Greeney Max Gillmanz Mark N. Harrisx Christopher Spencer{ September 2013 Abstract We propose a Tempered Ordered Probit (TOP) model. Our contribution lies not only in explicitly accounting for an excessive number of observations in a given choice category - as is the case in the standard literature on in‡ated models; rather, we introduce a new econometric model which nests the recently developed Middle In‡ated Ordered Probit (MIOP) models of Bagozzi and Mukherjee (2012) and Brooks, Harris, and Spencer (2012) as a special case, and further, can be used as a speci…cation test of the MIOP, where the implicit test is described as being one of symmetry versus asymmetry. In our application, which exploits a panel data-set containing the votes of Bank of England Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members, we show that the TOP model a¤ords the econometrician considerable ‡exibility with respect to modelling the impact of di¤erent forms of uncertainty on interest rate decisions. Our …ndings, we argue, reveal MPC members’ asymmetric attitudes towards uncertainty and the changeability of interest rates. Keywords: Monetary policy committee, voting, discrete data, uncertainty, tempered equations.

  • RNS Number : 9235L London Stock Exchange Group PLC 24 April 2018 LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GROUP PLC Annual General Meeting Tuesday
    RNS Number : 9235L London Stock Exchange Group PLC 24 April 2018 LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE GROUP PLC Annual General Meeting Tuesday 24 April 2018 Chairman's statement by Donald Brydon I am pleased to say that the Group delivered another strong financial performance in 2017. We have continued successfully to execute our strategy to grow and diversify, operating on an Open Access basis in partnership with our customers. We are strategically, operationally and financially well positioned to capitalise on a range of opportunities ahead, and to continue to drive returns for shareholders. Against a backdrop of ever evolving macroeconomic, regulatory and political challenges, including Brexit, LSEG continues to progress strongly. The recently implemented MiFID II regulation, which has embedded Open Access as a key principle in financial markets, also offers opportunities as it is a model under which we have been operating for a number of years. Our strategic ambitions have remained steadfast. We are committed to delivering best in class capabilities, driving global growth and developing our customer partnership approach, whilst delivering the financial targets we have set for the next two years. This was clearly demonstrated in our 2017 results, with growth across all of our core business pillars - Intellectual Property; Risk and Balance Sheet Management; and Capital Formation. We have also remained focused on both the organic and inorganic growth of our business divisions, with a number of selective acquisitions including The Yield Book from Citi and the increased shareholding in LCH. For 2017, total continuing income rose to £1.95bn, up 18%, and adjusted operating profit increased to £812m.

  • Roundtable 4
    BRIEFING PAPER BRIEFING Female Founders forum: Roundtable 4 FOREWORD Britain is in the throes of an entrepreneurial revolution, with over half a million companies launched here each year. While we are home to thousands of inspiring smaller businesses, the challenge now is to ensure that the best of these businesses have the environment and the support they need to scale and grow. Despite today’s challenging macroeconomic conditions, we are confident in the pipeline of growing companies looking to float on London Stock Exchange this year. We work closely with a vibrant community of investors, advisory experts and large corporates to ensure that the UK is a competitive environment in which to grow a business for the long term. We spend a significant amount of time speaking to management teams and their investors about their capital raising strategies, explaining the fundraising options available to them and how they might prepare the business to secure future financing. Investors, fundamentally, are looking for well-prepared management teams who have a strong business vision. Our advice would always be to prepare as early as possible for an IPO and not be afraid to ask questions about the process. Our ELITE programme, which launched in the UK three years ago, has helped almost 90 UK companies prepare for growth and investment. The 18-month programme works with management teams to educate and guide them on best practice and securing growth financing, talent management and investor engagement. The community includes some impressive female entrepreneurs among its members – from Unruly co-founder Sarah Wood to Susan Rogerson (Ethical Property Company) and Virginie Charles-Dear (toucanBox).

  • Minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee Meeting Held on 4 and 5 May 2011
    Publication date: 18 May 2011 MINUTES OF THE MONETARY POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING 4 AND 5 MAY 2011 These are the minutes of the Monetary Policy Committee meeting held on 4 and 5 May 2011. They are also available on the Internet http://www.bankofengland.co.uk/publications/minutes/mpc/pdf/2011/mpc1105.pdf The Bank of England Act 1998 gives the Bank of England operational responsibility for setting interest rates to meet the Government’s inflation target. Operational decisions are taken by the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee. The Committee meets on a regular monthly basis and minutes of its meetings are released on the Wednesday of the second week after the meeting takes place. Accordingly, the minutes of the Committee meeting to be held on 8 and 9 June will be published on 22 June 2011. MINUTES OF THE MONETARY POLICY COMMITTEE MEETING HELD ON 4 AND 5 MAY 2011 1 Before turning to its immediate policy decision, and against the background of its latest projections for output and inflation, the Committee discussed financial market developments; the international economy; money, credit, demand and output; and supply, costs and prices. Financial markets 2 Markets had generally been stable on the month, against a backdrop of relatively thin trading conditions during the holiday periods. 3 Implied market expectations of the point at which Bank Rate would begin to rise had been pushed back, partly in response to data releases, notably the March CPI outturn. Information derived from overnight index swaps indicated that the market yield curve had fully priced in a 25 basis point increase in Bank Rate by early 2012.

In January, at the start of the Society’s 65th year, we changed our name from Society of Business Economists (SBE) to Society of Professional Economists (SPE). There were two primary reasons why we made this change: 1. To broaden our appeal to a wider and more diverse range of economists. I am pleased to report that the Society’s membership has risen by more than 10% in the 10 months since we made the change and that it continues to grow rapidly. 2. To mark the Society’s expansion into the area of professional development. At the start of this year we launched a new professional development programme for economists, which is being run by the Society’s Head of Professional Development, Andy Ross. Through the hard work of Andy and his team, the popularity of these courses has grown steadily through the year. Meanwhile, the programme of events that the Society is holding has never been stronger. Since the start of the 2017‐2018 financial year, the Society has hosted three central bank governors, three deputy governors, the Chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility, the Chief Economic Advisor to HM Treasury and a host of economics professors and other experts. We have heard speakers discussing topics ranging from Brexit to Intergenerational Fairness and from the UK’s long‐run economic performance to the outlook for the housing market.

  • Brexit and the City
    Brexit and the City Saying No to the Princes of Europe: The City of London as a World Financial Centre following Brexit Or Passport to Pimlico: The City of London’s post-Brexit future depending on whether it is located inside or outside Pimlico or even possibly Latvia Professor David Blake* Cass Business School City University of London [email protected] March 2017 [v10] * I am most grateful to Kevin Dowd, Tim Congdon, Daniel Corrigan, Martin Howe QC, Laurence Jones, Edgar Miller and Patrick Minford for invaluable discussions and support during the preparation of this paper. Highlights On 23 June 2016, the British people voted to leave the EU. The prime minister’s Lancaster House speech on 17 January 2017 made it very clear that this meant also leaving the single market, the customs union and the European Economic Area, membership of which means accepting freedom of movement. This has powerful implications for the City: • It is unlikely that business with the EU27 will be conducted via passports in future. • Instead, and depending on the degree of co-operation from the EU27, the City should plan its future operations using either: o a dual regulatory regime, based on a third-party expanded equivalence model with guarantees about how equivalence will be granted and removed, or o the World Financial Centre model where the City ‘goes it alone’. • Transitional arrangements will also depend on the degree of co-operation from the EU27. It is in everybody’s interests that any transitional arrangements are kept as short term as possible, no longer than is needed to bridge the gap between the UK’s exit from the EU and the conclusion of any formal long-term trading agreement with the EU.
