Experimental Research on Glass- Polycarbonate Beams
Creators: name: Weller, B.
name: Härth, K.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: A research project at the Institute of Building Construction explores composite beams made of glass and transparent polycarbonate. These beams consist of one inner polycarbonate sheet and two outer panes of glass and are bonded by a transparent adhesive. Several experimental tests demonstrated that the glasspolycarbonate beams can behave in a ductile manner when the load-bearing capacity is exceeded. Furthermore, a high residual load-bearing capacity after complete glass-breakage exists. On the contrary, typical laminated glass beams fail in cases of complete glass breakage despite the PVB-foil used. Tests with the composite beams made of glass and polycarbonate were carried out with varying cross-sections, glass types and loadings. Moreover, the different elongations due to temperature were investigated in climate tests.

 Material Examined. Bahamas: Crooked Island, 1.0 mi. E of Colonel Hill 20.ix.1988 (at UV) L. D. Miller and M. Simon, Acc. No. 1988-55 (1 male, slide DM 717) [MGCL].
 Diagnosis. Wingspan 14.0–21.0 mm. Adults have a cream colored body and forewing with a contrasting pale gray hindwing. The forewing is marked with a distinct small dark brown spot at the cleft base and a few dark scales at the terminus of veins R 4, R 5, M 3, Cu 1, and Cu 2. Similar stem boring species known from the Nearctic Region, such as the goldenrod borer, H. kellicottii Fish, have more beige forewings but all are best confirmed with characters of the genitalia. In H. chlorias, the males have a curved saccular process (Fig. 3) that is not finely drawn to a thread-like terminus as in H. kellicottii.
 Life History. In Florida, larvae of this species are stem borer in three species of Asteraceae: Croptilon divaricatum (Nutt.) Raf., Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronquist, and Heterotheca subaxillaris (Lam.) Britton & Rusby. Potential hosts occurring in the Bahamas are C. canadensis (L.) Cronquist var. pusilla (Nutt.) Cronquist, and C. parva (L.) Cronquist. Larvae are cream to tan colored with pale reddish longitudinal bands. Setae are unmodified, short and sparse except on the anal plate. Along with a fringe of short to long setae, the circular anal plate bears two thorn-like projections. Pupation occurs within the stem. The larvae are fully described and illustrated by Matthews (2006).
 Distribution. This species is previously unknown from the Bahamas and the Neotropical Region. In the Nearctic Region it is primarily found in the southeastern states: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, and South Carolina. The species was described from Colorado and is also recorded from Kansas.
 Comments. While the morphological characters appear consistent, genetic sequencing may clarify the status and relationship of western vs. southeastern populations of this species and related borers of the genus.

description: We performed in-plane magnetodrag measurements on dilute double layer two-dimensional hole systems, at in-plane magnetic fields that suppress the apparent metallic behavior, and to fields well above those required to fully spin polarize the system. When compared to the single layer magnetoresistance, the magnetodrag exhibits exactly the same qualitative behavior. In addition, we have found that the enhancement to the drag from the in-plane field exhibits a strong maximum when both layer densities are matched.

We show that a H^\pm can suppress the branching ratios by 10% \to 15% from the Standard Model prediction, and we emphasize that such contributions should not be overlooked when comparing lattice calculations of f_{D_s} to the values obtained from these decays.

Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: The bending stiffness of insulating glass units can be significantly improved by including an aluminium honeycomb core continuously bonded to both glass panes. This arrangement also offers a number of additional advantages, ranging from an improved post-breakage behaviour to a particular translucent look. This paper provides an overview of the structural, thermal and visual advantages and drawbacks of glass-honeycomb composite panels and also describes its development, testing and fabrication method. Finally, a design method is proposed.

