Mesmo havendo estudos sobre os hábitos alimentares da L. longicaudis em habitat natural, existem poucas pesquisas em cativeiro. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar a preferência alimentar da Lontra longicaudis em cativeiro no Zoológico Municipal de Guarulhos, São Paulo. Encontrarmos animais dessa espécie no seu ambiente natural e em cativeiro, desperta o interesse de um estudo comparativo sob essas duas condições. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho mostram que, diferentemente dos indivíduos de vida livre, que têm a maior parte de sua dieta composta por peixes, a lontra presente no zoológico, teve preferência por carne bovina com adição de ração, o que pode estar ligado com o fato de ter sido levado ao zoológico ainda filhote, não tendo assim contato direto com alimentos que poderia encontrar na natureza.

description: We constructed several sequences of classical Cepheid envelope models at solar chemical composition ($Y=0.28, Z=0.02$) to investigate the dependence of the pulsation properties predicted by linear and nonlinear hydrodynamical models on input physics. To study the dependence on the equation of state (EOS) we performed several numerical experiments by using the simplified analytical EOS originally developed by Stellingwerf and the recent analytical EOS developed by Irwin. Current findings suggest that the pulsation amplitudes as well as the topology of the instability strip marginally depend on the adopted EOS. We also investigated the dependence of observables predicted by theoretical models on the mass-luminosity (ML) relation and on the spatial resolution across the Hydrogen and the Helium partial ionization regions. We found that nonlinear models are marginally affected by these physical and numerical assumptions. In particular, the difference between new and old models in the location as well as in the temperature width of the instability strip is on average smaller than 200 K. However, the spatial resolution somehow affects the pulsation properties. The new fine models predict a period at the center of the Hertzsprung Progression ($P_{HP}=9.65$$-$9.84 days) that reasonably agree with empirical data based on light curves ($P_{HP}=10.0\pm 0.5$ days; \citealt{mbm92}) and on radial velocity curves ($P_{HP}=9.95\pm 0.05$ days; \citealt{mall00}), and improve previous predictions by Bono, Castellani, and Marconi (2000, hereinafter BCM00).

description: Two-dimensional systems in which there is a competition between long-range repulsion and short range attraction exhibit a remarkable variety of patterns such as stripes, bubbles, and labyrinths. Such systems include magnetic films, Langmuir monolayers, polymers, gels, water-oil mixtures, and two-dimensional electron systems. In many of these systems quenched disorder from the underlying substrate may be present. We examine the dynamics and stripe formation in the presence of both an applied dc drive and quenched disorder. When the disorder strength exceeds a critical value, an applied dc drive can induce a dynamical stripe ordering transition to a state that is more ordered than the originating undriven, unpinned pattern.

description: Central line-strength indices were measured in the blue spectral region for a sample of 98 early-type galaxies in different environments. For most indices (Mgb and in particular) ellipticals in rich clusters and in low-density regions follow the same index-sigma relations. However, striking spectral differences between field ellipticals and their counterparts in the central region of the Coma cluster are found for the first time, with galaxies in the denser environment showing significantly lower C4668 and CN2 absorption strengths. The most convincing interpretation of these results is a difference in abundance ratios, arising from a distinct star formation and chemical enrichment histories of galaxies in different environments. An scenario in which elliptical galaxies in clusters are fully assembled at earlier stages than their low-density counterparts is discussed.

description: We use lattice Boltzmann simulations of the Beris--Edwards formulation of nematodynamics to probe the response of a nematic liquid crystal with conflicting anchoring at the boundaries under shear and Poiseuille flow. The geometry we focus on is that of the hybrid aligned nematic (HAN) cell, common in devices. In the nematic phase, backflow effects resulting from the elastic distortion in the director field render the velocity profile strongly non-Newtonian and asymmetric. As the transition to the isotropic phase is approached, these effects become progressively weaker. If the fluid is heated just above the transition point, however, another asymmetry appears, in the dynamics of shear band formation.

description: In Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 236401 (2002), Jeckelmann argued that the recently discovered bond-order-wave (BOW) phase of the 1D extended Hubbard model does not have a finite extent in the (U,V) plane, but exists only on a segment of a first-order SDW-CDW phase boundary. We here present quantum Monte Carlo result of higher precision and for larger system sizes than previously and reconfirm that the BOW phase does exist a finite distance away from the phase boundary, which hence is a BOW-CDW transition curve.

