Essays in dynamic macroeconomics: public policy, household savings, and lack of commitment

description: This dissertation consists of three chapters that study how public and private agents make decisions in the absence of commitment. Chapter 1 investigates how the option to default on debt payments affects the conduct of public policy when the government lacks commitment. It studies optimal monetary and fiscal policy without commitment for a cash-credit good economy that is extended by incorporating a discrete default choice. When the government can default on its debt, public policy is shown to change in the short and the long run relative to a scenario without default option. The risk of default increases the volatility of interest rates, impeding the government's ability to smooth tax distortions across states. It also limits public debt accumulation and reduces the government's incentive to implement high inflation in the long run. Chapter 2 is also dedicated to the interaction between monetary and fiscal policy in the absence of commitment but studies the consequences of delegating monetary policy to an inflation conservative central banker. In particular, it develops a model of a small open economy that faces incomplete financial markets, risk of default and political distortions. These frictions matter for many emerging economies and might adversely affect the effectivity and desirability of monetary policy delegation. In the model, monetary and fiscal policy is set by two different authorities. Fiscal policy is chosen by a fiscal authority that exhibits a deficit bias due to political economy frictions and cannot commit to future policies, including debt repayment. Monetary policy is set by a central bank which also lacks commitment and might place a higher value on price stability than society. Despite increasing the average debt burden, the frequency of default and the volatility of fiscal policy, inflation conservatism leads to net welfare gains by successfully implementing lower and more stable inflation. Chapter 3 develops a model of a two-person household whose individual members are altruistic towards each other and lack commitment to future actions, showing how household decision making depends on whether household members cooperate or not. Compared to a household that consists of members that cooperate and make decisions based on a joint objective, the non-cooperative interaction between household members is associated with a savings distortion. When household members are imperfectly altruistic, this distortion is shown to result in an undersaving bias. Using a model version with labor income risk and a precautionary savings motive, Chapter 3 shows that non-cooperative households might save substantially less than cooperative ones when the individual members exhibit imperfect spousal altruism, resulting in sizable welfare losses.

description: Unlike the minimally coupled gravity theory where matter is coupled with gravity in such a manner so that one can differentiate the matter and gravity sector uniquely, the non-minimally coupled theories (NMCT) are distinguished by the intermingling of two. As a consequence of this the calculation of the energy momentum tensor (EMT) in NMCT is beset with an arbitrariness. In this paper we provide an algorithm based on the well known equivalence between Jordan frame and Einstein frame formulations which enables us to construct the EMT for NMCT in a unique way.

description: We explore new connections between the fields and local observables in two dimensional chiral conformal field theory. We show that in a broad class of examples, the von Neumann algebras of local observables (a conformal net) can be obtained from the fields (a unitary vertex operator algebra) via a continuous geometric interpolation procedure involving Graeme Segal's functorial definition of conformal field theory. In particular, we construct conformal nets from these unitary vertex operator algebras by showing that 'geometrically mollified' versions of the fields yield bounded, local operators on the Hilbert space completion of the vertex algebra. This work is inspired by Henriques' picture of conformal nets arising from degenerate Riemann surfaces.

Year: 2018

description: Finance nexus growth deep-rooted well in academic discourse. The relationship between both has been hotly debated since 1970 and no consensus is reached. The relationship between financial liberalization policies and economic growth is controversial. Effect of financial liberalization differs among countries. This paper attempts to examine the effect of financial liberalization on economic growth of four selected IGAD countries (Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda) selection of these four countries out of seven countries in the region is based on availability of the data. The study used quantitative research design. In order to achieve the objective of the study, panel data were used for the period of 2007-2016. Data were analyzed on quantitative basis using descriptive and regression analysis (Ordinary Least Square) method. Fixed effect model was employed in the regression. The obtained result from fixed regression reveled that exchange rate and degree of openness were statistically significant and have positive relationship with economic growth. On the contrary, variables like lending rate and financial deepening were statistically significant and have negative relationship with economic growth. Inflation has positive relationship with economic growth nevertheless it is statistically insignificant. From the result, trade openness would no doubt enhance economic growth and the government in the region has to intensify efforts that provide better financial system.

