Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between the social history and the filmic history of the swimming pool. The history of the swimming pool and the history of the movies wove themselves together during the first half of the twentieth century. By 1950, the image of the swimming pool and the image of the movie star were connected in the social imaginary. Discourses about gender, health, discipline and the body were moulded by the architectural environment of the swimming pool, when the movies translated the image of the swimming pool, they carried these ideas along with them. These ideas affected the formation of modern subjectivities. This thesis attempts to demonstrate one of the means by which a particular set of ideas infiltrated the collective psyche
Cette thèse examine le rapport entre l'histoire sociale et l'histoire filmique de la piscine. Elle tente de démonter le moyen par lequel une tendance particulier c'est inflirté dans la psyché collective. L'histoire de la piscine et l'histoire du cinema se sont entrelacé au cours de la prèmiere moitier du vingtieme sciècle. Par l'année 1950, l'image de la piscine et l'image de la vedette étaient liés dans l'imagination sociale. Les discours au sujet de sexe, la santé, la discipline et le corps étaient façonné par l'environment architecturale de la piscine. Losque le cinéma traduit l'image de la piscine, il emporte ces idées avec. Ces idées affectent la formation des subjectivités moderne. Cette thèse tente de dèmontrer le moyen par lequel une tendance particulier c'est infiltré dans la psyché collective.

Abstract:

Cette recherche doctorale examine, dans un pays en proie à une « passion pour l’égalité » (Forsé et al, 2013), le degré d’acceptation à l’égard des très hauts revenus. Elle se situe au croisement de la sociologie des inégalités, de l’économie du vedettariat et de la justice sociale.Déjà présente dans le débat opposant John Rawls (1971 et 2001) et Robert Nozick (1974) au travers de l’exemple de Wilt Chamberlain, la figure de la star nous permet de répondre à une question centrale et contemporaine : les très hautes rémunérations sont-elles justes socialement ? La thèse se base sur un travail qualitatif articulé autour de la réalisation et de l’analyse de 55 entretiens semi-directifs. Elle repose également sur un travail d’analyse quantitative qui a permis de représenter l’évolution des inégalités de revenus ainsi que l’évolution des revenus des sportif.ve.s et des comédien.ne.s les mieux payé.e.s en France et dans le monde. Des régressions linéaires ayant pour variables à expliquer les rémunérations des stars de football ou de cinéma permettent de mesurer l’effet propre des caractéristiques individuelles des stars.La première partie détermine la place occupée par les comédien.ne.s et les footballeurs professionnels, désigné.e.s par la presse comme stars, dans la distribution des revenus en France. La deuxième partie élabore une définition subjective du statut de star et restitue les déterminants, selon les personnes interrogées, de la rémunération des stars. L’analyse des réponses des personnes interrogées à propos des facteurs explicatifs des revenus des cadres d’entreprise permet de mettre en avant la spécificité des stars. La troisième partie analyse l’opinion des Français à l’égard des revenus des stars. Inspirée de l’enquête PISJ (Forsé et Galland, 2011), une liste de 10 métiers – ou statuts — appartenant au décile (voire pour certains au centile ou au millime) supérieur (star de cinéma, star de football, blogueur, mannequin, animateur de télévision, médecin généraliste, professeur d’université, ministre, cadre supérieur et PDG d’une grande entreprise) a permis de constituer un dispositif empirique destiné à apprécier le degré d’acceptation à l’égard des rémunérations des stars dans une réflexion élargie aux plus hautes rémunérations. Il en résulte que le niveau de la rémunération de Cristiano Ronaldo, de Lionel Messi, d’Angelina Jolie et de Gérard Depardieu n’est accepté ni en raison d’une justification libertarienne (Nozick, 1974) ni par rejet de l’arbitraire du mérite individuel (Rawls, 1971 et 2001). Les très hauts revenus — et notamment ceux des stars — font l’objet d’une acceptation qui s’explique majoritairement par la combinaison d’un principe de stratification (logique individuelle de contribution-rétribution) et d’un principe de correction (l’utilité sociale). Enfin, l’examen des variables sociodémographiques montre que plus la personne se situe à gauche du spectre politique, plus elle critique les très hautes rémunérations. L’acceptation des très hauts revenus est donc un jeu à trois pôles entre une logique économique (contribution individuelle-rétribution individuelle), un principe de correction (l’utilité sociale) et un attachement à la notion d’égalité (le positionnement politique)
Drawing on the sociology of inequality, the star system economy and social justice, this PhD dissertation aims to examine whether French people, who live in an “equality-obsessed country“ (Forsé et al. 2013), accept high earnings.The “star”, which has already been used in the debate between Rawls (1971; 2001) and Nozick (1974) through the example of the well-known NBA star-player Wilt Chamberlain, enables us to answer one key and contemporary question: do people believe that high earnings are socially fair? To investigate this issue, I used both qualitative and quantitative methods, working with a total sample of 59 interviewees and conducting 55 semi-structured interviews, each two-hours long on average. The quantitative part of my research consists of a statistical analysis using multiple data sources (INSEE, WID, annual pundit surveys…), in order to provide an account of the evolution of movie and football stars’ earnings, in relation to the general evolution of incomes and incomes in the top percentiles (top 1%, top 0.1%, top 0.01%, and top 0.001%). Regression linear analyses allow us to determine the impact of the stars’ individual characteristics.The aim of the first part of this dissertation is to find how the top paid football players and actors (dubbed as football stars and movie stars by the press) are ranked in France’s income distribution. The second part seeks to provide a subjective definition of the star’s status and to identify, according to the interviewees, how their earnings are garnered. The analysis of the factors explaining the earnings of management executives by the interviewees helps us to insist on the specificity of the stars’ earnings. The third part examines French opinion on stars’ earnings. Using a PISJ-inspired list (Forsé et Galland, 2011) of 10 jobs or statuses belonging to the 10% (or top 1% or top 0.1%) (movie star, football-star, blogger, model, TV host, doctor, university teacher, management executive), I tried to investigate empirically the interviewees’ attitude towards not only stars’ earnings but high earnings in general.Finally, my research shows that interviewees accept the position of Cristiano, Lionel, Angelina Jolie and Gérard Depardieu among top earners, and agree with their earnings exceeding millions of euros. The joint use of the two principles (on the one hand, the stratification principle, based on the acceptance of an economics-based logic, and on the other hand, the corrective principle of social utility) leads to a reasoned acceptance of the earnings of movie stars and football stars. I therefore show that the acceptance of the level of movie stars’ and football stars’ earnings differs from the libertarian approach of Robert Nozick (1974) and from the rejection of individual merit (Rawls, 1971 and 2001). The analysis of the interviewees’ answers in relation to sociodemographic variables indicates that there is a link between the interviewees’ political beliefs and their attitude toward high earnings. The more left-wing they declared themselves, the more critical they were of the perceived hierarchy in earnings and of the very high ones. The acceptance of high earnings can be seen as a ménage-à-trois between an economics-based logic (individual contribution leads to individual earning), a corrective principle (social utility) and the valuation of equality (political belief)

Curtis, Emily A. "Movies under the stars : a history and inventory of drive-in theaters in the Indianapolis area." Virtual Press, 1997. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/1041913.

Full text

Abstract:

The drive-in theater was a phenomenon unique and prosperous in 1950s America. At the height of their popularity, there were over 4,000 drive-in theaters located across the United States. Their great success came because they were suitable to the mindset of the time-they provided a place for a family to be together without dress code, babysitter, or parking problems, and without having to leave their beloved cars. Construction of 23 drive-in theaters occurred in the Indianapolis area between 1940 and 1974. These varied in size and location, but all contained the essential ingredients-a large concession stand, children's playground, and any other gimmick that would gather their audiences before sunset.By the mid-1960s, the drive-in theater industry began a steady decline which has continued to present. The drive-in theater always faced obstacles, including weather, insects, seasons, and poor technical quality of both picture and sound. Adding to this was the change in the American mindset, increased opposition from community moralists, and especially, the rise in property values.This creative project documents the general history of drive-in theaters across the United States, takes a closer look at the drive-in theaters in the Indianapolis area, and records them in an inventory.

