title: Are Bygones not Bygones? Modeling Price Level Targeting with an Escape Clause and Lessons from the Gold Standard
Creators: name: Masson, Paul
name: Shukayev, Malik
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2008

description: Like the gold standard, price level targeting (PT) involves not letting past deviations of inflation be bygones; both regimes return the price level (or price of gold) to its target. The experience of suspension of the gold standard in World War I, resumption in the 1920s (for some countries at a different parity), and final abandonment is reviewed. It suggests that PT would likely operate with an escape clause that allowed rebasing of the price target in the face of large output declines. Using a calibrated general equilibrium model, we show that such an escape clause can produce multiple equilibria. For some parameterizations, there is a low credibility equilibrium (with high expectation of a reset) associated with high output volatility and frequent resets. These problems reduce the expectational advantage of PT over inflation targeting.
description: Tout comme on le faisait avec le prix de l'or sous le régime de l'étalon-or, la poursuite d'une cible de niveau des prix implique que l'on corrige les déviations passées en ramenant le niveau des prix à la cible. La suspension de l'étalon-or durant la Première Guerre mondiale, son rétablissement dans les années 1920 (sur la base d'une nouvelle parité pour certains pays) et son abandon définitif donnent à penser qu'un régime prenant pour cible le niveau des prix comporterait probablement une clause dérogatoire autorisant une redéfinition de la cible en cas de baisse marquée de la production. Au moyen d'un modèle d'équilibre général étalonné, les auteurs montrent qu'une telle clause peut donner lieu à de multiples équilibres. Dans certains paramétrages, l'un des équilibres obtenus se caractérise par une politique monétaire peu crédible (on s'attend fortement à ce que la cible soit révisée), une volatilité élevée de la production et des révisions fréquentes de la cible. La supériorité de ce type de régime sur un régime de cibles d'inflation se trouve ainsi réduite, car elle est liée au rôle joué par les attentes.

description: Low ice adhesion surfaces are a promising anti-icing strategy. However, reported ice adhesion strengths cannot be directly compared between research groups. This study compares results obtained from testing the ice adhesion strength on the same surface at two different laboratories, testing two different types of ice with different ice adhesion test methods at temperatures of $-10^o$C and $-18^o$C. One laboratory uses the centrifuge adhesion test and tests precipitation ice and bulk water ice, while the other laboratory uses a vertical shear test and tests only bulk water ice. The surfaces tested were bare aluminum and a commercial icephobic coating, with all samples prepared in the same manner. The results showed comparability in the general trends, surprisingly, with the greatest differences for bare aluminum surfaces at temperature $-10^o$C. For bulk water ice, the vertical shear test resulted in systematically higher ice adhesion strength than the centrifugal adhesion test. The standard deviation depends on the surface type and seems to scale with the absolute value of the ice adhesion strength. The experiments capture the overall trends in which the ice adhesion strength surprisingly decreases from $-10^o$C to $-18^o$C for aluminum and is almost independent of temperature for a commercial icephobic coating. In addition, the study captures similar trends in the effect of ice type on ice adhesion strength as previously reported and substantiates that ice formation is a key parameter for ice adhesion mechanisms.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The intergalactic gas in groups and clusters of galaxies bears the indelible stamp of galaxy formation. We present a comparison between observations and simple theoretical models indicating that radiative cooling governs the entropy scale that sets the core radius of the intracluster medium. Entropy measured at the radius 0.1 r_200 scales as T^2/3, in accord with cooling-threshold models for the regulation of core entropy. Cooling of baryons to form galaxies is likely to lead to feedback, and the signature of feedback may appear farther out in the cluster. Entropy measured at the radius r_500 in all but the most massive clusters exceeds the amount that can be generated by hierarchical accretion. However, feedback that smoothes the density distribution of accreting baryons, perhaps via galactic winds, can boost entropy production at the accretion shock by a factor ~ 2-4. An initial comparison of entropy at r_500 to smooth accretion models shows that smooth accretion is a plausible explanation for this excess entropy and suggests that baryon accretion onto groups was smoother than baryon accretion onto clusters.