description: We address a cost optimization problem faced by a user who runs instances of applications in a remote cloud configuration constructed of multiple virtual machines (VMs). Each VM runs a single application instance which can execute tasks specific to that application. Managing the VMs involves a sophisticated trade-off between cloud-related demands, which are expressed by the provisional costs of leased cloud resources, and exogenous cost demands expressed by service revenues that are typically bound to SLAs. The internal costs may include VM deployment/termination cost, and VM lease cost. The exogenous costs refer to rewards accumulated due to the successfully accomplished tasks being run by each application instance. In the case where the SLA restricts performance to a certain load level at each VM, tasks incoming at VMs that reached that level are rejected. Rejections cause fines deducted against the rewards. The performance level is also quantified, namely, by means of a delay cost, according to the average delay experienced by tasks. Typical examples for specific applications which fall within this class of problems include handling of scientific worklflows and network functioning virtualization (NFV). We model this problem by cost-optimal load balancing to a queuing system with a flexible number of queues, where a queue (VM) can be deployed, can have a task directed to it and can be terminated. We analyze the system by Markov decision process (MDP) and numerically solve it to find the optimal policy, which captures the aforementioned costs and performance constraints. Within this constrained framework, we also investigate the impact of average VM deployment time. We show that the optimal policy possesses decision thresholds which depend on several parameters. We validate policies found by MDP, through directing an exogenous computational tasks flow to a set-up implemented on AWS.

description: We introduce a new link invariant called the algebraic genus, which gives an upper bound for the topological slice genus of links. In fact, the algebraic genus is an upper bound for another version of the slice genus proposed here: the minimal genus of a surface in the four-ball whose complement has infinite cyclic fundamental group. We characterize the algebraic genus in terms of cobordisms in three-space, and explore the connections to other knot invariants related to the Seifert form, the Blanchfield form, knot genera and unknotting. Employing Casson-Gordon invariants, we discuss the algebraic genus as a candidate for the optimal upper bound for the topological slice genus that is determined by the S-equivalence class of Seifert matrices.

Assessment on Awareness/Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of International Financial Reporting Standards in Private Banks of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Fekadu, Mersha
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The study aims to assess the employees' levels of awareness, knowledge, attitude, and practice of IFRS in private banks of Ethiopia. To achieve this, mixed method research design was employed. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected from 232 randomly selected samples of accountants and auditors of 16 private banks using structured questionnaire, and by conducting semi-structured interviews with five key informants through interview guide, respectively. The findings of the study also revealed that the employees lacked depth of awareness of detailed standards applicable to private banks based on the available data for reporting purpose; 127 (55%) of the sampled employees expressed that they were knowledgeable about different aspects of IFRS such as the provision of IFRS with greater transparency in the financial reporting of the Ethiopian private banks, its contribution to the improvement of regulatory oversight and enforcement, the important role(s) of accounting professional association(s) in the proper implementation of the adoption of IFRS, and the complex of its adoption as compared with local GAAP and US GAAP in the banks. In addition, the majority of the respondents showed positive attitude towards IFRS and most of their dimensions; 60.1% responded that all those stated required 'soft inputs' (like the preparation of IFRS conversion plan; gaps identified, analyzed the impact of accounting reporting and reconciliation processes, the IFRS implementation guidelines prepared, disclosure skeleton prepared, new changes made, and the alignment approach for maintaining process controls made in all of the banks) were made. However, there were multi-faceted challenges which had emanated from different sources and stakeholders. Finally, the study concludes that the employees in the private banks have awareness and knowledge, show certain degree of positive attitude, and limited scope of practical implementation of IFRS adoption. Generally, these may add to knowledge base on IFRS which, in turn, has practical implications for the required professions and future areas of research.

Framing the Korean 'comfort women' movement: domestic constraints and transnational alignments
Creators: name: Roman, Mohita
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: My thesis is an attempt to understand the local-transnational dynamic of the Korean Comfort Women movement. Rather than understanding it simply as a single transnational movement as is commonly referred to in current scholarship on the movement, I intend to contribute to the literature on the issue by suggesting that there are two parallel movements on the issue in Korea - the national and the transnational - which are discordant in nature. For the Korean activists, researchers and feminist leaders advocating for the Comfort Women issue, the emergence of the human rights principles as a core value in the post Cold War period was significant. The movement has aligned itself with the global movement for the elimination of violence against women during armed conflict paradigm which has provided much of the theoretical framework for the transnational campaigning for the Comfort Women issue. This thesis draws on frame theory and Transnational Advocacy Network (TAN) theory to study how movement actors are actively engaged in the process of framing the Comfort Women issue to maximize mobilization of target audiences and the socio-cultural and political contextual constraints and. opportunities that influence this process and outcomes. At the transnational level, the Korean Comfort Women movement has been successful in 'framing' the movement within a human rights frame and has been successful in forming a 'transnational advocacy network' on the issue. The TAN presents a cohesive movement united by common values and discourse that share resources and information. It is argued that the cohesion displayed at the transnational level has been difficult to achieve in the domestic arena. Due to complex differential dynamics within the local actors, the domestic Korean Comfort Women movement is not united by a common 'frame' leading to a fragmented movement. This thesis argues that harmony between. the local and the transnational by means of a uniform master frame will ultimately lead to effective mobilization and resonance at the local and international level and put pressure for social and policy change at the government level.

description: A symmetric random variable is called a Gaussian mixture if it has the same distribution as the product of two independent random variables, one being positive and the other a standard Gaussian random variable. Examples of Gaussian mixtures include random variables with densities proportional to $e^{-|t|^p}$ and symmetric $p$-stable random variables, where $p\in(0,2]$. We obtain various sharp moment and entropy comparison estimates for weighted sums of independent Gaussian mixtures and investigate extensions of the B-inequality and the Gaussian correlation inequality in the context of Gaussian mixtures. We also obtain a correlation inequality for symmetric geodesically convex sets in the unit sphere equipped with the normalized surface area measure. We then apply these results to derive sharp constants in Khintchine inequalities for vectors uniformly distributed on the unit balls with respect to $p$-norms and provide short proofs to new and old comparison estimates for geometric parameters of sections and projections of such balls.

