FINANCIAL CRISES AND KNOWLEDGE,HISTORICAL AND ANALYTICAL*

Noel Butlin would have welcomed the theme from which this paper began, ‘Financial Crises: Historical Perspectives’. Respecting his memory, I seek to use aspects of New Zealand's financial history to illuminate recent experience while acknowledging that: distinguishing transitory from significant changes is not easy; bringing historical knowledge to bear on current issues is different from mining the past for convenient arguments; and ideas and analysis need to be kept up to date. Economic analysis is far more enlightening than moral protest.     

单镜立体照相技术的研究

针对双镜立体照相技术重构立体图像画质模糊、图像受损、清晰度下降的问题，采用光开关对镜头光路左右对称分割，获得视差图像。在分析对其视差图像进行处理的基础上，提出一种主景深上无重影的立体照相技术。通过该技术获得的重构立体图像画质高、无重影、立体感强。

Fixed Exchange Rates and Banking Crises: When Does the Former Prevent the Latter?

Because monetary policy is constrained in fixed exchange rate regimes, banks should expect fewer money‐financed bailouts and therefore manage their risks more carefully when exchange rates are fixed than when they are flexible. It follows that we should observe fewer banking crises in countries with formal currency pegs. The 1990s however are littered with occurrences of banking crises in countries with fixed exchange rates. This paper asks whether banks in those countries could have adopted excess risk expecting money‐financed bailouts or whether their pegs discouraged such moral hazard‐type risks.

Saudi Arabian consumer's interest in commercial application of 3D body scanner in the apparel market

The overall objective of this research was to explore Saudi Arabian female consumer's attitude towards the concept of using three dimensional (3D) body scanners and the commercial application in the Saudi Arabian apparel market. The questionnaire was administered to a convenience sample of 220 female college students. Findings indicated that participants were overwhelmingly positive about willingness to use 3D body scanner to get body measurements. Moreover, no significant relationship exists between religiosity and social liberty and interest in using 3D body scanner. However, significant positive relationships exist between respondents' clothing involvement and uniqueness and interest in using 3D body scanner.     

The role of interviewer encounters in panel responses on life satisfaction

This note examines a common explanation why participants of panel surveys may report declining life satisfaction over time. In line with the argument of developing trust relationships between interviewers and interviewees, the analysis reveals positive effects in reported life satisfaction when the person conducting the interview changes to an unfamiliar individual. Yet, the evidence also shows that the overall decline is determined by years in the panel, rather than by number of encounters with one specific interviewer.     

The end of economic transition

The transition from plan to market was the largest natural experiment in economics ever. Now, 20 years from the start of transition, all former socialist countries are market economies at the middle stage of economic development, and convergence with neighbours, if not with the developed world, is largely achieved. With hindsight, it is clear that economists have spent too much time debating proper sequencing of reforms and the fine‐tuning of reform packages. At the same time, the magnitude of the output and consumption fall in some countries was vastly underestimated, while the benefits of reforms have taken longer to materialize than expected. Successful practitioners of reform praise perseverance during and after the initial setbacks and willingness to make political compromises. At the conclusion of the natural experiment, transition economics has all but vanished as an academic discipline, although it played a crucial role in the formation of modern political economics.
