description: The mammoth increase in oil prices has generated correspondingly mammoth balance of payments deficits in the main industrialised countries. This has created serious political problems for Europe, among which, those of a more strictly economic nature require the promptest solution. This work considers the two problems of regulation and control of international liquidity. While very closely linked, the former is mainly characterised by technical aspects, whereas the latter involves more complex considerations on the development of a market economy. JEL: F32, G18, F42

description: The Euro-currency markets have expanded very rapidly since 1966. This rapid development has drawn the attention not only of those who are responsible for monetary policy, but also of economists who are by no means in agreement concerning what takes place on the market for Euro-loans. The present work analyses the Euro-market in order to draw some concrete conclusions. A description of the Euro-dollar market is provided and analogies at the national level are made. The author then considers the effect of the Euro-dollar market on the volume of credit before looking at the American balance of payments and Euro-dollar loans. Finally, the determination of interest rates on the Euro-dollar market is examined as well as the issue of control. JEL: E44, E51, E52

description: Weak gravitational lensing has emerged as a leading probe of the growth of cosmic structure. However, the shear signal is very small and accurate measurement depends critically on our ability to understand how non-ideal instrumental effects affect astronomical images. WFIRST will fly a focal plane containing 18 Teledyne H4RG-10 near infrared detector arrays, which present different instrument calibration challenges from previous weak lensing observations. Previous work has shown that correlation functions of flat field images are effective tools for disentangling linear and non-linear inter-pixel capacitance (IPC) and the brighter-fatter effect (BFE). Here we present a Fourier-domain treatment of the flat field correlations, which allows us to expand the previous formalism to all orders in IPC, BFE, and classical non-linearity. We show that biases in simulated flat field analyses in Paper I are greatly reduced through the use of this formalism. We then apply this updated formalism to flat field data from three WFIRST flight candidate detectors, and explore the robustness to variations in the analysis. We find that the BFE is present in all three detectors, and that its contribution to the flat field correlations dominates over the non-linear IPC. The magnitude of the BFE is such that the effective area of a pixel is increased by $(3.54\pm0.03)\times 10^{-7}$ for every electron deposited in a neighboring pixel. We compare IPC maps from flat field autocorrelation measurements to those obtained from the single pixel reset method and find a median difference of 0.113%. After further diagnosis of this difference, we ascribe it largely to an additional source of cross-talk, the vertical trailing pixel effect, and recommend further work to develop a model for this effect. These results represent a significant step toward calibration of the non-ideal effects in WFIRST detectors.

description: The article looks at the combined current-account deficit of the oil-importing countries and of the contribution of the Euro-currency market towards financing it, exploring the economic implications of the Euro-currency market’s potential intermediary role. The analysis focuses on credit and the money supply, the question of multiplier relationships, international liquidity and the problems for domestic and international monetary stability. Comparisons are made both between the present situation and the situation existing before the oil price increase and between alternative ways of financing the deficit. JEL: E44, E51, F32, Q40

description: The rural social movements have been the focus of several studies that point to its active role in the struggle for rights to excluded groups within Brazilian society. Through the collective actions, act as exclusion of resistance and provoke new social dynamics in the field. Starting from the theoretical concept of social movements of Alain Touraine, this paper set out mapping and discussing the state of the art in relation to theses and dissertations on rural social movements. The period adopted to map the theses and dissertations was from 2002 to 2014 and from 1980 to 2015 to the thematic analysis related to the social rural movements. The Alceste software (Analyse Lexicale par Contexte d’un Ensemble de Segments de Texte ) was used for the analysis. The results showed that the period after 2003 highlighted the passage of combative bias for the routinization of social movements, once the social contestations changed from the work life to the everyday life, with a plurality of material and symbolic demand surrounding the recognition of identities and the rural people life styles. This highlights the politics of the customs and practices related to the traditional life style.