description: Brazil is at the centre of the debates on the world analysis of agricultural and agro-food dynamics thanks to its performance in terms of competitiveness on the international markets, but also because of the risks run by the environment as a result of the development of its intensive model of agricultural production. Its weight considerably intensified in the commercial talks held in the World Trade Organization (WTO) context as its share in the world production and trade increased. The continuing expansion of its agricultural frontiers and the modernization of its agriculture helped Brazil to increase its agricultural and agro-food exports rapidly, especially soybean, poultry and pork meat exports on top of more traditional ones like sugar or coffee. At the same time, it became a major actor in all the talks regarding environmental protection, especially as far as Amazonia is concerned. The case of the accelerated development of soybean crops illustrates quite well the challenges Brazil has to face. Is the expansion of the “soybean complex” in the Northern parts of the country a chance or a threat?
Measurement of charged current triple gauge boson couplings using W pairs at LEP

description: Triple gauge boson couplings are measured from W-pair and single photon events recorded by the OPAL detector at LEP at center-of-mass energies between 183 - 209 GeV with a total integrated luminosity of 680 inverse picobarns. Only CP-conserving couplings are considered and SU(2)xU(1) relations between the WWZ and the WWgamma couolings are used, resulting in four independent couplings. Each coupling is determined in a separate fit, assuming the other couplings to take their Standard Model values. Fits are also done allowing some of the couplings to vary simultaneously. The results are compared with the Standard Model predictions.

title: Macroeconomic Determinants of the Term Structure of Corporate Spreads
Creators: name: Yang, Jun
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2008

description: We investigate the macroeconomic determinants of corporate spreads using a no-arbitrage technique. Structural shocks are identified by a New-Keynesian model. Treasury bonds are priced in an affine model with time-varying risk premia. Corporate bonds are priced in a reduced-form credit risk model where default risk depends on macroeconomic state variables. Using U.S. data, we find that the monetary policy shock contributes to more than 50% the corporate spread variations at different forecasting horizons. Its contribution, in general, declines with credit classes. In contrast, the aggregate supply and demand shocks contribute more to the spread variations in low credit classes than in high credit classes. In addition, they in general contribute more for longer forecasting horizons.
description: L'auteur étudie les déterminants macroéconomiques des écarts de taux sur les titres de sociétés en l'absence de possibilités d'arbitrage. Il fait appel à un nouveau modèle keynésien pour identifier les chocs structurels. Les prix des obligations du Trésor sont établis au moyen d'un modèle affine à primes de risque variables dans le temps, et ceux des obligations de sociétés, à l'aide d'un modèle d'évaluation du risque de crédit sous forme réduite où le risque de défaillance dépend de variables d'état macroéconomiques. À partir de données américaines, l'auteur montre que le choc de politique monétaire explique plus de 50 % des fluctuations des écarts de taux aux différents horizons de prévision. Son rôle tend à diminuer avec la notation de l'émetteur. À l'inverse, les chocs d'offre et de demande globales contribuent davantage aux mouvements des écarts pour les notations inférieures que pour les supérieures et, en règle générale, ils rendent compte d'une part plus importante de ces variations aux horizons éloignés.

title: Adopting Price-Level Targeting under Imperfect Credibility

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2008

description: Authors' note: After completing this working paper, we realized a computer coding error, which led to an overstatement of transition costs due to imperfect credibility. The corrected results show that it takes at least 10 quarters of low credibility (as opposed to 2 quarters in the old version) for a policy change from inflation targeting to price-level targeting to be welfare reducing. The revised version of this paper with corrected transition costs is forthcoming as a Bank of Canada Working Paper.

This paper measures the welfare gains of switching from inflation-targeting to price-level targeting under imperfect credibility. Vestin (2006) shows that when the monetary authority cannot commit to future policy, price-level targeting yields higher welfare than inflation targeting. We revisit this issue by introducing imperfect credibility, which is modeled as gradual adjustment of the private sector's beliefs about the policy change. We find that gains from switching to pricelevel targeting, if any, are small.
description: Note des auteurs : Après la rédaction de ce document de travail, nous avons relevé une erreur de programmation, qui a entraîné une surestimation des coûts de transition attribuables à la crédibilité imparfaite. Les résultats rectifiés montrent qu'en contexte de faible crédibilité, un délai minimal de dix trimestres (au lieu des deux trimestres de la version précédente) est nécessaire avant que l'abandon d'une cible d'inflation au profit d'une cible fondée sur le niveau des prix provoque une perte de bien être. La nouvelle version de cette étude, contenant les coûts de transition corrigés, paraîtra dans un document de travail de la Banque du Canada.