description: A utilização de plantas no tratamento, cura e prevenção de doenças é uma das práticas mais antigas da humanidade. O interesse em pesquisas nesta área tem aumentado nos últimos anos, e um dos principais fatores é a busca por novos princípios ativos antimicrobianos, devido ao aumento da resistência microbiana aos fármacos existentes. A realização de testes preliminares fáceis e rápidos em extratos de plantas permite a seleção de amostras para análises detalhadas posteriores, abreviando um processo que pode levar à descoberta de novas fontes de compostos com atividade antimicrobiana. Este trabalho teve como objetivo a investigação da metodologia de difusão em disco como ferramenta para um screening preliminar da possível atividade antibacteriana de extratos vegetais contra cepas selvagens de Staphylococcus aureus. O método foi testado em extratos vegetais provenientes de folhas de espécies pertencentes à família Myrtaceae, que se destaca por ser constituída de 150 gêneros e 3.600 espécies distribuídas em todos os biomas, além de ter alto potencial econômico e de aplicações. A coleta do material vegetal foi realizada no município de Campos do Jordão, na colônia de férias Umuarama da Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, durante o segundo semestre de 2017, consistindo de oito espécies: Neomitranthes sp. Kausel ex D. Legrand, Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC, Siphoneugena cf. reitzii D. Legrand, Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC, Myrcia hartwegiana (O. Berg) Kiaersk, Neomitranthes capivariensis (Mattos) Mattos, Siphoneugena cf. reitzii D. Legrand e Myrcia sp. DC. Após secagem e trituração das folhas, foram preparados extratos hidroalcoólicos que foram testados contra Staphylococcus aureus selvagem pelo método de difusão em disco. Observou-se que praticamente todos os extratos apresentaram alguma atividade inibitória, sendo que as amostras de Myrcia splendens (Sw.) DC e Neomitranthes capivariensis (Mattos) Mattos mostraram maior potencial de atividade. Estudos posteriores de determinação de Concentração Inibitória Mínima (MIC) por membros do grupo de pesquisa confirmaram estas atividades, mostrando a eficiência da metodologia de difusão em disco na detecção de atividade. O estudo concluiu que o método de difusão em disco mostrou-se efetivo, sendo um método simples, confiável e econômico para determinação preliminar de sensibilidades antimicrobianas dos extratos vegetais.

description: Os elementos de transposição (TE) foram descobertos por Barbara McClintock em 1940 e eram considerados DNA lixo (junk DNA). Contudo atualmente já se sabe que essas sequências contribuem para a evolução dos organismos e para o aumento da complexidade do genoma, influenciando no número de genes e vias de regulação gênica. Os elementos Alu são elementos de retrotransposição mais comuns em primatas, constituindo aproximadamente 13% do genoma humano. Acredita-se que as primeiras inserções destes elementos no genoma de primatas tenham ocorrido a 65 milhões de anos tornando-se o mais bem-sucedido elemento móvel do genoma humano. As diferentes inserções destes elementos no genoma podem ser utilizadas como marcadores de DNA em estudos de análises genéticas populacionais e filogenéticas e variação gênica em humanos, além de aplicações em teste de paternidade e criminalística. A facilidade de trabalhar com essas inserções, sendo um método informativo e confiável, tem levado os pesquisadores a usá-las como alternativas para o DNA mitocondrial, SNP, SRT e microssatélites.

description: As consequências de uma fraude no mundo da ciência são as mais diversas possíveis. Paul Kammerer (1880–1926) pagou com a vida por uma fraude que nunca se provou ter sido praticada por ele. Defensor da teoria de Jean Baptiste Lamarck (1744–1829) de que as características adquiridas acidentalmente se transmite aos descendentes, Kammerer apresentou no ano de 1923 o resultado de uma pesquisa com sapos, em que obrigou a se acasalarem na água, uma espécie a dos sapos-parteiros de terra firme, que não têm o polegar colorido típico da espécie que vive na água, Kammerer demonstrou que esses sapos uma vez colocados em água tinha adquirido seus polegares coloridos, típicos de outra espécie acostumada com a ovipostura aquática, demonstrando com isso a transmissão de caracteres adquiridos aos descendentes. Em 1926, entretanto, descobriu-se que os polegares dos sapos de Kammerer haviam sido pintados. Foi aberto um inquérito no Instituto de Pesquisas de Viena, apurar o responsável pela fraude. Kammerer sentindo-se desacreditado, matou-se com um tiro na cabeça. O inquérito mostrou-se inconclusivo.

