Reshaping the international monetary and financial arrangements
Creators: name: SACCHETTI, U.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: International monetary system, international financial system, reform
subject: E42, F33

description: The work deals with the reform of the International monetary system, the end result of four years of laborious negotiations. The author agrees with the majority of commentators that relatively little has been accomplished. He differs from them, however, in two major respects. The first regards the evaluation of the limited results. The second regards the direction in which, under the circumstances, efforts could have been more profitably directed. General comments are provided on both of these points. Then, proposals which concern chiefly the monetary system, but also cover the international financial system, are outlined. JEL: E42, F33

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit individuellen Förderplänen von Kindern im Primarschulalter, die im Kanton Zürich im integrativen Setting unterrichtet werden. Ziel ist es herauszufinden, inwiefern der Förderplan als kooperatives Arbeitswerkzeug im Schulalltag gebraucht wird. Die Förderpläne werden nach Qualitätskriterien untersucht und Zusammenhänge der Qualität
 und der Kooperation eruiert. Für die Untersuchung wurden 99 Förderpläne und ein Fragebogen, der an die förderplanverantwortlichen Personen ging, nach einer quantitativen Methode ausgewertet. 64 Fragebögen konnten berücksichtigt werden. Die zentralen Ergebnisse weisen auf eine regelmässige Konsultation und Aktualisierung der Förderpläne durch die förderplanverantwortlichen Personen hin. Die Kooperation beschränkt sich, wenn sie überhaupt stattgefunden hat, vor allem auf die Klassenlehrkräfte. Des Weiteren hat sich herausgestellt, dass es keinen Zusammenhang zwischen der Qualität und der Anzahl Beteiligter Personen bei der Erstellung der Förderpläne gibt. Die Hypothese, dass ein besserer Förderplan öfter konsultiert wird, konnte nicht bestätigt werden.
The problem of remonetizing gold

Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Dollar-reserve system, gold-reserve system, SDR
subject: E42

description: The paper addresses the question of whether it might be more feasible to replace the dollar-reserve system by a gold-reserve system than it was to replace it by an SDR system. The author first outlines some salient features of the present monetary status of gold. A brief summary of the characteristics that are generally assumed to be necessary for a reserve system is then provided. How a gold-reserve system would need to be designed in order to satisfy such requirements is then considered. In addition, the feasibility of introducing such a system is assessed. Finally, some implication of the analysis are provided. JEL: E42

Strong biases in retrieved atmospheric composition caused by strong day-night chemical heterogeneities

description: Most planets currently amenable to transit spectroscopy are close enough to their host star to exhibit a relatively strong day to night temperature gradient. For hot planets, this leads to cause a chemical composition dichotomy between the two hemispheres. In the extreme case of ultra hot jupiters, some species, such as molecular hydrogen and water, are strongly dissociated on the day-side while others, such as carbon monoxide, are not. However, most current retrieval algorithm rely on 1D forward models that are unable to model this effect. We thus investigate how the 3D structure of the atmosphere biases the abundances retrieved using commonly used algorithms. We study the case of Wasp-121b as a prototypical ultra hot Jupiter. We use the simulations of this planet performed with the SPARC/MIT global climate model (GCM) and generate transmission spectra that fully account for the 3D structure of the atmosphere with Pytmopsh3R. These spectra are then analyzed using the \taurex retrieval code. We find that such ultra hot jupiter's transmission spectra exhibit muted H$_2$O features that originate in the night-side where the temperature, hence the scale-height, is smaller than on the day-side. However, the spectral features of molecules present on the day-side are boosted by both its high temperature and low mean molecular weight. As a result, the retrieved parameters are strongly biased compared to the ground truth. In particular the [CO]/[H$_2$O] is overestimated by one to three orders of magnitude. This must be kept in mind when using such retrieval analysis to infer the C/O ratio of a planet's atmosphere. We also discuss whether indicators can allow us to infer the 3D structure of an observed atmosphere. Finally we show that HST/WFC3 transmission data of Wasp-121b are compatible with the day-night thermal and compositional dichotomy predicted by models.

