title: Money and Price Posting under Private Information
Creators: name: Dong, Mei

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2011

description: We study price posting with undirected search in a search-theoretic monetary model with divisible money and divisible goods. Ex ante homogeneous buyers experience match specific preference shocks in bilateral trades. The shocks follow a continuous distribution and the realization of the shocks is private information. We show that generically there exists a unique price posting monetary equilibrium. In equilibrium, each seller posts a continuous pricing schedule that exhibits quantity discounts. Buyers spend only when they have high enough preferences. As their preferences are higher, they spend more till they become cash constrained. Since inflation reduces the future purchasing power of money and the value of retaining money, buyers tend to spend their money faster in response to higher inflation. In particular, more buyers choose to spend money and buyers spend on average a higher fraction of their money. The model naturally captures the hot potato effect of inflation along both the intensive margin and the extensive margin.
description: Les auteures étudient le comportement d’acheteurs qui ne peuvent observer les prix affichés qu’après leur appariement à un vendeur, dans le cadre d’un modèle théorique de prospection monétaire caractérisé par la divisibilité de la monnaie et des biens. Les préférences des acheteurs, considérés a priori comme homogènes, font l’objet de chocs durant les rencontres bilatérales avec le vendeur. Ces chocs suivent une loi de distribution continue et leur réalisation constitue une information connue des seuls acheteurs. Les auteures montrent qu’il existe de façon générale un équilibre monétaire unique pour les prix affichés. À l’équilibre, chaque vendeur affiche une série continue de prix assortis de rabais sur les quantités. Les acheteurs ne dépensent que si leurs préférences sont suffisamment fortes, et plus leurs préférences s’élèvent, plus ils consomment, jusqu’à épuisement de leurs fonds. Puisque l’inflation diminue le pouvoir d’achat futur ainsi que l’intérêt qu’il y a à conserver de l’argent, les acheteurs sont portés à dépenser plus rapidement lorsque l’inflation augmente. En particulier, un plus grand nombre d’acheteurs décident de dépenser et ils dépensent en moyenne une part accrue de la monnaie en leur possession. Le modèle parvient à recréer l’effet de délestage causé par la hausse de l’inflation, tant dans sa dimension intensive que dans sa dimension extensive.

description: Slender glass panels are widely used as storefronts and indoor separating walls in shopping malls and public buildings. To ensure that the design and construction is technically safe for general use and that it meets current and accepted technical standards, in-situ testing is required by the building administrator or authorities. A case study was performed of an indoor glass lantern in a public building made from slender two-side supported glass panels with a complex geometry. It provides structural assessments and results of in-situ experiments including static loading and soft body impact test. Results from numerical simulations of impact loading on the glass panels complementing the experimental results are also presented. The in-situ testing proved that the structural design meets current standards regarding the static loading. The soft body impact test proved the safety of the intact panel and the panel with one ply deliberately broken. The numerical study showed that, for a more complicated geometry, the stress distribution can dramatically change over time and that stress concentrations can develop at certain locations at a late stage in the impact history.

description: Among the perovskite oxide family, KTaO$_3$ (KTO) has recently attracted considerable interest as a possible system for the realization of the Rashba effect. In this work, we improvise a novel conducting interface by juxtaposing KTO with another insulator, namely LaVO$_3$ (LVO) and report planar Hall effect (PHE) and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) measurements. This interface exhibits a signature of strong spin-orbit coupling. Our experimental observation of two fold AMR at low magnetic fields can be intuitively understood using a phenomenological theory for a Rashba spin-split system. At high fields ($\sim$8 T), we see a two fold to four fold transition in the AMR that could not be explained using only Rashba spin-split energy spectra. We speculate that it might be generated through an intricate process arising from the interplay between strong spin-orbit coupling, broken inversion symmetery, relativistic conduction electron and possible uncompensated localized vanadium spins.

