Comments on Ashcraft, Garleanu, and Pedersen, "Two Monetary Tools: Interest Rates and Haircuts"

Public policy (Law)

description: It is common to consider monetary policy as a unidimensional problem, involving only the choice of an operating target for some short-term interest rate (the federal funds rate, in the case of the Federal Reserve). But other aspects of policy have been at center stage much of the time in the Fed’s response to the recent financial crisis. In particular, whereas the Fed has traditionally adhered (at least to a large extent) to a policy of “Treasuries only” (Goodfriend 2011), under which the only asset on its balance sheet should be (mostly short-term) U.S. Treasury securities, the Fed has recently been involved in fairly large-scale extensions of credit to private institutions. These new programs have included “liquidity facilities” that extend (relatively short-term) credit to financial institutions of various types; facilities like the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), discussed in this paper, that provide longer term financing for purchasers of privately issued financial assets, and thus effectively make the Fed a financial intermediary itself, rather than a mere supplier of liquidity to such intermediaries; and direct purchases of securities other than Treasuries, as in the case of the Commercial Paper Funding Facility (CPFF), which I discuss further below.

It is therefore an important question for the theory of monetary policy to consider to what extent these additional dimensions of policy serve additional purposes that could not already be achieved through traditional interest rate policy. There are actually two questions that need to be considered: first, whether such policies should be effective at all, in changing financial conditions; and second, to the extent that they are effective and whether they are simply substitutes for more aggressive use of interest rate policy. The present paper is one of the first to directly address these important questions; it provides cogent theoretical and empirical analyses of the first question, and an interesting theoretical argument with regard to the second question as well. Notably, the paper’s argument for the relevance of central bank “haircut policy,” even given the availability of traditional interest rate policy, does not turn on the observation that interest rate policy is sometimes (as in the United States since December 2008) constrained by the zero lower bound on nominal interest rates; this suggests the possibility of routine intervention along this dimension, rather than resorting to it only during especially severe crises (which are the only times that the zero lower bound is likely to be an issue).
An Interview with William A. Brock

description: William A. Brock has taught in the Departments of Economics at the University of Rochester, Cornell University, and the University of Chicago, before moving to the University of Wisconsin, Madison, where he is now Vilas Research Professor of Economics. He has also been an External Professor at the Santa Fe Institute since 1989. His many awards include election as a Fellow of the Econometric Society in 1974, a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1992, and as a Member of the National Academy of Sciences in 1998. His over 100 invited lectures include presentations in Poland, Belgium, France, Mexico, Canada, Japan, Australia, England, Sweden, Norway, and Australia.
Brock has been a leading contributor to the development of methods of intertemporal equilibrium analysis in the areas of growth theory, monetary theory, and finance. More recently, he has played a crucial role in the development of new methods for the analysis of nonlinear dynamics in macroeconomics and finance, and models of expectations that relax the assumption of rational expectations. I interviewed Buz in the faculty cafeteria near the Social Science Research Institute building, on the Madison campus of the University of Wisconsin, on October 22, 1998. Our interview was interrupted when he had to go to teach, and then was finished by phone on December 11, 1998. The transcript that follows does little justice to the liveliness of Buz’s conversation, mainly because of my inability to transcribe the animated facial expressions and hand gestures that made the mathematical references more concrete. I have added several footnotes to the transcript, identifying some of the published sources that were mentioned during our conversation.

description: From page 323 -- 'The standard, quantity-theoretic approach to the price level is based on a transactions demand for money. Financial innovation challenges the foundations of this monetary theory: More and more transactions are handled electronically or via credit and debit cards, while ATMs, sweep accounts, and banking by computer have a major influence on cash management. Meanwhile, a wide array of privately provided, liquid, interest-paying, and often nonreservable assets have been created, leaving the supply of transaction-facilitating assets beyond the Fed's control. The quantity theory has also not had much success in describing the history of postwar U.S. inflation: Inflation seems to have very little to do with the history of monetary aggregates or interest rates. Money demand relations are dominated by velocity shocks, unrelated to changes in financial structure. Recent inflation has been remarkably stable despite continuing financial innovation.
Motivated by these observations, I ask: Can we understand the history of U.S. inflation using a framework that ignores monetary frictions? Until recently, there was no coherent way to think about this question: some friction seemed necessary to determine any value for unbacked fiat money. Recently, however, a series of authors including Leeper (1991), Sims (1994, 1997), and Woodford (1995, 1996, 1997) have advocated a fiscal theory of the price level. The analytical content of the fiscal theory is just the government's intertemporal budget constraint, versions of nominal debt divided by price level equals present value of real surpluses.'

