However, adjusting the panels manually eliminates the extra cost and yields better results when the
adjustment intervals are optimized for local conditions, the researchers say.
This percentage drops to below 23% when the discount factor is restricted to reasonable values, and under these restrictions, industries accounting for at least 36% of all sales in the industries we analyze have estimated price adjustment intervals of less than 2 quarters.
Numerous theoretical contributions to the burgeoning sticky-price literature likewise appeal to the lengthy estimated price adjustment intervals forthcoming from applications of the Gali-Gertler empirical methodology as justification for the assumption of generalized price stickiness.
For 59 industries accounting for about 8% of all industries' sales in 2004, the price adjustment intervals implied by the unrestricted non-hybrid model's estimates were negative, implying an obvious mismatch of these industries with the structural model.
The unweighted average price adjustment intervals for these groups of industries were 18.
95, the fit of the model for 84 industries was very poor and yielded negative estimated price adjustment intervals.
99 restriction slightly reduced both the unweighted and the weighted average estimated price adjustment intervals across all industries to 3.
The main reason good-quality scopes "fail" in normal use (reticles break or turn, lenses become loose, zoom mechanisms bind,
adjustment intervals become irregular) is because the tube is stressed--slightly "bent"--by being held tightly by misaligned rings.
This makes for long
adjustment intervals, since the abrasion limit is not prematurely reached due to non-infinitely variable setting and play movement
Chapter 6, on inflation, clearly presents the monetarism-structuralism debate and five factors in the inflation process: seignorage, balance-of-payments crises, dollarization, capacity constraints and supply shocks, and indexation and
adjustment intervals.
Adjustment intervals typically range from one month to five years.
Another concern among servicers is the higher unit-servicing costs anticipated for ARMs, especially those with negative amortization, short adjustment intervals and the relatively few that have adjustable servicing fees.