description: We demonstrate a modulation of up to 18% in the magnon spin transport in a magnetic insulator (Y$_{3}$Fe$_{5}$O$_{12}$, YIG) using a common ferromagnetic metal (permalloy, Py) as a magnetic control gate. A Py electrode, placed between two Pt injector and detector electrodes, acts as a magnetic gate in our prototypical magnon transistor device. By manipulating the magnetization direction of Py with respect to that of YIG, the transmission of magnons through the Py|YIG interface can be controlled, resulting in a modulation of the non-equilibrium magnon density in the YIG channel between the Pt injector and detector electrodes. This study opens up the possibility of using the magnetic gating effect for magnon-based spin logic applications.

description: We study the coupled rotation-vibration levels of a hydrogen molecule in a confining potential with cylindrical symmetry. We include the coupling between rotations and translations and show how this interaction is essential to obtain the correct degeneracies of the energy level scheme. We applied our formalism to study the dynamics of H$_{2}$ molecules inside a "smooth" carbon nanotube as a function of tube radius. The results are obtained both by numerical solution of the ($2J+1$)-component radial Schrodinger equation and by developing an effective Hamiltonian to describe the splitting of a manifold of states of fixed angular momentum $J$ and number of phonons, $N$. For nanotube radius smaller than $\approx 3.5$ Å, the confining potential has a parabolic shape and the results can be understood in terms of a simple toy model. For larger radius, the potential has the "Mexican hat" shape and therefore the H$_{2}$ molecule is off-centered, yielding radial and tangential translational dynamics in addition to rotational dynamics of H$_{2}$ molecule which we also describe by a simple model. Finally, we make several predictions for the the neutron scattering observation of various transitions between these levels.

The effect of scattering on the structure and SED of protoplanetary disks

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: In this paper we investigate how the inclusion of scattering of the stellar radiation into a passive flaring disk model affects its structure and spectral energy distribution, and whether neglecting it could significantly decrease the model reliability. In order to address these questions we construct a detailed 1+1D vertical structure model in which the scattering properties of the dust can be varied. Models are presented with and without dust scattering, and for different albedos and phase functions. It is found that scattering has the effect of reducing the disk temperature at all heights, so that the disk "shrinks", i.e., the the density at all intermediate heights decreases. However, this effect in most cases is more than compensated by the increase of the total extinction (absorption + scattering) cross section, so that the surface scale height increases, and images in scattered light will see a slightly thicker disk. The integrated infrared emission decreases as the albedo increases, because an increasing part of the flux captured by the disk is reflected away instead of absorbed and reprocessed. The reduction of the infrared thermal emission of the disk is stronger at short wavelengths (near infrared) and practically negligible at millimeter wavelengths. For relatively low albedo (alb 0.8), the infrared flux reduction is relatively small.

description: This empirical study investigates the effects of different agri-environmental schemes on individual producer behaviour. We consider the effects on production intensity, performance and structure for a sample of UK cereal farms for the period 2000 to 2009 and use the policy examples of the Environmental Stewardship Scheme (ESS) and the Nitrate Vulnerable Zones (NVZ). The econometric methodology is based on a directional distance function framework as well as the application of matching estimators. We find that both schemes are effectively influencing production behaviour at individual farm level. However, agri-environmental schemes show only very minor effects on the technical and allocative efficiency of farms, hence, we can conclude that farms enrolled in agri-environmental schemes are efficiently adjusting their production decisions given the constraints by the respective scheme. Farms affected by these schemes indeed tend to become less specialised and more diversified with respect to their production structure. A voluntary type agri-environmental scheme seems to signficantly influence producer behaviour at a far higher scale than a non-voluntary agri-environmental scheme. The methodological novelty of this research lies in the use of a sound production theory based multi-output multi-input approach to disentangle measures for production performance and structure which are then used as indicators for the robust treatment effects’ analyses.