Regelklasse festgestellt werden können. Die Beachtung der psychologischen Bedürfnisse fördert die motivationale Handlungsenergie. Zudem sollte Scham und Beschämung vermieden werden, da diese die Motivation blockieren. Während acht Schulwochen wurde der Unterricht nach diesen Leitgedanken vorbereitet und durchgeführt. Gleichzeitig wurden Daten gesammelt. Dies geschah durch Beobachtung und Befragung. Die subjektive soziale Integration wurde eindeutig erhöht. Jedoch wurde die Qualität der Beziehungen durch Angaben der Eltern und der Klasse in Frage gestellt.

description: The objective of this paper is to analyze the employment variation in primary sector between the years 2000-2009 in Brazil. We used the methodology of input-output through the structural decomposition of the employment variation divided into effects of employment intensity, technology, demand structure, demand growth and total net variation. The main results showed that between the periods studied, there was a decrease of 773 thousand jobs in the sector of Agriculture and Extraction. We also find that the Agriculture, Forestry and Lumbering, and Livestock and Fishing sectors were the responsible for the employment decrease through the intensity effect. Looking at the total job variation, we found out that a significant amount of jobs were created in the Oil and Natural Gas and Iron sectors. Despite of that, and mostly because these sectors have a minor participation in the Brazilian primary sector, this employment increase was not enough to counterbalance the job decrease in the other sectors.

The double-bind of oil and aid – a way out

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: Oil crisis, less developed countries, aid
subject: Q40, F35, O19

description: In the search for a solution of the present oil problem very little attention is apparently being paid by the developed nations to the plight of the non-oil producing developing countries (LDCs). While the emphasis of analysis so far has been on the effects on the balance of payments of the industrial Western World and on the huge surpluses accruing to Arab oil producing states, the fact remains that the non-oil producing LDCs are the ones who will suffer the most from the present oil crisis. This article calls attention to the particular predicament which the present oil crisis poses for these countries, and shows that given their fragile economic structures, their limited range of options and scope for effective action, they are in fact its real casualties. Moreover, the author suggests a possible way out of what, for the majority of them, can only be described as a veritable double-bind. JEL: Q40, F35, O19

Subjects: subject: Credit, exports, grey-area export credit
subject: E43, E51, F13

description: For the past several years U.S. exporters of capital equipment and large, turn-key projects have lamented that their competitors in Western Europe and Japan had access to long-term, low-interest rate credit which was not available in the US. They argued that if the U.S. government were to facilitate equivalent types of credit they could significantly increase exports. The credit in question was usually that falling between maturities of 10 and 20 years and between interest rates of 3 and 6 percent. This has come to be referred to as “grey-area” export credit. The present study looks at whether, in fact, U.S. exporters suffered from a lack of this type of export credit. JEL: E43, E51, F13

description: Gegenstand dieser Masterarbeit sind die Ressourcen und Belastungen von Vätern schwerbehinderter Kinder. Dazu entstand anhand von Literatur aus der Heilpädagogik, der Väter- und Stressforschung ein Leitfaden für qualitative Interviews mit sieben betroffenen Vätern, um deren aktuelle Situation zu eruieren. Der empirische Teil erörtert die Aussagen der Väter. Dabei wird klar, dass deren Alltag streng und mit vielfältigen Belastungen verbunden ist. Vor allem in dem Bereich der Alltagsaufgaben und der Frage nach der Zukunft sind die genannten Belastungen hoch. Jedoch sind auch die Ressourcen vielfältig und ermöglichen es den Vätern, den Alltag zu meistern. Bei allen verheirateten Vätern wurde die Ehepartnerin mit Abstand als grösste Hilfe angegeben. Diese Arbeit bietet einen Einblick in die Situation von sieben Vätern und gleichzeitig einen Ausblick auf weitere, mögliche Forschungsfelder.
Universal health care? : access to primary care and missed health care of young adult Canadians
Creators: name: Marshall, Emily Gard
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Prevalence of missed health care by life course stage is examined with a critique of the measure of missed care. Canadians reporting missed care has increased from 4.2% in 1995 to 12.5% in 2001. Research questions: 1. Who reports missed care in Canada? 2. What are the relationships among life course stages, social support, predisposing, enabling and need factors to the reporting of missed care? 3. What is the role that life course stages play in the relationships among social support, predisposing, enabling, and need factors? 4. What kinds of health care are Canadians reporting they missed? 5. What reasons are provide for missing care?; and 6. Who accesses primary care and what is the relationship to reporting missed care? Methods: Analysis was done using the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 2.1. Nested multiple logistic regression models explore the relationships among variables of interest predicting missed care. Results: Young adults (18-30) are more likely to report missed care compared to other age groups and are least likely to have a regular doctor. Social support is most significantly protective against missed care for young adults. Weak sense of belonging to a local community and lower income are stronger predictors of missed care for young adults. Young adults differ from others in the reasons they report for missed care (i.e., more likely to report cost as a barrier). Discussion: It's not clear if the difference between young adults and other life course stages is in actual missed care or expectations of primary care. Yet, the literature on emerging adulthood invites curiosity about how delayed adulthood leaves them in less stable, financially insecure, socially and institutionally isolated situations that have subsequent consequences for primary care access. Changes in models of primary care have led to a decline in comprehensive care and more drop-in clinics; while, not having a regular doctor is associated with missed care. If patterns of inadequate primary care access established in young adulthood are perpetuated in later life, this may foretell undesirable consequences for the health of Canadians. A new model for measuring unmet health care needs is proposed.
Stochastic Super-Resolution for Downscaling Time-Evolving Atmospheric Fields with a Generative Adversarial Network

