In-arrear swaps are popular products in a steep yield curve environment to a fix rate receiver who thinks that short term rates will not rise as fast as the yield curve predicts‚ pocketing up the difference between the fix rate of the standard swap and the one of the in-arrear swap known as the pick up‚ while still paying low Libor resets. Usually‚ clients (corporates or financial institutions) receive fix and pay floating. In a steep yield curve environment‚ because of the delayed resets‚ an in-arrear

because firms have more attractive investment opportunities. Both the supply and demand curves (Bd and Bs) shift to the right‚ but as is indicated in the text‚ the demand curve probably shifts less than the supply curve so the equilibrium interest rate rises. Similarly‚ when the economy enters a recession‚ both the supply and demand curves shift to the left‚ but the demand curve shifts less than the supply curve so that the interest rate falls. The conclusion is that interest rates rise during booms

In addition‚ the Gini coefficient‚ “which directly relates to the graphical depiction of inequality provided by the Lorenz Curve” ‚ shows Australia rising from 0.307 in 1995/96 to 0.345 in 2007/08. This large increase in the Gini coefficient of around 0.25 to over 0.30 was a result of the 1991 recession‚ in which “long-term unemployment became entrenched and underemployment

Q.1. What are indifference curves? Explain the consumers’ equilibrium under the assumptions of ordinal approach. Utility of goods cannot be measured in terms of précised quantitative term. J. R. Hicks and R.G.D. Allen developed Indifference Curve analysis based on ordinal approach. Indifference curve (IC) is defined as the locus of point which show the different combination of two goods or commodities a consumer is indifferent about the point A or B or C or D. According to this analysis the consumer

applying a translog variable cost function‚ the capacity utilization has been estimated with respect to two alternative measures of potential output: (i) where short-run average cost is minimum‚ and (ii) whe re short-run and long-run average cost curves are tangent. The results reveal that the capacity utilization in Indian Airlines has been poor in general and also declining over the last decade. Therefore‚ the study suggests a need to improve the capacity utilization‚ which in turn would improve

people also are far less likely to spend money‚ reducing the overall wellbeing of the economy as well. A certain level of unemployment is normal and natural though. In the past economists used the “Phillips Curve” to show an inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. This curve was based on Economist William Phillips’ findings; when unemployment was high‚ wages increased slowly; when unemployment was low‚ wages rose rapidly...the lower the unemployment rate‚ the tighter the labor market