description: This work presents the final phase of the ψ-theory of difference: an ontological genesis from ψ₁₇₃ to ψ₂₀₀. It describes the emergence of the world not as a static being, but as a living, unfolding structure of difference. From the initial gravitational condensation of difference (ψ₁₇₃), through the formation of time, memory, death, and return, to the closing ψ₂₀₀ as a self-sustaining organism of differences, this cycle reveals a full ontological architecture. The ψ-structure introduced here is not a theory — it is a foundation: a rigorous, logically consistent model that integrates temporality, consciousness, death, myth, and world-structure through the mathematics of difference. This publication marks a foundational contribution to science, philosophy, and the new cosmological logic of creation.

description: In Pr$_{0.7}$Ca$_{0.3}$MnO$_{3}$, pressure induces reentrant magnetic and electronic state changes in the range 1 atm to $\sim$ 6 GPa. The metal-insulator and magnetic transition temperatures coincide from $\sim$1 to 5 GPa, decouple outside of this range and do not change monotonically with pressure. The effects may be explained by pressure tuned competition between double exchange and super exchange. The insulating state induced by pressure above $\sim$5 GPa is possibly ferromagnetic, different from the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic phase-separated insulating state below $\sim$0.8 GPa.

description: This research was carried out to find out the effect of exchange rate variability on export of oilseeds. It has employed annual time series data (1992-2010) collected from the country’s different institutions, namely: National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), Central Statistical Agency of Ethiopia (CSA), and Ethiopian Custom Authority (ECA). Tools of descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and understand the dynamics of the variables included in the analysis. Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ARDL) with Wald test was used to test the hypothesis that ‘there is no short run and long run relationship between export oilseeds and explanatory variables included in the model’. The result revealed that export oilseeds have negative relationship with exchange rate variability. Terms of Trade (TOT) was found to be negative and significant. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is found to be insignificant; implying contribution of oilseeds to the export basket of the country is decreasing. Moreover, the underlined hypothesis was rejected confirming that there is a long run relationship between export and oilseeds and explanatory variables included. Export diversification and value addition are of possible solutions the country should focus on to improve the ever decreasing terms of trade and extract the gain from policy changes.

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings

description: Laminated glass provides safety in an impact or explosion event by way of a polymer interlayer to which glass fragments adhere upon fracture. The mechanical deformation of the interlayer defines how the impact energy can be absorbed to prevent calamities by flying glass debris, penetration of a blast wave, lacerations, etc. The PVB interlayer used in safety glass shows highly nonlinear viscoelastic material behaviour, with a great sensitivity to temperature and deformation rate. Although various material models for PVB can be found in literature, few publications discuss the full range of its mechanical behaviour and none are found to describe a material model that is valid in a wide range of deformation rates and up to high elongations. Such material model is necessary for the numerical study of the post-fracture response in a dynamic event. The article describes the mechanical behaviour of PVB interlayer and the constitutive models by which the polymer can be represented under different load cases. Tensile experiments of Saflex® PVB are presented for a wide range of deformation rates and up to tearing of the specimens. Subsequently, a method to calibrate a hyper-viscoelastic material model for the interlayer by numerically simulating the tensile tests is developed. The resulting material models are valid up to the tearing strain of the interlayer and are accurate within a specified range of deformation rates and temperatures.

description: The object 4C 71.07 is a high-redshift blazar whose spectral energy distribution shows a prominent big blue bump and a strong Compton dominance. We present the results of a two-year multiwavelength campaign led by the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) to study both the quasar core and the beamed jet of this source. The WEBT data are complemented by ultraviolet and X-ray data from Swift, and by gamma-ray data by Fermi. The big blue bump is modelled by using optical and near-infrared mean spectra obtained during the campaign, together with optical and ultraviolet quasar templates. We give prescriptions to correct the source photometry in the various bands for the thermal contribution, in order to derive the non-thermal jet flux. The role of the intergalactic medium absorption is analysed in both the ultraviolet and X-ray bands. We provide opacity values to deabsorb ultraviolet data, and derive a best-guess value for the hydrogen column density through the analysis of X-ray spectra. We estimate the disc and jet bolometric luminosities, accretion rate, and black hole mass. Light curves do not show persistent correlations among flux changes at different frequencies. We study the polarimetric behaviour and find no correlation between polarisation degree and flux, even when correcting for the dilution effect of the big blue bump. Similarly, wide rotations of the electric vector polarisation angle do not seem to be connected with the source activity.