description: We present a parametric study of the diffuse magnetic scattering at (1/2,1/2,1/2) positions in reciprocal space, ascribed to a frozen antiferromagnetic spin ice state in single crystalline Tb2Ti2O7. Our high-resolution neutron scattering measurements show that the elastic (-0.02 meV < E < 0.02 meV) (1/2,1/2,1/2) scattering develops strongly below ~275 mK, and correlates with the opening of a spin gap of ~0.06-0.08 meV over most of the Brillouin zone. The concomitant low-lying magnetic spin excitations are weakly dispersive and appear to soften near the (1/2,1/2,1/2) wave vector at 80 mK. The nature of the transition at 275 mK has many characteristics of spin glass behavior, consistent with ac-susceptibility measurements. The application of a magnetic field of 0.075 T applied along the [1-10] direction destroys the (1/2,1/2,1/2) elastic scattering, revealing the fragility of this short-range ordered ground state. We construct a refined H-T phase diagram for Tb2Ti2O7 and [1-10] fields which incorporates this frozen spin ice regime and the antiferromagnetic long-range order previously known to be induced in relatively large fields. Specific heat measurements on the same crystal reveal a sharp anomaly at Tc~450 mK and no indication of a transition near ~275 mK. We conclude that the higher temperature specific heat peak is not related to the magnetic ordering but is likely a signal of other, nonmagnetic, correlations.

description: The shear viscosity of a variety of strongly interacting quantum fluids, ranging from ultracold atomic Fermi gases to quark-gluon plasmas, can be accurately measured. On the contrary, no experimental data exist, to the best of our knowledge, on the shear viscosity of two-dimensional quantum electron liquids hosted in a solid-state matrix. In this Letter we propose a Corbino disk device, which allows a determination of the viscosity of a quantum electron liquid from the dc potential difference that arises between the inner and the outer edge of the disk in response to an oscillating magnetic flux.

Monetary Policy in the Information Economy

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Economics
Public policy (Law)

description: From page 298 -- 'Here, I consider two possible grounds for such concern. I first consider the consequences of increased information on the part of market participants about monetary policy actions and decisions. According to the view that the effectiveness of monetary policy is enhanced by, or even entirely dependent upon, the ability of central banks to surprise the markets, there might be reason to fear that monetary policy will be less effective in the information economy. I then consider the consequences of financial innovations tending to reduce private-sector demand for the monetary base. These include the development of techniques that allow financial institutions to more efficiently manage their customers’ balances in accounts subject to reserve requirements and their own balances in clearing accounts at the central bank, so that a given volume of payments in the economy can be executed with a smaller quantity of central-bank balances. And somewhat more speculatively, some argue that “electronic money” of various sorts may soon provide alternative means of payment that can substitute for those currently supplied by central banks. It may be feared that such developments can soon eliminate what small leverage central banks currently have over the private economy, so that again monetary policy will become ineffective.'

Indeed, the final product is an aggregate investment equation that has aggregate equipment investment on the left-hand side and not only aggregate, but also microeconomic variables on the right-hand side. Throughout the paper we attempt to explain equipment investment.'

description: Deepfake technology powered by Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) has raised significantconcerns because of its ability to create highly realistic but fraudulent digital content, including videos,images, and audio. While initially used for entertainment purposes, deepfakes are now being exploited formalicious activities, such as fake celebrity endorsements, political propaganda, corporate espionage, andidentity theft. This study examines various real-time scenarios in India where deepfakes are used forharmful purposes, ranking their potential impact on individuals, businesses, and national security. It alsoexplores common prevention mechanisms, mitigation strategies, and challenges in addressing the threatsposed by deepfake technology. Effective countermeasures, such as AI-based detection systems, multifactor authentication, and secure communication channels, are essential for minimizing risks.Furthermore, international collaboration and legal action are crucial for tackling evolving threats. Thewidespread use of deepfake technology necessitates continuous innovation and public awareness tosafeguard against its misuse.

Self-Fulfilling Expectations and Fluctuations in Aggregate Demand
Creators: name: Woodford, Michael
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1990
Subjects: Economics

description: This paper presents an intertemporal general equilibrium model with rationing in the product market, in which stationary sunspot equilibria are shown to exist, indicating the possibility of fluctuations in economic activity simply due to self-fulfilling variations in economic agents' expectations. Specifically, revised expectations about future aggregate demand change current investment demand, which (amplified by a 'multiplier' process) then affects current aggregate demand. Parameter values required for endogenous fluctuations are discussed, as well as quantitative properties of the fluctuations predicted. Countercyclical stabilization policies are shown to rule out such equilibria.

