methodology
Creators: name: St-Amant, Pierre
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1996

description: In this paper, the author uses structural vector autoregression methodology to decompose U.S. nominal interest rates into an expected inflation component and an ex ante real interest rate component. He identifies inflation expectations and ex ante real interest rate shocks by assuming that nominal interest rates and inflation expectations move one-for-one in the long-run—they are cointegrated (1,1)—and that the real interest rate is stationary. He finds that changes in inflation expectations and in the ex ante real interest rate are both important in explaining fluctuations in the U.S. 1-year and 10-year government bond rates. The author also finds that, while the increase in the 1-year and the 10-year bond rates in the 1970s and the early 1980s mainly reflects higher inflation expectations, changes in ex ante real interest rates appear to account for most of the fluctuations in these rates in 1994 and in the first half of 1995.
description: Dans cette étude, la méthode structurelle d'autorégression vectorielle est utilisée pour décomposer le taux d'intérêt nominal aux États-Unis en une composante d'inflation anticipée et en une composante de taux d'intérêt réel ex ante. Pour identifier les chocs d'inflation anticipée et de taux d'intérêt réel ex ante, l'auteur fait l'hypothèse que le taux d'intérêt nominal et le taux d'inflation anticipé sont cointégrés (1,1) et que le taux d'intérêt réel est stationnaire. L'auteur constate que tant les modifications des anticipations d'inflation que les variations du taux d'intérêt réel ex ante aident grandement à expliquer les fluctuations des taux des obligations à 1 an et à 10 ans du gouvernement des États-Unis. Il constate aussi que, si la hausse des taux des obligations à 1 an et à 10 ans observée au cours des années 70 et au début des années 80 tenait principalement à des anticipations inflationnistes plus fortes, l'essentiel des fluctuations de ces taux en 1994 et au cours du premier semestre de 1995 semble résulter des variations du taux d'intérêt réel ex ante.

description: We have measured the resistance noise of a two-dimensional (2D)hole system in a high mobility GaAs quantum well, around the 2D metal-insulator transition (MIT) at zero magnetic field. The normalized noise power $S_R/R^2$ increases strongly when the hole density p_s is decreased, increases slightly with temperature (T) at the largest densities, and decreases strongly with T at low p_s. The noise scales with the resistance, $S_R/R^2 \sim R^{2.4}$, as for a second order phase transition such as a percolation transition. The p_s dependence of the conductivity is consistent with a critical behavior for such a transition, near a density p* which is lower than the observed MIT critical density p_c.

description: We propose an extension of the symmetric teleparallel gravity, in which the gravitational action $L$ is given by an arbitrary function $f$ of the nonmetricity $Q$ and of the trace of the matter energy-momentum tensor $T$, so that $L=f(Q,T)$. The field equations of the theory are obtained by varying the gravitational action with respect to both metric and connection. The covariant divergence of the field equations is obtained, with the geometry-matter coupling leading to the nonconservation of the energy-momentum tensor. We investigate the cosmological implications of the theory, and we obtain the cosmological evolution equations for a flat, homogeneous and isotropic geometry, which generalize the Friedmann equations of general relativity. We consider several cosmological models by imposing some simple functional forms of the function $f(Q,T)$, corresponding to additive expressions of $f(Q,T)$ of the form $f(Q,T)=αQ+βT$, $f(Q,T)=αQ^{n+1}+βT$, and $f(Q,T)=-αQ-βT^2$. The Hubble function, the deceleration parameter, and the matter energy density are obtained as a function of the redshift by using analytical and numerical techniques. For all considered cases the Universe experiences an accelerating expansion, ending with a de Sitter type evolution. The theoretical predictions are also compared with the results of the standard $Λ$CDM model.

title: A Distant-Early-Warning Model of Inflation Based on M1 Disequilibria
Creators: name: Atta-Mensah, Joseph

name: Hendry, Scott
name: Armour, Jamie
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1996

description: A vector error-correction model (VECM) that forecasts inflation between the current quarter and eight quarters ahead is found to provide significant leading information about inflation. The model focusses on the effects of deviations of M1 from its long-run demand but also includes, among other things, the influence of the exchange rate, a simple measure of the output gap and past prices.