description: Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have been recently adopted for super-resolution, an application closely related to what is referred to as "downscaling" in the atmospheric sciences: improving the spatial resolution of low-resolution images. The ability of conditional GANs to generate an ensemble of solutions for a given input lends itself naturally to stochastic downscaling, but the stochastic nature of GANs is not usually considered in super-resolution applications. Here, we introduce a recurrent, stochastic super-resolution GAN that can generate ensembles of time-evolving high-resolution atmospheric fields for an input consisting of a low-resolution sequence of images of the same field. We test the GAN using two datasets, one consisting of radar-measured precipitation from Switzerland, the other of cloud optical thickness derived from the Geostationary Earth Observing Satellite 16 (GOES-16). We find that the GAN can generate realistic, temporally consistent super-resolution sequences for both datasets. The statistical properties of the generated ensemble are analyzed using rank statistics, a method adapted from ensemble weather forecasting; these analyses indicate that the GAN produces close to the correct amount of variability in its outputs. As the GAN generator is fully convolutional, it can be applied after training to input images larger than the images used to train it. It is also able to generate time series much longer than the training sequences, as demonstrated by applying the generator to a three-month dataset of the precipitation radar data. The source code to our GAN is available at https://github.com/jleinonen/downscaling-rnn-gan.

description: This study analyses the structure of the market of agricultural tractors in Brazil and measures the impacts of concentration from the acquisition of Valtra by AGCO, the two larger companies in the local market, on the market power index (Lerner index). In order to do this, a demand function for agricultural tractors including intervention variables (dummies of intercept and slope) was conducted so that its parameters were used in the index. For this purpose, the methodology of Cointegration Analyses with a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) was used. The results indicate that the concentration was not reflected in significant changes in price elasticities. On the other hand, the Lerner index, which is high in level, increased considerably after the merger due to the market share gains of AGCO.

description: A parallel plate differential mobility analyzer (DMA) having 100 independent current collectors is calibrated to relate the axial distances Ln between the inlet slit and the detector position to the particle mobility Z at given voltage difference V and sheath gas flow rate Q. Calibrating species are tetraheptylammonium bromide clusters (THABr) and polyethylene glycol (PEG35k, 5 nm in diameter), generated by a bipolar electrospray source, and purified in a cylindrical DMA. Gaussian fitting of the raw discrete mobility spectra in the form of ion current In versus collector position Ln, In(Ln), yield the mean value Lo of the collector position maximizing the signal for a given ion. The many (Z,V,Lo) triads obtained at given Q from many different DMA voltages and standard mobilities collapse into a single 1/(ZiVj) vs Lo curve when slight adjustments are made to the Zi. For different flow rates, Q/(ZiVj) vs. Lo curves collapse also, as long as the peaks are moderately narrow. However, for sufficiently small Q/Z, the THABr cluster peaks become broad, and the curves Q/(ZiVj) vs. Lo cease to collapse precisely. In contrast, the data for PEG show that this behavior is not a low-Q (Reynolds number) effect from the growth of the two lateral boundary layers, but is rather due to the broad and non-Gaussian peak shapes obtained at low Q or high Z. The calibration is accordingly unaffected by the Reynolds number. This simplicity was unexpected, given the three-dimensional flow in this DMA with growing lateral boundary layers.

