Other variables. The rest of the variables are less unique to our analysis, so we limit the write-up here.42 Consider the loan contract characteristics. The first is the dependent variable, the Interest Rate on the loan until the next revision. For fixed interest rate loans, this is the yield to maturity of the loan. For variable interest rate loans, this is the interest rate until the date at which the interest rate will be revised as stipulated in the contract.43 The average interest rate on a loan in our sample is 8.12% or 812 basis points (we employ basis points throughout the paper to facilitate the tabulation and interpretation of the results). The loan rate varies widely not only nationally (the standard deviation is 236 basis points), but also at the branch level (the average standard deviation at the branch level is still 217 basis points). Loan fees are not included in our dataset. Loan fees are rarely charged to single-person businesses and are set by the bank’s national headquarters. It is therefore unlikely that loan fees will be determined by any of the local variables of interest. The median loan size is BEF 300,000 (USD 7,500), but varies between BEF 5,000 (USD 125) and BEF 80,000,000 (USD 2,000,000). We will assume in our empirical analysis that loan rate and size are determined jointly. The variable Collateral indicates whether the loan is collateralized or not. We have no further information on the type of collateral provided. Approximately 26% of the loans are collateralized. We will assume, as in Xxxxxx and Xxxxx (1995), Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx (1998), and Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx (1998), among others, that collateral and interest rate conditions are determined sequentially, with the collateral decision preceding the interest rate determination. Indeed, collateral is often pledged at the beginning of a relationship, is adjusted only infrequently or inconsistently, and may end up covering multiple loans. However, we will investigate alternative decision sequences with respect to loan size and collateral in various robustness checks. Another loan contract characteristic is the Repayment Duration of the Loan. For all loans to the firms, we know at what ‘speed’ the loans are repaid. This allows us to compute the exact repayment duration of a loan. We include the natural logarithm of (one plus) this variable in the regression analysis in order to proxy for the risk associated with the time until the loan is repaid. Four dummies capture the effect of the revisability o...

Other variables. Cultural similarity is operationalised as the sum of three different indicators: (1) the existence of a common border between a country pair,12 (2) the sharing of a common language and (3) the existence of common historical and religious tradition, expressed by the similar- ity of religion between two countries.13 Hence, this indicator can vary between 0 and 3 for each country pair (see table A4.3 in the annex). We conceive this variable as static, which means that cul- tural ties and geographic proximity are assumed to be highly stable factors that are not subject to far-reaching changes over time. Economic development is based on the income figures meas- ured as GDP per capita (see table A4.3 in the annex). In the pair approach the income figure is multiplied by the difference in income between the two countries. Domestic political demand for a comprehensive and stringent environmental policy could possibly be expressed in several ways, such as the number of environmental organisations or the public 12 Sea borders count, if located within a 200-mile zone. This results, for example, in a common border between the Netherlands and the UK or Denmark and Sweden.

Other variables. Whereas the main focus of the ENVIPOLCON project is on the influence of international institutions and international trade on environmental policy convergence, we also test a number of add- itional, mainly domestic variables which may be expected to be relevant. With one exception (see below), the set of other variables covered in the present chapter corresponds with that of chapter ł, i.e., environmental problem pressure, income, green party strength, cultural openness and time. Environmental problem pressure is operationalised with the help of two indicators: industrial CO2 emissions per square kilometre and population density. High environmental problem pressure is expected to lead to higher demand for environmental policies and thus to upward convergence. (H 5.2.1): High environmental problem pressure at t1 (operational- ised as industrial CO2/km2 and population density) will lead to convergence towards the top during the following period. Following the theory of the ‘Environmental Xxxxxxx Curve’ a higher income (expressed as GDP per capita) is supposed to lead to upward convergence in two ways. First, higher income is generally associated with a higher degree of industrialisation, higher levels of environmental pollution and thus with higher demand for policy (see above). Second, political demand for the ‘luxury good’ of envi- ronmental policy may be assumed to be higher with increasing income (see further chapter 3).

