Hard economic times are correlated with protectionism, as each country blames others and protects its domestic jobs.

Several other factors have been correlated with higher rates in some research, but whether they cause the miscarriages is debated.

Investors prize assets that are relatively uncorrelated, or even better, negatively correlated with the returns of the market as a whole.

Even if individual banks are small, if they engage in correlated behavior using the same models their behavior can fuel systemic risk

The reason for these negative effects appears to be that high corporatism is strongly correlated with stifled entrepreneurship and obstructive job protection.

Economically speaking, gas supply and transport prices are more correlated to political relationships than to fundamental supply demand or gas transport basis calculations.

But the metamorphosis tends to go hand in hand with localized monetary contractions that exacerbate the correlated risk of sovereign default and bank failures.

Moreover, someday we will know via sequencing of the whole genome about rarer genomic variations that are correlated with treatment response or side effects.

As the advanced economies recover, however weakly, the growth differential is likely to narrow again, perhaps to about two percentage points, which still implies steady convergence at a decent pace.

Another problem with using the five year, five year forward rate of expected inflation to gauge QE s effectiveness is that the rate is correlated with oil prices.

Income inequality is correlated with inequalities in health, access to education, and exposure to environmental hazards, all of which burden children more than other segments of the population.

'Is that vodka?' Margarita asked weakly. The cat jumped up from its chair in indignation. 'Excuse me, your majesty,' he squeaked, 'do you think I would give vodka to a lady? That is pure spirit!'

The first shaky principle is that if the return on these bonds is highly correlated, so that they all default at the same time, overcollateralization is not much help.

But despite the Hazara people's long term opposition to the Taliban, the group has not always been able to count on support coming from the corridors of power in Kabul, where it is weakly represented, either.

All of these categories of failure of rational judgment and decision making are very imperfectly correlated with intelligence meaning that IQ tests tend not to capture individual differences in rational thought.

But there's a more fundamental reason that it's not intrinsically upbeat, because a non zero sum game, all it tells you for sure is that the fortunes will be correlated for better or worse.

What the world is witnessing is a correlated growth slowdown across the advanced countries (with a few exceptions), and across all of the systemically important parts of the global economy, possibly including the emerging economies.

It was tried only in small classes, but there it showed, for example, that these student assigned grades on the y axis are actually very well correlated with the teacher assigned grade on the x axis.

Momentum space RG also became a highly developed tool in solid state physics, but its success was hindered by the extensive use of perturbation theory, which prevented the theory from reaching success in strongly correlated systems.

Unlike national markets, which tend to be supported by domestic regulatory and political institutions, global markets are only weakly embedded. There is no global anti trust authority, no global lender of last resort, no global regulator, no global safety nets, and, of course, no global democracy.

The price charged by Gazprom for each country bordering Russia is different and is largely determined by political relationships with the Kremlin.

So it looked as though teacher motivation and teacher migration was a powerfully correlated thing with what was happening in primary schools, as opposed to whether the children have enough to eat, and whether they are packed tightly into classrooms and that sort of thing. It appears that way.

The main argument is that high leverage contributes powerfully to systemic risk a condition in which asset prices move in a highly correlated way, and distress, when it occurs, spreads quickly. Leverage is also partially caused by misperceptions of risk and mispricing of liquidity. It is desirable to constrain leverage, but not to the point of increasing the cost of capital and investment.
