title: External Stability, Real Exchange Rate Adjustment and the Exchange Rate Regime in Emerging-Market Economies

description: In emerging-market economies, real exchange rate adjustment is critical for maintaining a sustainable current account position and thereby for helping to reduce macroeconomic and financial instability. The authors examine empirically two related hypotheses: (i) that real exchange rate flexibility and adjustment promotes external stability, and (ii) that a flexible nominal exchange rate facilitates real exchange rate adjustment. Based on an event-study analysis for a large set of emerging-market economies over the period 1975–2008, the authors find that real exchange rate adjustment has contributed significantly to reducing current account imbalances. The adjustment of current account deficits in countries with a fixed exchange rate regime does not typically occur through the classical adjustment mechanism, but as a consequence of exchange rate crises, where the nominal exchange rate collapses and there are substantial costs in terms of forgone output. Vector-error-correction results support the findings of the event study; namely, in the long run the real exchange rate movements facilitate current account adjustment.
description: Dans les économies de marché émergentes, le taux de change réel doit pouvoir s’ajuster pour que le solde de la balance courante se maintienne à un niveau viable et pour aider à réduire l’instabilité macroéconomique et financière. Les auteurs examinent empiriquement deux hypothèses voisines : la première veut que la flexibilité et l’ajustement du taux de change réel favorisent la stabilité externe, et la seconde, qu’un taux de change nominal flexible facilite un tel ajustement. Sur la base d’une étude événementielle portant sur un vaste groupe d’économies émergentes et couvrant la période 1975-2008, les auteurs concluent que l’ajustement du taux de change réel a contribué de façon importante à atténuer les déséquilibres des balances courantes. Les déficits courants des pays dotés d’un régime de changes fixes ne se corrigent généralement pas par le jeu d’un ajustement classique, mais sous la pression d’une crise de change qui entraîne l’écroulement de ce régime et s’accompagne de pertes de production substantielles. Les résultats obtenus à partir d’un modèle vectoriel à correction d’erreurs corroborent les conclusions de l’étude événementielle, à savoir qu’à long terme, les mouvements du taux de change réel aident la balance courante à s’ajuster.

description: Background Long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) has been previously linked with higher risk of cardiovascular events. This association may be mediated, at least partly, by increasing the risk of incident hypertension, a key determinant of cardiovascular risk. However, whether long-term exposure to PM is associated with incident hypertension remains unclear. Methods Using national geostatistical models incorporating geographic covariates and spatial smoothing, we estimated annual average concentrations of residential fine (PM2.5), respirable (PM10), and course (PM10–2.5) fractions of particulate matter among 44,255 post-menopausal women free of hypertension enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) clinical trials. We used time-varying Cox proportional hazards models to evaluate the association between long-term average residential pollutant concentrations and incident hypertension, adjusting for potential confounding by sociodemographic factors, medical history, neighborhood socioeconomic measures, WHI study clinical site, clinical trial, and randomization arm. Results During 298,383 person-years of follow-up, 14,511 participants developed incident hypertension. The adjusted hazard ratios per interquartile range (IQR) increase in PM2.5, PM10, and PM10–2.5 were 1.13 (95% CI: 1.08, 1.17), 1.06 (1.03, 1.10), and 1.01 (95% CI: 0.97, 1.04), respectively. Statistically significant concentration-response relationships were identified for PM2.5 and PM10 fractions. The association between PM2.5 and hypertension was more pronounced among non-white participants and those residing in the Northeastern United States. Conclusions In this cohort of post-menopausal women, ambient fine and respirable particulate matter exposures were associated with higher incidence rates of hypertension. These results suggest that particulate matter may be an important modifiable risk factor for hypertension.