A fundamental plane of black hole activity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine the disc--jet connection in stellar mass and supermassive black holes by investigating the properties of their compact emission in the X-ray and radio bands. We compile a sample of ~100 active galactic nuclei with measured mass, 5 GHz core emission, and 2-10 keV luminosity, together with 8 galactic black holes with a total of ~50 simultaneous observations in the radio and X-ray bands. Using this sample, we study the correlations between the radio (L_{R}) and the X-ray (L_{X}) luminosity and the black hole mass (M). We find that the radio luminosity is correlated with {\em both} M and L_{X}, at a highly significant level. In particular, we show that the sources define a ``fundamental plane'' in the three-dimensional (log L_{R},log L_{X},log M) space, given by log L_{R}=(0.60^{+0.11}_{-0.11}) log L_{X} +(0.78^{+0.11}_{-0.09}) log M + 7.33^{+4.05}_{-4.07}, with a substantial scatter of σ_{R}=0.88. We compare our results to the theoretical relations between radio flux, black hole mass, and accretion rate derived by Heinz and Sunyaev (2003). Such relations depend only on the assumed accretion model and on the observed radio spectral index. Therefore, we are able to show that the X-ray emission from black holes accreting at less than a few per cent of the Eddington rate is unlikely to be produced by radiatively efficient accretion, and is marginally consistent with optically thin synchrotron emission from the jet. On the other hand, models for radiatively inefficient accretion flows seem to agree well with the data.

title: Forecasting GDP Growth Using Artificial Neural Networks
Creators: name: Tkacz, Greg

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1999

description: Financial and monetary variables have long been known to contain useful leading information regarding economic activity. In this paper, the authors wish to determine whether the forecasting performance of such variables can be improved using neural network models. The main findings are that, at the 1-quarter forecasting horizon, neural networks yield no significant forecast improvements. At the 4-quarter horizon, however, the improved forecast accuracy is statistically significant. The root mean squared forecast errors of the best neural network models are about 15 to 19 per cent lower than their linear model counterparts. The improved forecast accuracy may be capturing more fundamental non-linearities between financial variables and real output growth at the longer horizon.
description: Les variables financières et monétaires sont reconnues depuis longtemps comme des indicateurs fiables de l'activité économique future. Dans cette étude, les auteurs tentent de déterminer si le recours à des réseaux neuronaux permet d'améliorer les prévisions réalisées à l'aide de ces variables. Ils constatent qu'à l'horizon d'un trimestre, les réseaux neuronaux ne produisent pas de meilleures prévisions que les modèles linéaires traditionnels. À l'horizon de quatre trimestres toutefois, on observe une amélioration significative des prévisions sur le plan statistique. Les erreurs quadratiques moyennes de prévision des meilleurs modèles neuronaux sont inférieures de 15 à 19 % à celles des modèles linéaires. Cette précision accrue des prévisions pourrait indiquer la présence de relations non linéaires fondamentales entre les variables financières et la croissance de la production réelle à l'horizon d'un an.

title: The Quantity of Money and Monetary Policy
Creators: name: Laidler, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1999

description: The relationships among the quantity theory of money, monetarism and policy regimes based on money-growth and inflation targeting are briefly discussed as a prelude to an exposition of alternative views of money's role in the transmission mechanism of monetary policy. The passive-money view treats the money supply as an endogenous variable that plays no role in that mechanism. In contrast the active-money view, while recognizing money's endogeneity, nevertheless treats it as having causative significance for the behaviour of output and inflation. It is argued that the active view is more plausible, on both theoretical and empirical grounds. It is further suggested that, notwithstanding the effects of institutional change in the Canadian financial system on the stability of relationships involving the quantity of money, the active view implies the desirability of the Bank of Canada's paying more systematic attention than it now does to the behaviour of monetary aggregates, particularly narrow ones, in the design and implementation of monetary policy.
description: Dans cette étude, l'auteur traite brièvement des relations existant entre la théorie quantitative de la monnaie, le monétarisme et les régimes de politique fondés sur la poursuite de cibles en matière d'expansion monétaire et d'inflation, puis il examine différentes hypothèses relatives au rôle de la monnaie dans le mécanisme de transmission de la politique monétaire. Une première école de pensée considère la monnaie comme une variable endogène non causale, c'est-à-dire que l'offre de monnaie ne jouerait qu'un rôle passif dans la transmission des effets de la politique monétaire. Selon une deuxième école, même si la monnaie est déterminée de façon endogène, il y aurait une relation significative de cause à effet entre la monnaie d'une part et le comportement de la production et de l'inflation d'autre part, c'est-à-dire que la monnaie jouerait un rôle actif. L'auteur soutient que les fondements de cette deuxième école sont solides sur les plans tant théorique qu'empirique. Il fait valoir également que, nonobstant l'incidence des changements d'ordre institutionnel apportés au système financier canadien sur la stabilité des liens relatifs à la quantité de monnaie, le rôle causal que jouerait la monnaie implique que la Banque du Canada devrait suivre de façon plus systématique l'évolution des agrégats monétaires – particulièrement les agrégats au sens étroit – lors de l'élaboration et de la mise en oeuvre de la politique monétaire.

