Yuan Real Exchange Rate Undervaluation, 1997-2006. How Much, How Often? Not Much, Not Often
No full textYuan real effective exchange rate misalignment is esitimated in a behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) model for the period 1997 to third quarter 2007. Using the Beveridge-Nelson decomposition a vector error correction model (VECM) of the exchange rate as a function of macroeconomic fundamentals, including government expenditures, economic openness, the balance of trade surplus, and net foreign assets, is estimated. We find that the Chinese Yuan has been fluctuating moderately around its long run equilibrium value with undervaluation up to 4% and overvaluation up to 6% at various points in time since 1997. This result is consistent with findings of many of the most recent studies employing alternative econometric methodologies to determine the equilibrium exchange rate. While the Yuan real effective exchange rate has deviated from equilibrium, and it is sticky, taking over five years to correct 50% of the short run misalignment, it does not appear to have been consistently undervalued as has been widely argued.Chinese Yuan, Exchange Rate, Misalignment, BEER, Behavioral, Cointegration, ARIMA, VECM, FGLS.
Análise fractal da taxa de câmbio da moeda chinesa, o yuan, contra o dólar americano

Este comportamento impossibilita o estudo dessas variáveis macroeconômicas através da ciência clássica(Newton). A possibilidade encontrada para o estudo desses sistema é a utilização da teoria o caos, que tenta de diversas formas analisar este tipo de sistema. Esta monografia estuda a taxa de câmbio da moeda chinesa, o yuan, contra o dólar americano, atravé da teoria do caos.

Understanding and Describing London Dispersion Effects in Transition-Metal-Catalyzed C–H Activations
No full textAbstract Transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation has emerged as a powerful strategy for molecular synthesis with unique levels of resource economy. Weak secondary dispersion interactions were found to play an essential role in these transformations in terms of kinetic efficacy and selectivity. This Account summarizes our group’s recent progress in the rationalization and quantification of London dispersion effects within the transition-metal-catalyzed C–H activation. 1 Introduction 2 Annulation Reactions 3 Alkylation Reactions 4 Arylation Reactions 5 Olefination Reactions 6 Oxygenation Reactions 7 Conclusio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Remarks. A. yuanjiangensis sp. nov. keys to the Amynthas corticis -group (Sims & Easton, 1972), characterized by four spermathecal pores located intersegmentally in 5/6–8/9 and by holandry. By now, there are 109 species belonging into A. corticis -group totally (Nguyen et al. 2020a). The combined characters of medium-sized body, male pore on the top of a large raised pulvinate pad, no genital papillae in the spermathecal pore and male pore regions, intestinal caeca between simple and complex, prostate gland partially vestigial or developed, and rod-shaped spermathecal seminal chamber make this new species different from the species reported from China in A. corticis -group. This new species is similar to Amynthas fornicates (Gates, 1935) in medium-sized body, no genital papillae in the male pore region, and the arrangement of spermathecal pores. However, in A. yuanjiangensis sp. nov., the intestinal caeca are between simple and complex, the prostate glands are partially degenerated, and the spermathecal diverticulum shorter than the main spermathecal axis; however, in A. fornicates, the intestinal caeca are simple, the prostate glands are developed, and the spermathecal diverticulum is longer than the main spermathecal axis. A. yuanjiangensis sp. nov. is resemble Amynthas homochaetus (Chen, 1938) in the large raised pulvinate pad of male pore area, no genital papillae on spermathecal pore region and male pore region especially. But A. yuanjiangensis sp. nov. is clearly distinguished from A. homochaetus by the following characters: 1) the intestinal caeca in A. homochaetus are simple, but in this new species, they are between simple and complex; 2) the prostate glands in A. homochaetus are well developed, but in the new species, they are partially degenerated; 3) the seminal chambers in A. homochaetus are ovoid, but those in the new species are rod-shaped. Amynthas disperses Sun & Qiu, 2018 and A. yuanjiangensis sp. nov. have both been collected in several localities in South China, and share some characters (e.g. megium-sized body, the area of male pore porophore is bigger, partially vestigial prostate gland, and band- or rod-shaped seminal chamber), but they are different from each other in the following ways: 1) the first dorsal pore is located at 10/11 or 11/12 on A. disperses, but always at 11/ 12 in the new species; 2) small genital papillae are always present in the spermathecal pore and male pore region in A. disperses, but there are no genital papillae in the new species; 3) the intestinal caeca in A. disperses are simple, but those in this new species are between simple and complex; 4) the spermathecal diverticulum is about as long as the main spermathecal axis in A. disperses, but shorter than the main spermathecal axis in the new species.Published as part of Sun, Jing, Jiang, Ji-Bao, Wu, Juzhen, Yuan, Zhu & Qiu, Jiang-Ping, 2021, Three new widely distributed and polymorphic species of Amynthas earthworms (Oligochaeta, Clitellata, Megascolecidae) from South China, pp. 457-474 in Zootaxa 4938 (4) on pages 464-467, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4938.4.5, http://zenodo.org/record/457494