title: Tectonic evolution of the Western Limassol Forest Complex, Cyprus
Creators: name: Murton, Bramley James
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: The Western Limassol Forest Complex (WLFC), Cyprus, forms an anomalous ophioliteterrain in the south of the Troodos Massif. Detailed studies have revealed magmatic and structural histories that differ markedly from the Penrose-type ophiolite of the Troodos Massif to the north. In the WLFC, a tectonised harzburgite of upper mantle origin has been intruded by multiple ultramafic and gabbroic plutons and swarms of mainly NE-SW trending dykes. The entire complex has been sheared along E-W trending serpentinite shear zones, the orientation of which indicate sinistral displacement. The various styles of deformation from ductile to brittle, and the progressive cooling history of the Intrusive plutons and dykes indicate a history of about 4km of uplift for the host upper mantle lithologies, while in a sea floor setting. The geochemistry of the intrusive plutons and dykes is similar to the lavas that crop out around the periphery of the WLFC, and Indicate derivation from a depleted upper mantle source. Geochemical comparison with the Troodos massif basalts suggests a tectonic history involving rapid extension across the WLFC and adiabatic melting of the upper mantle producing boninitic magmas. The regional setting for the WLFC suggests a model of formation involving the development of a transtensional transform fault zone and an extensional relay zone that off-set to the south, sinistral transform movement along the Arakapas fault belt. Comparison of the WLFC with a transpressional palaeo-transform fault preserved in the Antalya complex of Turkey suggests that the Neo-Tethyan spreading system (within which the Troodos massifformed) was experiencing an anticlockwise rotational torque during the final stages of oceanic crustal formation.

description: In the recent literature on the appropriate structure for an international monetary system characterised by either adjustable-peg or gliding-peg exchange rates, a great deal of attention has been placed on the concept of the pivot. the present work seeks to place this literature in proper perspective, critically reexamining the propositions that have been advanced about the pivot and identifying thew weaknesses and strengths inherent in each. The various statements on the subject are first restated as formal theorems, and the arguments used to justify them are outlined. The policy implications implicit in such theorems are then developed. A critical evaluation of the basic theorems and their associated policy implications is then presented. Finally, some unresolved questions regarding the pivot are indicated. JEL: E42

Publisher: name: ADVAGEN Project
Year: 2024

description: In order to maximise the visibility of the ADVAGEN project, as well as the wide promotion of its results, the partners have hereby drafted a plan for dissemination and exploitation including communication activities (abbreviated as DEC plan in the following). This document will be the reference for ADVAGEN partners for planning the activities and evaluating the impact of communication and dissemination activities, as well as exploitation ones. Such a plan will be updated and adjusted as the project progresses. In particular, this deliverable (D8.4) is the update of D8.1 (M6) submitted and approved earlier, and D8.5 at M48 will be the final one. Yet, modifications can be carried out more regularly depending on the results of the initial communication, dissemination, and exploitation activities.

The main purpose of this DEC plan is to ensure that the project research and results are widely disseminated to the appropriate target audiences, at appropriate times along the project lifetime, via appropriate methods, and that those who can contribute to the development, evaluation, uptake, and exploitation of the ADVAGEN project results can be identified and encouraged to interact with the project on a regular and systematic basis.

Furthermore, this document describes the methodology that will be used for the definition of the Exploitation plans for the KERs (T8.3) as well as the networking activities (T8.4). For the development of the Exploitation plans, as a first step, the KERs will be further elaborated during the project term. During the General Assembly (GA) meetings, TechConcepts has already organized two workshops, first for team building while the second for the identification of unforeseen KERs and classification of all the KERs. Such classifications includes further detailing of the foreseen and unforeseen KERs, including the identification of the exploitation potential of each KER (scientific, societal, commercial and/or regulatory). Finally, this document will provide an update of the networking and clustering activites carried out within the project so far.