High Performance Laminated Glass
Creators: name: Stelzer, I.
Publisher: name: Challenging Glass Conference Proceedings
Year: 2010

description: In this contribution we examine the mechanical behavior of laminated glass and show that improvements in performance may be achieved through the use of a stiff, structural, non-PVB, interlayer. Enhancements in mechanical properties, such as strength, creep, post-glass breakage coupled with enhancements in durability and materials compatibility, are provided with a stiff Ionomere interlayer that extends the performance of laminated glass well beyond the established PVB limits. The use of analysis tools based on finite elements and effective thickness methods is also presented. Such tools allow the designer to optimize the performance of laminated glass and take full advantage of the performance attributes of an Ionomere interlayer. Examples are given of projects where such a structural interlayer provides enabling technology and the most cost-effective, value engineered design solution.

Quantum Measurement of a Coupled Nanomechanical Resonator -- Cooper-Pair Box System

description: We show two effects as a result of considering the second-order correction to the spectrum of a nanomechanical resonator electrostatically coupled to a Cooper-pair box. The spectrum of the Cooper-pair box is modified in a way which depends on the Fock state of the resonator. Similarly, the frequency of the resonator becomes dependent on the state of the Cooper-pair box. We consider whether these frequency shifts could be utilized to prepare the nanomechanical resonator in a Fock state, to perform a quantum non-demolition measurement of the resonator Fock state, and to distinguish the phase states of the Cooper-pair box.

title: Uncovering Inflation Expectations and Risk Premiums From Internationally Integrated Financial Markets
Creators: name: Fung, Ben
name: Mitnick, Scott
name: Remolona, Eli
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1999

description: Theory and empirical evidence suggest that the term structure of interest rates reflects risk premiums as well as market expectations about future inflation and real interest rates. We propose an approach to extracting such premiums and expectations by exploiting both the comovements among interest rates across the yield curve and between two countries, Canada and the United States. This approach involves estimating a multi-factor affine-yield model jointly for the two countries, in which we identify a common factor as representing real rate expectations and two other factors as representing two separate inflation expectations for the two countries. To estimate the model, we apply a Kalman filter to monthly data on zero-coupon bond yields for 2-year, 5-year and 10-year maturities as well as inflation. Our estimates suggest that Canadian inflation expectations were slow to adjust to a new inflation-targeting regime. We also find inflation-risk premiums that vary between 10 and 90 basis points in the two countries, with U.S. bonds commanding smaller premiums.
description: Les études théoriques et empiriques donnent à penser que la structure à terme des taux d'intérêt reflète tant les primes de risque que les attentes du marché à l'égard de l'évolution future de l'inflation et des taux d'intérêt réels. Pour extraire l'information relative à ces primes et à ces attentes, les auteurs proposent d'exploiter à la fois les covariations des taux d'intérêt le long de la courbe de rendement et leurs covariations entre deux pays, soit le Canada et les États-Unis. Cette méthode nécessite l'estimation d'un modèle affine de taux de rendement à plusieurs facteurs et à deux pays, dans lequel interviennent un facteur commun, qui représente les attentes en matière de taux d'intérêt réels dans les deux pays, et deux autres facteurs reflétant des attentes d'inflation distinctes, propres à chacun des pays. Pour estimer le modèle, les auteurs appliquent un filtre de Kalman aux données mensuelles relatives à l'inflation et aux rendements d'obligations coupon zéro échéant dans deux, cinq et dix ans. D'après les estimations des auteurs, les attentes relatives à l'inflation ont été lentes au Canada à s'ajuster à un nouveau régime axé sur la poursuite de cibles de maîtrise de l'inflation. Les auteurs constatent également que les primes liées au risque d'inflation oscillent entre 10 et 70 points de base dans les deux pays, mais qu'elles sont plus faibles dans le cas des obligations américaines.

