Sommario/riassunto

The wall chart 'Design for Better Window Performance' describes window and other design elements and the impact of these design elements singly and in combination on window performance and building attributes. The design elements are grouped into four categories: Exterior-windbreaks, shades, coverings and sun orientation; Frame-insulating frame, opening type, weather strip and hardware; Glazing-multi-glazing, reflective glazing, plastic glazing and glass block; Interior-interior shading, interior coverings, integral lighting and interior mass. The impacts of these design elements are describes in a matrix form and address the following window and building attributes: Airtightness, Water tightness, Natural ventilation, Insulation, Solar admittance, Daylighting, Visual separation, Acoustical isolation, Safety, Access/Egress, Ease of operation, Forced entry resistance, and Durability/Maintenance. The chart is designed for ready reference during the design process.

Sommario/riassunto

This paper argues that, in improving the efficient allocation of resources, financial sector development could dampen the appreciation effect of capital inflows. Using dynamic panel data techniques, the paper finds that the exchange rate appreciation effect of FDI inflows is indeed attenuated when financial and capital markets are larger and more active. The main implication of these results is that one of the main dangers associated with large capital inflows in emerging markets-the destabilization of macroeconomic management due to a sizeable appreciation of the real exchange rate-can be mitigated partly by developing a deep financial sector.