description: We calculate the differential branching fraction, lepton forward-backward asymmetry and direct CP asymmetry for $B_{d,s}\toγ\ell\bar{\ell}$ decays with an energetic photon. We employ factorization methods, which result in rigorous next-to-leading order predictions in the strong coupling at leading power in the large-energy/heavy-quark expansion, together with estimates of power corrections and a resonance parameterization of sub-leading power form factors in the region of small lepton invariant mass $q^2$. The $B_{d,s}\toγ\ell\bar{\ell}$ decay shares features of the charged-current decay $B_u \to γ\ell\barν_\ell$, and the FCNC decays $B\to K^{(*)}\ell\bar\ell$. As in the former, the leading-power decay rates can be expressed in terms of the $B$-meson light-cone distribution amplitude and short-distance factors. However, similar to $B\to K^{(*)}\ell\bar\ell$, four-quark and dipole operators contribute to the $B_{d,s}\toγ\ell\bar{\ell}$ decay in an essential way, limiting the calculation to $q^2\lesssim 6\,$GeV$^2$ below the charmonium resonances in the lepton invariant mass spectrum. A detailed analysis of the main observables and theoretical uncertainties is presented.

title: The Labour movement in Nottingham 1880-1918
Creators: name: Wyncoll, Peter Harold
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1982

description: This study of the Labour Movement in Nottingham 1880-1918 sets out to examine the development in size, self confidence and influence of the working class institutions built by the men and women workers of Nottingham in a period when Socialism in all its variegated forms was becoming the established philosophy of the British working class.

Attention is given to the manner in which the Nottingham workers responded to the specific threats and challenges of the period. The main concern of the thesis, however, is to try to understand how it was that although in 1873 the vangard of the local labour movement could earn for Nottingham the description of "advanced" or ''banner town", its developed mass movement was in 1918 being described as "the despair of labour politicians".

Part of the explanation for this seeming paradox, it is suggested lies in demographic factors which, up until the First World War, gave'control of the Trades Council to an alliance ot aristocratic lace workers and newly urbanised colliers who tor many years were politically dominated by Liberal coal owners. It is also argued that political "accidents" of personality and geographical factors which ensured that Parliamentary "two member" alliances could not be struck with the Liberals need to be taken into consideration.

Less certainly, the geological conditions of the Nottinghamshire coalfield which may have dampened the militancy of the mining community are pointed to as a possible retarding factor. Similarly, it is argued that the appeal of protectionism for some lace workers, and the a-political or anti-political attitudes of the exceptionally large female proletariat were together with the attitudes of the casual poor important special elements in the Nottingham situation which helped to explain its relative backwardness.
Contributions to understanding the genetics and functions of melanin in Ophiostomatoid fungi
Creators: name: Tanguay, Philippe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The forest products industry plays a critical role in the Canadian economy. In order to remain competitive and profitable, the industry relies on the production of high quality products. However, the aesthetic quality of wood is often compromised by sapstain wood-inhabiting fungi that produce a blue to black discoloration that reduces its value. To develop efficient and environmentally sound control methods, the fundamental nature of the fungal stain has to be deciphered. In this thesis, we examined which genetic factors affected pigmentation and determined one biological function of melanin in the sapstaining Ophiostomatoid fungi. The screening of an insertional mutant library identified 30 Ophiostoma piceae mutants with pigmentation or growth defects. Four pigmentation mutants were further characterized. One mutation in the polyketide synthase gene (PKS1), which encodes an enzyme specific to the melanin biosynthesis pathway, caused albinism while mutations in three other genes only reduced the pigmentation. In the latter, mutations happened in genes that appeared to be involved in the transcriptional regulation of melanin production. These genes were predicted to encode a protein from a MAP kinase signaling pathway, a transcription factor (PIG1), and a protein with unknown function. Additionally, we characterized a spontaneous Ceratocystis resinifera albino mutant (Kasper). Molecular work revealed that the albino phenotype resulted from a single point mutation in the PKS1 gene of the melanin pathway. The results from O. piceae and C. resinifera showed that even if multiple genes are involved in melanin production, a single mutation in the PKS1 gene was enough to induce albinism. Using the mutants described in this study, we found that melanin was involved in the maturation of sexual fruiting bodies. The perithecia from O. piceae and C. resinifera PKS1 mutants had incomplete necks and contained no ascospores. Finally, we assessed the efficiency of Kasper in preventing spruce sapstain in a field trial performed across Canada. Kasper reduced sapstain and was more efficient than Cartapip97, the only sapstain biocontrol agent available commercially. It is anticipated that this information will help both researchers and the forest products industry to develop safe and effective means for controlling sapstain.

