Excerpt: OAO Gazprom (English: , Russian: Otkrytoye aktsionernoye obshchestvo "Gazprom") is the largest extractor of natural gas in the world and the largest Russian company. Gazprom was created in 1989 when the Ministry of Gas Industry of the Soviet Union transformed itself into a corporation, keeping all its assets intact. The company was later privatized in part, but currently the Russian government holds a controlling stake. In 2008, the company produced 549.7 billion cubic meters (BCM) of natural gas, amounting to 17% of the worldwide gas production. In addition, the company produced 32 million tons of oil and 10.9 million tons of gas condensate. Gazprom's activities accounted for 10% of Russia's gross domestic product in 2008. The major part of Gazprom's production fields are located around the Gulf of Ob in Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug in Western Siberia, while the Yamal Peninsula is expected to become the company's main gas producing region in the future. Gazprom possesses the largest gas transmission system in the world, with 158,200 kilometers of gas trunk lines. Major new pipeline projects include Nord ...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=320489 ...

Since 1992,Estonia has successfully maintained a currency board arrangement and this stability in the monetary policy has played an important role in helping the Estonian economy successfully overcome the problems associated with transition period whilemaintaining a pattern of steady and sustainable development. The objective of this thesis is to estimate the equilibrium exchange rate of the Estonian kroon over the period from 1995 until 2006. For this, behavioral equilibrium exchange rate (BEER) approach was used and the equilibrium real exchange rate calculation was based on such fundamentals like government expenditures, net foreign assets, terms of trade, foreign interest rate and the productivity difference ratio. The results of the thesis show that the misalignment of the kroon was in the range of ± 2 %, which can be considered a rather small deviation form the equilibrium. Exceptions to this are the beginning of the period, when the REER was undervalued by 5 %, and the Russian Crisis of 1998-1999, when overvaluation peaked at 13 %. Thus, REER has, on average, moved around its equilibrium value. ... Read more

Description:
This paper examines the mutually reinforcing interactions between exchange rate dynamics and technical trading strategies. I first show that technical trading systems have been quite profitable during the floating rate period. This profitability stems from the successful exploitation of exchange-rate trends and not from taking winning positions relatively frequently. I then show that technical models exert an excess demand pressure on currency markets. When these models produce trading signals, almost all signals are on the same side of the market, either buying or selling. When technical models maintain open positions they are either long or short. Initial exchange rate movements triggered by news or by stop-loss orders are strengthened by technical trading and are often transformed into a trend. This ''multiplier effect'' is reflected by the close relationship between technical trading signals and order flows. Hence, order flows are not only driven by (fundamental) news but also by technical trading, which reinforces exchange rate trends to which it responds. ... Read more

Description:
We use a dual currency money search model to study dollarization. Agents hold portfolios consisting of two currencies, one of which is risky. We use numerical methods to solve for the steady-state distributions of currency portfolios, transaction patterns, and value functions. As risk increases, agents increasingly use the safe currency as a medium of exchange-dollarization occurs. Furthermore, the safe currency trades for multiple units of the risky currency. This type of currency exchange, and the corresponding nominal exchange rate, are often observed in black market or unofficial currency exchange markets in developing countries. Due to decentralized trading, a distribution of exchange rates arises, whose mean and variance change in predictable ways when currency risk increases. ... Read more

From the author: This article assesses the case for pegging in East Asia by briefly surveying the recent literature on the choice of exchange rate regime. East Asia's experience with pegged exchange rates is examined using a new method for classifying exchange rate regimes based on exchange rate volatility. In contrast to other regions in the world, inflation under pegging is similar to that under floating, as are monetary and fiscal conditions. Growth tends to be higher under pegging, but the channels are unclear since pegging was not associated with greater competitiveness or lower real exchange rate volatility, and openness was not higher under pegging. Before 1997, pegging was associated with higher cumulative inflation, and similar cumulative growth around currency crisis episodes. Thus, differences in economic performance across pegged and floating regimes in East Asia are relatively modest, suggesting that traditional justifications for pegging -- such as greater inflation credibility -- may be less important in East Asia than elsewhere. However, the 1997 crises -- which were preceded by pegged regimes -- were followed by unprecedented contractions in output that suggest that the costs of pegging may have risen.