description: We present percolation thresholds calculated numerically with the eigenvalue formulation of the method of critical polynomials; developed in the last few years, it has already proven to be orders of magnitude more accurate than traditional techniques. Here we report the result of large parallel calculations to produce what we believe may become the reference values of bond percolation thresholds on the Archimedean lattices for years to come. For example, for the kagome lattice we find $p_{\rm c}=0.524\,404\,999\,167\,448\,20 (1)$, whereas the best estimate using standard techniques is $p_{\rm c}=0.524\,404\,99(2)$. We further provide strong evidence that there are two classes of lattices: one for which the first three scaling exponents characterizing the finite-size corrections to $p_{\rm c}$ are $Δ=6,7,8$, and another for which $Δ=4,6,8$. We discuss the open questions related to the method, such as the full scaling law, as well as its potential for determining critical points of other models.

description: In this study, the author uses survey data on inflationary expectations to obtain information about the credibility of Canada's monetary policy. By comparing the differences between the forecasts made by survey participants with the targets set by the Bank of Canada for the 1992-1996 period (the period covered by the study), it was possible to determine empirically whether the targets were credible. Likewise, analyzing the forecasting errors by participants made it possible to check whether setting these targets contributed to making inflation more predictable.

The empirical results stemming from the analysis of the differences between the forecasts and the targets suggest that the targets were credible for the period under consideration. Indeed, for a one-year horizon, forecasters predicted a rate of inflation that was very close to the median of the target range. Analysis of the actual forecasting errors suggest also that the setting of targets contributed to reducing forecasting errors relative to the reference index and that Canadian monetary policy became more effective after the targets were implemented.
description: Dans cette étude, l'auteur utilise des données d'enquêtes sur les anticipations d'inflation afin d'obtenir de l'information sur la crédibilité de la politique monétaire au Canada. La décomposition des écarts des prévisions des participants aux sondages par rapport aux cibles établies par la Banque du Canada sur la période 1992-1996 (qui est la période considérée dans cette étude) permet de vérifier empiriquement si ces cibles étaient crédibles. De même, l'analyse des erreurs de prévision des participants permet de vérifier si l'établissement de ces cibles a contribué à rendre l'inflation plus prévisible.

Les résultats empiriques découlant de l'analyse des écarts des prévisions par rapport aux cibles donnent à penser que ces cibles étaient crédibles sur la période considérée. En effet, sur l'horizon d'un an, les prévisionnistes anticipaient un taux d'inflation qui est très près du point médian de la fourchette cible. Également, l'analyse des erreurs de prévision proprement dites laisse supposer que l'établissement des cibles aurait contribué à réduire les erreurs de prévision relatives à l'indice de référence et que la politique monétaire canadienne serait devenue plus efficace après l'établissement des cibles.

description: Os laboratórios de análises clínicas estão expostos a falhas que ocorrem desde o pedido do exame até a emissão do laudo. Alguns exames são efetuados em amostras de soro ou plasma. Logo após a coleta é feita uma inspeção visual por um funcionário. Essa triagem é subjetiva e depende da experiência do profissional, que determina se a amostra é utilizável ou não. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de demonstrar um equipamento de triagem destas amostras, garantindo a qualidade antes da análise. Este equipamento também se propõe a reduzir o erro de identificação das amostras, com a utilização de radiofrequência. O equipamento que lê transversalmente o tubo de coleta de sangue. O método de leitura é espectrofotométrico. É composto por um diodo emissor de luz (LED), em um comprimento de onda fixo, e um foto sensor que capta o feixe de luz do outro lado do tubo. Partindo-se de soluções com concentrações conhecidas, obteve-se uma curva de calibração. Pode-se, assim, obter diretamente da amostra, sem abrir o tubo de coleta, a concentração da hemoglobina, proveniente de hemólise, que interfere nas análises. O resultado fornecerá ao laboratório elementos para a decisão de fazer uma nova coleta ou utilizar essa amostra nos exames requisitados. Os resultados do equipamento foram avaliados pela curva de calibração obtida e o R 2 da regressão dessa curva e foram: y = 0, 1614ln(x)+0, 8552 e R 2 = 0, 961. O aparelho apresentou bons resultados na correlação da concentração da hemoglobina. Outros resultados, sensibilidade e linearidade, também foram adequados.

