title: Where the wild things are: Examining the intersection between the RMA 1991 and the Wildlife Act 1953

authors: Wallace, Philippa Jane

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: Recent case law has drawn attention to the impact of the Wildlife Act 1953 (WA) and its intersection with the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA). Some of the decisions have been summarised in previous RMLA publications and it is the intention of this article to examine more closely aspects of those cases. A particular focus is the use of review conditions related to wildlife in resource consents and the role of an Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE).

title: Modelling the yield curve with Orthonomalised Laguerre Polynomials: An intertemporally consistent approach with an economic interpretation

authors: Krippner, Leo

subjects: yield curve

abstract: This article provides theoretical foundations for the popular orthonormalised Laguerre polynomial (OLP) model of the yield curve, as originally introduced by Nelson and Siegel (1987). Intertemporal consistency is provided by deriving the volatility-adjusted OLP (VAO) model of the yield curve using the risk-neutral Heath, Jarrow and Morton (1992) framework, and including an allowance for term premia as noted in Duffee (2002). An economic interpretation is provided by deriving the relationship between the VAO model and the Berardi and Esposito (1999) yield curve model that is based on a generic general equilibrium model of the economy. In empirical applications using almost 50 years of United States data, the VAO model outperforms the random walk when used to forecast the yield curve out of sample, and the level of the yield curve as measured by the VAO model is shown to be cointegrated with CPI inflation, as predicted.

title: Ko wai tēnei e tū ake nei? Activating collectivity and accountability through grounded positioning

authors: Rata, Arama

abstract: Building on conference conversations about positionality—about who we are and how our identities shape our views of the world, about the connections and disconnections experienced between us, and about our proximities to place, power, and privilege—this piece brings together four conference participants to continue to reflect on what positionality means, on why it is important, and on how to practice it in non-performative, well-developed, and mutually nourishing ways. Their dialogue reflects active and critical positioning in process and practice, creating opportunities for acknowledging our relationships and activating both collectivity and accountability in the various spaces where we live, work, create, and hope.
