Monetary Instruments and the Control of Liquidity in the Philippines: Focus on Open Market Operations

Monetary policies refer to the actions of central banks aimed to achieve macroeconomic stability and to influence financial factors such as money and interest rate. This paper discusses the framework for analyzing how monetary instruments affect monetary targets and the advantages and disadvantages of various instruments dispensable by the central bank. It also argues for the use of open market operations.central bank, money and banking, financial system, financial stabilization, monetary policy, open market operations, monetary instruments

Diboson Physics at the Tevatron

At the Fermilab Tevatron, the CDF and D0 detectors are being used to study diboson production in $p\bar{p}$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=1.96$ TeV. We summarize recent measurements of the W$\gamma$, Z$\gamma$, and WW cross-sections and limits on WZ and ZZ production. Limits on anomalous trilinear gauge couplings are also presented.Comment: 4 pages, Talk presented at the XLIrst Rencontres de Moriond - QCD and High Energy Hadronic Interactions, La Thuile, Italy, 18-25 March 200

The congress program will essentially include papers selected on the highest standard by the IPC, according to the IFAC guidelines www.ifac-control.org/publications/Publications-requirements-1.4.pdf, and published in open access in partnership with Elsevier in the IFAC-PapersOnline series, hosted on the ScienceDirect platform www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/24058963. Survey papers overviewing a research topic are also most welcome. Contributed papers will have usual 6 pages length limitation. 12 pages limitation will apply to survey papers.Publisher PD

Stationary processes whose filtrations are standard

We study the standard property of the natural filtration associated to a 0--1 valued stationary process. In our main result we show that if the process has summable memory decay, then the associated filtration is standard. We prove it by coupling techniques. For a process whose associated filtration is standard, we construct a product type filtration extending it, based upon the usual couplings and the Vershik's criterion for standardness.Comment: Published at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/009117906000000151 in the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org

Zero Landau level in folded graphene nanoribbons

Graphene nanoribbons can be folded into a double layer system keeping the two layers decoupled. In the Quantum Hall regime folds behave as a new type of Hall bar edge. We show that the symmetry properties of the zero Landau level in metallic nanoribbons dictate that the zero energy edge states traversing a fold are perfectly transmitted onto the opposite layer. This result is valid irrespective of fold geometry, magnetic field strength and crystallographic orientation of the nanoribbon. Backscattering suppression on the N=0 Hall plateau is ultimately due to the orthogonality of forward and backward channels, much like in the Klein paradox.Comment: Final published version, with supplementary material appendi