  • Account Types The Financial Institution agrees that each Collateral Account is, and will be maintained as, either a “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501 of the UCC) or a “deposit account” (as defined in Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC).

  • Shift Rotation Routine shift rotation is not an approach to staffing endorsed by the Employer. Except for emergency situations where it may be necessary to provide safe patient care, shift rotation will not be utilized without mutual consent. If such an occasion should ever occur, volunteers will be sought first. If no one volunteers, the Employer will rotate shifts on an inverse seniority basis until the staff vacancies are filled.

  • WAGES AND CLASSIFICATIONS 42.01 The classification and wages for persons covered by the Collective Agreement shall, during the term of the Agreement, be as set out in Schedule "D" attached hereto. 42.02 Where a Child and Youth Worker II or III, who has a minimum of three (3) years continuous service in his/her current position wishes, for the purposes of career development and experience to apply for a Child and Youth Worker position which is classified one level lower, s/he may apply to the Chief Human Resources Officer to have this position considered as a secondment for a maximum of one (1) year through which s/he will retain his/her current salary. (a) If a new job is established by the Employer, the Joint Job Evaluation Committee will evaluate the job. In circumstances where it is impossible for either party to convene the Joint Job Evaluation Committee, or a rating cannot be agreed upon prior to the posting of a newly created job, the Employer will set the initial wage rate. It is agreed that the newly created job will be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee no later than three (3) months after the date that the new job is posted, unless otherwise agreed. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the start date(s) of the employee(s) in the new position. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply. At the request of either party, all newly created jobs shall be re-reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee within twelve (12) months of the start date of the new job. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the start of the new job. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply. (b) Where the duties and responsibilities of an employee’s job are changed by the Employer in a substantive manner, so that a job is no longer properly classified and the rate should be changed, either the employee or the Employer may request that the job be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee. Any such request must be made within six (6) months of the changes to the duties and responsibilities being made by the Employer. The job will be reviewed by the Joint Job Evaluation Committee no later than three (3) months after the request. It is understood that the cumulative effect of small changes may result in change “in a substantive manner”. Any increase in rate of pay resulting from such a review shall be retroactive to the date that the request was made which resulted in a re- classification. In the event that the rate of pay decreases, any decrease shall not apply to present incumbents. If the parties are unable to agree upon the rate of pay under a changed job as referred to above, the procedure set out in Article 42.04 shall apply with the appropriate changes. No job will be reviewed under section (b) more than once every twelve

  • System Description The wet detention basin is designed to trap 80% of sediment in runoff and maintain pre-development downstream peak flows. The basin has two forebays (smaller ponds) located at the low end of two grass xxxxxx. In addition to runoff conveyance, the grass xxxxxx also allow infiltration and filtering of pollutants, especially from smaller storms. The forebays are each 4 feet deep. They are connected to the main pool by 18 and 24-inch metal pipes that outlet onto a rock chute. The forebays will trap coarse sediments in runoff, such as road sands, thus reducing maintenance of the main basin. The main pool will trap the finer suspended sediment. To do this, the pond size, water level and outlet structures must be maintained as specified in this Agreement (see Figures 1, 2 and 3). The main basin receives runoff from a 67.1 acre drainage area (41.2 acres within the subdivision and 25.9 acres off-site drainage coming from the east). During high rainfall or snow melt events, the water level will temporarily rise and slowly drain down to the elevation of the control structure. The water level is controlled by a 12-inch concrete pipe extending through the berm in the northwest corner of the basin (see Figures 1 and 3). On the face of the 12-inch pipe, there is metal plate with a 3-inch drilled hole (orifice) with stone in front of it. This orifice controls the water level and causes the pond to temporarily rise during runoff events. Washed stone (1- 2” diameter) is placed in front of the orifice to prevent clogging. High flows may enter the grated concrete riser or flow over the rock lined emergency spillway. “As-built” construction drawings of the basin, showing actual dimensions, elevations, outlet structures, etc. will be recorded as an addendum(s) to this agreement within 60 days after [Municipality Name] accepts verification of construction from the project engineer.