Energy Taxes and Aggregate Economic Activity

Subjects: Economics

description: This paper shows that the output losses from energy taxes are significantly larger than usually computed when due account is taken of imperfect competition among energy-using firms. Even with perfect competition among these firms, the loss in GNP is of the same order of magnitude as the revenue raised by these taxes. However, in the presence of imperfect competition the output losses are much higher. There are particularly large transitory losses in the immediate aftermath of energy-price increases when firms act as implicitly colluding oligopolists. These losses become considerably smaller if energy taxes are phased in. We also show that taxes that affect only household consumption of energy have much smaller effects. In particular, for the empirically plausible parameter values we consider, such taxes have no effect on employment or output in the non-energy sector.
Central Bank Communication and Policy Effectiveness

description: A notable change in central banking over the past 15 years has been a world-wide movement toward increased communication by central banks about their policy decisions, the targets that they seek to achieve through those decisions, and the central bank's view of the economy's likely future evolution. This paper considers the role of such communication in the successful conduct of monetary policy, with a particular emphasis on an issue that remains controversial: to what extent is it desirable for central banks to comment on the likely path of short-term interest rates?

After reviewing general arguments for and against central-bank transparency, the paper considers two specific contexts in which central banks have been forced to consider how much they are willing to say about the future path of interest rates. The first is the experiment with policy signaling by the FOMC in the U.S., using the statement released following each Committee meeting, since August 2003. The second is the need to make some assumption about future policy when producing the projections (for future inflation and other variables) that are central to inflation-forecast targeting procedures, of the kind used by the Bank of England, the Swedish Riksbank, the Reserve Bank of New Zealand, and others. In both cases, it is argued that increased willingness to share the central bank's own assumptions about future policy with the public has increased the predictability of policy, in ways that are likely to have improved central bank's ability to achieve their stabilization objectives.

Galactic planetary science

description: Planetary science beyond the boundaries of our Solar System is today in its infancy. Until a couple of decades ago, the detailed investigation of the planetary properties was restricted to objects orbiting inside the Kuiper Belt. Today, we cannot ignore that the number of known planets has increased by two orders of magnitude nor that these planets resemble anything but the objects present in our own Solar System. Whether this fact is the result of a selection bias induced by the kind of techniques used to discover new planets -mainly radial velocity and transit - or simply the proof that the Solar System is a rarity in the Milky Way, we do not know yet. What is clear, though, is that the Solar System has failed to be the paradigm not only in our Galaxy but even 'just' in the solar neighbourhood. This finding, although unsettling, forces us to reconsider our knowledge of planets under a different light and perhaps question a few of the theoretical pillars on which we base our current 'understanding'. The next decade will be critical to advance in what we should perhaps call Galactic planetary science. In this paper, we review highlights and pitfalls of our current knowledge of this topic and elaborate on how this knowledge might arguably evolve in the next decade.More critically, we identify what should be the mandatory scientific and technical steps to be taken in this fascinating journey of remote exploration of planets in our Galaxy.

Methods of Policy Accommodation at the Interest-Rate Lower Bound

Subjects: Economics
Public policy (Law)

description: From page 2 -- 'This paper discusses two of the main alternatives, that have been the focus not only of considerable recent discussion, but a fair amount of policy experimentation, in a number of countries. The first of these is forward guidance — explicit statements by a central bank about the outlook for future policy, in addition to its announcements about the immediate policy actions that it is undertaking. While this is not necessarily a dimension of policy that becomes relevant only at the interest-rate lower bound, the experience of reaching the lower bound has undoubtedly increased the willingness of central banks like the Fed to experiment with more explicit forms of forward guidance, making statements about future policy that are both more precise and quantitative and that refer to policy decisions much farther in the future than was understood to be intended in the case of past (relatively cryptic) statements about future policy.'

We introduce a class of monotone approximation schemes relying on monotone interpolation. These schemes converge under very weak assumptions, including the case of arbitrary degenerate diffusions. Besides providing a unifying framework that includes several known first order accurate schemes, stability and convergence results are given, along with two different robust error estimates. Finally, the method is applied to a super-replication problem from finance.

Optimal Inflation Targeting Rules

Subjects: Economics

description: This paper characterizes optimal monetary policy for a range of alternative economic models in terms of a flexible inflation targeting rule, with a target criterion that depends on the model specification. It shows which forecast horizons should matter, and which variables besides inflation should be taken into account, for each specification.