description: Background A systematic literature review was conducted to determine whether US blacks and whites have differential blood pressure (BP) response to calcium channel blocker (CCB) monotherapy.MethodsSix published studies made up the final cohort of eligible articles. Multiple treatment groups within some studies led to a total of eight sets of estimates for BP reduction with a total of 6,851 white or nonblack participants and 3,371 black participants.ResultsThe pooled difference in systolic blood pressure (SBP) change between blacks and whites was 2.7 mm Hg (95% confidence interval (CI): 4.0, 1.3) with blacks having greater response. The difference in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) between blacks and whites was 0.4 mm Hg (95% CI: 1.0, 0.3) with blacks having greater response. Using a dichotomous outcome measure, whites were found to be just as likely as blacks to attain the DBP goal of 90 mm Hg or a 10 mm Hg or greater change (relative risk: 1.00 95% CI: 0.91, 1.11). In addition, examination of the continuous distribution of BP responses of whites and blacks showed over 90% overlap in treatment response.ConclusionAssessment of differential response to CCB monotherapy by race in published data depends on choice of outcome metric. Nonetheless, the results of this systematic review indicate that BP response is qualitatively similar in US blacks and whites, suggesting that patient race is not likely to offer any clinical utility for decisions about the likely effect of this antihypertensive therapy.
title: The Role of Financial Speculation in Driving the Price of Crude Oil

description: Over the past 10 years, financial firms have increased the size of their positions in the oil futures market. At the same time, oil prices have increased dramatically. The conjunction of these developments has led some observers to argue that financial speculation caused the run-up in oil prices. Yet several arguments cast doubt on the validity of this claim. First, although the stock of open futures contracts is many times larger than the flow of oil consumption in the United States, comparing these two statistics is misleading. Stocks are not measured with respect to a specific unit of time but flows are, so the two are not directly comparable. Second, empirical analysis shows that changes in financial firms’ positions do not predict oil-price changes, but that oil-price changes predict changes in positions. Third, the evidence indicates that financial firms’ positions did not cause the market to expect persistent price increases during 2007/08. Other explanations for the increase in oil prices include macroeconomic fundamentals, such as interest rates and increased demand from emerging Asia. Of these two explanations, the one that seems most consistent with the facts explains oil-price fluctuations in terms of large and persistent demand shocks related to growth in global real activity in the presence of supply constraints.
description: Au cours des dix dernières années, les sociétés financières ont accru la taille de leurs positions sur le marché à terme du pétrole. Parallèlement, les prix du pétrole ont connu une augmentation spectaculaire. Cette double évolution a amené certains observateurs à postuler que la spéculation financière était à l'origine de l'envolée des prix du produit, mais plusieurs arguments jettent le doute sur la validité d'une telle hypothèse. Premièrement, bien que le stock de positions ouvertes sur le marché à terme soit largement supérieur au flux de consommation de pétrole aux États-Unis, la comparaison de ces deux statistiques est trompeuse. Contrairement aux flux, les stocks ne sont pas mesurés sur une unité de temps précise, de sorte que les deux ne sont pas directement comparables. Deuxièmement, l’analyse empirique montre que les variations des positions des sociétés financières ne permettent pas de prévoir celles des prix du pétrole, mais que la réciproque est vraie. Troisièmement, les observations indiquent que les positions des sociétés financières n’ont pas amené le marché à anticiper des hausses de prix persistantes en 2007-2008. Parmi les autres causes possibles de la montée des prix du pétrole, on avance les variables macroéconomiques fondamentales, telles que les taux d’intérêt et la demande accrue des pays émergents d’Asie. Des deux explications, celle qui semble cadrer le mieux avec les faits associe les fluctuations des prix du pétrole aux chocs de demande importants et persistants liés à l’expansion de l’activité réelle mondiale en présence de contraintes de l’offre.