In out-of-sample forecasts of the eight-quarter inflation rate from 1978 on, the VECM had a mean absolute error of just over one percentage point, and a root-mean-squared error of just under two. From the early 1980s on, mean absolute errors and root-mean-squared errors were both less than one percentage point. In addition, except for 1982, the model performed well around the turning points in out-of-sample experiments.

An interpretation of these results is that monetary disequilibria—represented here as deviations of M1 from its long-run demand—are part of the inflation process. That is, in this model, a "money gap" precedes inflation, and an aggregate money gap persists until prices change to help restore monetary equilibrium.
description: Les auteurs de la présente étude sont parvenus à la conclusion qu'un modèle de correction des erreurs qui prévoit l'évolution du taux d'inflation entre le trimestre de la prévision et les huit trimestres subséquents fournit d'importants renseignements avancés sur l'évolution de l'inflation. Les auteurs se concentrent sur les effets des déviations de M1 par rapport à son niveau de long terme, mais ils incorporent également au modèle, entre autres variables, l'influence du taux de change, une mesure simple de l'écart de production et le niveau des prix antérieurs.

Dans les prévisions hors échantillon qui sont faites depuis 1978 sur l'évolution de l'inflation dans un intervalle de huit trimestres, le modèle de correction des erreurs affichait une erreur moyenne absolue à peine supérieure à un point de pourcentage et une erreur quadratique moyenne à peine inférieure à deux points de pourcentage. Depuis le début des années 80, les erreurs moyennes absolues et les erreurs quadratiques moyennes étaient les unes comme les autres inférieures à un point de pourcentage. Sauf pour 1982, le modèle s'est par ailleurs bien comporté aux points de retournement lors des expériences menées en dehors de la période d'estimation.

Une interprétation possible de ces résultats est que les déséquilibres monétaires - représentés ici comme des déviations de M1 par rapport à son niveau de long terme - font partie intégrante du processus inflationniste. Cela signifie que, dans le présent modèle, un « déséquilibre monétaire » précède l'inflation et persiste à l'échelle globale jusqu'à ce qu'un changement de prix intervienne pour rétablir l'équilibre monétaire.
title: Provincial Credit Ratings in Canada: An Ordered Probit Analysis
Creators: name: Cheung, Stella
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1996

description: The author estimates the relationship between the provincial credit ratings, as assessed by Standard & Poor's, and a number of economic variables, using the ordered probit methodology. All the variables in her estimation prove to be significant. In particular, she finds that downgrades take place at almost the same speed at different levels of the debt-to-GDP ratio, based on a pooled sample of nine provinces. Based on smaller pools of provinces with similar economic charateristics, she finds that downgrades take place at different speeds at different levels of the debt-to-GDP ratio.

To assess the likelihood of further provincial government rating downgrades, the author generates probabilistic projections of the provincial credit ratings over the years 1996 to 2000 under various assumptions about government revenue and spending growth. The projections suggest that no further downgrades are likely for provinces whose policies result in only moderate increases or decreases in the debt-to-GDP ratio. Some provinces may be upgraded if they benefit from income growth or follow fiscal policies that result in a declining debt-to-GDP ratio or an improvement in other explanatory variables.
description: L'auteure utilise la méthode des probits ordonnés pour estimer les relations entre les cotes de solvabilité octroyées aux provinces par Standard & Poor's et un certain nombre de variables économiques. Les résultats s'avèrent significatifs dans le cas de toutes les variables estimées. En particulier, l'auteure constate, sur la foi d'un échantillon regroupant les données de neuf provinces, que les déclassements se produisent à peu près au même rythme à différents niveaux du ratio de la dette au PIB. Lorsque l'estimation porte sur de plus petits échantillons de provinces ayant des profils économiques semblables, les déclassements surviennent à des rythmes qui varient avec le niveau du ratio de la dette au PIB.