description: The work represents an in-depth analysis of employment and productive capacity in Italy. The author first looks at participation rates in the official statistics and international comparisons before considering other attempts to measure the labour force and the mechanisms which determine “irregular employment”. A possible interpretation of the Italian situation is then provided. Productive capacity development and micro-firms are then dealt with, as well as the time needed to catch up with European levels. Earnings levels and labour conditions are then compared and observations are made on the distributive shares. JEL: E24, J24

title: Electoral politics in Grimsby 1818-1835
Creators: name: Cooper, Christopher John
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1988

description: Large urban parliamentary constituencies and rural (county> constituencies have received much attention in recent years from historical psephologists: the smaller borough constituencies have received comparatively little yet in important ways these were the 'typical' constituencies. This study is an attempt to remedy that hiatus, and is somewhat novel in examining electoral behaviour over a number of elections spanning the period of the first Reform Act. That voting was open is crucial to an understanding of voting behaviour in this period, for in general the smaller the constituency the greater the opportunities for influencing the vote casting of electors. The existence within small boroughs of a large body of independent electors freely expressing their will in the polls may be an image conveyed by campaign literature, yet it was in large measure a fiction. This study emphasises the pervasiveness and significance of 'influence', both legitimate and otherwise, and suggests that political inclination, social class, and even bribery were relatively unimportant when set against the widely spread tentacles of influence as mediated. through property. Family influences too were significant, and it is clear that electors were calculating individuals. A detailed longitudinal study has been made possible by the nature of the available data (pollbooks, directories, corporation records, and a singular collection of letters and election material) and some considerable evidence on spatial distribution of partisan votes has emerged. It has also become clear that voting in parliamentary elections resembled closely that in local elections, and was subject to the same influences and directed by the same organisational machine, however informal that may have been. Finally, the Reform Act of 1832, interpreted by Whig historians as a landmark on the road to democracy, had a quite different impact locally. Formal changes in Grimsby made for a less representative electorate, a regression rather than advance of democracy. The Act left the influences on voters largely unchanged.

description: We have updated the Munich galaxy formation model, L-Galaxies, to follow the radial distributions of stars and atomic and molecular gas in galaxy discs. We include an H2-based star-formation law, as well as a detailed chemical-enrichment model with explicit mass-dependent delay times for SN-II, SN-Ia and AGB stars. Information about the star formation, feedback and chemical-enrichment histories of discs is stored in 12 concentric rings. The new model retains the success of its predecessor in reproducing the observed evolution of the galaxy population, in particular, stellar mass functions and passive fractions over the redshift range 0<=z<=3 and mass range 8<=log(M_*/Msun)<=12, the black hole-bulge mass relation at z=0, galaxy morphology as a function of stellar mass and the mass-metallicity relations of both stellar and gas components. In addition, its detailed modelling of the radial structure of discs allows qualitatively new comparisons with observation, most notably with the relative sizes and masses of the stellar, atomic and molecular components in discs. Good agreement is found with recent data. Comparison of results obtained for simulations differing in mass resolution by more than two orders of magnitude shows that all important distributions are numerically well converged even for this more detailed model. An examination of metallicity and surface-density gradients in the stars and gas indicates that our new model, with star formation, chemical enrichment and feedback calculated self-consistently on local disc scales, reproduces some but not all of the trends seen in recent many-galaxy IFU surveys.

Subjects: subject: Italy, inflation, financial savings, households,
subject: E31, E21, H31

description: In Italy the role of Households in the formation of the national net savings is considerable and is characterised by a high propensity to accumulate financial assets in proportion to the available income. In recent years, it is the only sector to show positive financial balances on a scale and of a dynamism which are not to be found in any other European country. The present study provides an estimate of the yield, both in monetary and real terms, of the financial savings of Households from 1964 to 1976 and of the loss of wealth suffered by it as a result.

