A substantial part of New Zealand’s economic growth in the fi rst half of the last decade refl ected high rates of growth in labour utilisation. However, the average hours worked per capita has fallen by around 3 percent since 2005. New Zealand’s labour utilisation rate was higher than four of the fi ve OECD countries that we have chosen to benchmark New Zealand against (the ‘comparator’ countries2 ) in 2008, refl ecting a combination of high participation rates, low unemployment, and a high average number of hours worked relative to other OECD countries. It will be...

This book is based upon our combined experiences of working together in the treatment of patients with dental implant prostheses at Guy's Hospital and in private practice over the last 10 years. While the chapters are not attributed to specific authors, the surgical chapters are mainly the work of Richard and Paul Palmer; the implant denture chapters, Brian Smith; and the fixed prosthodontics, Leslie Howe. Our initial experiences were with the Brånemark system, which established a benchmark in implant treatment, with high success rates using meticulous techniques.

A further concern is the wide level of variation in the number of students being commissioned across the UK. For example, in midwifery, some institutions are facing a 50% cut and yet others are being asked to substantially increase the number of new midwives they are preparing. In the UK, health professional education for individual non-medical courses is funded through a benchmark price, which is determined at the national level.

The fourth empirical nding is the fact that the di¤erent volatility factors are due to systematic risk, and therefore are priced in the cross section of stock returns. In a recent contribution, Adrian and Rosenberg (2008) show that volatility factor models compare favorably to benchmark models in explaining the cross section of stock returns. While the statistical knowledge of stock return volatility is impressive, several questions remain regarding their economic explanation.

This paper studies portfolio strategies that invest in equity mutual funds, incorporating predictability in (i) manager selectivity and benchmark timing skills, (ii) fund risk loadings, and (iii) benchmark returns. Ultimately, we provide new evidence on the promise of equity mutual funds by assessing both the ex ante investment opportunity set and the ex post out- of-sample performance delivered by predictability-based strategies. Our framework for forming investment strategies builds on methodologies developed by Avramov (2004) and Avramov and Chordia (2005b).
