Which survey indicators are useful for monitoring consumption? Evidence from European countries

This paper assesses the information content of two survey indicators for consumption developments in the near future for eight European countries in the period 1985–1998. Empirical work on this topic typically focuses on consumer confidence, the perceptions of buyers of consumption goods. This paper examines whether perceptions of sellers of consumption goods, measured by retail trade surveys, may also improve short‐term monitoring of consumption. We find that both consumer confidence and retailer confidence embody valuable information, when analysed in isolation. For France, Italy and Spain we conclude that adding retail confidence does not improve the indicator model once consumer confidence has been included. For the UK the reverse case is obtained. For the remaining four countries we show that combining consumer sentiment and retail trade confidence into a composite indicator leads to optimal results. Our results suggest that incorporating information from retail trade surveys may offer significant benefits for the analysis of short‐term prospects of consumption.

Principle of Mangling Correction of Plate-welding Section Steel and its Application

Thanks to the fantastic development of power, transportation, chemical engineering, architecture and other fields, there has been an increasing demand for new type of section steel with large sections used for construction frame, such as type-H, type-T, and type-C section steel. New types of section steel usually are long and with large cross section. Therefore, for the sake of the cost, steel plate welding structure is used home and abroad. During the welding process, welding distortion seems unavoidable. ...