description: The compact simply connected Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces were classified by J.A. Jim{é}nez according to type of the Lie algebras. As homogeneous manifolds, these spaces are of the form $G/H$, where $G$ is a connected compact simple Lie group with an automorphism $\tildeγ$ of order four on $G$ and $H$ is a fixed points subgroup $G^γ$ of $G$. According to the classification by J.A. Jim{é}nez, there exist seven compact simply connected Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces $ G/H $ in the case where $ G $ is of type $ E_8 $. In the present article, %as Part II continuing from Part I, for the connected compact %exceptional Lie group $E_8$, we give the explicit form of automorphisms $\tilde{w}_{{}_4} \tilde{\upsilon}_{{}_4}$ and $\tildeμ_{{}_4}$ of order four on $E_8$ induced by the $C$-linear transformations $w_{{}_4}, \upsilon_{{}_4}$ and $μ_{{}_4}$ of the 248-dimensional vector space ${\mathfrak{e}_8}^{C}$, respectively. Further, we determine the structure of these fixed points subgroups $(E_8)^{w_{{}_4}}, (E_8)^{{}_{\upsilon_{{}_4}}}$ and $(E_8)^{{} _{μ_{{}_4}}}$ of $ E_8 $. These amount to the global realizations of three spaces among seven Riemannian 4-symmetric spaces $ G/H $ above corresponding to the Lie algebras $ \mathfrak{h}=i\bm{R} \oplus \mathfrak{su}(8), i\bm{R} \oplus \mathfrak{e}_7$ and $\mathfrak{h}= \mathfrak{su}(2) \oplus \mathfrak{su}(8)$, where $ \mathfrak{h}={\rm Lie}(H) $.

title: The Exchange Rate Regime and Canada's Monetary Order
Creators: name: Laidler, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 1999

description: It is a mistake to debate the merits of alternative exchange rate regimes for Canada independently of other features of the monetary order. A coherent order requires a well-defined goal for monetary policy, one that the authorities are capable of achieving, and that anchors private sector expectations. For it to be liberal, the relevant authorities should be accountable to the electorate for their performance. These criteria are applied in comparing the merits of: (i) Canada's current monetary order, based on inflation targets and a flexible exchange rate; (ii) a North American monetary union; (iii) a Canadian currency board; (iv) a legislatively fixed exchange rate; and (v) an adjustably pegged exchange rate. The paper concludes that the current order is well-conceived because cross-border labour mobility is limited, Canadian money wages and prices are sticky, and the real exchange rate between Canada and the United States is subject to real shocks. Among the fixed exchange rate options, all of which are inferior to current arrangements, a full monetary union is judged the most economically viable, though politically illiberal, while a pegged rate seems to provide an untrustworthy basis for a coherent monetary order.
description: On aurait tort d'examiner les mérites respectifs, pour le Canada, de différents régimes de change sans égard aux autres aspects du régime monétaire. Pour qu'un régime monétaire soit cohérent, il doit répondre à trois critères : i) la banque centrale doit avoir un objectif bien défini en matière de politique monétaire; ii) elle doit être en mesure de le réaliser; iii) cet objectif doit servir de point d'ancrage aux attentes du secteur privé. En outre, pour que ce régime soit « libéral », un dernier critère doit être respecté : les autorités compétentes doivent répondre devant l'électorat de la façon dont elles s'acquittent de leurs fonctions. L'auteur se fonde sur ces quatre critères pour évaluer les mérites respectifs des régimes monétaires suivants : i) le régime actuellement en place au Canada, qui repose sur la poursuite de cibles en matière d'inflation et un taux de change flottant; ii) une union monétaire à l'échelle de l'Amérique du Nord; iii) l'établissement au Canada d'une caisse d'émission; iv) un taux de change fixé par voie législative; v) un taux de change fixe mais ajustable. Il conclut que le régime actuel est bien adapté au contexte canadien, en raison de la faible mobilité de la main-d'oeuvre entre notre pays et les États-Unis, de la rigidité des prix et des salaires nominaux au Canada et du fait que le taux de change réel Canada-États-Unis est soumis à des chocs réels. Parmi les régimes de changes fixes possibles, tous jugés inférieurs au régime actuel, l'union monétaire intégrale est considérée comme la plus viable du point de vue économique, mais moins « libérale » sur le plan politique; quant au taux de change fixe mais ajustable, il ne semble pas à même de fournir une assise solide à un régime monétaire cohérent.

