Conservative Central Banks and Nominal Growth, Exchange Rate and Inflation Targets
A framework is developed in which inflation biases with different target variables are compared. A nominal growth target measured in consumer prices may yield less stabilization bias than a nominal income growth target. Exchange rate and inflation targets result in less stabilization bias than an income growth target the more important the terms‐of‐trade stabilization. Persistence in output causes excessive stabilization of productivity shocks an…
Correlates of high-risk sexual behaviour among Canadian men of South Asian and European origin who have sex with men
A sample of 98 Canadian homosexual and bisexual men, 46 of South Asian and 52 of European origin, who had sex with other than an exclusive primary partner were asked about their high-risk sexual behaviours during the previous six months. They were also queried about internalized homophobia, acculturation to the gay community, and for South Asians acculturation to the majority culture. Participants who reported more internalized homophobia were mo…
Sectoral Employment Variability and Unexpected Inflation
This paper considers the relationship between the variability of sectoral employment and unexpected inflation. The framework used is a multisector version of Friedman's well-known model of the business cycle. The model suggests that sectoral employment variability is a quadratic function of unexpected inflation and the rate of growth in real GNP. The model is tested using annual U.S. data on sectoral employment in the nonagricultural economy from…
The Effects of Inflation Surprises and Uncertainty on Real Wages
This paper presents a partial equilibrium model of the labor market that allows the real wage, the expected real wage, and the level of employment to be expressed as functions of unexpected inflation, inflation uncertainty, and supply shocks. Regression equation estimation using U.S. data from 1948 to 1980 suggests that inflationary surprises and uncertainty cause countercycical movement in real wages. Various supply shock variables are introduce…
