Forecasting banknotes
No full textA central bank’s liquidity forecast is important in ensuring that it supplies the banking system’s need for central bank money. Banknote (or currency in circulation) demand is the largest and for some central banks the most variable component of the liquidity forecast. Accurate forecasting of banknotes is essential in ensuring an accurate liquidity forecast and in turn effective monetary policy implementation. This Handbook discusses these issues and outlines a structural time series state space (STSSS) model which is now used by central banks including the Bank of England and ECB to forecast banknotes (currency in circulation).Forecasting banknotes

Managerial Expectations on the Implementation of Reduced Work Hours: Evaluating Productivity, Leadership Adaptation, and Workplace Dynamics
No full textAbstract Title: Managerial Expectations on the Implementation of Reduced Work Hours: Evaluating Productivity, Leadership Adaptation, and Workplace Dynamics Author: Simon Bonnevier Supervisor: Michal T. Lysek Background: Over the past decade, organizations have experimented with Reduced Working Hours (RWH) while maintaining salaries to improve employee well-being without compromising performance. Although research suggests potential productivity gains and improved work-life balance, the leaders’ role in balancing flexibility with operational needs remains underexplored. Purpose: To explore how managers in the sports, construction, banking, travel, and automotive industries expect the implementation of RWH to affect productivity and leadership capabilities. Method: Outlines the qualitative, inductive study design with a subjectivist ontological perspective and a hermeneutic epistemology. Inspired by Classic Grounded Theory, an iterative process with theoretical sampling. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed through open and selective coding with constant comparison and memo writing until theoretical saturation. Five leaders in various organizations have been interviewed through qualitative interviews. Results and Discussion: Presents the model for Reduced Work Hours (RWH), developed through coding the empirical data. The model is illustrated as a triangular structure with three integrated Level 3 codes—“Conflicting Accustomations,” “Leadership Process for RWH,” and “Organizational-Level Strategies”—that interact to enable a sustainable and engaging implementation of RWH. The results are compared and discussed with existing research and relevant theories.

Virtual Meeting Spaces and Sustainable Arctic Communities:All Who Wander Are Not Lost
No full textThis chapter describes lessons pertaining to two (2D)- and three-dimensional (3D) solutions for connecting in virtual spaces that were developed in response to the COVID-19 travel disruptions. A handful of intergenerational participants met in person in one of two physical locations, the Faroe Islands and Rolvsøya, Norway, for workshops on sustainable Arctic tourism and the use of virtual reality (VR) technology to connect distant Arctic communities in the spring of 2021. These two groups developed 2D virtual ‘forest office’ and ‘island home’ spaces in Gather.town, which is an interactive platform that acts both as a place to store information (e.g., videos) and to host an organic video chat. Meetings started from these spaces, and then participants around the world used VR headsets to launch into several VR experiences, including “walk and talks” on Faroe Island roads, note-taking around a virtual campfire, and selfie-taking on an ice floe in the Arctic. Interdisciplinary and intersectoral organizers curated existing content and platforms and brought new VR content to participants. The chapter both highlights the many positives experienced by the participants in the VR workshops and discusses the challenges and drawbacks to consider before launching into such an involved enterprise.</p
