Knowledge-based Economies
Author: Władysław WelfePublisher: Peter Lang
ISBN: 9783631579817
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Growth of «new» market economies is associated with rapid expansion of knowledge capital. It leads to the emergence of knowledge-based economies. As the literature broadly uses international cross-section samples to study the role of knowledge capital, we tried to recapitulate on the results of this research. However, our main aim was to show how they can be applied to analyse the growth of single economies and develop scenarios for the next 20 to 30 years. Extended production functions with endogenous TFP determined by knowledge capital generate potential output that may considerably differ from effective output. This calls for constructing complete models, addressing both final demand and total supplies. Their suggested structure is presented using the annual long-term macro-econometric models W8D of Polish economy.
Exchange Rate Assessments
Author: Mr.Jaewoo LeePublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1589066383
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
The rapid increase in international trade and financial integration over the past decade and the growing importance of emerging markets in world trade and GDP have inspired the IMF to place stronger emphasis on multilateral surveillance, macro-financial linkages, and the implications of globalization. The IMF's Consultative Group on Exchange Rate Issues (CGER)--formed in the mid-1990s to provide exchange rate assessments for a number of advanced economies from a multilateral perspective--has therefore broadened its mandate to cover both key advanced economies and major emerging market economies. This Occasional Paper summarizes the methodologies that underpin the expanded analysis.
International Macroeconomics
Author: Amalia Morales ZumaqueroPublisher: Nova Publishers
ISBN: 9781594549014
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 426
Book Description
The international macroeconomics area has experienced substantial growth over the past decade. The goal of this volume is to present the most important developments in the international macroeconomics field in recent years. The literature in this area has evolved mainly in four directions that constitute the four parts of this book. In particular, Part I focuses on the purchasing power parity (PPP) puzzle, Part II presents papers that try to explain the behaviour of nominal and real exchange rates, Part III covers the financial crises, currency crises and contagion recent literature and, finally, the behaviour of exchange rates, inflation and output convergence in Central and Eastern European transition economies are considered in Part IV.
Trinity Strikes Back: Monetary Independence and Inflation in the Caribbean
Author: Mr.Serhan CevikPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 151351170X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 19
Book Description
Monetary independence is at the core of the macroeconomic policy trilemma stating that an independent monetary policy, a fixed exchange rate and free movement of capital cannot exist at the same time. This study examines the relationship between monetary autonomy and inflation dynamics in a panel of Caribbean countries over the period 1980–2017. The empirical results show that monetary independence is a significant factor in determining inflation, even after controlling for macroeconomic developments. In other words, greater monetary policy independence, measured as a country’s ability to conduct its own monetary policy for domestic purposes independent of external monetary influences, leads to lower consumer price inflation. This relationship—robust to alternative specifications and estimation methodologies—has clear policy implications, especially for countries that maintain pegged exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar with a critical bearing on monetary autonomy.

Grants Versus Loans
Author: Hulya UlkuPublisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1451857845
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 32
Book Description
Under what conditions should grants be preferred to loans? To answer this question, we present a simple model à la Krugman (1988) and show that, for any given level of developmental assistance, the optimal degree of loan concessionality is positively associated with economic growth if countries are poor, have bad policies, and high debt obligations. We then test our model by estimating a modified growth model for a panel of developing countries, and find evidence supporting our predictions. Finally, we assess the determinants of current aid allocations and find that the degree of concessionality is negatively correlated with countries' levels of development.
From Prognostics and Health Systems Management to Predictive Maintenance 1
Author: Rafael GouriveauPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119371066
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
This book addresses the steps needed to monitor health assessment systems and the anticipation of their failures: choice and location of sensors, data acquisition and processing, health assessment and prediction of the duration of residual useful life. The digital revolution and mechatronics foreshadowed the advent of the 4.0 industry where equipment has the ability to communicate. The ubiquity of sensors (300,000 sensors in the new generations of aircraft) produces a flood of data requiring us to give meaning to information and leads to the need for efficient processing and a relevant interpretation. The process of traceability and capitalization of data is a key element in the context of the evolution of the maintenance towards predictive strategies.
