Practical application of domain analysis: port of London case study
No full textDomain analysis has a well-documented history in peer reviewed academic literature; however there are few instances of its application to facilitate the assessment of system specific navigation risk. This paper details one example of a practical approach to domain analysis for a busy section of the River Thames in Central London. The results correlate well to known high risk collision areas on the river and help to quantify and corroborate expert opinion and local knowledge. However a number of conditions must be accounted for in undertaking a robust study such as the geography of the study site, the purpose and audience of the research, and the availability of data and its limitations.</p

The 3-equation new keynesian model - a graphical exposition
No full textWe develop a graphical 3-equation New Keynesian model for macroeconomic
analysis to replace the traditional IS-LM-AS model. The new graphical
IS-PC-MR model is a simple version of the one commonly used by central
banks and captures the forward-looking thinking engaged in by the policy
maker. Within a common framework, we compare our model to other
monetary-rule based models that are used for teaching and policy analysis.
We show that the differences between the models centre on whether the central
bank optimizes and on the lag structure in the IS and Phillips curve equations.
We highlight the analytical and pedagogical advantages of our preferred
model. The model can be used to analyze the consequences of a wide range
of macroeconomic shocks, to identify the structural determinants of the coefficients
of a Taylor type interest rate rule, and to explain the origin and size of
the inflation bias
What do New-Keynesian Phillips Curves imply for price-level targeting?
No full textThis paper extends the analysis of price-level targeting to a model including the New-Keynesian Phillips Curve. We examine the inflation-output variability tradeoffs implied by optimal inflation and price-level rules. In previous work with the Neoclassical Phillips Curve, we found that the choice between inflation targeting and price-level targeting depended on the amount of persistence in the output gap. That is, if the output gap was not too persistent, or if lagged output did not enter the aggregate supply function, then inflation targets were preferred to price-level targets. When we start with a New-Keynesian Phillips Curve, the amount of persistence in the output gap still affects the relative placement of the inflation-output variability tradeoff. But, contrary to the Neoclassical case, even where the persistence of the output gap in the aggregate supply function is small or nonexistent, the price-level- targeting regime still results in a more favorable tradeoff between output and inflation variability than does an inflation-targeting regime.Phillips curve ; Monetary policy ; Inflation (Finance)
Scaling up noncommunicable disease care in a resource-limited context: lessons learned and implications for policy
No full textBACKGROUND: Although primary care models for the care of common non-communicable diseases (NCD) have been developed in sub-Saharan Africa, few have described an integrated, decentralized approach at the community level. We report the results of a four-year, Ethiopian project to expand this model of NCD care to 15 primary hospitals and 45 health centres encompassing a wide geographical spread and serving a population of approximately 7.5 million people.METHODS: Following baseline assessment of the 60 sites, 30 master trainers were used to cascade train a total of 621 health workers in the diagnosis, management and health education of the major common NCDs identified in a scoping review (hypertension, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and epilepsy). Pre- and post-training assessments and regular mentoring visits were carried out to assess progress and remedy supply or equipment and medicines shortages and establish reporting systems. The project was accompanied by a series of community engagement activities to raise awareness and improve health seeking behaviour.RESULTS: A total of 643,296 people were screened for hypertension and diabetes leading to a new diagnosis in 24,313 who were started on treatment. Significant numbers of new cases of respiratory disease (3,986) and epilepsy (1,925) were also started on treatment. Mortality rates were low except among patients with hypertension in the rural health centres where 311 (10.2%) died during the project. Loss to follow up (LTFU), defined as failure to attend clinic for > 6 months despite reminders, was low in the hospitals but represented a significant problem in the urban and rural health centres with up to 20 to 30% of patients with hypertension or diabetes absenting from treatment by the end of the project. Estimates of the population disease burden enrolled within the project, however, were disappointing; asthma (0.49%), hypertension (1.7%), epilepsy (3.3%) and diabetes (3.4%).CONCLUSION: This project demonstrates the feasibility of scaling up integrated NCD services in a variety of locations, with fairly modest costs and a methodology that is replicable and sustainable. However, the relatively small gain in the detection and treatment of common NCDs highlights the huge challenge in making NCD services available to all.</p
