Subject field(s)
  • Corporate Economics

AgriStability is a margin-based program which allows producers to protect their farm operations against large declines in farm income. A program payment is triggered when a producer's margin(allowable revenue less allowable expenses) in the program year drops below their average margin from previous years(historical reference margin). Governments will continue to provide a share of the lost income.

OBS

margin-based program: designation approved by the Terminology Committee of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada.

Key term(s)
  • margin-based programme

French

Domaine(s)
  • Économie de l'entreprise
CONT

Agri-stabilité est un programme fondé sur la marge qui permet aux producteurs de protéger leurs activités agricoles contre des pertes importantes de revenu agricole. Un paiement au titre du programme est versé lorsque la marge du producteur (revenus admissibles moins dépenses admissibles) dans une année de programme descend sous la marge moyenne des années précédentes (marge de référence historique). Les gouvernements continueront de compenser une partie des pertes de recettes.

OBS

programme fondé sur la marge : désignation approuvée par le Comité de terminologie d’Agriculture et Agroalimentaire Canada.

En période d'inflation, plus-value latente attribuable à l'accroissement du coût de remplacement des articles stockés.

Record 5 2000-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
DEF

A modeling process by which variation in a time series are assumed to be explained wholly by the historical trends of the data itself. In essence, the ARIMA modeling process consists of the autoregressive and moving average processes of the Auto-Regressive Moving Average(ARMA) Model process on data that have been Differenced to render them Stationary. The process uses variations of differencing and transformations to describe historical patterns in the data. Like the simpler ARMA model, forecasts made by an ARIMA modeling process consist of only a mathematical process of projecting inherent characteristics of trend, cycles, and seasonality into the future and incorporate no economic relatinships. Consequently, such models are not appropriate for impact analysis or for incorporating random "shocks", but may prove an effective estimation process when the trends in the historical data are relatively stable and well-behaved.

OBS

The X-11 ARIMA process is used to detect and remove the seasonality from the original data.

Record 6 1996-07-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Investment
  • Accounting
OBS

Valuations of derivative positions are based on theoretical models. Based on these models, firms can project their exposures on individual swaps and assume a random likelihood of default, then come up with a rule of thumb for capital allocation to cover average replacement costs. Frequently, banks will also look at a worst-case scenario. Firms constantly test their models and modify them accordingly. Models used to calculate exposures aren’t consistent in quality and depend on historical records of volatility.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Investissements et placements
  • Comptabilité
OBS

L'évaluation de la qualité des produits dérivés en portefeuille se fonde sur des modèles théoriques. Les modèles de calcul des risques ne sont pas tous de la même qualité et leur fiabilité dépend des données historiques recueillies sur la volatilité. En outre, il existe toujours un risque que le présent ne concorde pas avec le passé.

... the family of atoposaurids, is... preserved in the lithographic limestones of Europe. A detailed study of their very complete skeletons made by P. Wellnhofer of the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Historical Geology in Munich indicate that these small crocodilians, on the average no more than 40 centimeters long, were probably agile carnivores.

Wellnhofer de la Collection d'État Bavaroise de Paléontologie et de Géologie historique à Munich, a réalisé une étude détaillée de leurs squelettes très complets. Il en conclut que ces petits [crocodiles], ne dépassant guère 40 centimètres de long, étaient probablement d'agiles carnivores terrestres.
