The role of forward‐ and backward‐looking information for inflation expectations formation

Assuming that private forecasters learn inflation dynamics to form their inflation expectations and that they believe a hybrid New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) to capture the true data‐generating process of inflation, we aim at establishing the role of backward‐ and forward‐looking information in the inflation expectation formation process. We find that longer term expectations are crucial in shaping shorter horizon expectations. While the influence of backward‐looking information seems to diminish over time, we do not find evidence of a structural break in the expectation formation process of professional forecasters. Our results further suggest that the weight put on longer term expectations does not solely reflect a mean‐reverting process to trend inflation. Rather, it might also capture beliefs about the central bank's long‐run inflation target and its credibility to achieve inflation stabilization.     

基于参数化分位回归模型的非寿险准备金评估

准备金及其风险边际对保险公司的偿付能力具有决定性影响.均值回归模型在非寿险准备金评估中的应用较为普遍,但需要通过Bootstrap等方法计算准备金的风险边际.分位回归模型可以一次性求得准备金及其风险边际的预测值,所以在非寿险准备金评估中具有独特的应用价值.基于GB2(Generalized Beta type 2)分布建立了一种参数化分位回归模型,该模型首先对GB2分布中的位置参数和尺度参数同时引入流量三角形数据中的事故年和进展年作为解释变量,增加了模型的灵活性;其次,根据模型参数的极大似然估计结果,借助分位数函数的表达式,计算了不同分位数水平下的准备金预测值;最后,利用极大似然估计的渐近性质,通过Delta方法给出了准备金预测值的误差.基于一组增量赔款数据的实证研究结果表明,GB2参数化分位回归模型在非寿险准备金评估及其风险边际的预测中具有良好的应用价值.     

椭圆曲线y2=(x+a)(x2-ax+p)的大整数点

确定椭圆曲线的有理点(尤其大整数点)是数论与算术代数几何中十分有趣的问题。尤其椭圆曲线在密码学等方面的应用中,针对不同的情况,需要构造不同的椭圆曲线。本文在这类椭圆曲线y²=(x+a)(x²-ax+p)中找到了一族有大整数点的椭圆曲线。同时得到了这族椭圆曲线有整数解的充要条件,且给出了8条椭圆曲线的大整数点。     

Notes on types of Australian Chartocerus Motschulsky (Hymenoptera: Signiphoridae)

ABSTRACT

Type specimens of 11 species of Chartocerus (Hymenoptera: Signiphoridae) from Australia described by A.A. Girault, in the collection of the Queensland Museum, and one species described by W.H. Ashmead, in the United States Museum of Natural History, are redescribed and illustrated. Lectotypes are designated for Chartocerus australiensis (Girault) and Chartocerus hebes (Girault).     

Semi‐Structural Forecasting of UK Inflation Based on the Hybrid New Keynesian Phillips Curve

We develop a semi‐structural model for forecasting inflation in the UK in which the New Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) is augmented with a time series model for marginal cost. By combining structural and time series elements we hope to reap the benefits of both approaches, namely the relatively better forecasting performance of time series models in the short run and a theory‐consistent economic interpretation of the forecast coming from the structural model. In our model we consider the hybrid version of the NKPC and use an open‐economy measure of marginal cost. The results suggest that our semi‐structural model performs better than a random‐walk forecast and most of the competing models (conventional time series models and strictly structural models) only in the short run (one quarter ahead) but it is outperformed by some of the competing models at medium and long forecast horizons (four and eight quarters ahead). In addition, the open‐economy specification of our semi‐structural model delivers more accurate forecasts than its closed‐economy alternative at all horizons.