Abstract:

The subject of this thesis is the role of television programme Saturday Night Live (or SNL) in launching the careers of a significant number of Hollywood film stars over the last three decades. Started in 1975, SNL is a 90-minute comedy variety show broadcast live by the American television network NBC. Since its inception, it has employed regular casts of performers to present comic sketches. Several cast members, including John Belushi, Bill Murray, Eddie Murphy, Billy Crystal and Adam Sandler, have converted their exposure on the show into film stardom. In exploring the nature of SNL stars' appeal to Hollywood's filmmakers and audiences, the thesis primarily engages in two areas of debate. Firstly, it seeks to continue historicising what has been termed the "comedian comedy tradition" in Hollywood film. It has been noted that the Hollywood film industry has repeatedly turned to comic performers from other media with already well-defined, popular extra-fictional personas for use as star attractions. Certain consistencies have been found in the industry's approach to converting comedians' appeals for presentation within narrative fiction. However, approaches are also affected by historically specific industrial and social factors. I argue that the stars of SNL were instrumental to the development of a new variant of the comedian comedy tradition. Secondly, I suggest that the most important factor in explaining the nature of SNL's influence is shifts in social and cultural values in America since the 1960s. The personas of SNL stars I examine reflect trends in American public opinion connected to generational change. SNL has now employed cast members from across the baby boom generation (those born between 1943 and 1964) and Generation X (1965 to 1982). To consider the impact of generational factors, my analysis is centred around two case studies, the careers of Bill Murray and Adam Sandler.

Abstract:

Robert Ryan (1909-1973) était de ces acteurs qui ne furent jamais starifiés. Pour autant, il ne resta pas non plus entièrement dans l’ombre de ses contemporains les plus reconnus. Rendu célèbre au cours de l’année 1947 par Crossfire (Feux croisés, Edward Dmytryk), il fut, depuis cette zone grise de la « non-starification », ce personnage de film noir à la fois névrosé et violent, tout aussi affirmatif que désorienté – mais pas uniquement. Aujourd’hui oublié comme la plupart des acteurs de cette catégorie, il apparut pourtant dans soixante-treize longs-métrages, parfois réalisés par des cinéastes de renoms tels que Jean Renoir, Nicholas Ray, Anthony Mann, Max Ophuls ou encore Fritz Lang, et sa carrière se prolongea au théâtre et à la télévision. En partant de quelques incarnations pour remonter vers ce qui faisait la singularité du jeu de Robert Ryan, puis en tentant d’inscrire l’acteur dans l’histoire esthétique du cinéma de son temps, le présent texte se penche sur l’un de ces Hollywood standby méconnus, qui firent pourtant office de matériaux essentiels aux films américains classiques
Robert Ryan (1909-1973) was one of those actors who never became a movie star. However, he was not completely in the shadow of his famous contemporaries. Celebrated for his part in Edward Dmytryk’s Crossfire (1947), he was this "non-star" actor playing neurotic, violent, affirmative and disorientated film noir characters, but he was not only that. If he has been forgotten today, like most actors of his kind, he nevertheless made seventy-three movies, sometimes directed by filmmakers such as Jean Renoir, Nicholas Ray, Anthony Mann, Max Ophuls or Fritz Lang, and he also had a career in theatre and television. Through the description of some of his roles, by analyzing the peculiarity of his acting style, and trying to place him within the aesthetic history of American cinema, the following text deals with one of those underrated "Hollywood standby", that were vital to the craft of American cinema

Abstract:

The digital evolution in the film industry has opened possibilities that was only to blockbusters before the digital age. I am talking about mass-scenes. Huge scenes with hordes of people often in huge battlefields. This was earlier in film history an extremly costly undertaking for the filmindustry and was a major reason why the large studio systems in Hollywood collapsed in the 60s. Now we can enjoy large scale battles created with CGI without costly extras, costumes and props. It’s all made with the computer and with ’blue screen’ technology. Is it possible to track the mass-scene back to some sort of origin or at least to who that defined the mass-scene ? If we look closer at mass-scenes used in contemporary movies then a clear pattern often emerges. These scenes can often be traced back to especially two propaganda films from the late 30s. Triumph des Willens by Leni Riefenstahl and Alexander Nevsky by Sergei M. Eisenstein. Of course there are others, but these two stands out from the others regarding mass-scenes. My opinion is that these two classic propaganda films have defined the mass-scenes as we have come to see and understand them in many comtemporary films from Star Wars to Lord Of The Rings.

In this thesis I will try to explore the usage of mass-scenes in comtemporary films and hopefully uncover the strong intertextual ties to Triumph des Willens and Alexander Nevsky.

I will also attempt to define the mass-scene and it’s usage in contemporary film.

Abstract:

This essay deals with the use of linguistic stereotypes in Hollywood movies. It investigates whether attitudes towards English dialects found in studies on perceptual dialectology are reflected in the selected movies and discusses the notion of linguistic identity and how standard and nonstandard speech, respectively, are used symbolically to emphasize features of characters in eleven movies from three different movie series, namely The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and Transformers, with a main focus on syntactic and phonological dimensions. The essay finds a correlation between standard speech and features of competence and wisdom, and nonstandard speech and features of solidarity, sociability and traits of stupidity and humor. Moreover, very specific perceptions of certain varieties of English are probably utilized as amplifiers of equally specific characteristics of some characters. The use of dialects and accents in these movies is probably intentional and not coincidental.

Abstract:

AbstractYou see it everywhere—the ponytail hairstyle. Before the influencers Kim Kardashian West and Kylie Jenner, there were Barbie dolls and the movie stars Sandra Dee and Brigitte Bardot, and popstars Madonna and Beyoncé. Tennis star Serena Williams often sports a ponytail, and among women World Cup soccer players, countless. In this introduction, I outline a theoretical approach with which to show how and why the ponytail has become the hallmark of the female athlete and a total social phenomenon that answers to the experiential totality of modernity. I distinguish my approach from that of critical theorists who often argue that gender and femininities are all about social power relations and female subordination. Instead, I draw on multiple cultural theories about hair, bodies, and icons to argue that a total social fact like the ponytail is only iconic, imitated, and useful if it is polyvocal. A cultural sociology shows how the ponytail, as a material and corporal object, is imbued with codes, narratives, and myths that allow its wearers to access public culture and social inequalities in deeply personal, even existential ways.

Abstract:

Abstract. In the past three decades the physics equipment in our undergraduate education has a severe falling. Furthermore, the obsolete teaching methods became rules in our educational system. That is why the physics teaching hours became dull for the students and very abstract. The interest of the students for physics has fallen to the lowest level. We consider that the situation ca be improved using some simple ways of learning. The most motivating method of the approach to a certain physics subject is the well-known Inquiry Based Learning method. This method assumes that the student guided by the teacher, discovers the lows and the explanations for certain natural physics phenomena using the research tools and methods. And of course, she student must see and reproduce the phenomenon in the lab. We realized a lot of short movies (6 to 20 seconds) with handy objects that can be reproduced by the teacher or by the student itself (both in the lab and at home!), aiming a certain physic phenomenon. These movies are addressed only to the teacher. They are showing certain experiments to be effectively realized in the classroom, or in the lab. Such significant experiments can be a reasonable start in IBL teaching method. Each movie is offered to the teachers with a document: the user guide. Here one can find information about the software attributes, the primary phenomenological explanation and (if it is reasonable) the detailed scientific explanation with exhaustive calculus. There is a chapter offering some information about the technical realizing of the experiment, how to find the objects and where from. It is offered the possibility to the applicants to give both their feedback to the authors and some suggestion to improve the quality of the educational movie.