Afin d'évaluer les chances que survienne un nouvel abaissement des cotes de solvabilité provinciales, l'auteure effectue des projections probabilistes de ces dernières sur la période 1996-2000, en s'appuyant sur diverses hypothèses relatives à la croissance des recettes et des dépenses publiques. Les résultats semblent indiquer qu'un nouveau déclassement est peu probable dans le cas des provinces dont le ratio de la dette au PIB n'augmente ou ne diminue que légèrement sur la période de projection. Certaines provinces pourraient voir leur cote monter si la croissance économique ou leurs politiques budgétaires donnaient lieu à une réduction du ratio de la dette au PIB ou à une amélioration d'autres variables explicatives.

description: The intermittency is investigated when the current reversal occurs in a deterministic inertia ratchet system. To determine which type the intermittency belongs to, we obtain the return map of velocities of particle using stroboscopic recording, and numerically calculate the distribution of average laminar length ${}$. The distribution follows the scaling law of ${} \propto ε^{-1/2}$, the characteristic relation of type-I intermittency.

description: This study examines U.S. crop producers’ perceptions of climate change, its effects on crop agriculture, and likely ways farmers would adapt to weather extremes. Based on a survey of crop producers in four states, we find that a significant proportion of farmers do not perceive that climate change has been scientifically proven and do not believe that it will adversely affect average crop yields and yield variability. Farmers are likely to diversify crops, buy crop insurance, modify lease arrangements, and exit farming in response to extreme weather caused by climate change.

description: The separation of α-lactalbumin (α-LAC) and β-lactoglobulin (β-LG) by ultrafiltration (UF) is a technological challenge due to their similar molecular size. As high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) treatment generates β-LG complexes of a larger molecular size than native β-LG, it was suggested that pressurization of skim milk could improve the separation of α-LAC by UF. The strategy was effective, but the pressurization affected UF performance, α-LAC recovery and purity. Hence, the combination of HHP and UF might not be the most efficient strategy for producing an enriched α-LAC fraction, but this study generated significant scientific knowledge about HHP in separation technology.

description: Dengue fever is the most prevalent viral infection, which transmits by the vector mosquito Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus. The development of an effective dengue vaccine is still challenging. Thus, the prevention and control of dengue depend on controlling the transmitting vectors. Traditionally, Echinops kebericho roots are known to have mosquito-repellant properties. Dehydrocostus lactone, one of the major constituents of the roots extract, showed similar larvicidal activity as the standard pesticide permethrin (100% mortality) against the larvae of A. aegypti at 10 µg/mL concentration at 24 h exposure. The derivative compound (13-methoxy dehydrocostus lactone) was inactive against the larvae of A. aegypti. The structure-activity relationship (SAR) suggested that the presence of α- methylene and γ- lactone moieties are responsible for the larvicidal activity of dehydrocostus lactone against the larvae of A. aegypti. Overall, dehydrocostus lactone can be a potential biopesticide against the dengue vector mosquito, A. aegypti.

description: Considering a canonical ensemble, in which the temperature and the charge on a wall of the cavity are fixed, we investigate the thermodynamics of a D-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black hole in a finite spherical cavity. Moreover, it shows that the first law of thermodynamics is still satisfied. We then discuss the phase structure and transition in both five and six dimensions. Specifically, we show that there always exist two regions in the parameter space. In one region, the system possesses one single phase. However in the other region, there could coexist three phases and a van der Waals-like phase transition occurs. Finally, we find that there is a fairly close resemblance in thermodynamic properties and phase structure of a Gauss-Bonnet-Maxwell black hole, either in a cavity or in anti-de Sitter space.

