Interest and exchange rate risk and stock returns : a multivariate GARCH-M modelling approach by Beirne, John, Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Spagnolo, Nicola

“…The econometric framework is a four-variate GARCH-in-mean model, which incorporates long-and short-term interest rates in turn. We find in most cases a positive effect of stock market returns on mean returns in each sector; by contrast, interest rates and exchange rates have a significant effect only in a few cases, respectively negative and without a clear sign pattern. …”

Land remediation, event spaces and the pursuit of Olympic legacy by Gold, Margaret, Gold, John Robert

“…In particular, it considers ways in which redevelopment of the sizeable spaces prepared for staging the event take their place in broader strategies intended to bring long-term benefits to the host city and society in order to compensate for the costs and inconvenience originally incurred in hosting the Games. …”

3rd order coupled-resonator bandpass filter assisted by Groove Gap-Waveguide technology for 26-GHz radio link diplexer by Alibakhshikenari, Mohammad, Parand, Peiman, Zidour, Ali, Virdee, Bal Singh, Longhi, Patrick, See, Chan Hwang, Limiti, Ernesto

“…Its unit-cells consist of a rectangular metal-pin which is connected to a bottom metal plate and its other side is electromagnetically coupled to a top plate with an air-gap of approximately λ/4 that creates a bandgap, preventing unwanted electromagnetic-wave propagation. …”

Meeting the challenges of chemical and biological weapons: strengthening the chemical and biological disarmament and non-proliferation regimes by Edwards, Brett, Novossiolova, Tatyana, Crowley, Michael, Whitby, Simon, Dando, Malcolm, Shang, Lijun

“…During this century despite the agreement of some positive measures to strengthen these Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Regimes, there is little doubt that both are facing considerable difficulties at present. However, there is a long and diverse tradition of civil society efforts to help strengthen these regimes and there is some hope that, following the dangers from biological agents exposed in the pandemic, States Parties will be able to find ways to improve the protection afforded by the two Conventions. …”

Rural transformation and productivity in China by You, Kefei, Sarantis, Nicholas

“…This paper carries out for the first time an econometric investigation of the contribution of rural transformation to total factor productivity in China. We find that the efficiency gains resulting from rural transformation make a significant and nontrivial contribution to factor productivity in China. …”