The likely quantitative significance of the various factors considered in the general discussion is then assessed by estimating a small, structural model of the U.S. monetary transmission mechanism with explicit optimizing foundations. An optimal policy rule is computed for the estimated model, and shown to correspond to a multi-stage inflation-forecast targeting procedure. The degree to which actual U.S. policy over the past two decades has conformed to the optimal target criteria is then considered.

description: The present work deals with irreversible Universal thermodynamics. The homogenous and isotropic flat model of the universe is chosen as open thermodynamical system and non-equilibrium thermodynamics comes into picture due to the mechanism of particle creation. For simplicity, entropy flow is considered only due to heat conduction. Further, due to Maxwell-Cattaneo modified Fourier law for non-equilibrium phenomenon, the temperature satisfies damped wave equation instead of heat conduction equation. Validity of generalized second law of thermodynamics (GSLT) has been investigated for Universe bounded by apparent or event horizon with cosmic substrutum as perfect fluid with constant or variable equation of state or interacting dark species. Finally, we have used three Planck data sets to constrain the thermal conductivity λand the coupling parameter b^2. These constraints must be satisfied in order for GSLT to hold for Universe bounded by apparent or event horizons.

Inflation Targeting and Financial Stability

Public policy (Law)

description: From page 1 -- 'A number of commentators have suggested that central banks should reconsider the desirability of inflation targeting in the light of the global financial crisis. Early on, Paul DeGrauwe (2007) asserted that the crisis had “unveiled the fallacy” of the consensus view in favor of inflation targeting as an approach; a little later, Axel Leijonhufvud (2008) argued that inflation targeting “has failed” as a strategy, and that “the problems we now face are in large part due to this policy failure”; and more recently, Francesco Giavazzi and Alberto Giovannini (2010) have proposed that inflation targeting, as conventionally practiced, “can ... increase the likelihood of a financial crisis.”
How seriously should inflation-targeting central banks take these charges? I think it is important to distinguish between inflation targeting as such and the more specific doctrine — enunciated by some prominent proponents of inflation targeting, but not, in my view, a defining feature of this approach to the conduct of monetary policy — according to which central banks need not pay attention to asset prices, or more generally to concerns relating to financial stability, when making monetary policy decisions.'

description: We discuss the statistics of heat current between two superconductors at different temperatures connected by a generic weak link. As the electronic heat in superconductors is carried by Bogoliubov quasiparticles, the heat transport fluctuations follow the Levitov--Lesovik relation. We identify the energy-dependent quasiparticle transmission probabilities and discuss the resulting probability density and fluctuation relations of the heat current. We consider multichannel junctions, and find that heat transport in diffusive junctions is unique in that its statistics is independent of the phase difference between the superconductors. Curiously, phase dependence reappears if phase coherence is partially broken.

description: We examine to what extent variants of inflation-forecast targeting can avoid stabilization bias, incorporate history-dependence, and achieve determinacy of equilibrium, so as to reproduce a socially optimal equilibrium. We also evaluate these variants in terms of the transparency of the connection with the ultimate policy goals and the robustness to model perturbations. A suitably designed inflation-forecast targeting rule can achieve the social optimum and at the same time have a more transparent connection to policy goals and be more robust than competing instrument rules.

description: Context: Little is known about the specific breastmilk components responsible for protective effects on infant obesity. Whether 12,13-diHOME, an oxidized linoleic acid metabolite and activator of brown fat metabolism, is present in human milk, or linked to infant adiposity, is unknown. We therefore examined associations between concentrations of 12,13-diHOME in human milk and infant adiposity. We additionally examined concentrations of 12,13-diHOME in commercial cow milk-derived infant formula. We also examined associations between additional metabolites and lipids recently reported to play a role in brown adipose tissue, in human breast milk, and infant adiposity. Participants: Volunteer sample of 58 exclusively breastfeeding mother-infant pairs; exclusion criteria included smoking, gestational diabetes, and health conditions with the potential to influence maternal or infant weight gain.
Main outcome measures: Infant anthropometric measures including weight, length, BMI, and body composition at birth and at 1, 3 and 6 months postpartum.Results: We report for the first time that 12,13-diHOME is present in human milk. Higher milk 12,13-diHOME was associated with increased weight-for-length (WFL) Z-score at birth (b=0.5742, p=0.0008), lower infant fat mass percent at 1-month (p=0.021), and reduced gain in body mass index (BMI) Z-score from 0 to 6-months (b=-0.3997, p=0.025). We observed similar associations between infant adiposity and milk abundance of related oxidized linoleic acid metabolites 12,13-epOME and 9,10-diHOME, and metabolites linked to thermogenesis including succinate and lyso-phosphatidylglycerol 18:0. Milk abundance of 12,13-diHOME was not associated with maternal BMI, but was positively associated with maternal height, milk glucose concentration, and was significantly increased after a bout of moderate exercise. Conclusions: We report novel associations between milk abundance of 12,13-diHOME and adiposity during infancy.

