When I was invited to this banking conference, I agreed to talk about bank interest margins – in particular, the international comparison of these margins. As it turns out, we at the Reserve Bank have said about as much as can fruitfully be said on this subject in our recent Annual Report.

Some Recent Developments in Sphalerons

We review briefly the sphaleron and list some of its properties. We summarize some of the results in models which have an extended scalar sector. We also present our work on models dealing with physics beyond the standard model. We focus on the energy of the sphaleron which is important in determining the rate of baryon number violation at the electroweak scale.

Some Recent Developments in Microeconometrics

This paper surveys methods that have been added to the microeconometrician’s toolkit over the past twenty-…ve years, and some recent developments in these newer methods. These methods include GMM, empirical likelihood, simulation-based estimation, quantile regression, semiparametric estimation, robust inference, and bootstrap. The paper also considers estimation of marginal e¤ects that can be g...