Les auteurs mesurent les gains de bien-être attendus de l'abandon d'une cible d'inflation au profit d'une cible fondée sur le niveau des prix en contexte de crédibilité imparfaite. Selon Vestin (2006), la poursuite d'une cible de niveau des prix permet d'améliorer le bien-être lorsque l'autorité monétaire ne peut s'engager au sujet de sa politique future. Les auteurs réexaminent la question en posant l'hypothèse d'une crédibilité imparfaite, modélisée sous la forme d'une adaptation progressive des croyances du secteur privé à l'adoption d'une cible de niveau des prix. Si gains il y a, concluent-ils, ceux-ci sont modestes.

description: The present paper is focused on the analysis of the one-dimensional relativistic gas dynamics equations. The studied equations are considered in Lagrangian description, making it possible to find a Lagrangian such that the relativistic gas dynamics equations can be rewritten in a variational form. Complete group analysis of the Euler-Lagrange equation is performed. The symmetries found are used to derive conservation laws in Lagrangian variables by means of Noether's theorem. The analogs of the newly found conservation laws in Eulerian coordinates are presented as well.

title: Non-Linearities, Model Uncertainty, and Macro Stress Testing
Creators: name: Misina, Miroslav
name: Tessier, David
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2008

description: A distinguishing feature of macro stress testing exercises is the use of macroeconomic models in scenario design and implementation. It is widely agreed that scenarios should be based on "rare but plausible" events that have either resulted in vulnerabilities in the past or could do so in the future. This requirement, however, raises a number of difficult statistical and methodological problems. Economic models, as well as the statistical models of the relationships among economic variables, generally focus on capturing the average rather than the extreme behaviour, and frequently rely on the assumption of linearity. In this paper we show that these models are particularly ill-suited for stress-testing as they do not adequately capture past behaviour in extreme events, nor do they generate plausible responses to shocks under stress. Whereas one might argue that the use of these models is still preferable to no having no models, since they at least impose the consistency restrictions on the paths generated under the scenario, failing to deal with a large extent of uncertainty of these paths may lead to results that are non-informative, and potentially misleading. The paper illustrates both of these problems by a series of examples, but our conclusions have broader implications for the types of models that would be useful in these exercises.
description: La conduite de simulations de crise macrofinancière se distingue, entre autres, par l'emploi de modèles macroéconomiques dans la conception et le déroulement des scénarios. Il est généralement admis que ces scénarios doivent illustrer des événements « rares mais plausibles » qui ont déjà causé des vulnérabilités ou pourraient le faire. Cette condition pose toutefois certains problèmes statistiques et méthodologiques épineux. En effet, les modèles économiques, aussi bien que les modèles statistiques formalisant les relations entre les variables économiques, tendent à reproduire des évolutions ordinaires plutôt qu'extrêmes, et sont souvent construits à partir d'une hypothèse de linéarité. Les auteurs montrent que ces modèles sont très mal adaptés à la conduite de simulations de crise, parce qu'ils sont incapables de bien restituer les évolutions passées lors d'événements extrêmes et de produire des réactions crédibles aux chocs générés par les crises. Si d'aucuns estiment que, dans la mesure où ils soumettent au moins les trajectoires scénarisées à un critère de cohérence, de tels modèles valent mieux que rien, il reste que le fait de ne pas tenir compte de l'importante marge d'incertitude qui entoure les prévisions risque de mener à des résultats sans valeur informative, voire trompeurs. Les auteurs illustrent chacun de ces problèmes par une série d'exemples. De façon plus générale, leurs conclusions ont cependant des implications quant aux modèles susceptibles de servir aux simulations étudiées.

