    2014 was a unique year for pro-wrestling, one that will undoubtedly be viewed as historically significant in years to follow. Whether it is to be reflected upon positively or negatively is not only highly subjective, but also context-specific with major occurrences transpiring across the pro-wrestling world over the last 12 months, each with its own strong, and at times far reaching, consequences. The WWE launched its much awaited Network, New Japan continued to expand, CMLL booked lucha's biggest match in well over a decade, culminating in the country's first million dollar gate, TNA teetered more precariously on the brink of death than perhaps ever before, Daniel Bryan won the WWE's top prize, Dragon Gate and DDT saw continued success before their loyal niche audiences, Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk departed the WWE with one ending up in the most unexpected of places, a developing and divergent style produced some of the best indie matches of the year, the European scene flourished, the Shield disbanded, Batista returned, Daniel Bryan relinquished his championship, and the Undertaker's streak came to an unexpected and dramatic end. These are but some of the happenings, which made 2014 the year that it was, and it is in this year-book that we look to not only recap all of these events and more, but also contemplate their relevance to the greater pro-wrestling landscape, both for 2015 and beyond. It should be stated that this year-book was inspired by the DKP Annuals that were released in 2011 and 2012, in fact, it was the absence of a 2013 annual that inspired us to produce a year-book for 2014.

  • Endogenous Exchange Rate Fluctuations Under the Flexible Exchange Rate Regime
    This PDF is a selection from an out-of-print volume from the National Bureau of Economic Research Volume Title: Macroeconomic Linkage: Savings, Exchange Rates, and Capital Flows, NBER-EASE Volume 3 Volume Author/Editor: Takatoshi Ito and Anne Krueger, editors Volume Publisher: University of Chicago Press Volume ISBN: 0-226-38669-4 Volume URL: http://www.nber.org/books/ito_94-1 Conference Date: June 17-19, 1992 Publication Date: January 1994 Chapter Title: Endogenous Exchange Rate Fluctuations under the Flexible Exchange Rate Regime Chapter Author: Shin-ichi Fukuda Chapter URL: http://www.nber.org/chapters/c8533 Chapter pages in book: (p. 203 - 225) 8 Endogenous Exchange Rate Fluctuations under the Flexible Exchange Rate Regime Shin-ichi Fukuda 8.1 Introduction In the past two decades, we have experienced in the foreign exchange mar- kets significant temporary fluctuations in the exchange rates of major currenc- ies. For example, by plotting the movements of the yeddollar exchange rate after 1973, we can see a clear downward trend in this exchange rate in the long run. However, we can also see that the trend was not monotonic in the short run and that there were significant temporary fluctuations around the trend (see fig. 8.1). The purpose of this paper is to investigate why the exchange rate shows such significant temporary fluctuations. The model of the following analysis is based on a model of money in the utility function with liquidity-in- advance. Following Fukuda (1990), we investigate the dynamic properties of a small open economy version of this monetary model. The methodology used in the following analysis is an application of the theory of “chaos.” In the previous literature, Benhabib and Day (1982), Day (1982, 1983), and Stutzer (1980) are the first attempts to study chaotic phe- nomena in economic models.