The rate structure and capital movements: a note on operation twist
Creators: name: ROWAN, D.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Interest rate adjustments, capital movements, Operation Twist
subject: E43, E58, F32

description: The work looks at whether interest rate adjustments desirable for cyclical purposes can be made in a form which limits or discourages the outflow of capital. As a result of the widely accepted hypothesis that capital movements are primarily functions of short-term rates while aggregate demand is a a function primarily of long-term rates, it is often suggested that low rates at long-term should be accompanies by high rates at short-term. This implies that the reduction in long-rates should be carried out in a way that narrows the long-short differential. One such attempt along these lines was “Operation Twist”, conducted by the U.S. authorities after the 1960-61 recession. That policy is briefly re-examined and its impact on capital flows from the U.S. is assessed. JEL: E43, E58, F32

The sterile neutrino's mass is around the electroweak scale $50 \text{ GeV} \leq m_N \leq 200 \text{ GeV}$, and the acquired thermal averaged effective width $\barΓ_{\text{tot}}$ is continuous around the cross-over. We will also apply our results to perform a preliminary calculation of the leptogenesis.

description: Regression-based strategies along with propensity score matching (PSM) were used to assess the farm-level economic impact of community action (CA) strategies associated with ecologicallybased rodent management (EBRM). The paddy yield and real net income of rice farmerbeneficiaries of the EBRM approach in An Giang Province, Mekong River Delta, Vietnam, were analyzed using panel data from 151 rice farmers. PSM along with the difference-indifference framework using the fixed-effect approach were found to be the most appropriate methods to evaluate the farm-level economic impact of the adoption of the CA strategies. The EBRM through CA did not replace what the farmers were doing, but rather built on their practices and incorporated a scientific basis by encouraging farmers to work together at key times of a cropping season. In terms of labor use for rodent control, CA only entailed an additional 0.3 man-days/ha for every CA. Normally, for a 40-hectare (ha) rice field, around 30 persons participated in each CA including men, women, and children. With two to three times done in a season, a total of 1 man-day/ha is as an additional labor for the whole season. The adoption of the EBRM through CA had a significant and positive impact on paddy yield and real net income of rice farmers. The mean paddy yield increased by 0.43-0.45 ton per ha and real net income of the beneficiaries increased by VND1.16–1.19 million/ ha (approximately USD65-67/ha). These findings imply that the adoption of the CA strategies in rodent pest management as part of EBRM may not only have partly contributed to food security and increased household income of the rice farmer-beneficiaries but also to environmental improvement in these communities.
Demand for money, interest rates and income taxation

Subjects: subject: Monetary theory, demand for money, rate of interest, taxation
subject: E41, E43, H24

description: One of the central problems of modern monetary theory is the determination of of how much money people will choose to hold under alternative situations. The present work argues that the empirical work that has thus far tried to establish a relationship between the demand for money and the rate of interest has not used a truly relevant rate. It is shown that, when the proper modifications are made, there appears to be a somewhat higher statistical relationship between variables and thus the interest elasticity of the demand for money becomes greater. The author first discusses the general hypothesis to be tested empirically before presenting the data to be tested. Results of the test are then presented and some conclusions are dawn.

description: Coffee development has big potential as coffee is one of the globally traded commodities in the world. Arabica and Robusta are the most popular coffee varieties produced by smallholder farmers in Indonesia, including those in Flores Island, Nusa Tenggara Timur Province. The produce of this island is well known in the global market as Flores coffee. Coffee farmers have poor knowledge and skills in farm management, which, along with poor postharvest practices, had contributed to low productivity and low quality of coffee beans. A project (AIP-PRISMA) has been implemented in Ngada District in Flores Island with the goal of increasing productivity and developing goodquality coffee. This study aims to describe the model business implemented in coffee development and the roles of actors involved in the business model. Ngada District was purposively selected as study site because a coffee development center exists in the island. Data were collected using focus group discussion (FGD) and documentation techniques. In this study, data collected is fully analyzed using descriptive method. The results of study pointed out that there are five main value chain actors involved in the market system. The first three are the coffee farmers’ cooperative, PT. Indokom Citra Persada (coffee exporter), and the Bank of Nusa Tenggara Timur (a local government bank). Also, there are two supporting value chain actors, namely the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute (ICCRI, a research institution), and VECO-Indonesia (an international non-government organization or NGO). Inclusive business among the actors was based on a business model. There is a strong partnership among the five actors locally called panca datu (panca is five, and datu is element). Sustainability of inclusive business is happening because each actor plays the roles and generates an economic incentive for each.

