Inflation and inflation uncertainty in the Euro area by Caporale, Guglielmo Maria, Onorante, Luca, Paesani, Paolo

“…A sequential dummy procedure provides further evidence of a structural break coinciding with the introduction of the euro and resulting in lower long-run uncertainty. It also appears that the direction of causality has been reversed, and that in the euro period the Friedman-Ball link is empirically supported, implying that the ECB can achieve lower inflation uncertainty by lowering the inflation rate.…”

The identity of Coolia-toxin producing species by Mohammad Noor, Normawaty, Moestrup, Ojvind, Lundholm, Nina, Fraga, Santiago, Holmes, Michael J.

“…In the literature, c. monotis was reported in 1995 to produce cooliatoxin, but subsequent studies have shown that identification of the species is likely to be incorrect. The present study was conducted to clarify which species was responsible for cooliatoxin production by re-examination of the material used in the report of cooliatoxin and of other cultures of C. tropicalis collected from different sites including the type locality. …”
