We present and analyze a pricing algorithm based on sparse wavelet space discretizations of order p greater than or equal to 1 in (S, y) and on hp-discontinuous Galerkin time-stepping with geometric step size reduction towards maturity T. Wavelet preconditioners adapted to the volatility models for a Generalized Minimum Residual method (GMRES) solver allow us to price contracts at all maturities 0 less than t less than or equal to T and all spot prices for a given strike K in essentially O(N) memory and work with accuracy of essentially O(N-p), a performance comparable to that of the best Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based pricing methods for constant volatility models (where essentially means up to powers of log N and (log h), respectively).","PeriodicalId":22276,"journal":{"name":"The annual research report","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87339125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A portfolio of countries with low price-to-book ratios significantly outperforms a portfolio of high price-to-book countries. Global risk factors cannot explain this outperformance. Next we measure a number of macroeconomic variables of the countries in the long and short value portfolios, as a proxy for local risk factors. We find that the countries in the low price-to-book portfolio on average have significantly lower economic growth, higher growth volatility, higher inflation, more overvalued currencies and more volatile currencies, compared to the high price-to-book portfolio. After portfolio formation, the difference in economic fundamentals between the high and low price-to-book portfolios decreases significantly, which indicates that investors might be extrapolating past economic trends too far into the future.","PeriodicalId":22276,"journal":{"name":"The annual research report","volume":"41 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86371045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The thesis consists of a behavioural component, which explains why lowereducated men are not attracted and do not get access to part-time jobs, and an institutionalcomponent, which explains why the labour market position of lower educated men in theNetherlands has deteriorated relatively rapidly during the period 1975-1991. The thesis isunderpinned by an empirical analysis of labour market participation of lower educated maleworkers in part-time and full-time jobs. Competing theses, such as upgrading of the job structure,displacement by better educated workers and sector shift from manufacturing to services areempirically tested, but prove to be less informative explanations of the deteriorated labour marketposition of lower educated men than the explanation of the growth of part-time jobs.","PeriodicalId":22276,"journal":{"name":"The annual research report","volume":"16 1","pages":"175-193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89787745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Dynamic Programming (DP) method is often used for matching between a musical score and its performance. However, the DP does not achieve a high matching rate since the ordering of attack of the notes in a chord is not always the same and there are difficult passages of right and left hand performances. Furthermore the score does not define the number of iterations of trills. This paper addresses the process of matching two or more MIDI performance data involving DP along with linear interpolation to maximize the collation between the score and the performance. The improved DP method is also extended to match performances including trills.","PeriodicalId":22276,"journal":{"name":"The annual research report","volume":"49 1","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83657694","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
