Monetary Policy Cyclicality, Industrial Output and Economic Growth Interactions in Nigeria

T his paper examined whether monetary policy is acyclical, procyclical or countercyclical and the implications of the interaction of such cyclicality with industrial output on real economic growth in Nigeria. After determining the time series properties of the variables and based on conventional cyclicality measures, the fully modified ordinary least square method was used to examine...

The British Industrial Revolution

Honey revisited: a reappraisal of honey in pre-industrial diets.

Forecasting Growth of Australian Industrial Output Using Interest Rate Models

We examine the ability of short rates and yield spreads to forecast the growth in Australian industrial output. We find that since 1990, the short rate has a significant increase in its predictive power for forecasting output growth in many industries. We document this increase. The yield spread, on the other hand, is useful in predicting the growth of industries with a `longer' production cycl...

Developing Industrial Design Education: A British perspective

The first theme involves enabling students to utilize a variety of research approaches at different levels. The design process has always involved elements of researching, but the evidence based design appr...