description: Submillimetre maps of NGC 891 have been obtained with the PRONAOS balloon-borne telescope and with the ISOPHOT instrument on board the ISO satellite. In this article, we also gather data from IRAS and SCUBA to present the complete submillimetre spectrum of this nearby edge-on spiral galaxy. We derive submillimetre emission profiles along the major axis. The modified blackbody fits, assuming a single dust component, lead to temperatures of 19-24 K toward the centre and 18-20 K toward the edges, with possible variations of the dust spectral index from 1.4 to 2. The two-component fits lead to a warm component temperature of 29 K all along the galaxy with a cold component at 16 K. The interstellar medium masses derived by these two methods are quite different: 4.6 x 10^9 Mo in the case of the one-component model and 12 x 10^9 Mo in the case of the two-component one. This two-component fit indicates that the cold dust to warm dust ratio is 20 to 40, the highest values being in the wings of this galaxy. Comparing to dust mass estimates, both estimations of the ISM mass are consistent with a gas to dust mass ratio of 240, which is close to the Milky Way value. Our results illustrate the importance of accurate submillimetre spectra to derive masses of the interstellar medium in galaxies.

description: We introduce a compact network for holistic scene flow estimation, called SENSE, which shares common encoder features among four closely-related tasks: optical flow estimation, disparity estimation from stereo, occlusion estimation, and semantic segmentation. Our key insight is that sharing features makes the network more compact, induces better feature representations, and can better exploit interactions among these tasks to handle partially labeled data. With a shared encoder, we can flexibly add decoders for different tasks during training. This modular design leads to a compact and efficient model at inference time. Exploiting the interactions among these tasks allows us to introduce distillation and self-supervised losses in addition to supervised losses, which can better handle partially labeled real-world data. SENSE achieves state-of-the-art results on several optical flow benchmarks and runs as fast as networks specifically designed for optical flow. It also compares favorably against the state of the art on stereo and scene flow, while consuming much less memory.

title: An Econometric Examination of the Trend Unemployment Rate in Canada
Creators: name: Côté, Denise
name: Hostland, Doug
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1996

description: This paper attempts to identify the trend unemployment rate, an empirical concept, using cointegration theory. The authors examine whether there is a cointegrating relationship between the observed unemployment rate and various structural factors, focussing neither on the non-accelerating-inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) nor on the natural rate of unemployment, but rather on the trend unemployment rate, which they define in terms of cointegration. They show that, given the non-stationary nature of the data, cointegration represents a necessary condition for analysing the NAIRU and the natural rate but not a sufficient condition for defining them.

The main finding of the study is that two structural factors—the degree of unionization of the labour force and payroll taxes—can best account for the stochastic trend in the Canadian unemployment rate from 1955 to 1994. Accordingly, deviations of the observed unemployment rate from the trend unemployment rate during that period are treated as containing information relevant for measuring the output gap within the multivariate filter.
description: L'objectif des auteurs est de parvenir à identifier le taux de chômage tendanciel, concept de nature empirique, au moyen de la théorie de la cointégration. Les auteurs cherchent à établir s'il existe une relation de cointégration entre le taux de chômage et les différents déterminants structurels qui sont mis en avant dans la littérature. Leur recherche ne porte pas sur le taux de chômage non accélérationniste (TCNA) ni sur le taux de chômage naturel mais plutôt sur le chômage tendanciel défini dans le cadre de la théorie de la cointégration. Étant donné le caractère non stationnaire des données, l'hypothèse de cointégration représente une condition nécessaire à l'analyse du TCNA et du taux de chômage naturel mais non suffisante.

Le résultat principal de l'étude indique que les déterminants structurels qui expliquent le mieux la tendance stochastique du taux de chômage au Canada au cours de la période 1955-1994 sont le taux de syndicalisation de la population active et les cotisations sociales des employeurs en proportion du total des salaires et traitements. Ainsi, les écarts du taux de chômage observé par rapport au taux tendanciel renferment de l'information susceptible de servir à mesurer l'écart de production dans le cadre du filtre à plusieurs variables ou filtre multivarié.

description: Spectroscopic redshifts have been measured for 9 K-band luminous galaxies at 1.7 < z < 2.3, selected with Ks < 20 in the "K20 survey" region of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey area. Star formation rates (SFRs) of ~100-500 Msun/yr are derived when dust extinction is taken into account. The fitting of their multi-color spectral energy distributions indicates stellar masses M ~ 10^11 Msun for most of the galaxies. Their rest-frame UV morphology is highly irregular, suggesting that merging-driven starbursts are going on in these galaxies. Morphologies tend to be more compact in the near-IR, a hint for the possible presence of older stellar populations. Such galaxies are strongly clustered, with 7 out of 9 belonging to redshift spikes, which indicates a correlation length r_0 ~ 9-17 h^-1 Mpc (1 sigma range). Current semianalytical models of galaxy formation appear to underpredict by a large factor (about 30) the number density of such a population of massive and powerful starburst galaxies at z ~ 2. The high masses and SFRs together with the strong clustering suggest that at z ~ 2 we may have started to explore the major formation epoch of massive early-type galaxies.

