Glossary of Mayo and Spanish Terms --Notes --Works Cited --IndexThe Mayos, an indigenous people of northwestern Mexico, live in small towns spread over southern Sonora and northern Sinaloa, lands of remarkable biological diversity. Traditional Mayo knowledge is quickly being lost as this culture becomes absorbed into modern Mexico. Moreover, as big agriculture spreads into the region, the natural biodiversity of these lands is also rapidly disappearing. This engaging and accessible ethnobotany, based on hundreds of interviews with the Mayos and illustrated with the authors' strikingly beautiful photographs, helps preserve our knowledge of both an indigenous culture and an endangered environment. This book contains a comprehensive description of northwest Mexico's tropical deciduous forests and thornscrub on the traditional Mayo lands reaching from the Sea of Cortés to the foothills of the Sierra Madre. The first half of the book is a highly readable account of the climate, geology, and vegetation of the region. The authors also provide a valuable history of the people, their language, culture, festival traditions, and plant use. The second half of the book is an annotated list of plants presenting the authors' detailed findings on plant use in Mayo culture.Mayo IndiansEthnobotanyEthnobotanyMexicoSonora (State)EthnobotanyMexicoSinaloa (State)Mayo IndiansEthnobotany.EthnobotanyEthnobotany581.6/0972/17Yetman David1941-1919979Van Devender Thomas R1920719MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911095738003321Mayo ethnobotany4666651UNINA05343oam 22014054 450 991108986460332120260213224736.0978661388227197814623234181462323413978145270966614527096619781283569828128356982597814519205121451920512(CKB)3360000000445695(EBL)3012555(SSID)ssj0001474902(PQKBManifestationID)11964638(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001474902(PQKBWorkID)11472513(PQKB)10189227(OCoLC)535146966(MiAaPQ)EBC3012555(IMF)WPIEE2502003(IMF)WPIEA2502003WPIEA2502003(EXLCZ)99336000000044569520020129d2003 uf 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrDeterminants of Deflation in Hong Kong SAR /Papa N'Diaye1st ed.Washington, D.C. :International Monetary Fund,2003.1 online resource (28 p.)IMF Working PapersCover title."December 2003"--Caption.9781451875911 1451875916 Includes bibliographical references (p. 27).""Contents""; ""I.

CONCLUSION""; ""APPENDIX""; ""References""This paper presents a comprehensive econometric analysis of the determinants of deflation in Hong Kong SAR. The analysis helps to determine the relative contributions of factors such as increased productivity, scarce money supply, and excess capacity in determining deflation. The main conclusion is that the effects of permanent shocks, such as productivity shocks and shocks related to changes in the money supply and price convergence with trading partners, have become more important in explaining deflation. In addition, the effects of temporary shifts in aggregate demand have been perpetuated by negative wealth and balance-sheet effects in the corporate and household sectors arising from asset-price declines over the past five years.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2003/250Deflation (Finance)ChinaHong KongEconometric modelsBusiness cyclesAsset pricesimfCentral Banks and Their PoliciesimfConsumer price indexesimfCreditimfDeflationimfDiffusion ProcessesimfDynamic Quantile RegressionsimfDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsimfIndustrial productivityimfInflationimfMacroeconomicsimfMacroeconomics: ProductionimfMonetary baseimfMonetary economicsimfMonetary PolicyimfMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralimfMoney and Monetary PolicyimfMoney MultipliersimfMoney SupplyimfMoney supplyimfMoneyimfPrice indexesimfPrice LevelimfPricesimfProduction and Operations ManagementimfProductionimfProductivityimfState Space ModelsimfTime-Series ModelsimfHong Kong (China)Economic conditionsEconometric modelsHong Kong (China)Economic policyEconometric modelsHong Kong Special Administrative Region, People's Republic of ChinaimfDeflation (Finance)Econometric models.Business cycles.Asset pricesCentral Banks and Their PoliciesConsumer price indexesCreditDeflationDiffusion ProcessesDynamic Quantile RegressionsDynamic Treatment Effect ModelsIndustrial productivityInflationMacroeconomicsMacroeconomics: ProductionMonetary baseMonetary economicsMonetary PolicyMonetary Policy, Central Banking, and the Supply of Money and Credit: GeneralMoney and Monetary PolicyMoney MultipliersMoney SupplyMoney supplyMoneyPrice indexesPrice LevelPricesProduction and Operations ManagementProductionProductivityState Space ModelsTime-Series ModelsN'Diaye Papa1955690International Monetary Fund.Asia and Pacific Department.DcWaIMFBOOK9911089864603321Determinants of Deflation in Hong Kong SAR4781702UNINA