The results are compared to magnetic measurements which provide the evolution of the ferromagnetic fraction. These results show that the growth of the ferromagnetic phase corresponds to an increase of the thickness of the ferromagnetic ''cabbage'' sheets.

Three types of changes in economic behaviour are considered, changes that are motivated by developments in monetary and fiscal policy in the 1990s: changes in monetary policy credibility, changes in the slope of the Phillips curve, and changes in the degree of income stabilization from automatic fiscal transfers. Analysis is conducted using stochastic simulations of a model of the Canadian economy. Two questions are posed: First, what are the implications of these types of changes in economic behaviour for the stochastic properties of the economy? Second, how are efficient inflation-forecast–based rules affected by these changes in behaviour? Perhaps the most interesting results are with respect to credibility. When monetary credibility increases, the central bank can attain more stable output and inflation. But increasing credibility is a double-edged sword. To reap its benefits, the central bank must, in general, adjust its reaction function. If it does not, volatility can increase.
description: Les auteurs examinent les conséquences des changements de comportement des agents économiques pour l'application de règles monétaires simples reposant sur la prévision de l'inflation, du genre de celles actuellement utilisées par deux banques centrales ayant établi des cibles en matière d'inflation. Ils analysent trois types de changement de comportement causés par l'évolution des politiques monétaire et budgétaire depuis le début des années 1990 : les changements de crédibilité de la politique monétaire, les variations de la pente de la courbe de Phillips et les modifications du degré de stabilisation automatique des revenus assuré par les paiements de transfert et les rentrées fiscales. L'analyse des auteurs se fonde sur l'exécution de simulations stochastiques au moyen d'un modèle de l'économie canadienne. Deux questions sont abordées. Premièrement, quelles sont les incidences de ces changements de comportement sur les propriétés stochastiques de l'économie? Deuxièmement, comment ces changements influent-ils sur une règle efficace de politique monétaire basée sur la prévision de l'inflation? Les résultats les plus intéressants de l'étude se situent probablement au chapitre de la crédibilité. Lorsque la crédibilité de la politique monétaire s'accroît, la banque centrale réussit mieux à atténuer les variations de la production et de l'inflation. Cependant, il s'agit là d'une arme à double tranchant. Pour jouir des avantages liés à une plus grande crédibilité, la banque centrale doit généralement modifier sa fonction de réaction; sinon, la volatilité peut augmenter au lieu de diminuer.

description: Floquet engineering is one of the most vigorous fields in periodically driven (Floquet) systems, with which we can control phases of matter usually by high-frequency drives. In this paper, with Floquet engineering by a combination of high-frequency drives and resonant drives, we propose a way to realize nontrivial topological phases protected by a $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry only in the presence of a $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry, using a robust emergent $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry induced by the resonant drives. Moreover, the symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases are switchable between nontrivial and trivial phases only by the direction of a static transverse field, and even perturbations on the resonant drive can be utilized to realize richer SPT phases. We also discuss the real-time dynamics of the model, and find that which topological phases the system lies in can be distinguished by a period doubling of a nonlocal order parameter, as with discrete time crystals. A realization or a control of nontrivial SPT phases without the required symmetries by resonant drives, proposed in this paper, would shed a new light on the observation of topological phenomena in nonequilibrium setups.

