Book Description
This thesis is an exploration through writing, photography and a studio project, pursuing and established upon the question of architecture as a means of expression and the research of human existence comprehended through being; architecture as personal search and collective construction. The work is built as a parallel commentary to René Daumal's text Le Mont Analogue which investigates through an analogous mountain expedition, the human search for essence. Relationships establish themselves between the texts where the Wall is my analogue, through which the capacity to give form, image and substance to ephemeral comprehensions, to give birth to these comprehensions by the imagination, to make then perceptible by the self and others and to confer upon them persistence and memory, is revealed slowly to be a richness and a depth in architecture.

The Role of the Exchange Rate in Inflation
Author: Anna Nordstrom
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 145198295X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
This paper explores the role of exchange rates in emerging economies with inflation-targeting regimes, an issue that has become especially germane during the current episode of financial turmoil and volatile capital flows. Under inflation targeting, the interest rate is the main monetary policy tool for influencing activity and inflation, and there is little agreement about the appropriate role of the exchange rate.The exchange rate is a more important monetary policy tool for emerging economies that have adopted inflation targeting than it is for inflation-targeting advanced economies. Inflation-targeting emerging economies generally have less flexible exchange rate arrangements and intervene more frequently in the foreign exchange market than their advanced economy counterparts. The enhanced role of the exchange rate reflects these economies' greater vulnerability to exchange rate shocks and their less developed financial markets. However, their sharper focus on the exchange rate may cause some confusion about the commitment of their central banks to achieve the inflation target and may also complicate policy implementation. Global inflation pressures, greater exchange rate volatility, and the financial stresses from the global financial turmoil that began in mid-2007 are heightening these tensions.

Essays on Monetary Coordination, Exchange Rate Volatility and Interfirm Networks
Author: Qing Liu
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780494580400
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
This dissertation consists of three independent essays in Macroeconomics. The first essay analyzes monetary coordination between currency areas. It is shown that search frictions can generate the deviations from the law of one price and that each country is tempted to exploit these deviations by inflation. Monetary coordination eliminates the inefficiency caused by inflation. The welfare gains from coordination increase when the two economies become more integrated. In contrast to traditional models, the need for coordination exists even after each country is allowed to directly tax foreign holdings of its currency.The second essay studies the behavior of exchange rates in an environment with search frictions. In contrast to traditional models, even without any nominal rigidity, the model can generate enough volatility of exchange rates found in the data. The changes in the behavior of exchange rates under different regimes are also examined in this essay. The model shows a sharp increase in the volatility of exchange rates when moving from a pegged to a floating exchange regime, while there is no such systematic change in fluctuations of output or consumption. Moreover, the co-movements of output and consumption across countries are higher under a fixed rate regime than under a flexible rate regime. These results are consistent with empirical findings.The final essay focuses on the competition between groups of allied firms. In the essay we propose a model of group fitness and develop an approach to evaluate the fitness of groups and the utility of their member firms. A group has high fitness if member firms have four features: (i) high capacity, (ii) being embedded in dense relationships, (iii) holding complementary resources and (iv) having limited competition and conflict. We illustrate the effectiveness of our model and methodology by applying it to the airline groups between 1997 and 2002. By examining what really happened to the airline groups afterwards, we found that the predictions based on the comparison between the fitness scores of actual groups formed and those of the corresponding population constructed are reasonably accurate, and that the implications based on the ranking of individual firm utility within each group are generally supported.

Fiscal Policy and Long-Term Growth
Author: International Monetary Fund
Publisher: International Monetary Fund
ISBN: 1498344658
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
This paper explores how fiscal policy can affect medium- to long-term growth. It identifies the main channels through which fiscal policy can influence growth and distills practical lessons for policymakers. The particular mix of policy measures, however, will depend on country-specific conditions, capacities, and preferences. The paper draws on the Fund’s extensive technical assistance on fiscal reforms as well as several analytical studies, including a novel approach for country studies, a statistical analysis of growth accelerations following fiscal reforms, and simulations of an endogenous growth model.

Assessing Aid

Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five mainrecommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects oncreating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.
