Using a simple forward-looking policy rule and an assessment of inflation reports, we provide a new methodology for the empirical evaluation of consistency in central bank communication. We find that the three communication tools-inflation targets, inflation forecasts, and verbal assessments of inflation factors contained in quarterly inflation reports-provided a consistent message in five out of six observations in our 2000-05 sample of Chile, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Thailand, and Sweden.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2008/234Inflation (Finance)ForecastingEconometric modelsMonetary policyEconometric modelsBanks and banking, CentralEconometric modelsBankingimfBanks and BankingimfCentral bank policy rateimfCommunications in revenue administrationimfDeflationimfEconomic ForecastingimfEconomic forecastingimfForecasting and Other Model ApplicationsimfForecastingimfInflation targetingimfInflationimfInterest ratesimfInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and EffectsimfMacroeconomicsimfMonetary economicsimfMonetary PolicyimfMonetary policyimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfPrice LevelimfPricesimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfRevenueimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfPoland, Republic ofimfInflation (Finance)ForecastingEconometric models.Monetary policyEconometric models.Banks and banking, CentralEconometric models.BankingBanks and BankingCentral bank policy rateCommunications in revenue administrationDeflationEconomic ForecastingEconomic forecastingForecasting and Other Model ApplicationsForecastingInflation targetingInflationInterest ratesInterest Rates: Determination, Term Structure, and EffectsMacroeconomicsMonetary economicsMonetary PolicyMonetary policyMoney and Monetary PolicyPrice LevelPricesPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceRevenueTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: General332.11Smídková Katerina862709Bulir Ales862712Kotlán Viktor1816116Navrátil David1816117DcWaIMFBOOK9910958581103321Inflation Targeting and Communication4371792UNINA04751nam 22007213u 450 991100670630332120230120004126.01-280-37208-797866103720891-84569-015-X1-59124-730-6(CKB)1000000000000278(EBL)1640238(SSID)ssj0000072703(PQKBManifestationID)11123442(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000072703(PQKBWorkID)10102445(PQKB)10353434(MiAaPQ)EBC1640238(EXLCZ)99100000000000027820140303d1999|||| u|| |engur|n|---|||||txtccrPhysical Testing of TextilesBurlington Elsevier Science19991 online resource (322 p.)Woodhead Publishing Series in TextilesDescription based upon print version of record.1-85573-367-6 Front Cover; Physical Testing of Textiles; Copyright Page; Table of Contents; Preface; Acknowledgements; Chapter 1.

After an introductory explanation of sampling and measurement, the author explores the effects of moisture on textiles, then goes on to discuss fibre dimension, yarn tests for linear density, twist, evenness and hairiness, tensile strength, and dimensional stability and serviceability. Also covered are aspects of comfort and fabric handle, colour fastness and quality assurance.