Creators: name: Dupasquier, Chantal

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1998

description: This paper analyzes the short-run dynamic process of inflation in Canada and examines whether a systematic variation in the relationship between inflation and output can be detected over time. In the theoretical literature, different models of price-setting behaviour predict that the slope of the Phillips curve will be a function of macroeconomic conditions, implying a time-varying sacrifice ratio. Evidence for four different types of asymmetry is presented in the context of short-run Phillips curves estimated in a state-space framework. The results suggest that there is significant time variation in the trade-off in Canada, but that it is difficult to distinguish definitively among the possible models generating the non-linearity.
description: Les auteurs analysent le processus dynamique d'inflation à court terme au Canada et cherchent à établir si une variation systématique de la relation entre l'inflation et la production peut être détectée sur longue période. Les divers modèles théoriques décrivant le processus d'établissement des prix prédisent que la pente de la courbe de Phillips est fonction de la situation macroéconomique, ce qui laisse supposer un ratio de sacrifice variable dans le temps. Les auteurs présentent les résultats qu'ils obtiennent à l'égard de quatre types d'asymétrie différents en estimant des courbes de Phillips à court terme dans un cadre espace d'états. Selon ces résultats, la relation d'arbitrage varie beaucoup dans le temps au Canada, mais il est difficile de déterminer avec certitude lequel des modèles envisagés pourrait être à l'origine de la non-linéarité.

description: Objetivo Avaliar a suscetibilidade ao desenvolvimento de hipertrofia ventricular esquerda em ratos submetidos à dieta hiperlipídica logo após o desmame. Metodologia Ratos Wistar machos recémdesmamados (50–60g) foram divididos em dois grupos experimentais: GC (n=8), ração normolipídica (3% lipídeos, 257 kcal/100 g), e GHL (n=8), dieta hiperlipídica (30% lipídeos, 381 kcal/100 g). Ao final do protocolo de 8 semanas, os animais foram eutanasiados (solução Xilazina (10 mg/Kg) e Quetamina (90 mg/Kg), i.p.) para coleta do coração e dissecção do ventrículo esquerdo (VE), que foi encaminhado às análises histológicas. Cortes transversais do VE foram corados com picrossirius, para quantificação da fração intersticial de colágeno, e hematoxilina/eosina, para medição da área da cavidade, espessura da parede do VE, e diâmetro das células musculares cardíacas. Resultados A análise da fração intersticial de colágeno não demonstrou diferenças entre os grupos GC: (3,5±0,8%) e GHL (4,3±0,4%). Também não foram observadas diferenças quanto à área da cavidade do VE (GC: 9,3±0,7 vs. GHL: 8,6± 0,8 mm2 ) ou quanto à espessura parede do VE (GC: 29,2±0,7 vs. GHL: 28,6±1,2 mm2 ). A medida do diâmetro das células cardíacas também não foi modificada pela dieta hiperlipídica (GC: 8,4±0,3 vs. GHL: 8,0±0,2 µm). Conclusão O consumo de uma dieta hiperlipídica, após período de 8 semanas, não modificou os parâmetros morfométricos cardíacos estudados. Desta forma, a dieta hiperlipídica não aumentou a susceptibilidade dos animais em desenvolver hipertrofia ventricular esquerda.

description: Screening effects of electrons on inhomogeneous nuclear matter, which includes spherical, slablike, and rodlike nuclei as well as spherical and rodlike nuclear bubbles, are investigated in view of possible application to cold neutron star matter and supernova matter at subnuclear densities. Using a compressible liquid-drop model incorporating uncertainties in the surface tension, we find that the energy change due to the screening effects broadens the density region in which bubbles and nonspherical nuclei appear in the phase diagram delineating the energetically favorable shape of inhomogeneous nuclear matter. This conclusion is considered to be general since it stems from a model-independent feature that the electron screening acts to decrease the density at which spherical nuclei become unstable against fission and to increase the density at which uniform matter becomes unstable against proton clustering.

title: On the Believable Benefits of Low Inflation
Creators: name: Ragan, Christopher
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1998