description: This paper uses discrete-choice models to quantify the role of consumer socioeconomic characteristics, payment instrument attributes, and transaction features on the probability of using cash, debit card, or credit card at the point-of-sale. We use the Bank of Canada 2009 Method of Payment Survey, a two-part survey among adult Canadians containing a detailed questionnaire and a three-day shopping diary. We find that cash is still used intensively at low value transactions due to speed, merchant acceptance, and low costs. Debit and credit cards are used more frequently for higher transaction values where safety, record keeping, the ability to delay payment and credit card rewards gain prominence. We present estimates of the elasticity of using a credit card with respect to credit card rewards. Reward elasticities are a key element in understanding the impact of retail payment pricing regulation on consumer payment instrument usage and welfare.
description: Les auteurs font appel à des modèles de choix discrets pour quantifier le rôle des traits socioéconomiques des consommateurs, des attributs des instruments de paiement et des caractéristiques des opérations dans la probabilité d’usage de l’argent comptant, des cartes de débit et des cartes de crédit au point de vente. À cette fin, ils se servent des données de l’enquête sur les modes de paiement menée par la Banque en 2009 auprès des Canadiens d’âge adulte – sondage à deux volets comprenant un questionnaire détaillé et un journal d’achats tenu pendant trois jours. Ils constatent que l’argent comptant est encore beaucoup utilisé pour les petits achats parce que ce mode de paiement est rapide et peu onéreux et qu’il est bien accepté par les marchands. Les cartes de débit et de crédit sont plus souvent choisies pour les transactions de plus grande valeur où la sécurité, l’enregistrement de l’opération et la possibilité, dans le cas des cartes de crédit, de différer le paiement et d’obtenir des récompenses ont plus d’importance. Les auteurs donnent des estimations de l’élasticité de l’utilisation de la carte de crédit par rapport aux récompenses offertes. Les élasticités-récompenses constituent un élément clé pour examiner les effets de la réglementation relative à la tarification des paiements de détail sur l’usage des différents instruments de paiement par les consommateurs et sur le bienêtre de ces derniers.

description: In the long run laminated glass interlayers are sensitive to weather conditions. Several studies have been carried out that aim at understanding the consequences of moisture and solar radiation on adhesion to glass and on the mechanical response of the composite pane. In particular, solar radiation seems to produce the strongest effects on the bulk properties of PVB, modifying the coupling capability of laminated glass plates exposed to the direct sunlight. Such problem has been already studied by the authors via dynamic tests on small laminated glass specimens subjected to artificial UV light; however, due to the methodology of these mechanical tests, it was not possible to repeat the experiment on the same specimens subjected to different exposition times, and it was not possible to investigate the laws of accumulation of the consequences of weathering actions. In fact, solar radiation could produce different effects on the structure of material, but only superimposed consequences can be observed. In order to better understand the time progression of the phenomenon, creep tests were performed on laminated glass beams subjected to four-point bending; the specimens were tested in correspondence of definite time intervals of UV exposure. The total amount of time will be defined according to the observed variation of test results with respect to the total exposure. The effects of UV radiation are highlighted directly comparing the displacement history diagram and successively evaluated analyzing the mechanical parameters that describe the rheological behavior.