Monetary Policy and Loan Portfolio of Ethiopian Commercial Banks: An Assessment of the Role of Credit Creation
Creators: name: Bereket, Nigussie
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2017

description: The study was carried out to empirically explore the monetary policy and macroeconomic determinants of Ethiopian commercial banks' performance proxied by total loans and advance using balanced 14 years (2003-2016) annual audited financial statements of 6 banks and macroeconomic data. It covers 100% of the population which are operated full years in the study period. The study used three monetary policy variables: Liquidity Requirement Ratio, Lending Interest Rate and Cash Reserve Requirement and two macroeconomic: Real gross domestic product growth rate and annual Inflation Rate. Fixed effect model was used for the total loans and advance. The empirical result revealed that all monetary policy and macroeconomic variables except cash reserve requirement ratio are statistically significant in determining performance of Ethiopian commercial banks. The study suggests the need for private commercial banks to consider the macro economic factors when developing their strategies to efficiently manage their loans and advances, as we found significant relationship between macro-economic factors and total loans and advances. The study also recommends the National Bank of Ethiopia moderate the minimum policy rate as instrument for regulating commercial banks operations and facilitating investment in the economy and the authority better re-evaluate the policies governing cash reserve requirement ratio in order to influence bank reserves considering its current insignificant effect on commercial banks credit creation role.

description: Learning over multi-view data is a challenging problem with strong practical applications. Most related studies focus on the classification point of view and assume that all the views are available at any time. We consider an extension of this framework in two directions. First, based on the BiGAN model, the Multi-view BiGAN (MV-BiGAN) is able to perform density estimation from multi-view inputs. Second, it can deal with missing views and is able to update its prediction when additional views are provided. We illustrate these properties on a set of experiments over different datasets.

Effects of firm-specific factors on Capital structure: the case of some Selected private insurance companies of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Sangeorge, Dessalgne
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of firm specific factors on leverage in private insurance companies of Ethiopia. Major concepts used in this study like leverage, tangibility, profitability, liquidity, firm size were operationally defined and some theories of capital structure like trade-off theory, pecking order theory and agency theory were reviewed. Quantitative research method mainly descriptive design was employed for this study. Secondary data were collected from nine private insurance companies of Ethiopia which were selected purposely as a sample and quantitative data were generated. Then to analyze the data, appropriate methods of data analysis were employed. The main findings of the study indicated that there was a statistically significant correlation between leverage and tangibility, leverage and profitability as well as leverage and size of the firm. In addition, using multiple linear regression analysis, this study also indicated that four firm specific factors (tangibility, profitability, liquidity and firm size) explained 24.5% of the variance in the dependent variable (Leverage). Based on the findings, important recommendations like private insurance companies of Ethiopia should choose their capital structure by balancing the advantages of borrowing were made for improving the effectiveness, success and decision of the best capital structure of insurance companies in Ethiopia.

description: Esta experiencia inicio en el año 2016 y fue llevada a cabo en la ciudad de Cartagena de indias – Colombia, teniendo como escenarios principales 8 establecimientos educativos de carácter público, donde los estudiantes del programa de licenciatura tuvieron que dividirse y escoger entre los diferentes establecimientos educativos para el desarrollo de guías pedagógicas que fueron planeadas y estandarizadas desde la dirección del programa y que a lo largo de cada semestre iban cambiando o ajustándose, teniendo en cuenta que nuestro proceso de formación docente así lo exigía. Para el caso de la presente sistematización de experiencias el escenario elegido fue un establecimiento educativo público que recibe el nombre de institución educativa republica de argentina. Esta institución fue elegida como escenario de prácticas debido a que contaba con todas las condiciones (organizativas, de gestión, de infraestructura...) óptimas para el desarrollo eficaz de nuestra formación como docentes. Es muy necesario enfatizar que este proceso de prácticas fue continuo, desde 1° semestre hasta 10° se trabajó con la misma institución, lo que coadyuvo a una planeación y desarrollo de guías pedagógicas articuladas no solamente desde las directrices del programa, sino que también fueron guías articuladas entre el espacio, tiempo y lugar en una misma institución educativa.