title: The Impact of Operational Events on the Network Structure of the LVTS
Creators: name: Roberts, Tom
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2011

description: The author uses a quantitative network analysis approach to assess how participants in the Large Value Transfer System (LVTS) respond to partial outages at other banks. Despite the limited number of operational events, benchmarks can be established. For example, the effect of a partial outage at a big six bank that has a net payment balance of $1 billion is estimated to correspond to a decline in connectivity of about 6 or 7 per cent, due to other participants not sending payments to the problem participant. This suggests that participants tend to perceive a partial outage at a counterparty as inconvenient enough to warrant a delaying of payments, at least to the problem participant. There is no strong evidence of systemic effects, whereby participants also delay payments to non-problem counterparties, in an effort to maintain a reasonable liquidity position. Notable events mostly occurred in 2004 or 2005, and the incidence of operational events did not increase over the sample period. The improvement of contingency measures, such as the use of the LVTS Direct Network, possibly contributed in this regard.
description: L’auteur utilise une approche quantitative d’analyse des réseaux afin d’évaluer comment les institutions qui font partie du Système de transfert de paiements de grande valeur (STPGV) réagissent en cas de panne partielle chez d’autres participants. Malgré le nombre limité d’incidents opérationnels à s’être produits, il est possible d’établir des balises. À titre d’exemple, on estime que l’effet d’une panne partielle dans une des six grandes banques canadiennes qui aurait un solde net de paiement de un milliard de dollars correspond à une perte de connectivité d’environ 6 ou 7 %, attribuable à l’interruption des paiements envoyés à cette institution par les autres. Un tel résultat indique que ce type d’incident est généralement assez préoccupant aux yeux des participants pour justifier un report des paiements, du moins à la contrepartie en cause. Rien ne laisse valablement supposer la présence d’effets systémiques, qui amèneraient les participants à différer leurs paiements même à ceux qui fonctionnent normalement, dans un effort pour maintenir l’équilibre de leur situation de trésorerie. Les incidents opérationnels d’importance sont survenus pour la plupart en 2004 ou en 2005, et leur incidence n’a pas augmenté au cours de la période étudiée. L’amélioration des mesures de contingence, comme le recours au réseau direct du STPGV, n’est peut-être pas étrangère à cette évolution.

description: We introduce \texttt{Weakhub}, a novel neutrino microphysics library that provides opacities and kernels beyond conventional interactions used in the literature. This library includes neutrino-matter, neutrino-photon, and neutrino-neutrino interactions, along with corresponding weak and strong corrections. A full kinematics approach is adopted for the calculations of $β$-processes, incorporating various weak corrections and medium modifications due to the nuclear equation of state. Calculations of plasma processes, electron neutrino-antineutrino annihilation, and nuclear de-excitation are included. We also present the detailed derivations of weak interactions and the coupling of them to the two-moment based general-relativistic multi-group radiation transport in the \texttt{G}eneral-relativistic \texttt{mu}ltigrid \texttt{nu}merical (\texttt{Gmunu}) code. We compare the neutrino opacity spectra for all interactions and estimate their contributions at hydrodynamical points in core-collapse supernova and binary neutron star postmerger remnant, and predict the effects of improved opacities in comparison to conventional ones for a binary neutron star postmerger at a specific hydrodynamical point. We test the implementation of the conventional set of interactions by comparing it to an open-source neutrino library \texttt{NuLib} in a core-collapse supernova simulation. We demonstrate good agreement with discrepancies of less than $\sim 10\%$ in luminosity for all neutrino species, while also highlighting the reasons contributing to the differences. To compare the advanced interactions to the conventional set in core-collapse supernova modelling, we perform simulations to analyze their impacts on neutrino signatures, hydrodynamical behaviors, and shock dynamics, showing significant deviations.