description: This paper reviews the existing theoretical and empirical literature addressing the benefits of low inflation. The ultimate goal is to arrive at a set of benefits in which a monetary authority can have genuine confidence. I argue that the current state of economic research—both empirical and theoretical—provides little basis for believing in significant observable benefits of low inflation such as an increase in the growth rate of real GDP. Moreover, what observable benefits do exist are unlikely to justify a policy of disinflation, even if the transitional costs of disinflation are quite moderate. I conclude that defending a policy of moderate disinflation requires more attention to be paid to the benefits of low inflation that are unobservable in familiar aggregate data. This naturally poses some policy challenges to central banks contemplating a disinflation.
description: L'auteur fait un survol des travaux théoriques et empiriques consacrés aux avantages d'un bas niveau d'inflation. L'objectif ultime de ces travaux est d'établir l'existence d'avantages dans lesquels les autorités monétaires puissent avoir pleinement confiance. Selon l'auteur, l'état actuel des recherches -- tant empiriques que théoriques -- ne permet pas de conclure qu'un bas niveau d'inflation présente d'importants avantages observables, comme une hausse du taux de croissance du PIB en termes réels. En outre, les avantages que l'on observe effectivement ne semblent pas suffisants pour justifier une politique de désinflation, même si les coûts d'une telle politique durant la période de transition se révèlent peu élevés. L'auteur conclut que, pour parvenir à justifier une politique de désinflation modérée, il faut se pencher de plus près sur les avantages qui ne sont pas observables dans les données globales les plus couramment utilisées, ce qui pose bien sûr plusieurs défis aux banques centrales qui envisagent d'adopter une politique de cette nature.

description: Dynamics of inelastic gases are studied within the framework of random collision processes. The corresponding Boltzmann equation with uniform collision rates is solved analytically for gases, impurities, and mixtures. Generally, the energy dissipation leads to a significant departure from the elastic case. Specifically, the velocity distributions have overpopulated high energy tails and different velocity components are correlated. In the freely cooling case, the velocity distribution develops an algebraic high-energy tail, with an exponent that depends sensitively on the dimension and the degree of dissipation. Moments of the velocity distribution exhibit multiscaling asymptotic behavior, and the autocorrelation function decays algebraically with time. In the forced case, the steady state velocity distribution decays exponentially at large velocities. An impurity immersed in a uniform inelastic gas may or may not mimic the behavior of the background, and the departure from the background behavior is characterized by a series of phase transitions.

description: In this draft we comment on the results concerning the performances of matched filters, scale adaptive filters and Mexican hat wavelet that recently appeared in literature in the context of point source detection in Cosmic Microwave Background maps. In particular, we show that, contrary to what has been claimed, the use of the matched filters still appear to be the most reliable and efficient method to disantangle point sources from the backgrounds, even when using detection criterion that, differently from the classic $nσ$ thresholding rule, takes into account not only the height of the peaks in the signal corresponding to the candidate sources but also their curvature.

description: Atualmente o Cerrado brasileiro encontra-se entre domínios fitogeográficos mais afetados pela ação do homem, chegando a ter 80% de sua extensão modificada. Um fator característico dos cerrados é a incidência de incêndios naturais. O fogo interfere na estrutura de populações vegetais, direta ou indiretamente, afetando a composição do solo e sua disponibilidade de nutrientes. Sendo assim, o seguinte trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os efeitos da queimada no solo, em diferentes profundidades, em relação ao pH, matéria orgânica e umidade relativa em áreas de cerrado do Parque Estadual do Juquery. O teor de matéria orgânica foi maior próximo à superfície do solo e maior em áreas queimadas em relação às áreas intactas com vegetação natural. Isso se deve pelo acelerado processo de mineralização provocados pelas queimadas, que pode diminuir a concentração de alumínio da camada superficial do solo, aumentando o valor do pH encontrado superficialmente na área recentemente queimada. Já a umidade relativa do solo a 20 cm de profundidade foi menor no solo onde a vegetação estava intacta, provavelmente por estar em locais mais elevado em comparação com as áreas queimadas. Assim, o presente trabalho evidencia alguns efeitos do fogo sobre parâmetros abióticos do solo

description: Henry Fairfield Osborn (1857–1935) fez diversas contribuições para a biologia e para outras diferentes áreas do conhecimento como educação, ciência, religião e antropologia. Como estudante de geologia já havia feito o reconhecimento geológico de montanhas, participado de expedição científica coletando fósseis de vertebrados e plantas, assim como dedicou-se aos estudos de paleontologia desde esse período. Após formar-se, trabalhou durante vinte anos na universidade de Princeton, onde publicou artigos científicos sobre paleontologia de mamíferos, anfíbios e répteis. Sob a influência principalmente de Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895), Osborn interessou-se pela temática evolução, utilizando-se de vários modelos evolutivos, desde os princípios defendidos por Lamarck até as propostas de Darwin, inúmeras vezes contemplando os dois naturalistas como subsídios para suas explicações para a origem das características encontradas nos fósseis que estudava. Este trabalho visou apresentar como Osborn utilizou diferentes princípios evolutivos para explicar as variações encontradas nos fósseis descobertos e descritos, assim como entender quais os pesquisadores que deram base às suas ideias e que o inspiravam.