title: Measuring Potential Output within a State-Space Framework
Creators: name: Kichian, Maral

description: In this paper we measure potential output (and consequently the output gap) using state-space models. Given that the estimated output gap is used as an indicator to measure the extent of inflationary pressures in the economy, we evaluate the use of such models for the implementation of monetary policy. Our starting point is the Gerlach and Smets (1997) unobserved-components model, which they applied to the G7 countries. After subjecting this model to various diagnostic tests, we modify certain assumptions in it to reflect specific aspects of the Canadian economy. In particular, we focus on the specification of the permanent component of output and of inflation expectations, the issue of whether to use core or total inflation in the model, and the integration of appropriate supply shocks in the Phillips curve. In each case, the model is subjected to diagnostic tests and is examined for its out-of-sample forecasting performance. With the various modifications, we find that misspecification is somewhat alleviated and out-of-sample forecast performance is improved. Based on this performance, we feel that state-space models of the output gap can be quite useful in the formulation of monetary policy.
description: Comme l'écart de production estimatif est un indicateur de l'intensité des pressions inflationnistes au sein de l'économie, l'auteure de l'étude cherche à évaluer si le recours aux modèles espace d'états pour estimer la production potentielle et, partant, l'écart de production peut être d'une quelconque utilité dans la mise en oeuvre de la politique monétaire. Le point de départ de son analyse est le modèle à composantes non observées que Gerlach et Smets (1997) appliquent aux pays du Groupe des Sept. Après avoir soumis le modèle à plusieurs tests de diagnostic, l'auteure modifie certaines des hypothèses initiales pour tenir compte d'aspects précis de l'économie canadienne. Elle s'attache en particulier à la spécification de la composante permanente de la production et des attentes relatives à l'inflation, à la question du choix de l'indice des prix servant à mesurer l'inflation (IPC global ou IPC hors alimentation, énergie et effet des impôts indirects) et à l'intégration de chocs d'offre appropriés à la courbe de Phillips. Dans chacun des cas, le modèle est soumis à un test de diagnostic et la qualité de ses prévisions en dehors de la période d'estimation est examinée. Les diverses modifications apportées au modèle permettent d'améliorer quelque peu la spécification de ce dernier ainsi que sa capacité de prévision en dehors de la période d'estimation. L'auteure conclut, à la lumière de ces résultats, que le recours aux modèles espace d'états pour estimer l'écart de production peut s'avérer très utile dans la formulation de la politique monétaire.

title: The Employment Costs of Downward Nominal-Wage Rigidity
Creators: name: Farès, Jean

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2000

description: In this paper, we use firm-level wage and employment data to address whether there is evidence of downward nominal-wage rigidity, and whether that rigidity is associated with a reduction in employment. We describe an estimation bias that can result when estimating reduced-form wage and employment equations and suggest a way of controlling for that bias. The adjusted point estimates suggest that nominal-wage rigidity is associated with wages being lower than would have been in the absence of rigidity, rather than higher. Our estimates also suggest that the rigidity tends to be associated with higher rather than lower employment. This conclusion is tempered by the low statistical significance of the estimated coefficients, but our results do suggest the importance of controlling for the bias we identify.
description: Les auteurs ont recours à des données microéconomiques se rapportant aux salaires et à l'emploi pour tenter d'établir si les salaires nominaux sont rigides à la baisse et si cette rigidité se traduit par une réduction de l'emploi. Ils décrivent le biais lié à l'estimation d'équations de forme réduite relatives au salaire et à l'emploi et proposent une façon d'en tenir compte. Une fois le biais corrigé, les estimations ponctuelles qu'ils obtiennent donnent à penser que la rigidité des salaires nominaux s'accompagne d'un niveau plus faible, et non plus élevé, des salaires et qu'elle se traduit par une augmentation au lieu d'une diminution de l'emploi. La validité de cette conclusion est tempérée par le faible degré de signification statistique des coefficients estimés; il reste que les résultats obtenus font ressortir qu'il importe de tenir compte du biais décelé par les auteurs.
title: Probing Potential Output: Monetary Policy, Credibility, and Optimal Learning under Uncertainty
Creators: name: Yetman, James
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada

description: The effective conduct of monetary policy is complicated by uncertainty about the level of potential output, and thus about the size of the monetary policy response that would be sufficient to achieve the targeted inflation rate. One possible response to such uncertainty is for the monetary authority to "probe," interpreted here as actively using its policy response to learn about the level of potential output.