title: Interpreting Money-Supply and Interest-Rate Shocks as Monetary-Policy Shocks
Creators: name: Kasumovich, Marcel
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1996

description: In this paper two shocks are analysed using Canadian data: a money-supply shock ("M-shock") and an interest-rate shock ("R-shock"). Money-supply shocks are derived using long-run restrictions based on long-run propositions of monetary theory. Thus, an M-shock is represented by an orthogonalized innovation in the trend shared by money and prices. An R-shock is represented by the orthogonalized innovation in the overnight interest rate. Either type of shock might be interpreted as a monetary-policy shock.

A permanent increase in the nominal stock of M1 generates: a temporary fall in the interest rate, consistent with the liquidity effect; a temporary rise in real output; a permanent increase in the price level; and a permanent depreciation of the nominal exchange rate. Although the behaviour of M1 is not directly controlled by the central bank, the identifying assumption that the central bank controls the long-run trend in money and prices and has no long-run effect on real output appears to be quite reasonable. A temporary positive real-interest-rate shock generates a temporary fall in money and output, but prices rise initially (a "price puzzle") before eventually declining. Both the M-shock and R-shock models are consistent with an active role for money in the transmission of monetary policy.
description: Dans le présent document, l'auteur analyse deux types de choc au moyen de données canadiennes : un choc d'offre de monnaie (le choc M) et un choc de taux d'intérêt (le choc R). Pour identifier le premier type de choc, il recourt aux restrictions de long terme découlant de certaines propositions avancées par la théorie monétaire. Le choc M est représenté par une innovation orthogonale dans la tendance commune qu'affichent la monnaie et les prix, et le choc R, par une innovation orthogonale dans le taux d'intérêt à un jour. L'un ou l'autre de ces chocs peut être interprété comme un choc de politique monétaire.

Une augmentation permanente du stock nominal de monnaie, M1, entraîne les conséquences suivantes: une chute temporaire du taux d'intérêt, conforme à l'effet de liquidité; une hausse passagère de la production exprimée en termes réels; une augmentation permanente du niveau des prix; et une dépréciation permanente du taux de change nominal. Bien que le comportement de M1 ne soit pas contrôlé directement par la banque centrale, l'hypothèse que cette dernière détermine la tendance de la monnaie et des prix à long terme mais qu'elle n'exerce aucune influence sur la production en termes réels en longue période semble fondée. Une hausse temporaire du taux d'intérêt réel provoque une baisse temporaire de la masse monétaire et de la production, mais les prix affichent un comportement plutôt déconcertant, puisqu'ils s'élèvent d'abord avant de redescendre. Les résultats obtenus à l'aide des modèles relatifs aux deux types de choc cadrent avec la thèse voulant que la monnaie joue un rôle actif dans la transmission de la politique monétaire.

description: The exciton localization is studied in GaAs/GaAlAs V-shaped quantum wires (QWRs) by high spatial resolution spectroscopy. Scanning optical imaging of different generations of samples shows that the localization length has been enhanced as the growth techniques were improved. In the best samples, excitons are delocalized in islands of length of the order of 1 micron, and form a continuum of 1D states in each of them, as evidenced by the sqrt(T) dependence of the radiative lifetime. On the opposite, in the previous generation of QWRs, the localization length is typically 50 nm and the QWR behaves as a collection of quantum boxes. These localization properties are compared to structural properties and related to the progresses of the growth techniques. The presence of residual disorder is evidenced in the best samples and explained by the separation of electrons and holes due to the large in-built piezo-electric field present in the structure.