description: Das vorgestellte Lehrkonzept wird im Rahmen der bildungswissenschaftlichen Vorbereitung auf das Praxissemester durchgeführt. Der Schwerpunkt des Konzeptes liegt darauf, die Relevanz der emotionalen und sozialen Kompetenz im pädagogischen Kontext zu unterstreichen und ein Bewusstsein für deren Rolle in einer Lehr-Lern-Beziehung zu schaffen. Dafür werden jeweils zu den 5 Teilkompetenzen (1) Erkennen der eigenen Emotionen, (2) Erkennen der Emotionen bei anderen, (3) Regulation eigener Emotionen, (4) emotionale Expressivität und (5) Aushalten von Emotionen thematisch ausgerichtete Kurzvorträge und praktische Übungsphasen angeboten, sodass die Studierenden den theoretischen Input praktisch erfassen und erproben können mit dem Ziel, sowohl deklaratives Wissen über emotionale Prozesse zu erwerben als auch die eigene emotionale und soziale Kompetenz zu fördern und emotionales Wissen aufzubauen. Fallbeispiele aus der Schule (Videoaufzeichnungen von unterrichtlichen Situationen oder Fallvignetten) dienen dazu, die zentrale Rolle von Emotionen in der Lehrkraft-Schüler*innen-Interaktion zu erfahren und Strategien zu entwickeln, situationsspezifisch und ggf. deeskalierend agieren zu können. Gleichzeitig wird ein Bewusstsein dafür geschaffen, dass Lehrkräfte eine Vorbildfunktion für die Schüler*innen bezüglich der emotionalen Kompetenz und der Emotionsregulation haben und deren emotionale und soziale Kompetenzentwicklung unterstützen sollen. Um die Bedeutung von und den Umgang mit Emotionen im Schulkontext wahrzunehmen und zu reflektieren, verfassen die Studierenden während der praktischen Phase ein Lerntagebuch zu diesem Thema.

Additional information about this Adis Drug Review can be found hereAbstractThe global spread of antibacterial-resistant strains, especially methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs), has driven the need for novel antibacterials. Delafloxacin [Quofenix™ (EU); Baxdela® (USA)], a new fluoroquinolone (FQ), has a unique chemical structure that enhances its antibacterial activity in acidic environments such as occurs in ABSSSIs (including S. aureus infections). Delafloxacin (intravenous and oral formulations) is approved in several countries for the treatment of adults with ABSSSIs (featured indication). In intent-to-treat analyses in pivotal phase 3 trials in adults with ABSSSIs, including those with comorbid disease, intravenous delafloxacin monotherapy (± oral switch after six doses) twice daily was noninferior to intravenous vancomycin + aztreonam for primary endpoints, as specified by the FDA (objective response rate at 48–78 h after initiation of therapy) and the EMA [investigator-assessed clinical cure rate at the follow-up visit at day 14 (± 1 day)]. Delafloxacin was generally well tolerated, with most treatment-related adverse events mild to moderate in severity and few patients discontinuing treatment because of these events. Relative to vancomycin + aztreonam (a non-FQ regimen), delafloxacin treatment was not associated with an increased risk of FQ-associated AEs of special interest. Given its unique chemical structure that confers novel properties relative to other FQ and its broad spectrum of activity against common clinically relevant Gram-positive pathogens, including against MRSA strains (± FQ-resistance mutations), and Gram-negative pathogens, intravenous delafloxacin (± oral switch) provides a novel emerging option for the treatment of adult patients with ABSSSIs.

description: Several developments after the mid-1960s in socialist and capitalist countries, in particular the upheavals in the international monetary scene and the spectacular expansion of East-West financial relations since the early 1970s, have placed the question of monetary cooperation between the two otherwise rival social systems in a new light. The present work examines the ideological monetary background of capitalism and socialism, the monetary conflicts between the two camps in the past and the forms of monetary cooperation in recent years. The author focuses on the socialist side of these issues and offers some ideas for further improvement in this cooperation. JEL: E52, P10, P20, F33

description: Le mode de production fermier, au sens de la production fermiere "indépendante", constitue, de fait, un cadre de contrainte pour la production, qui s'imprime dans les différentes caractéristiques du produit, (et lui confère des caractéristiques spécifiques) pour le consommateur. Le programme "Agro-alimentaire paysan Européen : Caractéristiques spécifiques des produits fermiers", financé par l'Union Européenne (Programme FAIR), a permis d'étudier en détail 14 types de produits fermiers, et leurs équivalents artisanaux et industriels, dans 7 pays européens. On peut parler d'une "typicité fermière", basée sur un mode de production, mais pas forcément sur les particularités d'un terroir. L'étude montre que le consommateur reconnart cette typicité fermière, dans le gout particulier du produit, qu'il apprend à aimer, autant que dans le style particulier de la communication dont l'agriculteur accompagne, consciemment ou inconsciemment, la vente de son produit.

