Could the Federal Reserve have reversed the decline in the money supply during the Great Depression without causing a loss of confidence in the U.S. commitment to the gold standard? This article uses the $1 billion expansionary open market operation in 1932 as a crucial case study. Using forward exchange rates and interest rate differentials to measure devaluation expectations, we find virtuall...

A Pattern Matching Tool for Forecasting, Proc. 14th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR'98), Brisbane, IEEE Press, vol. 1, pp. 103-105 (August 16-20, 1998) . ABSTRACT In this paper we describe a pattern recognition based tool for forecasting. We compare the results of forecasting with this tool against the Exponential smoothing method on Santa Fe seri...

Managers, consultants, and the financial press assert that compensation plans based on residual income change managers’ behavior. This assertion is empirically tested by selecting a sample of firms that began using a residual income performance measure in their compensation plans and comparing their performance to a control sample of firms that continue to use traditional accounting earnings-ba...

PURPOSE The authors tested different loading schemes for the number of repetitions completed during multiple sets of resistance exercise. METHODS Twenty-four resistance-trained men (age 24.0 ± 4.5 y, body mass 78.3 ±10.2 kg, height 177 ± 7 cm) were tested over a 5-wk period. During week 1 a 10-repetition maximum (10RM) in the leg press was determined. During weeks 2-5 subjects completed 4 bou...