description: Using principal component analysis, a climate index is developed to estimate the linkage between climate and crop yields. The indices based on three climate projections are then applied to forecast future crop yield responses. We identify spatial heterogeneity of crop yield responses to future climate change across a number of U.S. northern and southern states. The results indicate that future hotter/drier weather conditions will likely have significant negative impacts on southern states, whereas only mild impacts are expected in most northern states.

description: We present a comprehensive study of (quasi-)simultaneous radio:X-ray observations of stellar black hole binaries during the spectrally hard X-ray state, finding evidence for a strong correlation between these two bands over more than three orders of magnitude in X-ray luminosity. The correlation extends from the quiescent regime up to close to the soft state transition, where radio emission starts to decline, sometimes below detectable levels, probably corresponding to the physical disappearance of the jet. The X-ray transient V 404 Cygni is found to display the same functional relationship already reported for GX 339-4 between radio and X-ray flux, namely S_radio \propto S_X **(+0.7). In fact the data for all low/hard state black holes is consistent with a universal relation between the radio and X-ray luminosity of the form L_radio \propto L_X **(+0.7), implying that - as L_X decreases - the jet becomes more radiatively efficient with respect to the X-rays. Under the hypothesis of common physics driving the disc-jet coupling in different sources, the observed spread to the best-fit relation can be interpreted in terms of a distribution in Doppler factors. Monte Carlo simulations show that, assuming little or no X-ray beaming, the measured scatter in radio power is consistent with Lorentz factors < 2 for the outflows in the low/hard state, significantly less relativistic than the jets associated with X-ray transients. When combined radio and X-ray beaming is considered, the range of possible jet bulk velocities significantly broadens, allowing highly relativistic outflows, but implying therefore severe X-ray selection effects.

description: Wildfires in British Columbia result not only in large direct damages, but also significant indirect losses associated with lost amenity values and the risk to life and property. The indirect values can potentially be measured by changes in property values. In this study, we assume that the threat of wildfire affects property values by shifting homebuyers’ willingness-to-pay. Using ten years of data from the City of Kelowna, we develop a hedonic pricing model that employs spatial autoregression to determine the marginal effects that wildfire occurrence, average fire size, and the location have on a residential property’s aggregate sales value ($) and on its per unit price ($/m2). Results indicate that historical wildfire occurrence has a statistically significant impact on property values, but that fire size has a more significant impact than frequency. It also appears that homebuyers discount the impact of fire on their purchase if large fires occurred nearby – as if fires do not strike twice in the same region. Finally, the evidence suggests that amenities available in the wildland urban interface add more value to residential properties than that is lost as a result of wildfire risk.

description: This communication presents a study concerning the characterization of maritime pine according to standards EN408 and EN 384 necessary for timber engineering. A comparison of the standard test configuration is performed with a new 4-point bending protocol avoiding the effects of the shear force in the deflection measurement zone. The study highlights difficulties for the estimation of the elasticity model of wood with EN408, which are probably due to inaccuracies in the measurements of low curvatures and due to the complex configuration of loading (coexistence of bending moment and shear force). The standard (EN384) anticipates these difficulties by introducing a fitting function, which is not adequate for the characterization of maritime pine and probably other species. A population of 173 beams sawn timber was tested to estimate their rigidities. An original 4-point bending test with a zone of pure bending covering 75% of the length of the beams is proposed. This configuration clearly exhibits the convergence of measurements, in contrast to EN 408, revealing the reliability of the approach. The deformations generated by this new loading protocol allow a better evaluation of the bending modulus E0. We obtained an increase of elasticity modulus close to 18%, which represents a significant gain for design and strength grading of maritime pine.