The types of A. (A.) quercicola have been described by Liberti & Zinetti (2009: 51) and are in collection Rey, at the Centre de Conservation et d’Etude des Collections, Musée des Confluences, Lyon. Drawings and further collection localities (French and Italian) can be found in Constantin (2007), Liberti & Zinetti (2009: 51, Figs. 6, 7) and Constantin & Liberti (2011).
3 Syntypes, ♀ ♀, of Haplocnemus brevissimus Pic, 1908, have been found in collection Pic, at MNHNP. They are labeled:
“ Morée” pr.; “type” hwA; “sp.?” hw, grey; “43” hw; “SYNTYPE” prr.;
“Olympia” hwA; “43” hw; “anomalie antennaire” hwA;
“ Zante” hwA; “type” hwA; “brevissimus Pic ” hwA; “TYPE” prr.
The 3 specimens bear a further label “ Syntype / Aplocnemus / brevissimus / Pic 1908 / MNHN Paris, coll. Pic” prr., added by R. Constantin. Although small differences between french and greek populations samples can be detected, it seems wise to avoid establishing subspecies because of the limited number of specimens seen. On the other hand, given that Lyon and Athens are nearly 1700 Km apart, finding small differences between local populations should be expected.
The Holotype, ♀, of Haplocnemus brevissimus var. holtzi Pic, 1908, is in collection Pic, at MNHNP. It is labeled: “ Morea merid. / Kambos, Taygetos / VI.1901 Holtz” pr.; “rufipes var. / unique?” hwA; “voir aussi / chalconatus” hwA; “type” hwA; “ TYPE ” prr.; “ v. Holtzi Pic ” hwA; “ v. Holtzi Pic ” hw on grey paper. The synonymy proposed by Mayor (2007) is here confirmed and justified.

description: In this letter, we show that the Semiclassical Einstein's Field Equation can be recovered using the generalized entropy $S_{gen}$. This approach is reminiscent of non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Furthermore, contrary to the entanglement equilibrium approach of deriving the semiclassical Einstein's equation, this approach does not require any such assumptions and still recovers its correct form. Therefore, in a sense, we also show the validity of the semiclassical approximation, a crucial approach for establishing a number of important ideas such as the Hawking effect.

title: What Matters in Determining Capital Surcharges for Systemically Important Financial Institutions?
Creators: name: Gauthier, Céline

description: One way of internalizing the externalities that each individual bank imposes on the rest of the financial system is to impose capital surcharges on them in line with their systemic importance. Given the complexity of the financial system and the resulting difficulties in measuring systemic importance, it is sometimes argued that higher capital surcharges should be applied to larger banks, abstracting from other factors like interconnectedness. In this paper, the authors consider different network structures of the banking system that are characterized by two different centrality measures. Their main finding is that size alone is not always a good proxy for systemic importance: it must be supplemented with detailed information on interbank exposures. A relatively small bank playing an outsized role in the interbank market might be more systemic, and thus garner a higher capital surcharge, than a less-connected bank of somewhat larger size. Alternatively, if the centrality of banks in an interbank network is positively correlated with their size, then proxies of a bank’s systemic importance largely based on size are sufficient indicators.
description: L’une des façons d’internaliser les externalités que chaque banque impose au reste du système financier consiste à soumettre les institutions bancaires à une exigence supplémentaire de fonds propres établie selon leur importance systémique. Cette importance étant difficile à mesurer à cause de la complexité du système financier, certains préconisent l’application aux grandes banques d’exigences supplémentaires plus élevées, sans tenir compte d’autres facteurs tels que le degré d’interconnexion. Les auteurs de l’étude considèrent diverses structures de réseau interbancaire se caractérisant par deux mesures différentes de la centralité. Leurs résultats révèlent que la taille n’est pas toujours en soi un bon indicateur de l’importance systémique : celui-ci gagne à être complété par un portrait détaillé des expositions interbancaires. Un établissement d’assez petite taille jouant un rôle disproportionné sur le marché interbancaire pourrait avoir une plus grande importance systémique et ainsi se voir assujetti à des exigences supplémentaires plus rigoureuses qu’une banque un peu plus grosse mais moins interconnectée. Les indicateurs de l’importance systémique essentiellement fondés sur la taille de l’institution ne sont adéquats que s’il existe une corrélation positive entre le degré de centralité des banques au sein d’un réseau interbancaire et leur taille.
title: A Foreign Activity Measure for Predicting Canadian Exports
Creators: name: Morel, Louis
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2012

