Regime changes in monetary policy by Addo, Samuel

“…The results suggest that an unexpected monetary policy shock and its variances account for a smaller proportion of macroeconomic fluctuations in the South African economy compared to external shocks and its variances in the form of exports, import cost inflation, risk premia, preference and technology changes. Chapter five consists of an investigation into central bank credibility by simulating a Markov-switching Bayesian vector autoregression model with time-varying transition probabilities. …”

A granular flow model of an annular shear cell by Bremner, Sherry

“…The key ingredients (velocity, shear rate and volume fraction distributions) to the granular ow model are extracted from experiments using Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT), as well as Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations. 5mm glass beads were used to fill an annulus 51mm wide. …”