Experimentation and modeling of hot pressing behaviour of veneer-based composites
Creators: name: Wang, Brad Jianhe
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: To understand the unique hot pressing behaviour of veneer-based composites, the key objectives of this research were to: (1) characterize air permeabilities of veneers and gluelines; (2) examine fundamentals of veneer contacts for bonding; (3) explore mechanics of veneer compression; and (4) develop the first hot pressing simulation model to predict heat and mass transfer and panel densification in veneer-based composites. To determine the mechanism of heat transfer, transverse air permeabilities of aspen (Populus tremuloides) veneers, phenol formaldehyde (PF) gluelines and aspen plywood/strandboard were first investigated. The laminate permeability theory was adopted to determine the relative contribution of the veneers and gluelines to panel permeability. A concept of effective porosity was also proposed based on the classic Carman-Kozeny theory to explain the difference in panel permeability and resulting hot pressing behaviour. It was concluded that veneer compression rather than glueline curing serves as the main barrier to gas and moisture movement, resulting in a negligible rate of transverse heat convection during hot pressing. By examining veneer compression behaviour under various temperature and moisture content (MC) conditions, a revised wood transverse compression theory was proposed to include the first stage of "progressive contact" and define true yield displacement, and a novel method was developed for assessing veneer surface roughness/quality on an area basis. Through analyses of veneer contact area (glue coverage) under changing loads, the minimum compression required for achieving adequate veneer-to-veneer contacts was determined. Furthermore, the Greenwood and Tripp's contact theory was modified to explain how veneer surface roughness and compression affect panel bonding contacts. This led to the establishment of an optimum panel densification target for performance plywood/LVL products and shed a light on how to help prevent panel delamination. Finally, the revised compression theory was applied to characterize veneer compressive stress-strain relationship, creep and springback behaviour during hot pressing. By introducing a concept of wood-glue mix layers and applying theories of heat and mass transfer and solid mechanics, a one-dimensional hot pressing model was successfully developed and validated. The model can predict the changes of temperature, MC, gas pressure and vertical density profile during hot pressing. The outcome of this research provides insight into the plywood/LVL hot pressing processes.
Export instability and development: a review of some recent findings
Creators: name: STEIN, L.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review

Subjects: subject: Export instability, development, causes, effects
subject: F49, O11, O19

description: Over the last two decades increasing attention has been placed on the occurrence and consequences of export instability. Thus far, however, research on this subject has produced diverse results. Disagreement has ranged from the choice of appropriate index, the relative incidence of export instability between advanced and developing countries, the causes of instability and finally its general economic effect. The present work summarises and takes stock of the views of professional economists to see, for example, whether proposals fro commodity price stabilisation agreements can be justified on pure economic criteria.

Schwinger Pair Production and the Extended Uncertainty Principle: Can Heuristic Derivations Be Trusted?
Creators: name: Ong, Yen Chin

description: The rate of Schwinger pair production due to an external electric field can be derived heuristically from the uncertainty principle. In the presence of a cosmological constant, it has been argued in the literature that the uncertainty principle receives a correction due to the background curvature, which is known as the "extended uncertainty principle" (EUP). We show that EUP does indeed lead to the correct result for Schwinger pair production rate in anti-de Sitter spacetime (the case for de Sitter spacetime is similar), provided that the EUP correction term is negative (positive for the de Sitter case). We compare the results with previous works in the EUP literature, which are not all consistent. Our result further highlights an important issue in the literature of generalizations of the uncertainty principle: how much can heuristic derivations be trusted?

