Reminder: wiiw seminar, 4 February 2016

28 Jan '16

Dear Colleague, We cordially invite you to our wiiw seminar on Thursday, 4 February 2016, 5 pm wiiw, Vienna 6, Rahlgasse 3, Library 2nd floor The natural interest rate: concept, measurement and monetary policy implications Dubravko Mihaljek Head of Macroeconomic Analysis in the Monetary and Economic Department of the BIS Abstract Recent economic developments reinforce questions about what a new equilibrium in the global economy might look like. This is the case for both macroeconomic developments - how to interpret the continued weak global growth - and financial markets - how much stimulus near-zero interest rates provide, and how far policy rates in the United States and elsewhere have to rise during normalisation. Conceptually, the natural rate of interest could help answer these questions: it has traditionally been defined as the interest rate that would prevail when the economy is operating at potential and prices (inflation) are stable. Hence, knowing the level of the natural rate would allow central banks to assess how far current interest rates are from equilibrium. However, the natural rate is a multi-layered concept. Traditionally interpreted as a domestic macroeconomic equilibrium, in an open economy the natural rate can also be seen as representing a global macroeconomic equilibrium. In addition, the natural rate is unobservable and hence depends fundamentally on views about how the economy works. Various empirical approaches indicate that the natural rate has fallen in recent decades, although its current level may not be unprecedented.

Dutch health economic guidelines include a costing manual, which describes preferred research methodology for costing studies and reference prices to ensure high quality studies and comparability between study outcomes. The Dutch health economic guidelines have been updated and this paper describes the most important revisions of the costing manual compared to the previous version. Methods. An online survey was sent out to potential users of the costing manual to identify additional aspects for improvement. The costing manual was aligned with contemporary health economic guidelines. All methodology sections and parameter values needed for costing studies, particularly reference prices, were updated. An expert panel of health economists was consulted several times during the review process. The revised manual was reviewed by two member of the expert panel and by reviewers of the Dutch health care institute. Results. The majority of survey respondents was satisfied with the costing previous manual. Respondents asked for updated reference prices and improved methodological descriptions. Three categories of costs were distinguished: 1) costs within the health care sector; 2) patient and family costs; and 3) costs in other sectors. Methodological descriptions and reference prices were updated to reflect 2014 values. Upon request of survey respondents, reference prices for diagnostic procedures and nurse practitioners were included in the updated costing manual. Conclusions. The update further increased feasibility of the costing manual to improve quality and comparability of costing studies in economic evaluations in health care. http://meduniwien.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6b3c970a0f040bf1af8eb9… For further information and registration (free) please contact: Eva Tunkel Email: primhe(a)meduniwien.ac.at (mailto:primhe@meduniwien.ac.at?subject=PriMHE) Tel: +43 1 40160 34842 Copyright © 2015 Medical University of Vienna, Centre for Public Health, Department of Health Economics.