Monetary authorities have put significant emphasis in recent years on attaining credibility for their policy objectives. These steps have anchored inflation expectations to the target of the monetary authority more firmly. I consider a simple calibrated model in the Canadian context and examine the relationship between credibility and optimal probing.

I find that, for plausible parameter values, the optimal amount of probing is small and varies little with credibility. Only for low levels of credibility or unrealistically large levels of uncertainty or volatility does the optimal policy with probing diverge significantly from a policy that ignores learning. Even then, the optimal amount of probing diminishes as credibility rises.
description: L'incertitude qui entoure le niveau de la production potentielle entrave l'efficacité de la politique monétaire car elle rend plus difficile la détermination du degré de resserrement nécessaire à la réalisation de la cible d'inflation visée. Face à l'incertitude, les autorités monétaires peuvent choisir de procéder par « tâtonnement », c'est-à-dire en tirant parti de leurs interventions pour se renseigner sur le niveau de la production potentielle.

Depuis quelques années, les autorités monétaires ont déployé beaucoup d'efforts en vue d'établir la crédibilité de leurs objectifs. Elles ont ainsi pu arrimer plus fermement à la cible visée les attentes en matière d'inflation. L'auteur fait appel à un modèle simple, étalonné en fonction des données canadiennes, pour examiner la relation entre la crédibilité et le degré optimal de tâtonnement.

Il constate que, pour des valeurs plausibles des paramètres, le degré optimal de tâtonnement est minime et varie peu selon la crédibilité. Ce n'est que lorsque cette dernière est faible ou que l'incertitude ou la volatilité atteint des niveaux tout à fait irréalistes que la politique optimale avec tâtonnement diffère sensiblement d'une politique qui ne repose pas sur l'apprentissage. Même alors, le degré optimal de tâtonnement s'amenuise à mesure que la crédibilité augmente.

description: Using conformal perturbation theory, we show that for some classes of the one-dimensional quantum liquids that possess the Luttinger liquid fixed point in the low energy limit, the Drude weight at finite temperatures is non-vanishing, even when the system is {\it non-integrable} and the total current is not conserved. We also obtain the asymptotically exact low-temperature formula of the Drude weight for Heisenberg XXZ spin chains, which agrees quite well with recent numerical data.

title: Identifying Policy-makers' Objectives: An Application to the Bank of Canada
Creators: name: Rowe, Nicholas
name: Yetman, James
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2000

description: In this paper, we develop a new way to test hypotheses about policy-makers' targets, and we implement that test for Canadian monetary policy. If, for example, the Bank of Canada is using interest rates to target an inflation rate of 2 per cent and there is an 8-quarter lag in the effect of the interest rate on inflation, then deviations of inflation from 2 per cent should be unforecastable and uncorrelated with any information in the Bank of Canada's information set lagged by 8 quarters. This would imply that empirical causality tests of monetary policy on inflation could be very misleading. Our test indicates that there was indeed a major change in the Bank of Canada's objectives about the time when formal inflation targets were announced.
description: Les auteurs proposent une nouvelle façon de tester les hypothèses formulées au sujet des cibles visées par les autorités monétaires et appliquent leur test au cas canadien. Si, par exemple, l'instrument d'intervention de la Banque du Canada est le taux d'intérêt, que celle-ci vise un taux d'inflation de 2 % et que le taux d'intérêt met huit trimestres à agir sur le taux d'inflation, les écarts de l'inflation observée par rapport à la cible devraient être imprévisibles et ne pas être corrélés avec l'information, retardée de huit trimestres, à la disposition des autorités monétaires. Cette façon de procéder implique que l'on ne pourrait se fier aux tests empiriques servant à vérifier l'effet de causalité de la politique monétaire sur l'inflation. Selon les résultats du test effectué par les auteurs, un changement important serait en effet survenu dans les objectifs de la Banque du Canada à peu près au moment où cette dernière a annoncé l'établissement de cibles explicites en matière d'inflation.