description: The economic explanation of the spatial concentration of activities in cities is based in part on the assumption that there is a productivity gain linked to the greatest possibility of exchanging pertinent information face-to-face, without extra cost (especially transport) in places with a high population density. The measurement of these communication externalities, on the one hand, helps evaluate their effective impact on productivity, and on the other hand, understand the possible effects of the information and communication technologies (ICT) in terms of re-dispersion of activities towards rural areas. The indirect effects of the local environment (population size and local share of highly skilled employees) percolating through the intensity of communication represent about 22% of their direct effects, thereby confirming the assumption of agglomeration externality and strongly questioning the possibility of reorganizing activities towards rural areas, if only based on the development of ICT.

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that energy concepts can contribute to the understanding of human travel behaviour. First, the average travel times for different modes of transportation are inversely proportional to the energy consumption rates measured for the respective physical activities. Second, when daily travel-time distributions by different modes of transport such as walking, cycling, bus or car travel are appropriately scaled, they turn out to have a universal functional relationship. This corresponds to a canonical-like energy distribution with exceptions for short trips, which can be theoretically explained. Altogether, this points to a law of constant average energy consumption by the physical activity of daily travelling. Applying these natural laws could help to improve long-term urban and transport planning.

description: Many quantum state preparation methods rely on a combination of dissipative quantum state initialization, followed by unitary evolution to a desired target state. Here we demonstrate the usefulness of quantum measurement as an additional tool for quantum state preparation. Starting from a pure separable multipartite state, a control sequence, which includes rotation, spin squeezing via one-axis twisting, quantum measurement and post-selection, generates a highly entangled multipartite state, which we refer to as Projected Squeezed states (or PS states). Through an optimization method, we then identify parameters required to maximize the overlap fidelity of the PS states with the maximally entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states (or GHZ states). The method leads to an appreciable decrease in state preparation time of GHZ states when compared to preparation through unitary evolution with one-axis twisting only.

Creators: name: Meh, Cesaire

name: Terajima, Yaz
Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2008

description: Since the work of Doepke and Schneider (2006a) and Meh and Terajima (2008), we know that inflation causes major redistribution of wealth – between households and the government, between nationals and foreigners, and between households within the same country. Two types of monetary policy, inflation targeting (IT) and price level targeting (PT), have very different implications for the price level path subsequent to a price-level shock, and consequently, have different redistributional properties which is what we explore in this paper. For Canada, we show that the magnitude of redistributions of an unexpected 1% price-level increase under IT is about three times larger than under PT. Households' and foreigners' wealth losses from a price level increase is matched by the gains of the government. Even though this redistribution is zero-sum, we observe positive effects on GDP due to the wealth loss, the lower value of the debt and its associated fiscal adjustment, and the non-linear effects on work effort of the redistribution of wealth across households. Finally, the direction of the change in the weighted welfare of households depends on the fiscal policy.
description: Depuis les travaux de Doepke et Schneider (2006a) et de Meh et Terajima (2008), on sait que l'inflation entraîne une redistribution notable de la richesse, entre les ménages et l'État, entre les résidents et les non-résidents et entre les ménages d'un même pays. Deux types de politique monétaire – l'une axée sur la poursuite de cibles d'inflation, et l'autre, sur celle de cibles définies en fonction du niveau des prix – ont des répercussions très différentes sur l'évolution du niveau des prix après une variation inattendue de ce dernier, et donc des effets de redistribution dissemblables. Ce sont ces effets qui intéressent les auteurs. Ceux-ci montrent que, au Canada, les effets de redistribution d'une hausse imprévue de 1 % du niveau des prix sont environ trois fois plus élevés si l'on prend pour cible le taux d'inflation plutôt que le niveau des prix. Les pertes des ménages et des non-résidents attribuables à une élévation du niveau des prix sont compensées par les gains de l'État. Même si les pertes et les gains s'annulent, le produit intérieur brut augmente par suite de la baisse de la richesse, du recul de la dette en termes réels et de l'assainissement concomitant des finances publiques ainsi qu'à la faveur des effets non linéaires de la redistribution de la richesse entre les ménages sur l'offre de travail. Enfin, le sens de la variation du bien-être pondéré des ménages dépend de la politique budgétaire.