 Heterocerus tenuis Miller 1988b: 30.
 Description. Length 3.0 - 3.5 mm. General appearance (Fig. 22) and male genitalia (Fig. 49) very similar to those of H. schwarzi; however, dorsal spine-like projections on either side of the anterior edge of the median plate point outward in the ventral view of the male genitalia.
 Diagnosis. Heterocerus tenuis is nearly identical to H. schwarzi and can be separated from this species only through differences in the male genitalia. The dorsal spine-like projections on either side of the anterior edge of the median plate in H. tenuis project laterally in the ventral view (Fig. 49), a character not present in any other member of the undatus group. These two species are not known to be sympatric, but it should be noted that their known ranges are patchy.
 Notes. Because H. tenuis and H. schwarzi are nearly identical, the possibility that the two species were synonymous was considered. A comparison of six paratypes of H. schwarzi and 23 paratypes of H. tenuis was made and none exhibited genital characters that could be considered intermediate. The two species appear to be valid.
 Distribution. This species is known from Florida, southern Georgia and Rondeau Park, Ontario (Fig. 69). Rondeau Provincial Park is located on a peninsula on the north shore of Lake Erie. The wide gap in the range, and ecology, between the two regions populated by this species, along with Rondeau Parks proximity to some of the major shipping hubs of the St. Lawrence Seaway system, suggests that interstate commerce could have established H. tenuis in this isolated northern locale.

 The new Austrian digital Interactive Raw Materials Information System IRIS Online allows to display geological, tectonical, geochemical, aerogeophysical maps, maps of metamorphic events, mineral deposits / occurrences a.s.o. simultaneously. The database comprises more than 5700 entries of Austrian mineral deposits / occurrences and more than 17.000 references. Special queries (groups of minerals, deposits, geochemical anomalies a.s.o.) are possible. The mineral deposits/occurrences are subdivided into appr. 200 metallogenetic districts (mineral deposits / occurrences within a clearly defined tectonic unit, a specific stratigraphic or facies unit, characterised by both similar shape and mineral content of the individual deposits / occurrences). One of the main targets of the staff of the Geological Survey was to design the IRIS database and a user friendly operability using ESRI ArcGIS Online application. Furthermore, the Geological Survey implemented the definitions of the metallogenetic districts and mineral commodities into their thesaurus.

description: An extensive parametric numerical study was performed after completed experimental campaign of timber-glass hybrid walls (TGW and TGWE). 36 timber-glass models (TG) with different outer dimensions were built and analysed using the commercial code SAP2000. Timber frame was modelled using linear beam elements with hinges in all four corners, an IGU was modelled as composite shell and finally a layer of adhesive was modelled with linear and nonlinear springs, which were distributed circumferentially around the edge of IGU and connected onto a timber frame. Normal and shear stiffness coefficients for linear-elastic springs were calculated, while for nonlinear springs a special series of mechanical tests on polyurethane (PU) adhesive was performed since a lack of data available in addition to the desired amount of information needed for the numerical analysis. Uniaxial tension, compression and shear tests were made to obtain the results in form of the load-displacement curve, which presented a direct input for nonlinear normal and shear springs of the mathematical model. For each compression and tension mechanical test three specimens were prepared and tested up to rupture, while a double-lap shear test was conducted using two specimens giving two results each. PU adhesive specimens of the first series had dimensions of 50 mm x 50 mm and thickness of 5,0 mm. Mechanical tests were repeated for two additional thicknesses of PU adhesive, namely 7,0 mm and 9,0 mm. After completed experimental investigation on PU adhesive joint, together 108 numerical models were analysed in SAP2000 with a goal to capture the basic response of mechanically tested timber-glass walls and to determine the stiffness of TGW with different external dimensions. Having the correct information about the stiffness of the single TG shear wall one can calculate the stiffness of the entire timberglass building built with such walls.

