Book Granger Predictability of Oil Prices After the Great Recession

Download or read book Granger Predictability of Oil Prices After the Great Recession written by Szilard Benk and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real oil prices surged from 2009 through 2014, comparable to the 1970’s oil shock period. Standard explanations based on monopoly markup fall short since inflation remained low after 2009. This paper contributes strong evidence of Granger (1969) predictability of nominal factors to oil prices, using one adjustment to monetary aggregates. This adjustment is the subtraction from the monetary aggregates of the 2008-2009 Federal Reserve borrowing of reserves from other Central Banks (Swaps), made after US reserves turned negative. This adjustment is key in that Granger predictability from standard monetary aggregates is found only with the Swaps subtracted.

Book Strategic Management  Levis Case Analysis

Download or read book Strategic Management Levis Case Analysis written by Khaled Bekhet and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, , language: English, abstract: In 1995, women’s jeans were a $2 billion fashion category in the US and growing fast. Levi- Strauss was the market leader, but its traditional dominant position was under heavy attack. Standard Levi’s women’s jeans, sold in 51 size combinations (waist and inseam), had been the industry leading product for decades, but "fashion" was now taking over the category. Market research showed that only 24 percent of women were "fully satisfied" with their purchase of standard jeans at about $50 per pair. "Fashion" in jeans meant more styles, more colors, and better fit. All of these combined to create a level of product line complexity that was a nightmare for manufacturing-oriented, "push based" companies like Strauss. By 1995, Strauss operated 19 Original Levi’s retail stores across the country (2,000 to 3,000 square foot mall stores) to put them in closer touch with the ultimate customers. However, this channel was a very small part of their overall $6 Billion sales, which were still primarily to distributors and/or independent retailers. Shows Levi’s financial footprint. Strauss was as aggressive as most apparel manufacturers and retailers in investing in process improvements and information technology to improve manufacturing and delivery cycle times and "pull-based" responsiveness to actual buying patterns. However, the overall supply chain from product design to retail sales was still complex, expensive and slow. In spite of substantial improvements in recent years, (including extensive use of "EDI", there was still an eight-month lag, on average, between ordering cotton fabric and selling the final pair of jeans. The industry average lag was still well over twelve months in 1995. The financial footprint for one pair of women’s jeans sold through the normal wholesale channel compared to one pair sold through an Original Levi’s Store summarized in.

Book Energy Transition  Climate Change  and COVID 19

Download or read book Energy Transition Climate Change and COVID 19 written by Fateh Belaïd and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-06 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume analyzes the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on energy transition and climate change from an economic perspective. Since its emergence in early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a powerful effect on multiple facets of the global economy. The unknown scope and duration of the pandemic and its associated economic shocks have made energy security and the process of clean energy transition highly unpredictable. To combat this, this edited volume presents a wide range of theoretical and empirical research at the nexus of the COVID-19 pandemic and energy, resource, and environmental economics. Chapters focus on four major themes: the impact of crises on energy security, the role of resilient energy systems in society, the challenges of clean energy transition, and economic impacts of COVID-19 on climate change. Providing rigorous analysis of an evolving situation that will continue to impact the global energy market, this volume will be of interest to researchers and students of energy economics, environmental economics, and resource economics as well as policy professionals involved in climate change and energy transition.

Book Temporal Causality and the Dynamic Interactions Between Terms of Trade and Current Account Deficits in Co Integrated VAR Processes

Download or read book Temporal Causality and the Dynamic Interactions Between Terms of Trade and Current Account Deficits in Co Integrated VAR Processes written by Eugene Kouassi and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates the relationship between the terms of trade and current account deficits within a context of VECM. The results indicate that for the Ivory Coast there is a long-run relationship between the terms of trade and current account deficits. They also indicate that current account deficits in the Ivory Coast cannot be explained by the terms of trade. A strong unidirectional relationship exists between current account deficits and the terms of trade since the first one, Granger, causes the second. Finally, dynamic simulations have indicated that a significant portion of fluctuations in the terms of trade is explained by current account deficits. In light of these findings, it can be concluded that economic policy in the Ivory Coast should be carried out with extreme caution due to the nature of international commodity markets, the mechanism of the terms of trade formation, and the relative exogeneity of current account deficits.

Download or read book The Formation of Econometrics written by Duo Qin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Duo Qin has produced a study of a crucial period in the history of econometrics. She analyses the development of the theory and methodology between 1930 and 1960, arguing in particular that the "probability revolution" of the 1940s was incomplete, and resulted in later problems.

Book Migration Impact Assessment

Download or read book Migration Impact Assessment written by Peter Nijkamp and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ÔThis book examines migration in a rapidly globalizing economy where it disrupts such relatively stable patterns as the trip to work, home, school and shopping on the one hand, and is itself transformed by continuously evolving information and telecommunications technology, declining relative transport cost and immigration policy dynamics. The perspective is global yet provides the reader with empirically based work representing Europe, North America and Asia, and international comparative studies of changing migration patternsÕ impact on trade and culture.Õ Ð Roger R. Stough, George Mason University, US During the last few decades the world has experienced an unprecedented level of cross-border migration. While this has generated significant socio-economic gains for host countries, as well as sometimes for the countries of origin, the costs and benefits involved are unevenly distributed. Consequently, growing global population mobility is a hotly debated topic, both in the political arena and by the general public. Amidst a plethora of facts, opinions and emotions, the assessment of migration impacts must be grounded in a solid scientific evidence base. This analytical book outlines and applies a range of the scientific methods that are currently available in migration impact assessment (MIA). The book provides various North American and European case studies that quantify socio-economic consequences of migration for host societies and for immigrants themselves. With up-to-date and broad coverage, this detailed study will appeal to academic researchers in the social sciences, policy analysts at national and international level, as well as graduate students in economics and regional science.