description: The author constructs a measure of foreign activity that takes into account the composition of foreign demand for Canadian exports. It has a number of interesting features. First, the foreign activity measure captures both the composition of demand in the United States (by including components of U.S. private final domestic demand) and economic activity outside of the United States. Second, its coefficients have been estimated over the sample period 1981–2009 controlling for the effect of changes in relative prices. Third, compared with the Bank’s previous U.S. activity index (introduced in the July 2009 Monetary Policy Report), the foreign activity measure provides some improvements for forecasting Canadian exports, especially at longer horizons. For instance, at eight quarters ahead, the gain in terms of forecast accuracy is as much as 22 per cent. Finally, the foreign activity measure helps to explain why Canadian exports dropped by 20 per cent during the global recession of 2008–09 and have only partially recovered since that time.
description: L’auteur construit une mesure de l’activité économique étrangère qui traduit la composition de la demande d’exportations canadiennes. Cette mesure présente certaines caractéristiques intéressantes. Premièrement, elle reflète à la fois la composition de la demande aux États-Unis (puisqu’elle intègre des composantes de la demande intérieure finale privée dans ce pays) et l’activité économique dans le reste du monde. Deuxièmement, l’estimation de ses coefficients sur la période 1981-2009 tient compte de l’effet des modifications des prix relatifs. Troisièmement, la mesure en question permet de mieux prévoir les exportations canadiennes, surtout aux horizons éloignés, que l’indice précédent de l’activité aux États-Unis (décrit dans le Rapport sur la politique monétaire de juillet 2009). À l’horizon de huit trimestres, par exemple, le gain de précision atteint jusqu’à 22 %. Enfin, la mesure de l’activité étrangère aide à expliquer pourquoi les exportations canadiennes ont chuté de 20 % durant la récession mondiale de 2008-2009 et pourquoi elles ne se sont que partiellement redressées depuis.
title: Why Is Cash (Still) So Entrenched? Insights from the Bank of Canada’s 2009 Methods-of-Payment Survey
Creators: name: Arango, Carlos
name: Hogg, Dylan

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2015

description: The authors present key insights from the Bank of Canada’s 2009 Methods-of-Payment survey. In the survey, about 6,800 participants completed a questionnaire with detailed information regarding their personal finances, as well as their use and perceptions of different payment methods. In addition, about 3,500 participants completed a 3-day diary recording information on each transaction, including the value and the payment instrument chosen. One of the main findings from the diaries is that, even though debit and credit cards account for close to 80 per cent of all transactions in terms of total value, cash is still the predominant payment method in terms of volume, accounting for 54 per cent of all transactions. Using the payment records from the diaries, the authors estimate a simple model of choice between cash and other payment methods. The results suggest that the main reasons why cash is still a popular payment instrument in Canada, especially for small-value transactions, are its wide acceptance among merchants, high ease of use or speed, low handling costs, simplicity as a tool to control spending, and anonymity.
description: Les auteurs présentent les points clés de l’enquête sur les modes de paiement menée par la Banque du Canada en 2009. Environ 6 800 participants ont alors répondu à un questionnaire détaillé sur leurs finances personnelles ainsi que sur leur usage et leurs perceptions de diverses méthodes de paiement. En outre, quelque 3 500 participants ont tenu un journal où ils ont consigné pendant trois jours des renseignements sur chacun de leurs achats, notamment sa valeur et l’instrument de paiement employé. L’analyse de ces journaux fait ressortir que même si les règlements par cartes de débit et de crédit représentent près de 80 % des transactions en valeur, l’argent comptant domine toujours pour ce qui est du volume, puisque 54 % des transactions sont réglées en espèces. À l’aide des informations contenues dans les journaux d’achats, les auteurs estiment un modèle simple dans lequel les acheteurs ont le choix entre l’argent liquide et d’autres méthodes de paiement. D’après les résultats du modèle, le règlement en argent comptant reste un mode de paiement populaire au Canada, surtout pour les transactions de faible montant, parce qu’il est bien accepté par les commerçants, qu’il est commode, rapide, peu coûteux et anonyme et qu’il facilite la gestion d’un budget.
title: A Framework to Assess Vulnerabilities Arising from Household Indebtedness Using Microdata