Abstract:

The goal of basic research is to gather information and build upon the knowledge base. This type of study identifies a problem and suggests solutions that applied research can consider and employ using empirical methodologies. Basic theory is a valid and accepted research tool, it is often mathematical in nature, and it is formulated to solve a particular problem. The problem is to find the mathematical link between the natural energy of stars and the energy created through fission. An equation is shown here to have a place in the field of nuclear engineering because it provides insight into the question of what makes the binding and decaying of atomic particles mathematically possible. This equation shows that when the two particles of unequal mass move close enough to be caught up in each other’s flow fields, they are entangled in the fields and remain bound together. When two particles are of equal mass however their encounter does not produce a binding mechanism because their flow fields are the same strength and cancel each other out. The fission of uranium-236 into the elements krypton-92 and barium-141 is discussed according to the equation. Then the fusion of deuterium and tritium is analyzed as an example of flow fields at work. Finally the first three steps of the proton-proton chain reaction are compared to the equation.

Abstract:

Abstract The significant effect of initial configurations of flexible redundant robot manipulators is analyzed in the paper. It is found that the endpoint vibrations of a flexible redundant manipulator are quite different while performing the same endpoint trajectory starting from different initial configurations. Thus an optimal initial configuration with lower vibrations is found based on analysis before the manipulator starts to move. Only small and acceptable vibrations can be stimulated if the flexible redundant manipulator starts to move from the optimal configuration. Lots of computer time can be saved compared with optimal joint planning method. The method can be used in real-time control.

Webb, Philip, and Sarah Fletcher. Unsettled Issues on Human-Robot Collaboration and Automation in Aerospace Manufacturing. SAE International, November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2020024.

Full text

Abstract:

This SAE EDGE™ Research Report builds a comprehensive picture of the current state-of-the-art of human-robot applications, identifying key issues to unlock the technology’s potential. It brings together views of recognized thought leaders to understand and deconstruct the myths and realities of human- robot collaboration, and how it could eventually have the impact envisaged by many. Current thinking suggests that the emerging technology of human-robot collaboration provides an ideal solution, combining the flexibility and skill of human operators with the precision, repeatability, and reliability of robots. Yet, the topic tends to generate intense reactions ranging from a “brave new future” for aircraft manufacturing and assembly, to workers living in fear of a robot invasion and lost jobs. It is widely acknowledged that the application of robotics and automation in aerospace manufacturing is significantly lower than might be expected. Reasons include product variability, size, design philosophy, and relatively low volumes. Also, the occasional reticence due to a history of past false starts plays a role too. Unsettled Issues on Human-Robot Collaboration and Automation in Aerospace Manufacturing goes deep into the core questions that really matter so the necessary step changes can move the industry forward.

Full text

Abstract:

Zambians in all walks of life are affected by malnutrition, and working through human rights is one key way to address this injustice. Based on research aiming to understand how a ‘right to nutrition’ is perceived by different actors globally and in Zambia, this brief presents a clear framework for a rights-based approach to nutrition in Zambia. This framework identifies rhetorical, legal and practical functions of human rights, and offers a way to think through clearly how different actors might work on the different aspects of rights. Addressing these three aspects of a right to nutrition all together – instead of by very separate constituencies as happens now – is fundamental to a coherent rights-based approach to nutrition. This brief outlines which actors need to come together – from law and policy, activism and communities, across global, national and local levels – and suggests how to start. It lays out the Zambian policy, legal and practical environment as it stands, and suggests actions to move forward in each of these areas in ways that are consistent with the different aspects of rights. Through these steps, Zambia can become known as a hub of action on a right to nutrition, to join with others in using human rights to address the injustice of malnutrition.

Quak, Evert-jan. The Link Between Demography and Labour Markets in sub-Saharan Africa. Institute of Development Studies (IDS), January 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/k4d.2021.011.