A revisit to interest rates outside the organized money markets of underdeveloped countries
Creators: name: TUN WAI, U.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Interest rates, money markets, less developed countries, credit
subject: E43, E51

description: In the November 1957 issue of Staff Papers, a study was performed on interest rates outside the organised money markets of underdeveloped countries. The present work updates the information contained in that study and re-examines its conclusions. The author looks at the size of unorganised money markets, sources of credit, demand for funds, non-institutional rates of interest, links between unorganised and organised money markets and causes of high interest rates.

title: An empirical analysis of urbanization and energy consumption in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation Countries
Creators: name: Dev, Tithy
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2021

description: Urbanization has posed some tremendous challenges which are related to environmental stresses through increased energy consumption. These challenges have drawn attention to the need to implement urbanization with sustainable energy consumption globally. The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation is considered in the study during the period of 1975-2014 with time series data. The present study aims to investigate how urbanization can affect energy use and identify the urbanizing factors that cause energy consumption in this region. The data are analyzed by using simple statistics and econometric techniques, such as the ordinary least squares (OLS) method for country level, and fully modified least squares and Granger causality for this group of countries. The study has found that all urbanizing variables significantly affect energy consumption with different levels in different countries, as shown by the OLS method. Similarly, the results of the fully modified least squares (FMOLS) method indicate that all the variables are statistically significant at 1% level of significance except urban population growth, although the effects vary among variables. Moreover, there are three long-run causalities running from the gross domestic product to energy consumption, and from energy consumption to gross domestic product, and to the industrial share in the gross domestic product. Besides, in the short run, the causality the exercise explored is a bidirectional causality between the gross domestic product and the energy consumption, the gross domestic product and the industrial share in the gross domestic product, the energy consumption and the service share in the gross domestic product, the energy consumption and urban population. Green technology and energy efficiency technologies to use in the industries, encourage using public transportation, some restrictions on household-level energy use, and education for awareness about energy use and its consequences on the environment, sustainable energy and urbanization are potential policy recommendations.

description: Dans le domaine de l'économie du vin, les relations verticales entre vignoble et négoce varient selon les régions de production. Elles se distinguent par les types d'arbitrage possibles à chaque niveau de la filière, par la répartition des actifs matériels et immatériels et par les caractéristiques des marchés visés par les divers opérateurs. Seton les cas, l'organisation des relations verticales peut générer des inefficacités pour certains types d'opérateurs, pour la filière dans son ensemble ou pour le consommateur. En présentant les phénomènes observés en Champagne, Pays de Loire et Bourgogne, nous proposons une argumentation théorique permettant de répondre à ces inefficacités.
Credit substitution and the euro-currency market
Creators: name: MCCLAM, W.D.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Inflation, Euro-currency market, credit
subject: E31, E44, E51

description: The inflationary implications of the Euro-currency market continue to be a source of contention and misunderstanding. One view on the matter is that the market, having some potential for net credit creation, adds dangerously to the rate of world credit expansion. As a challenge to this view, there are others who caution that the case for joint action is not yet well-founded. The author sides with the latter argument, arguing that considerable evidence can be found to show that the growth of the Euro-currency market represents to a significant extent a substitution for, rather than an addition to, credit expansion in other forms. Euro-currency credits appear to be substitutes for four alternative types of accommodation: domestic credit to non-banks, domestic “monetary base” creation, foreign money markets and forward exchange markets.

Mechanico-discretionary tools for parity changes
Creators: name: SACCHETTI, U.
Publisher: name: PSL Quarterly Review
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Exchange rate, adjustments, international monetary system, liquidity
subject: E42, F33

description: The paper is concerned primarily with the exchange rate, and more specifically with technical criteria for exchange rate adjustments in an international monetary system. Because of the interdependence, however, reference is also made to the domestic adjustment process and the availability of international liquidity. The author assesses the suitability, chiefly from an operational point of view, of clearly defined indicators to serve as guidelines for exchange rate adjustments. The main contention is that indicators serving such a purpose can technically be constructed, but that there are limitations as to their reliability. For this reason, and for the inevitable infringement of national sovereignty which is involved, the role of discretion and judgement, both at the national and international level, is bound to remain important.