Food Security and Poverty

description: The problem of urban food insecurity in Ethiopia has received little attention despite its increasing importance and far reaching ramifications. High rates of unemployment resulted from sluggish economic growth and low level of investment in urban centers combined with high population growth has negatively affected income earning potentials of the residents. Urban population will continue to grow with its associated problems unless meaningful development interventions backed by research findings are undertaken. Since research findings on factors affecting food insecurity in urban areas are scarce, this research, in particular, fills this research gap. The present study attempts to examine the food insecurity situation, estimate food insecurity gap and severity and identify the determinants of food insecurity in Addis Ababa city at household level. The primary data source for this work was the Addis Ababa urban household socio-economic data collected by undertaking a survey on 140 households. Three stage cluster random sampling technique with proportional to size was used to select respondents from the study area. Data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics such us mean, standard error, frequency, and percentage. Econometric analysis was used to identify the determinants of food insecurity, and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke model indices were employed to estimate the food insecurity gap and the severity of food insecurity. The descriptive statistics revealed a significant mean difference (p<0.05) between the food secure and food insecure households in terms of household size, age of household vii head, ownership of bank account, household income, kilocalorie available per individual, remittance and gift received and daily food expenditure per adult equivalent but education level of household head was also statistically significant (p<0.01). A Tobit econometric model has identified six out of eleven variables included in the model as significant (p<0.05). Household size, household income, household head age , household head education, ownership of bank account and income from remittance and gift were found to be significant determinants of food insecurity in the study area. The head count ratio computed by FGT model revealed that 47 percent of sample households were food insecured. The food insecurity gap and severity were 16.83 and 6.9 percent, respectively.

description: Glazing facades generally represent one of the most critical building components, from a structural point of view, since providing a physical separation and barrier for the building occupants. In this regard, especially under the action of extreme loads, they require specific design concepts voted to protect the building occupants. In this paper, the feasibility and potential of special mechanical connectors interposed at the interface between a given multi-storey primary building structure and the glazing facade are investigated via accurate finite-element models, under the action seismic and explosive loads. Given the case study of a 4-storey steel framed structure enclosed by a glazing curtain wall, both the global and local effects and potential benefits due to additional vibration control systems (VCSs) are preliminary assessed via numerical simulations, giving evidence of the activation—once properly designed—of a distributed-tuned-mass damper (TMD) concept involving the glass facade as a structural component of the 3D building. Differing from traditional TMD applications in civil engineering systems—namely consisting of lumped mass, damping and stiffness terms—these beneficial contributions are derived from the enclosing glass panels. Taking advantage of earlier research studies, in particular, where major efforts have been spent for the potential of visco-elastic VCSs, careful consideration is paid in this paper for the feasibility of elasto-plastic (PL) connectors, giving evidence of their response and effects under both seismic events and explosions. As shown from FE results partly discussed in the paper, the full 3D assembly can take benefit from the proposed design concept, hence suggesting the further development of the explored passive mitigation tool for the protection of the primary building structure.

description: In this paper, we explore the link between stress in the domestic financial sector and the capital flight faced by countries in the 2008-9 global crisis. Both the timing of emergence of internal financial stress in developing economies, and the size of the peak-trough declines in the stock price indices was comparable to that in high income countries, indicating that there was no decoupling, even before Lehman Brothers’ demise. Deleveraging of OECD positions seemed to dominate the patterns of capital flows during the crisis. While high income countries on average saw net capital inflows and net portfolio inflows during the crisis quarters, compared to net outflows for developing economies, the indicators of banking sector stress were higher for high income economies on average than for developing economies. Internal and external distress during crisis was closely interlinked with common underlying causes of both the severity of stress during the crisis and the recovery. External vulnerabilities were important in both phases, and higher international reserves did not insulate countries from stress.
description: Les auteurs étudient la relation entre les tensions observées dans le secteur financier national et les fuites de capitaux survenues pendant la crise mondiale de 2008-2009. Tant le moment où les tensions financières internes sont apparues dans les pays en développement que l’ampleur du repli des indices boursiers du sommet au creux du cycle se comparent à ce qui s’est produit dans les pays à haut revenu, de sorte qu’il n’y a pas eu de découplage, même avant l’effondrement de Lehman Brothers. La réduction des leviers financiers par les entreprises des pays de l’OCDE semble avoir été le trait dominant du comportement des flux de capitaux durant la crise. Le plus souvent, les pays à haut revenu ont connu des entrées nettes de capitaux et d’investissements de portefeuille au cours des deux trimestres de la crise, tandis que les pays en développement enregistraient des sorties nettes. Par contre, les indicateurs de tension dans le secteur bancaire ont été plus élevés en moyenne dans le premier groupe de pays que dans le second. Les tensions internes et externes pendant la crise avaient un rapport étroit avec les facteurs sousjacents communs qui expliquent la gravité des tensions à la fois lors de la crise et durant la reprise. Les vulnérabilités externes ont été importantes dans les deux phases, et de hauts niveaux des réserves de change n’ont pas fourni de protection contre les tensions financières.