description: In this contribution, feeding behaviour assays with the three species Paucumara falcata, Dugesia sp. and Girardia sp. were used to investigate the function of the pharynx during feeding and whether absence of feeding behaviour until full regeneration is a widespread phenomenon among planarians from different taxonomic groups. Our results showed that feeding behaviour of decapitated flatworms was inhibited. Intact worms responded only to pork liver pieces, but isolated pharynges were highly responsive to both pork liver pieces and pork liver extracts. After transverse cutting, the oral part of the isolated pharynx was responsive, while the aboral part showed no response to food items, suggesting that the oral portion of pharynx plays a crucial role during feeding.

description: We present two applications of quantum integrable systems. First, we predict that it is possible to generate high harmonics from solid state devices by demostrating that the emission spectrum for a minimally coupled laser field of frequency $ω$ to an impurity system of a quantum wire, contains multiples of the incoming frequency. Second, evaluating expressions for the conductance in the high temperature regime we show that the caracteristic filling fractions of the Jain sequence, which occur in the fractional quantum Hall effect, can be obtained from quantum wires which are described by minimal affine Toda field theories.

description: At singular points of a wave field, where the amplitude vanishes, the phase may become singular and wavefront dislocation may occur. In this Letter, we investigate for wave fields in one spatial dimension the appearance of these essentially linear phenomena. We introduce the Chu-Mei quotient as it is known to appear in the 'nonlinear dispersion relation' for wave groups as a consequence of the nonlinear transformation of the complex amplitude to real phase-amplitude variables. We show that unboundedness of this quotient at a singular point, related to unboundedness of the local wavenumber and frequency, is a generic property and that it is necessary for the occurrence of phase singularity and wavefront dislocation, while these phenomena are generic too. We also show that the 'soliton on finite background', an explicit solution of the NLS equation and a model for modulational instability leading to extreme waves, possesses wavefront dislocations and unboundedness of the Chu-Mei quotient.

title: La politique monétaire a-t-elle des effets asymétriques sur l'emploi?
Creators: name: Pichette, Lise
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1998

description: Several economists, including Cover (1992), Ammer and Brunner (1995), Macklem, Paquet, and Phaneuf (1996), have worked over the past few years to determine whether monetary policy shocks have asymmetric effects on output. These authors have generally found that negative monetary shocks tend to reduce output growth significantly, and that positive shocks generally have a weaker or even negligible impact.

The goal of this study is to determine whether asymmetric reactions can be observed in the Canadian labour market. Because employment is an important factor in the output process, discovering how this variable reacts to monetary policy shocks could lead to a better understanding of where asymmetric effects on output originate. I have estimated the model in two stages, using the generalized moments method, and have made correction to the variance-covariance matrix of estimators proposed by Newey (1984) in order to take into account the generated regressors.

Overall, the results agree with those of previous output studies, except for employment defined as the number of hours worked per person in each period. The asymmetric effects observed, however, diminish or disappear altogether when other real variables are added to the model.
description: Depuis quelques années, certains économistes, dont Cover (1992), Ammer et Brunner (1995), Macklem, Paquet et Phaneuf (1996), tentent de déterminer si les chocs de politique monétaire ont des effets asymétriques sur la production. Ces auteurs ont généralement observé que les chocs monétaires négatifs ont tendance à réduire de façon significative la croissance de la production, alors que les chocs positifs auraient des effets plus faibles et souvent non significatifs.

L'objectif de la présente étude est de déterminer si des réactions asymétriques sont observables au niveau du marché du travail au Canada. L'emploi étant un facteur important du processus de production, la réaction de cette variable à des chocs de politique monétaire pourrait aider à mieux comprendre la source des effets asymétriques sur la production. J'ai estimé le modèle en deux étapes par la méthode des moments généralisés et j'ai effectué une correction de la matrice de variance-covariance des estimateurs proposée par Newey (1984) afin de tenir compte de la présence des régresseurs générés.

Dans l'ensemble, les résultats obtenus concordent avec ceux des travaux antérieurs sur la production, sauf pour l'emploi défini comme le nombre d'heures de travail par personne à chaque période. Toutefois, les effets asymétriques observés diminuent ou disparaissent lorsque d'autres variables réelles sont ajoutées au modèle.