Productivity Analysis

description: The first years that followed the implementation of the CAP reform of 1992 showed a favourable trend in farming incomes per capita (graph 1) in real terms. Towards 1998, they were followed by a trend reversal coupled with an erosion of incomes. These tendencies were not similar in all the types of farming and, for instance, a better maintenance of incomes was observed in the bovine-meat orientation than in the large-scale field cropping orientations. What are the determining factors of these trends? Are they due to the decrease in product prices? The increases in factors prices? The system of direct compensation payments? The drops in productivity gains? How did these different elements combine in the formation of incomes and why did they not work the same way in the different orientations? This research aims to provide some answers to these questions by analysing the evolution of the prices of products and factors, subsidies and productivity gains between 1990 and 2004, using the accounts per farming orientation prepared by the SCEES (French Central Service of Statistical Inquiries and Studies of the Ministry for Agriculture and Fisheries).

description: Saturn's magnetospheric magnetic field, planetary radio emissions, plasma populations and magnetospheric structure are all known to be modulated at periods close to the assumed rotation period of the planetary interior. These oscillations are readily apparent despite the high degree of axi-symmetry in the internally produced magnetic field of the planet, and have different rotation periods in the northern and southern hemispheres. In this paper we study the spatial structure of (near-) planetary period magnetic field oscillations in Saturn's equatorial magnetosphere. Extending previous analyses of these phenomena, we include all suitable data from the entire Cassini mission during its orbital tour of the planet, so as to be able to quantify both the amplitude and phase of these field oscillations throughout Saturn's equatorial plane, to distances of 30 planetary radii. We study the structure of these field oscillations in view of both independently rotating northern and southern systems, finding spatial variations in both magnetic fields and inferred currents flowing north-south that are common to both systems. With the greatly expanded coverage of the equatorial plane achieved during the latter years of the mission, we are able to present a complete survey of dawn-dusk and day-night asymmetries in the structure of the oscillating fields and currents. We show that the general structure of the rotating currents is simpler than previously reported, and that the relatively enhanced nightside equatorial fields and currents are due in part to related periodic vertical motion of Saturn's magnetotail current sheet.

description: The main-line OH masers around 4 AGB stars have been observed with the NRAO Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA) at 8 epochs over a period of 2.5 years. Using a phase referencing technique, the position of the most compact maser spot of each star was monitored with respect to two extragalactic reference sources. For U Her and W Hya, we observe the most blue-shifted maser spot, while for R Cas and S CrB we only detect a compact red-shifted maser spot. We managed to determine an accurate proper motion and parallax for U Her, R Cas and S CrB, while additional motion of the compact blue-shifted maser of W Hya is shown to possibly be related to the stellar pulsation. The motion and radio position are compared with the stellar trajectory and absolute optical position determined by the Hipparcos satellite. For U Her and W Hya, the most blue-shifted maser is consistent with the amplified stellar image. The new distances are compared with several published P--L relations, and in this respect the VLBI distances seem an improvement upon the Hipparcos distances.

description: We supplement (and critically overview) the existing extensive analysis of antiferromagnetic solution for the Hubbard model with a detailed discussion of two specific features, namely (i) the evolution of the magnetic (Slater) gap (here renormalized by the electronic correlations) into the Mott-Hubbard or atomic gap, and (ii) a rather weak renormalization of the effective mass by the correlations in the half-filled-band case, which contrasts with that for the paramagnetic case. The mass remains strongly enhanced in the non-half-filled-band case. We also stress the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic contributions to the gap. These results are discussed within the slave boson approach in the saddle-point approximation, in which there appears a non-linear staggered molecular field due to the electronic correlations that leads to the appearance of the magnetic gap. They reproduce correctly the ground-state energy in the limit of strong correlations. A brief comparison with the solution in the limit of infinite dimensions and the corresponding situation in the doubly-degenerate-band case with one electron per atom is also made.