Toma de decisiones - Centro Cirugia Laser Ocular Ltda

description: Tesis(Contador Público).-Universidad de Cartagena. Facultad de Ciencias Económicas. Programa de Contaduría Publica,2012
description: El Centro de Cirugía laser ocular Ltda., es un clínica privada cuyo objeto social es la prestación de servicios médicos-quirúrgicos de oftalmología y optometría, es una sociedad de tipo limitada y está conformada por 6 socios quienes a su vez son los oftalmólogos que prestan los servicios dentro de la institución. En la clínica Centro de Cirugía Laser Ocular Ltda., existe la problemática de que uno de los socios se ha convertido en competencia directa de la empresa, presta sus servicios a entidades no contratadas por la institución, además vende el portafolios de servicios de la entidad con su nombre a las empresas que hacen parte de la red de atención de la clínica, todo esto se da dentro de la infraestructura de la clínica, utilizando todos sus recursos para su propio lucro. Dicho socio es el único que cuenta con una especialización en retinología lo cual se constituye en un alto grado de importancia para el portafolio de servicios que vende la empresa y de dependencia de esta respecto a él. Considerando lo anterior, el presente trabajo investigativo pretende evaluar la viabilidad de un cambio de socio que permita el mejoramiento de las condiciones financieras de la entidad y que mejore los procesos de dirección y organización al momento de generar planeaciones consistentes. Este cambio de socio se basará en la utilización de un modelo de toma de decisiones basado en el método AHP (Análisis de Jerarquización de Procesos), lo cual permitirá a su vez instaurar políticas de selección mucho más rigurosas y que minimicen las afectaciones que en materia de direccionamientos hoy afectan a la empresa

description: Metal-insulator transition underlies many remarkable and technologically important phenomena in VO2. Even though its monoclinic structure had before been the reserve of the insulating state, recent experiments have observed an unexpected monoclinic metallic state. Here we use a modified approach combining first-principles calculations with orbital-biased potentials to reproduce the correct stability ordering and electronic structure of different phases of VO2. We identify a ferromagnetic monoclinic metal that is likely to be the experimentally observed mysterious metastable state. Furthermore, our calculations show that an isostructural insulator-metal electronic transition is followed by the lattice distortion from the monoclinic structure to the rutile structure. These results not only explain the experimental observations of the monoclinic metallic state and the decoupled structural and electronic transitions of VO2, but also provide a understanding for the metal-insulator transition in other strongly correlated d electron systems.

Macroeconomic factors affecting loan collection Performances of the development bank of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Ebba, Regassa
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: Macroeconomic variables like real Gross Domestic Product (GDP), domestic saving, foreign currency supply and capital formation are major indicators that show the level of economic performance of a country. This study investigates effects of such macroeconomic variables on loan collection performances of the Development Bank of Ethiopia to show to what extent these variables contribute towards loan collection endeavor of the Bank. The research methodology used for the study is a quantitative research approach by using primarily VAR model. The raw data on loan collection and macroeconomic variables used for the study were collected from DBE and the NBE including observations of 42 years on annual bases ranging from 1975 to 2017. Results of the study were obtained by making unit root test, co-integration test, estimations of VECM, etc. Accordingly, the study indicates that while GDP and foreign currency supply have positive and significant effects on loan collection, domestic saving has positive but insignificant to influence loan collection performances of the Bank in the long run. Capital formation, on the other hand, has negative but insignificant influence on the dependent variable. Growths in macroeconomic variables like those included in this study and their smooth operations are important indicators for the healthy economic movements. Thus, growth in GDP would have been reflected on the loan collection performances of DBE due to the fact that the growth of the economy and smooth operations of the macroeconomic variables stimulate all microeconomic factors to operate in similar direction with the macroeconomic variables. Accordingly, findings of the study indicate that the growth in real GDP, for instance, does not confirm this general truth due to the fact that, despite successive growth in the economy of Ethiopia, reports show that NPLs ratio of DBE is growing and surpassing the appetite set by supervisory organ of the Government. Hence, in line with the previous studies, DBE should give prior attention and work towards to its own internal and customer specific factors, in addition to macroeconomic variables so as to address the problems that the bank faces related to loan collection performances of projects financed by the Bank.

description: We apply quantitative (or controlled) $K$-theory to prove that a certain $L^p$ assembly map is an isomorphism for $p\in[1,\infty)$ when an action of a countable discrete group $Γ$ on a compact Hausdorff space $X$ has finite dynamical complexity. When $p=2$, this is a model for the Baum-Connes assembly map for $Γ$ with coefficients in $C(X)$, and was shown to be an isomorphism by Guentner, Willett, and Yu.
description: 32 pages. Added a new section at the end with a brief discussion of the domain of the assembly map and *-algebraic versions of the algebras considered. Also made corrections and improvements to exposition based on the referee's comments
