While economic contractions or expansions may be triggered by external shocks, the magnitude and duration of either is determined by the soundness of economic policy and the efficacy of institutions.

I'm thinking of Lorenz contractions and Einsteinian relativity.

Future expansions might include other locations and conference related costs.

And after six months, the nerves grew in well, and you could see strong contractions.

But apart from that, everything else goes through contractions of muscles.

At 14 minutes, I had these awful contractions, like this urge to breathe.

Third, whereas output or employment stabilization have often been downplayed, it is increasingly acknowledged that minimizing or avoiding major economic contractions should be one of the most important long term goals of policy since the social and economic costs of those contractions can be devastating.

One night, when Susan was seven months pregnant, she started to experience contractions and was rushed to the emergency room.

So think about communication speech, gestures, writing, sign language they're all mediated through contractions of your muscles.

Achieving greater transparency in the administration of tariff quotas and more significant expansions of these quotas would further support exports.

We're taking over now, doing work that ranges in scale from small scale repairs to major renovations and major facility expansions.

A number of expansions and changes took place during the past year that positioned the programme to expect an even more productive year in 1998.

Fixed investment in 1997 is likely to have fallen 5 per cent in the Russian Federation and 15 per cent in Ukraine, owing largely to sharp contractions in State funding of investment.

UNMIBH apos s vehicle holdings have been revised to reflect the number of vehicles transferred from the United Nations Peace Forces headquarters (UNPF) and the increases resulting from its two expansions.

I'm going to show you a movie simulation 16 powers of 10 faster than real time, which shows a patch of the universe where the expansions have subtracted out.

Numerous studies show that government spending multipliers, even when large at the ZLB, shrink rapidly, then turn negative and may even be negative during economic expansions and when households expect higher taxes beyond the ZLB period.

Expansions usually start collapsing when labor gets too scarce and too expensive. But the current expansion is unusual in that, due to unique (in the modern era) circumstances, labor constraints are not the problem.

If you're an expectant parent, what about the ability to monitor, continuously, fetal heart rate, or intrauterine contractions, and not having to worry so much that things are fine as the pregnancy, and moving over into the time of delivery?

But they should think again. With closely integrated global financial markets and trading networks, financial crises and economic contractions in the developed economies, which still account for nearly 60 of the world s GDP, will inevitably undermine emerging market countries prosperity.

It is also leading to austerity taxes are increasing and government spending is falling at the local and state level around the country. A difficult fiscal conversation still lies ahead at the federal level, but cuts and contractions of various types seem likely.

The management of SDS at the Secretariat and the United Nations Logistics Base at Brindisi, Italy (UNLB) is fully functional the procurement of SDS equipment and materials has been completed, and stocks have already been intensively utilized to support multiple mission start ups and expansions.

Depressions, recessions, contractions call them what you will occur because the private sector spends less than it did previously. This means that its income falls, because spending by one firm or household is income for another.

In the 1900s, early 1900s gynecologists, a lot of gynecologists believed that when a woman has an orgasm the contractions serve to suck the semen up through the cervix and sort of deliver it really quickly to the egg, thereby upping the odds of conception.

But the metamorphosis tends to go hand in hand with localized monetary contractions that exacerbate the correlated risk of sovereign default and bank failures. In Spain, as in Greece before it, the monetary squeeze has become chronic as banks run short of ECB eligible collateral.

Asia has led the way, but the past five years have been the best Latin American and Africa have enjoyed in decades. Broad based commodity shortages often begin to emerge at the end of long global expansions, and in this respect, the present boom is no different.

In past decades, large expansions of bank reserves caused lending surges that increased the money supply and fueled inflationary spending growth. But now commercial banks are willing to hold their excess reserves at the Fed, because the Fed now pays interest on those deposits.

Some were pushed there by the high cost of containing the damage from banks irresponsible behavior. Facing immediate credit rationing and large output contractions, they could be stabilized only by exceptional official financing from abroad, and, in some extreme cases, by defaulting on past commitments (including to bondholders and, most recently, bank depositors).

I hope so, and certainly the Obama administration is a breath of fresh air after the stunning ineptness of the Bush Cheney years. But governments all over the world are always convinced that their expansions can be substantially financed by efficiency gains, and that dream usually proves chimerical.

Tariff quotas have been opened in the agricultural sector at lower or even zero duties, but these quotas rarely create substantial trading opportunities for new exporters, as expansions of quotas over the implementation period are small and current access quotas have often been allocated to traditional suppliers.

However, in the Fed s defense, low interest rates were needed to maintain the expansion. In effect, the new cycle locks the Fed into an unstable stance whereby it must prevent asset price declines to avert recession, yet must also promote asset bubbles to sustain expansions.

According to the Secretary General, the two year project of establishing strategic deployment stocks is effectively completed and the strategic deployment stocks management in the Secretariat and the Base is fully functional the procurement of strategic deployment stocks equipment and materials has been completed, and strategic deployment stocks has already been intensively utilized to support many mission start ups and expansions.

The political temptation is always there to resort to inappropriate monetary expansions that bring temporary relief at the expense of harming longer term growth. Institutional independence has allowed the central bank to conduct its monetary policy in a consistent manner, insulated from short term political influences.

But the room for fiscal policy is wider, so governments must do two things urgently. First, in countries in which there is fiscal space, they must announce credible fiscal expansions we the IMF believe that, as a whole, a global fiscal expansion about 2 of world GDP is both feasible and appropriate.

The catch is that the multiplier turns negative by year two extra government spending contracts, rather than expands, medium term and long term economic growth. Moreover, the short run effect is lower in highly indebted countries, and can even be negative during economic expansions if households and firms, expecting higher taxes to pay for future spending, save, rather than spend, the cash.

It is clear that there is a significant danger that the current legislation would add substantially to future US deficits and establish a precedent for even more expensive expansions of health care in the future. This would come on top of the currently projected fiscal deficits in both the near term and over the coming decade and before America s demographic shift substantially raises the cost of Social Security and Medicare.

Even so, the threat to financial stability is possibly even graver today than it was in 2008, as the capacity of Western European governments to backstop banking systems is clearly reaching its limits. Allowing foreign banks subsidiaries to become orphaned amid a worsening crisis in home countries would undermine confidence in emerging Europe s financial systems, which could trigger asset price declines and precipitous contractions in credit.

Normally, the multipliers applied to expansions in government purchases are much less than 1.5, because the central bank does not maintain constant monetary conditions as government spending expands, but rather acts to keep the economy on track to meet the monetary authority s inflation target. A more usual multiplier is the monetary policy offset multiplier of 0.5 or zero.
