  • Risk, Uncertainty and Monetary Policy
    Risk, Uncertainty and Monetary Policy Speech given by Charles Bean, Executive Director and Chief Economist of the Bank of England To Dow Jones, at City Club, Old Broad Street 31 October 2007 1 All speeches are available online at www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/Pages/speeches/default.aspx 1 Good evening! One of former US Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld’s most noted musings runs thus: “…as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know.” For this rumination, Rumsfeld was awarded a ‘Foot in Mouth’ award from the Plain English Campaign. But in truth, it represents one of the pithier encapsulations of the economists’ distinction between risk and uncertainty of which I am aware. Risk applies to those random events to which one can attach probabilities, such as the number of times a fair coin comes up heads in 100 tosses. These are the ‘known unknowns’. In contrast, uncertainty – or more accurately Knightian uncertainty, after the Chicago economist Frank Knight – applies to random events to which it is difficult to attach probabilities, say because we have no previous experience of them or do not understand enough about their nature. An example might be the number of coins in this building right now. These are the ‘unknown unknowns’. The Monetary Policy Committee faces both sorts of randomness when it sets interest rates each month.

  • The Knowns and the Known Unknowns
    The Knowns and the Known Unknowns of Capital Requirements for Market Risks 20 June 2016 Jean-Paul Laurent1 Université Paris 1 Panthéon – Sorbonne, PRISM Sorbonne & Labex ReFi Abstract A new era is beginning for bank intermediation in financial markets. Under the leadership of the Trading Book Group of the Basel Committee, the calculation of risk weighted assets (RWAs) associated with market and trading book risks is being upended. The present reforms are a subtle compromise. On the one hand, they perpetuate the autonomous function for monitoring risks within banks, under the control of bank supervisors. On the other hand, they set up a safety net to avoid any drift linked to self-regulation. The emphasis here is placed on the uncertainties linked to the final calibration of the new framework and the implications for economic banking models and market intermediation. The article stresses operational issues linked to piloting this transformation process for regulated banks. Introduction A new era is beginning for bank intermediation in financial markets. Under the leadership of the Trading Book Group of the Basel Committee, the calculation of risk weighted assets (RWAs) associated with market and trading book risks is being upended. The Fundamental Review of the Trading Book (FRTB) led to the publication of a set rules in January 2016.2 It should be recalled that risk weighted assets are the denominator of the solvency ratio. In the first part of this text, the FRTB is situated in the vast movement that has reinforced regulatory and prudential requirements. The present reforms are a subtle compromise. On the one hand, they perpetuate the autonomous function for monitoring risks within banks, under the control of bank supervisors.

    Agenda & List of Participants Land Economy for Sustainability Dialogue Series Rethinking the Land Economy: Keeping 1.5C in Sight 0900- 0930 Welcome and introduction This session will welcome participants and introduce the goals and objectives of this meeting, designed as a collective thinking session to explore opportunities for emissions reduction from the land-based sectors. It will consider the case for a shared strategy that complements technical know- how in tackling challenges associated with the political economy of structural transformation for the land economy. It will also discuss what constitutes success by 2020 and 2030. 0930 – 1100 Session 1: Setting the baseline Key questions to be addressed: • What is the scale of the challenge? • What do we understand in terms of feasibility of different options? • What are the complexities and barriers? This session will open with three short presentations • Land-based emissions reductions and the 1.5C challenge • Competition for land, food and water: implications of current trends • Obstacles and trade-offs The presentations will be followed by a facilitated discussion on the knowledge gaps and the known unknowns, as well as known barriers. 1120 – 1300 Mapping key opportunities and no-regret options This session will discuss existing and new opportunities for scaling land- based emissions reductions, based not only on mitigation potential but also wider social and environmental considerations including risks and co- benefits. It will begin with short remarks on the following ‘wedges’: • sustainable agricultural practice; • negative emissions; • waste and losses; • demand side interventions including sustainable and healthy diets and behavioural shifts. The discussion will focus on identifying a set of no-regret options that could be scaled immediately.

  • FTI Outlook Email Template;
    UK Political Analysis rd By Tim Hames, Senior Adviser | 23 December 2020 Mutant Menace. A huge new difficulty in dealing with the virus crisis. The speed of events in this crisis never ceases to astonish. As late as Friday morning, the core team of ministers and officials dealing with COVID-19 were aware that they might need to tighten policy to contain the virus outbreak, but thought that such a decision could await the end of the Christmas break and might be relatively incremental in character. A day later, they found themselves placing a vast swathe of the population under a new Tier Four regime, which essentially duplicates the November lockdown in England, curtailling Christmas in that part of the country and cutting festivities back severely elsewhere, as a response to a new mutated form of the virus which appeared to explain the surge in virus cases in London, the South East and the East of England. The UK, having proudly announced that it was leading the world in terms of both regulatory approval and then the deployment of a vaccine, found itself with an unwanted new first. This is a setback of a potentially seismic order. Ministers and officials simply cannot know how damaging the arrival of the new strain of the virus will prove to be, or how quickly scientists can start to provide answers which would allow policy to be recast in order to best manage what was already an immense prospective challenge, namely minimising the number of new infection cases while maximising the speed of the vaccination drive.

  • A Mixed Methods Study on Medicines Information Needs and Challenges in New Zealand General Practice Chloë Campbell1,2,3*, Rhiannon Braund1,4 and Caroline Morris2
    Campbell et al. BMC Fam Pract (2021) 22:150 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12875-021-01451-7 RESEARCH Open Access A mixed methods study on medicines information needs and challenges in New Zealand general practice Chloë Campbell1,2,3*, Rhiannon Braund1,4 and Caroline Morris2 Abstract Background: Medicines are central to healthcare in aging populations with chronic multi-morbidity. Their safe and efective use relies on a large and constantly increasing knowledge base. Despite the current era of unprecedented access to information, there is evidence that unmet information needs remain an issue in clinical practice. Unmet medicines information needs may contribute to sub-optimal use of medicines and patient harm. Little is known about medicines information needs in the primary care setting. The aim of this study was to investigate the nature of medicines information needs in routine general practice and understand the challenges and infuences on the information-seeking behaviour of general practitioners. Methods: A mixed methods study involving 18 New Zealand general practitioner participants was undertaken. Quantitative data were collected to characterize the medicines information needs arising during 642 consultations conducted by the participants. Qualitative data regarding participant views on their medicines information needs, resources used, challenges to meeting the needs and potential solutions were collected by semi-structured interview. Integration occurred by comparison of results from each method. Results: Of 642 consultations, 11% (n 73/642) featured at least one medicines information need. The needs spanned 14 diferent categories with dosing= the most frequent (26%) followed by side efects (15%) and drug inter- actions (14%). Two main themes describing the nature of general practitioners’ medicines information needs were identifed from the qualitative data: a ‘common core’ related to medicine dose, side efects and interactions and a ‘perplexing periphery’.
