The ability of central banks to differentiate between permanent & transitory price movements is critical for the conduct of monetary policy. The importance of gauging the persistence of price changes has led to the development of measures of underlying, or ¿core,¿ inflation that are designed to remove transitory price changes from aggregate inflation data. This article examines several proposed measures of core inflation -- the ex food & energy series, an ex energy series, a weighted median series, & an exponentially smoothed series -- to identify a ¿best¿ measure. Evaluates the measures¿ performance according to criteria such as ease of design, & accuracy in tracking trend inflation. Charts & tables.
In March 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) began reconsidering the accounting standard for equity-based compensation. The Board released an exposure draft for a revised standard on Mar. 31, 2004. That revised standard would require firms to recognize the fair value of employee stock options (ESO) as an expense, as was first proposed by FASB more than 10 years ago. This paper assesses whether, under the current accounting standard, firms that grant ESO without recognizing an expense overstate their income. Presents the relevant issues, describes the current standard for ESO, compares the intrinsic value & fair value methods of measure., & weighs the potential economic effects of revising the standard.

Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a new idea in farming which has been gaining momentum since its introduction to the U.S. from Europe in the mid-1980s. Consumers interested in safe food & farmers seeking stable markets for their crops join together in economic partnership. CSA consists of a community of individuals who pledge support to a farm operation so that the farmland becomes the community¿s farm, with the growers & consumers providing mutual support & sharing the risks & benefits of food production. All CSAs have a shared commitment to building a more local & equitable agricultural system. This bibliography & resource guide contains a selection of writings that document the CSA movement in the U.S.
According to the Dept. of Defense (DoD), overhead costs represent roughly 1/3 of the price that DoD pays for its weapon systems (in 1991). In 1984, the Deputy Sec. of Defense emphasized the need for DoD to reduce overhead costs by using evaluation tools such as overhead should-cost reviews, cost-monitoring reviews & operations audits, each of which measures the economy & efficiency of contractors¿ operations. This report reviews these three analytical tools. The objective was to determine the extent to which DoD used them to evaluate the economy & efficiency of contractors¿ overhead costs.

Each year, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Nat. Immunization Program, in partnership with CDC¿s Nat. Center for Health Statistics, conducts the Nat. Immunization Survey (NIS) within all 50 states, District of Columbia, & selected geographic areas within the states. Since July 2001, breastfeeding questions have been asked on the NIS to assess the population¿s breastfeeding practices. Children are 19 to 35 months old at the time of the interview. This report presents nat. trends in breastfeeding practices for children born 1999-2004. The information on children born in 2004 is from interviews conducted through Dec. of 2006. Includes socio-demographic charts, tables & maps for birth years 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, & 2004.
Two investigators joined forces to test an intervention to improve services for patients with co-occurring mental disorders. The researchers¿ applied theoretical understanding & the counselors¿ intimacy with patient responses combined to strengthen the intervention. However, counselors¿ discomfort with some protocols & changes reflecting the dynamic nature of the community-based research setting complicated the study execution & interpretation. The intervention improved the counselors¿ ability to identify & respond appropriately to patients¿ co-occurring disorders. The experience also demonstrated the advisability of consulting collaboratively with clinic staff during the planning of studies & the pre-testing of study protocols. Chart.
This guide is designed to help people understand the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) & the responsibility it gives to the fed. financial supervisory agencies to encourage financial institutions to reinvest in the local communities where they do business.

Hedge funds have become important players in the U.S. & global capital markets. These largely unregulated funds use: a variety of complex trading strategies & instruments, in their liberal use of leverage, in their opacity to outsiders, & in their convex compensation structure. These differences can exacerbate market failures associated with agency problems, externalities, & moral hazard. Counterparty credit risk mgmt. (CCRM) practices are the first line of defense against market disruptions with potential systemic consequences. This article examines how the unique nature of hedge funds may generate market failures that make CCRM for exposures to the funds intrinsically more difficult to manage, both for regulated institutions & for policymakers.