Hole U1473 (32° 42.3622’ S; 057° 16.6880’ E), located on the summit of Atlantis Bank at the ultra-slow spreading Southwest Indian Ridge was drilled to 789.7 m below seafloor (mbsf) during IODP Expedition 360. It consists of massive gabbros cut by nearly 400 felsic veins, which are evolved, SiO2 -enriched lithologies comprising ~1.5 vol% of the drill core. They vary in composition from diorite to trondhjemite (Dick et al., 2015). For their formation 3 endmember models are discussed: (1) fractional crystallization as consequence of oxide saturation at a late stage of tholeiitic magma evolution; (2) anatexis of mafic rocks in the deep oceanic crust, triggered by hydrothermal fluids; (3) liquid immiscibility in an evolved MORB system. This project aims to clarify their formation, their metamorphic evolution and their role to act as pathways for transporting fluids into the deep crust.

description: Soil erosion is one of the most serious environmental problems in the highlands of Ethiopia. The prevalence of traditional agricultural land use and the absence of appropriate resource management often result in the degradation of natural soil fertility in the country. Hence, this study assesses farm households‟ WTP for soil conservation practices through a CVM study. Double Bounded Dichotomous choice with an Open ended follow up format was used to elicit the households‟ willingness to pay. Based on data collected from 218 respondents, descriptive statistics indicated that most of the respondents have perceived the problem of soil erosion and are willing to pay for conservation practices. Probit model was employed to assess the determinants of willingness to pay. Results of the model shows that age of the household head, sex of the household head, education level of the household head, family size, perception, land tenure, Total Livestock Units and initial bid were the important variables in determining willingness to pay for soil conservation practices in the study area. The study also show that the mean willingness to pay estimated from the Double Bounded Dichotomous Choice and open ended formats was computed at 56.65 and 48.94 person days per annum, respectively. The respective total aggregate value of soil conservation in the study area (Adwa Woreda) was computed to be 1,373,592 (16,483,104 Birr) and 1,186,648.18 (14,239,778.16 Birr) per annum for five years, respectively. The results of the study have shown that socio economic characteristics of the household and other institutional factors are responsible for household‟s WTP for soil conservation practices. Therefore, policy and program intervention designed to address soil erosion problems in the study area have needed to take in to account these characteristics.

description: This research investigates the potential of glass as a new design tool to highlight and safeguard our historic structures. Current restoration and conservation treatments with traditional materials bear the risk of conjecture between the original and new elements, whereas the high consolidation demands often result in visually invasive and irreversible solutions. Nowadays, aspects of materiality and aesthetics appear as integral parts of the restoration practices, indicating new materials and technologies in the form of ambiguous gestures rather than absolute and permanent manifestations that prevail over the historic structures. The inherent transparent properties render glass a distinct material that enables the simultaneous perception of the monument in both its original and ruinous state. The emerging technologies have set the ground for using glass in a structural way minimizing the need for substructure and maximizing transparency, while protecting the sensitive historic materials. The paper explores the feasibility of this concept addressing aspects of compatibility, reversibility and transparency, through a review of realized examples. Finally, a developed methodology relates the, available in the market today, glass products to the possible consolidation treatments in respect to the degree of intervention and representativeness, stressing the potential of using and considering glass as a promising restorative material.