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2012

description: Rising levels of household indebtedness have created concerns about the vulnerabilities of households to adverse economic shocks and the impact on financial stability. To assess these risks, the author presents a formal stress-testing framework that uses microdata to simulate how various economic shocks affect the distribution of the debt-service ratio (DSR) for the household sector. Data from an Ipsos Reid Canadian Financial Monitor survey are used to construct the actual DSR distribution for households. Changes in the distribution are then simulated using a macro scenario describing the evolution of some aggregate variables, and micro behavioural relationships; for example, to simulate credit growth for individual households, cross-sectional data are used to estimate debt-growth equations as a function of household income, interest rates and housing prices. The simulated distributions provide information on vulnerabilities in the household sector. The author also describes a combined methodology where changes in the probability of default on household loans are used as a metric to evaluate the quantitative impact of negative employment shocks on the resilience of households and loan losses at financial institutions.
description: Le niveau d’endettement croissant des ménages suscite des craintes au sujet de leur vulnérabilité à des chocs économiques défavorables ainsi qu’à l’égard des risques que cette vulnérabilité fait peser sur la stabilité financière. En vue d’évaluer ces risques, l’auteur propose un cadre formel qui permet de simuler à l’aide de microdonnées l’effet de divers chocs économiques sur la distribution du ratio du service de la dette dans le secteur des ménages. Il utilise les chiffres de l’enquête Canadian Financial Monitor d’Ipsos Reid pour construire la distribution observée de ce ratio. Il simule ensuite des changements dans cette distribution en se fondant sur un scénario macroéconomique décrivant l’évolution de certaines variables agrégées de même que sur des équations caractérisant les comportements microéconomiques. Par exemple, afin de simuler la croissance du crédit accordé à chacun des ménages, l’auteur estime, au moyen de données transversales, des équations où la croissance de l’endettement est fonction du revenu du ménage, des taux d’intérêt et du prix des maisons. Les distributions obtenues renseignent sur les fragilités au sein du secteur des ménages. L’auteur présente également une méthode mixte où les modifications de la probabilité de défaillance des ménages servent à quantifier l’incidence de chocs d’emploi négatifs sur la résilience des ménages et les pertes sur prêts des institutions financières.

title: A Note on Central Counterparties in Repo Markets
Creators: name: Tomura, Hajime
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2012

description: The author introduces a central counterparty (CCP) into a model of a repo market. Without the CCP, there exist multiple equilibria in the model. In one of the equilibria, a repo market emerges as bond dealers and cash investors choose to arrange repos in an over-the-counter bond market. In another equilibrium, the repo market collapses due to aggregate cash shortage for dealers. Introducing a CCP into the repo market blocks the latter equilibrium. This stabilizing effect of a CCP is robust to idiosyncratic default risk of dealers and asymmetric information about the risk.
description: L’auteur introduit une contrepartie centrale dans un modèle du marché des pensions. En l’absence de contrepartie centrale, le modèle admet des équilibres multiples. Dans l’un de ceux-ci, les courtiers en obligations et les investisseurs qui disposent de liquidités se rencontrent sur le marché pour conclure ensemble de gré à gré des opérations de pension. Dans un autre équilibre, le marché des pensions s’écroule en raison d’une pénurie générale de liquidité chez les courtiers. La création d’une contrepartie centrale sur le marché des pensions empêche l’émergence d’un tel équilibre. Cet effet stabilisateur n’est pas sensible au risque de défaut idiosyncrasique des courtiers ni à l’asymétrie de l’information relative à ce risque.