description: Multiple approaches are required to study the evolution of black-hole binaries. While the post-Newtonian approximation is sufficient to describe the early inspiral (even from infinitely large orbital separation), only numerical relativity can capture the full complexity of the dynamics near merger. We combine multi-timescale post-Newtonian integrations with numerical-relativity surrogate models, thus mapping the entire history of the binary from its asymptotic configuration at past-time infinity to the post-merger remnant. This approach naturally allows us to assess the impact of the precessional and orbital phase on the properties - mass, spin, and kick - of the merger remnant. These phases introduce a fundamental uncertainty when connecting the two extrema of the binary evolution.

description: The Cerro Negro Anticlinal located between the municipalities of Oiba and Charalá south of the department of Santander, Colombia, provides valuable information about the development and evolution of karst systems, much of the area is affected by limestone dissolution processes within the Rosablanca Formation. On the eroded flanks of the anticline, there are bodies of water that correspond to closed depressions, as well as karst valleys, caves and geoforms characteristic of this environment. Given the need to characterize this system, which has not been studied before, a morphometric analysis of closed depressions was made from satellite images to find a relationship of its spatial distribution with the orientation of geological structures. In addition, a field campaign was carried out to recognize the spatial distribution of the system and the acquisition of subsoil information was carried out by means of electrical resistivity tomography. The morphometric analysis performed at 178 closed depressions allowed to establish that its spatial distribution occurs in clusters in which elliptical and elongated forms predominate, there is a relationship between the elongation directions of the closed depressions with the preferential directions of the geological structures, such as the joint systems (oblique and longitudinal) and the Amansagatos fault which can have greater influence in the depressions located to the north of the structure. Four caves were found during the field campaign which confirms a more advanced state of karstification. The interpretation of the tomography lines allowed to identify subsoil areas where there may be presence of fractured limestone and contain variation in water saturation related to flows that are part of the underground circulation. With the unified information, a geological and geomorphological mapping was performed at a 1: 25000 scale, determining the denudational morphogenetic environment as the predominant one, followed by the structural and karst.

description: The (secondary) electron emission from multilayered Al$_2$O$_3$/TiN membranes has been investigated with a hemispherical collector system in a scanning electron microscope for electrons with energies between 0.3 and 10 keV. These ultra-thin membranes are designed to function as transmission dynodes in novel vacuum electron multipliers. Two different types, a bi-layer and a tri-layer, have been manufactured by means of atomic-layer deposition (ALD) of aluminum oxide and sputtering of titanium nitride. The reflection and transmission electron yield ($σ_R$, $σ_T$) have been measured for both types of membranes. In comparison, the tri-layer membranes outperformed the bi-layer membranes in terms of transmission electron yield for films with the same effective thickness. The highest transmission electron yield was measured on an Al$_2$O$_3$/TiN/Al$_2$O$_3$ film with layer thicknesses of 5/2.5/5 nm, which had a maximum transmission electron yield $σ_\text{T}^\text{max}(E_0)$ of 3.1 (1.55 keV). Furthermore, the bi-layer membranes have been investigated more in-depth by performing an additional measurement using a positive sample bias to separate the transmitted fraction $η_T$ and the transmission secondary electron yield $δ_T$. The transmitted fraction was used to determine the transmission parameter $p$, which characterizes the interaction of primary electrons (PEs) in thin films. The transmission secondary electron yield was used to compare the energy transfer of PEs in films with different thicknesses.
The mortgage bonds market and housing finance in Italy

Subjects: subject: Italy, long-term credit, housing finance, mortgage bonds market, monetary authorities
subject: G21, E58

description: In Italy, long- and medium-term credit is, as a rule, granted by specialised intermediaries, while short-term operations are left to commercial and savings banks. Over the last twenty years the demand for medium- and long-term finance has increased considerably and within the area of special credit, those institutions operating in the field of housing finance are the ones which have shown the highest rate of growth. This is largely due to the increased demand for housing stemming from urbanisation. The article first looks at the general aspects of the mortgage bonds market in Italy before examining supply and demand of Mortgage bonds. The authors then analyse the interventions of the monetary authorities. Finally, the role of long-term credit in housing finance is assessed. JEL: G21, E58

