I'm on a fixed income.

Fixed Internet connections are expensive

Their debts and obligations are similarly fixed.

Every year thereafter, the dividend paid would fluctuate in response to changes in GDP.

The Hobby Eberly telescope in Texas also has a fixed angle of inclination.

It is a supplement to the IEEE Std 802.16 2004, and so the actual standard is 802.16 2004 as amended by 802.16e 2005.

Without adequate governance, oil revenues will be wasted on grandiose projects, corruption, or rearmament.

The dividend would rise or fall as the success of Argentina s economy is revealed through time.

This is no solution, because the government will still control oil revenues and determine the dividend.

A fixed rate was seen as a nominal anchor against inflation, forcing disciplined monetary and fiscal policies.

In this environment, the Security Council s frozen composition is imposing significant limits on the international community s capacity to address global challenges.

Suppose that the Argentine government issued perpetual bonds that paid an annual dividend equal to one ten billionth of Argentine GDP, payable in pesos.

Of course, the Fed s policy reversal could hurt countries that maintain fixed or, like China, managed floating exchange rates.

This more flexible system is friendly to mobile users and allows them to have a fixed choice of configured outbound SMTP server.

Whatever Lafontaine may think, the fixed exchange rates he has called for won't be part of the world economy.

The simplest form of growth linked bonds would be a long term government security that pays a regular dividend proportional to the GDP of the issuing country.

Like Argentina, Greece has a fixed exchange rate, a long history of fiscal deficits, and an even longer history of sovereign defaults.

East Asia s victims of currency crises were, like most other nations, on fixed rates pegged to the dollar, other major hard currencies, or baskets of currencies. The central bank promised to redeem its own currency on demand by any holders, foreign or domestic, in prescribed amounts of hard currencies.

Or they can choose not to have a device at all, opting instead to pay a flat fee based on the average number of miles driven by all state residents.

If the Japanese government had issued trills in 1990, when Japan s nominal GDP was 443 trillion, the dividend paid to investors the first year would have been 443.

It is to be hoped that all have concluded, in the wake of a year of crisis, that fixed but adjustable exchange rates are a bad idea.

My Canadian colleague Mark Kamstra and I have proposed issuing shares called trills, which would pay a dividend each year equal to a trillionth of that year s GDP, in domestic currency.

Fixed income also has been volatile as the market anticipates a rate hike, and the pattern is somewhat similar to what equities experience.

During the 1950 s and 1960 s, Europeans amassed a huge stash of US Treasury bills in an effort to maintain fixed exchange rate pegs, much as China has done today.

If exchange rates were fixed but capital could move freely, capital flight from the country would generate pressures to end loose monetary policies.

The thinking behind the new arrangement was that an independent and flexible monetary policy would serve the nation s interest better than a fixed exchange rate that tied the naira to the pound.

Because Argentina s annual GDP now runs at about 500 billion pesos, one of these bonds today would pay a dividend of 50 pesos (about 17 or 13) a year.

Finally, and perhaps most important, such an approach would be more politically attractive than a fixed carbon tax, especially if it is introduced at a time of sharply declining oil prices.

But the effectiveness of a fixed exchange rate is determined by how developments in the export sector influence domestic industries and the national economy as a whole. If growth in the trade sector boosts that of domestic non trade sectors, then a fixed exchange rate will not put pressure on the external balance of payments as demand for imports rises.

In the IMF, the US Treasury, among certain German officials and in other powerful financial centers, there is now deep suspicion of anything that remotely looks like a fixed exchange rate.

Governments that pursue policies whether US fiscal laxity or China s exchange rate peg that create unsustainable imbalances do so for what they regard as important political reasons.

In 2010, when GDP was still only 479 trillion, the same trills would pay a dividend of 479, not much larger than the initial yield and no doubt disappointing many investors.

But soon after taking the helm at the Economics Ministry in March 2001, Domingo Cavallo pointed an accusing finger at the central bank. Notwithstanding the fixed exchange rate, which limited monetary growth to that of the bank's dollar reserves, he argued that economic recovery required an expansionary credit policy.

Indeed, the economist Robert Mundell, whose work on optimal monetary zones is credited with laying the theoretical groundwork for the euro, insists that China should maintain its fixed exchange rate as a necessary part of its current phase of economic development.

But the employers also quickly learned that the best kind of employment contract is one that offers employee not just a fixed contract, but also the possibility of a bonus, a sort of gift for good performance that is outside of any contract provisions.
