Sources of fluctuations in parallel exchange rates and policy reform in Myanmar

Myanmar maintained a multiple exchange rate system, and the parallel market exchange rate was left untamed. In the last two decades, the Myanmar kyat exchange rate of the parallel market has exhibited the sharpest fluctuations among Southeast Asian currencies in real terms. Since the move to a managed float regime in April 2012, the question arises of whether exchange rate policies will be effective in stabilizing the real exchange rate. This paper investigates the sources of fluctuations in the real effective exchange rate using Blanchard and Quah’s (1989) structural vector autoregression model. As nominal shocks can be created by exchange rate policies, a persistent impact of a nominal shock implies more room for exchange rate policies. Decomposition of the fluctuations into nominal and real shocks indicates that the impact of nominal shocks is small and quickly diminishes, implying that complementary sterilization is necessary for effective foreign exchange market interventions.

On the layout of a least weight single span structure with uniform load. Some comments and improvements

Beghini et al (Struct Multidisc Optim doi:10.1007/s00158-013-1030-6, 2013) have published a very interesting paper arriving to practically the same nearly optimal solutions for the so named “bridge prob- lem” that the Writers published a year before, but using an alternative and remarkable approach to the problem. In spite of this general agreement, the Writers think that some details of the paper can be improved and there are results that can be given a clear and mean- ingful interpretation thanks to an old and practically unknown theorem on optimal slenderness.

Red de Docencia Introducción en Geografía del Turismo

La red docente de la asignatura Introducción a la Geografía del Turismo, ha intentado coordinar la asignatura para poner en común las experiencias desarrolladas por el profesorado de la asignatura. Tras varios cursos impartiendo la misma en el primer curso del Grado en Turismo, es necesario revisar la asignatura para la búsqueda de los problemas y cuestiones más conflictivas, para intentar mejorar para los próximos cursos. Por este motivo se ha trabajado para trabajar en común y establecer un dialogo sobre los aspectos que cada profesor ha considerado como más importantes. En el caso de esta asignatura la dificultad ha estado en el elevado número de alumnos y en coordinar a tantos grupos de prácticas, por lo que la opinión de cada uno de los siete profesores de la asignatura será clave para establecer las cuestiones más importantes para el futuro.