title: Human Capital Risk and the Firmsize Wage Premium

description: Why do employed persons in large firms earn more than employed persons in small firms, even after controlling for observable characteristics? Complementary to previous results, this paper proposes a mechanism that gives an answer to this question. In the model, individuals accumulate human capital and are exposed to the risk of losing some of their human capital as they change jobs, voluntarily or involuntarily. The model, calibrated to the United States and Canada, accounts for one-third of the firmsize wage premium. Regarding the earnings gap between Canada and the United States, the model finds that it is solely due to differences in labor market uncertainty.
description: Pourquoi les salariés des grandes entreprises sont-ils mieux rémunérés que les travailleurs des petites entreprises, même si l'on tient compte des caractéristiques observables? En complément des résultats antérieurs, les auteurs proposent un mécanisme qui permet de répondre à la question. Dans le modèle décrit, les salariés accumulent du capital humain, au risque d'en perdre une partie s'ils changent d'emploi, volontairement ou non. Le modèle, qui est étalonné en fonction des économies américaine et canadienne, parvient à expliquer le tiers de la prime salariale liée à la taille des entreprises. Quant à l'écart de rémunération entre le Canada et les États-Unis, il est uniquement imputable, d'après le modèle, aux différences dans les niveaux d'incertitude sur le marché du travail.
Divide and Congruence III: From Decomposition of Modal Formulas to Preservation of Stability and Divergence

description: In two earlier papers we derived congruence formats with regard to transition system specifications for weak semantics on the basis of a decomposition method for modal formulas. The idea is that a congruence format for a semantics must ensure that the formulas in the modal characterisation of this semantics are always decomposed into formulas that are again in this modal characterisation. The stability and divergence requirements that are imposed on many of the known weak semantics have so far been outside the realm of this method. Stability refers to the absence of a $τ$-transition. We show, using the decomposition method, how congruence formats can be relaxed for weak semantics that are stability-respecting. This relaxation for instance brings the priority operator within the range of the stability-respecting branching bisimulation format. Divergence, which refers to the presence of an infinite sequence of $τ$-transitions, escapes the inductive decomposition method. We circumvent this problem by proving that a congruence format for a stability-respecting weak semantics is also a congruence format for its divergence-preserving counterpart.

description: METIS, the Mid-infrared ELT Imager and Spectrograph is among the first-generation instruments for ESO\'s 39m Extremely Large Telescope (ELT). It will provide diffraction-limited spectroscopy and imaging, including coronagraphic capabilities, in the thermal/mid-infrared wavelength domain (3 Im 13.3 Im). Its Single Conjugate Adaptive Optics (SCAO) system will be used for all observing modes, with High Contrast Imaging imposing the most demanding requirements on its performance.
The final design review of METIS took place in the fall of 2022; the development of the instrument, including its SCAO system, has since entered the Manufacturing, Assembly, Integration and Testing (MAIT) phase. Numerous challenging aspects of an ELT AO system are addressed in the mature designs for the SCAO control system and the SCAO hardware module: the complex interaction with the telescope entities that participate in the AO control, wavefront reconstruction with a fragmented and moving pupil, secondary control tasks to deal with differential image motion, non-common path aberrations and mis-registration. A K-band pyramid wavefront sensor and a GPU-based RTC, tailored to needs of METIS at the ELT, are core components. The implementation of the METIS SCAO system includes thorough testing at several levels before the installation at the telescope. These tests require elaborate setups to mimic the conditions at the telescope. This paper provides an overview of the design of METIS SCAO as it will be implemented, the main results of the extensive analyses performed to support the final design, and the next steps on the path towards commissioning.

description: We present a theoretical study of rotationally elastic and inelastic collisions between molecular nitrogen ions and Rb atoms in the sub-Kelvin temperature regime prevalent in ion-atom hybrid trapping experiments. The cross sections for rotational excitation and de-excitation collisions were calculated using quantum-scattering methods on ab-initio potential energy surfaces for the energetically lowest singlet electronic channel of the system. We find that the rotationally inelastic collision rates are at least an order of magnitude smaller than the charge-exchange rates found in this system, rendering inelastic processes a minor channel under the conditions of typical hybrid trapping experiments.