Metric multidimensional scaling for large single-cell datasets using neural networks

description: Metric multidimensional scaling is one of the classical methods for embedding data into low-dimensional Euclidean space. It creates the low-dimensional embedding by approximately preserving the pairwise distances between the input points. However, current state-of-the-art approaches only scale to a few thousand data points. For larger data sets such as those occurring in single-cell RNA sequencing experiments, the running time becomes prohibitively large and thus alternative methods such as PCA are widely used instead. Here, we propose a simple neural network-based approach for solving the metric multidimensional scaling problem that is orders of magnitude faster than previous state-of-the-art approaches, and hence scales to data sets with up to a few million cells. At the same time, it provides a non-linear mapping between high- and low-dimensional space that can place previously unseen cells in the same embedding.

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, wie Eltern junger Erwachsener mit Trisomie 21 die Wohnsituation ihrer Kinder einschätzen, insbesondere welche Gründe sie dafür sehen, dass die jungen Erwachsenen (noch) im Elternhaus wohnen. Es wurden acht Elternpaare befragt, welche ein Kind mit Trisomie 21 im Erwachsenenalter zu Hause haben. Dabei wurden sie gebeten, ihre persönlichen Gründe und ihr Wohlbefinden in Bezug auf ihre Wohnsituation mit ihrem erwachsenen Kind zu schildern. In dieser Studie wurden verschiedene Themen aus der Fachliteratur bearbeitet: das Elternhaus mit einem Kind mit Trisomie 21, die Abhängigkeit und die Bindung zwischen den Eltern und den Kindern und das Thema der Ablösung. Die Studie konzentriert sich auf den Kanton Schaffhausen, in dem das Wohnangebot für Erwachsene mit einer Beeinträchtigung betrachtet wird. Das aus dem Leitfadeninterview gewonnene Gesprächsmaterial wurde mittels einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und anschliessend von der Autorin diskutiert. Ziel der Arbeit ist es einerseits, Heilpädagoginnen und Heilpädagogen Einblick in einen ihnen unbekannten Lebensausschnitt von betroffenen Eltern zu gewähren, andererseits. Eltern anzuregen, sich mit dem Thema der Ablösung auseinanderzusetzen, und letztlich soll sie einen Grundstein für weiterführende Forschungsprojekte in einem noch kaum erforschten Themengebiet legen.

description: We provide an exact analytical technique to obtain within a lattice model the wave functions of the edge states in zigzag- and bearded-edge graphene, as well as of the Fermi-arc surface states in Weyl semimetals described by a minimal bulk model. We model the corresponding boundaries as an infinite scalar potential localized on a line, and respectively within a plane. We use the T-matrix formalism to obtain the dispersion and the spatial distribution of the corresponding boundary modes. Furthermore, to demonstrate the power of our approach, we write down the surface Green's function of the considered Weyl semimetal model, and we calculate the quasiparticle interference patterns originating from an impurity localized at the respective surface.

description: Swarms of coupled mobile agents subject to inter-agent wireless communication delays are known to exhibit multiple dynamic patterns in space that depend on the strength of the interactions and the magnitude of the communication delays. We experimentally demonstrate communication delay-induced bifurcations in the spatio-temporal patterns of robot swarms using two distinct hardware platforms in a mixed reality framework. Additionally, we make steps toward experimentally validating theoretically predicted parameter regions where transitions between swarm patterns occur. We show that multiple rotation patterns persist even when collision-avoidance strategies are incorporated, and we show the existence of multi-stable, co-existing rotational patterns not predicted by usual mean field dynamics. Our experiments are the first significant steps towards validating existing theory and the existence and robustness of the delay-induced patterns in real robotic swarms.

The Community and the disruption of the world monetary system

Subjects: subject: European integration, EEC, monetary union, world inflation, world monetary system
subject: F36, E42, E31

description: The last three yeas have witnessed a series of crises, disappointments and setbacks that have made the pursuit of the economic, monetary and political union of the European Community increasingly difficult. The present work argues, however, that the problems which presently assail European integration, far from excusing new delays and tergiversations, make it essential to move sooner and faster than previously planned. The author confines analysis to the most anguishing monetary problems - world inflation and international monetary disorder - and shows how the creation of a European monetary area could facilitate their solution and thereby be of immense assistance in the final completion of the economic, monetary and political union of Europe.