Injection: Hadron Beams

Subjects: single-turn; multi-turns; charge-exchange; mismatch; aperture; machine protection.

description: The injection process consists in placing a particle beam into a circular hadron accelerator or accumulator at the right time, on the correct orbit, with the right phase-space parameters and minimising the beam losses. Injection insertions are one of the most complex parts of an accelerator and, if not properly designed, can compromise the beam quality and, in the worst case, bring to machine damage.
An overview on the main principles and hardware used for single, multi-turn and charge-exchange injection systems are presented. Common injection errors and their consequences are explained together with the definition of the machine aperture and the concept of protection devices. Examples of non-conventional injection processes are introduced.

Seismology and seismic exploration

description: Through over 10 years of research and innovative studies, Ludvika Mines (operated by Nordic Iron Ore) in central Sweden has witnessed over 4 campaigns of 2D seismic surveys, a sparse 3D survey, a dedicated surface and downhole fiber-optic sensing survey acquired with a collocated 3C and broadband geophone array as well as numerous UAV, helicopter, fix-wing magnetic and electromagnetic surveys. The site also provides a wealth of borehole data (geochemistry and assay data) and downhole physical properties including magnetic susceptibility, density, P- and S-wave velocities, remnant magnetization, AMS, IP and electrical conductivity. Seismically, the main target, a series of sheet-like iron-oxide mineralization, magnetite and hematite, is reflective, however, it shows a complex nature including multiple reflections, suddenly truncated with enigmatic diffraction signals. These horizons and a number of crosscutting reflections have been the challenge of several recent studies including the use of deep- learning solutions for diffraction mapping and enhancement.
 The mineralization and structures controlling the geometry of the deposits are of significant relevance since the mining operation is expected to commence in a couple of years. Historical mine tailings cover part of the area and severely complicate imaging the deposits underneath them because of their slow velocity, varying thickness and attenuative nature. Active and passive seismic recordings have partly resolved this problem, however, more needs to be done to characterize the tailings and the potential resources underneath them including possible repurposing of the tailing materials. In this presentation, we primarily focus on the technical works, showcase possibilities for future works from data integration, interpretation and even new data. Arguably, the Ludvika Mines has led to more research publications and testing new prototypes and solutions than many other similar type sites, hence worthwhile emphasising it here.
Phase Space Painting and H- Stripping Injection
Creators: name: Bracco, Chiara
Publisher: name: CERN
Year: 2018
Subjects: Multi-turn injection; charge exchange; high power; stripping foil; phase space painting

description: The achievable hadron beam density at injection can be limited by space charge or by the capacity of the injectors.Conventional multi-turn injection allows to augment the total intensity but determines also a linear increase of the beamemittance with the number of injected turns and is characterised by high losses at the septum.
These limits can be overcome with the H$^-$ charge exchange injection technique and high power beams can be produced.
The combination with transverse and/or longitudinal phase space painting allow to control the size and distribution of the injected particles and minimise the number of foil hits for the circulating beam. In the following, the H- charge exchange technique is described in detail together with the related hardware, main achievements and complications.

Efficient MIMO Transmission of PSK Signals With a Single-Radio Reconfigurable Antenna

description: Crucial developments to the recently introduced signal-space approach for multiplexing multiple data symbols using a single-radio switched antenna are presented. First, we introduce a general framework for expressing the spatial multiplexing relation of the transmit signals only from the antenna scattering parameters and the modulating reactive loading. This not only avoids tedious far-field calculations, but more importantly provides an efficient and practical strategy for spatially multiplexing PSK signals of any modulation order. The proposed approach allows ensuring a constant impedance matching at the input of the driving antenna for all symbol combinations, and as importantly uses only passive reconfigurable loads. This obviates the use of reconfigurable matching networks and active loads, respectively, thereby overcoming stringent limitations of previous single-feed MIMO techniques in terms of complexity, efficiency, and power consumption. The proposed approach is illustrated by the design of a realistic very compact antenna system optimized for multiplexing QPSK signals. The results show that the proposed approach can bring the MIMO benefits to the low-end user terminals at a reduced RF complexity.

Year: 2018
Subjects: cyclotron; injection; extraction; turn separation

description: After an introduction to related basics of cyclotrons, this article describes injection and extraction schemes in cyclotrons. Often these represent the critical aspects of cyclotron designs. For injection internal sources, electrostatic inflectors, horizontal injection and matching are discussed. For extraction the scaling of turn separation, electrostatic septa and charge exchange extraction are covered. Low loss extraction of high intensity beams is discussed in particular detail.