description: We investigate an excitonic peak appearing in low-temperature photoluminescence of monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), which is commonly associated with defects and disorder. First, to uncover the intrinsic origin of defect-related excitons, we study their dependence on gate voltage, excitation power, and temperature in a prototypical TMDC monolayer, $MoS_2$. We show that the entire range of behaviors of defect-related excitons can be understood in terms of a simple model, where neutral excitons are bound to ionized donor levels, likely related to sulphur vacancies, with a density of $7\cdot10^{11} cm^{-2}$. Second, to study the extrinsic origin of defect-related excitons, we controllably deposit oxygen molecules in-situ onto the surface of $MoS_2$ kept at cryogenic temperature. We find that in addition to trivial p-doping of $3\cdot10^{12} cm^{-2}$, oxygen affects the formation of defect-related excitons by functionalizing the vacancy. Combined, our results uncover the origin of defect-related excitons, suggest a simple and conclusive approach to track the functionalization of TMDCs, benchmark device quality, and pave the way towards exciton engineering in hybrid organic-inorganic TMDC devices.

title: Reconsidering Cointegration in International Finance: Three Case Studies of Size Distortion in Finite Samples
Creators: name: Godbout, Marie-Josée

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1997

description: This paper reconsiders several recently published but controversial results about the behaviour of exchange rates. In particular, it explores finite-sample problems in the application of cointegration tests and shows how these may have affected the conclusions of recent research. It also demonstrates how simple simulation methods may be used to check the robustness of cointegration tests in particular applied settings, and provides information on the potential sources of size distortion in these tests.

Three case studies are presented. The first is the literature on cointegration and prediction of nominal spot exchange rates spawned by Baillie and Bollerslev (1989). The second is work on the long-run validity of the monetary model of exchange rate determination, particularly the contributions of MacDonald and Taylor (1993; 1994a). The final case study looks at the evidence presented by Kasa (1992) on common stochastic trends in the international stock market. Our results suggest that Baillie and Bollerslev's results are unaffected by finite-sample problems, but that the opposite is true for the other two case studies.
description: Les auteurs de l'étude se penchent sur les résultats controversés obtenus récemment par certains chercheurs au sujet du comportement des taux de change. Ils essaient notamment d'établir la présence de problèmes d'estimation tenant à la taille limitée de l'échantillon et montrent comment ces problèmes influencent les conclusions des études récentes. Ils montrent également comment de simples méthodes de simulation peuvent servir à évaluer la robustesse des tests de cointégration dans des conditions données et avancent différentes sources possibles de distorsions de niveau.

Les auteurs effectuent trois études de cas. La première s'inspire de la littérature que les recherches de Baillie et Bollerslev (1989) ont suscitée sur la cointégration et la prévision des taux de change nominaux au comptant. La seconde s'appuie sur les travaux relatifs à la validité à long terme du modèle monétaire de détermination du taux de change, notamment ceux de MacDonald et Taylor (1993 et 1994). La troisième et dernière étude passe en revue les résultats présentés par Kasa (1992) relativement à l'existence de tendances stochastiques communes aux marchés boursiers internationaux. Les auteurs concluent que les résultats de Baillie et Bollerslev ne sont pas influencés par des problèmes d'estimation liés à la taille limitée de l'échantillon, mais que l'on ne peut en dire autant des résultats examinés dans les deux autres études de cas.

description: An analysis of the optical response of a triangular-shaped photonic band-gap prism is presented. Numerical simulations have been performed in the framework of multiple-scattering theory, which is applied considering spot illumination to avoid diffraction effects. First of all, refractive properties in the frequency range below the first TM band-gap are analyzed and compared with the available experimental data. It validates the approach employed and supports the predictions obtained in the frequency range above the gap. At these high frequencies we found an unusual superprism effect characterized by an angle- and frequency-sensitivity of the intensity of outgoing beams. We report several representative examples that could be used in device applications. The results are interpreted in terms of the corresponding semi-infinite photonic crystal, through the analysis of the coupling between external radiation and bulk eigenmodes, using the 2D Layer- Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker method. The procedure presented here constitutes a simple but functional alternative to the methods used until now with the same purpose.

description: Topological properties in condensed matter physics are often claimed to be a fruitful resource for technical applications, but so far they only play a minor role in applications. Here we propose to put topological edge states to use in tailored graphene for Fermi velocity engineering. By tuning external control parameters such as gate voltages, the dispersions of the edge states regime are modified in a controllable way. This enables the realizations of devices such as tunable delay lines and interferometers with switchable delays.