Full text

Abstract:

This rapid review synthesises the literature from academic, policy, and knowledge institution sources on how demography affects labour markets (e.g. entrants, including youth and women) and labour market outcomes (e.g. capital-per-worker, life-cycle labour supply, human capital investments) in the context of sub-Saharan Africa. One of the key findings is that the fast-growing population in sub-Saharan Africa is likely to affect the ability to get productive jobs and in turn economic growth. This normally happens when workers move from traditional (low productivity agriculture and household businesses) sectors into higher productivity sectors in manufacturing and services. In theory the literature shows that lower dependency ratios (share of the non-working age population) should increase output per capita if labour force participation rates among the working age population remain unchanged. If output per worker stays constant, then a decline in dependency ratio would lead to a rise in income per capita. Macro simulation models for sub-Saharan Africa estimate that capital per worker will remain low due to consistently low savings for at least the next decades, even in the low fertility scenario. Sub-Saharan African countries seem too poor for a quick rise in savings. As such, it is unlikely that a lower dependency ratio will initiate a dramatic increase in labour productivity. The literature notes the gender implications on labour markets. Most women combine unpaid care for children with informal and low productive work in agriculture or family enterprises. Large family sizes reduce their productive labour years significantly, estimated at a reduction of 1.9 years of productive participation per woman for each child, that complicates their move into more productive work (if available). If the transition from high fertility to low fertility is permanent and can be established in a relatively short-term period, there are long-run effects on female labour participation, and the gains in income per capita will be permanent. As such from the literature it is clear that the effect of higher female wages on female labour participation works to a large extent through reductions in fertility.

HYSTERETIC PERFORMANCE OF WEAK-AXIS CONNECTION WITH I-SHAPED PLATES IN STEEL FRAME. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/ijasc.2021.17.3.1.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper elucidates numerically the behavior of weak-axis moment connections proposed by welding I-shaped plates in the H-section column to increase connection strength and ductility in steel frame. After validating the numerical methods through comparing the results of numerical analysis and experiments, the effectiveness of the proposed weak-axis connection were examined through comparing to the traditional weak-axis connection. The proposed weak-axis connection could move the highest stresses away from the start-stop points of a weld, and thus preventing the premature brittle fracture of the beam flange welds. The plastic hinge formed away from the beam-column interface, while the local buckling occurred in the weld access holes region in the traditional weak-axis connection. The proposed weak-axis connections can be classified as rigid in a strong-bracing system, and be classified as semi-rigid in weak-supported or unsupported system. And then a series of parametric studies was conducted to better understand the behavior of proposed weak-axis moment connections. The force-displacement relationships, location of the plastic hinge, Mises index (MI), triaxiality index (TI) and rupture index (RI) distributions at the beam flange welds were reported in detail. According to the numerical analysis, the design variables of I-shaped plates and widened flange plate are suggested, along with a design procedure.

Abstract:

Macroeconomic summary Annual inflation continued to rise in the first quarter (8.5%) and again outpaced both market expectations and the technical staff’s projections. Inflation in major consumer price index (CPI) baskets has accelerated year-to-date, rising in March at an annual rate above 3%. Food prices (25.4%) continued to contribute most to rising inflation, mainly affected by a deterioration in external supply and rising costs of agricultural inputs. Increases in transportation prices and in some utility rates (energy and gas) can explain the acceleration in regulated items prices (8.3%). For its part, the increase in inflation excluding food and regulated items (4.5%) would be the result of shocks in supply and external costs that have been more persistent than expected, the effects of indexation, accumulated inflationary pressures from the exchange rate, and a faster-than-anticipated tightening of excess productive capacity. Within the basket excluding food and regulated items, external inflationary pressures have meaningfully impacted on goods prices (6.4%), which have been accelerating since the last quarter of 2021. Annual growth in services prices (3.8%) above the target rate is due primarily to food away from home (14.1%), which was affected by significant increases in food and utilities prices and by a rise in the legal monthly minimum wage. Housing rentals and other services prices also increased, though at rates below 3%. Forecast and expected inflation have increased and remain above the target rate, partly due to external pressures (prices and costs) that have been more persistent than projected in the January report (Graphs 1.1 and 1.2). Russia’s invasion of Ukraine accentuated inflationary pressures, particularly on international prices for certain agricultural goods and inputs, energy, and oil. The current inflation projection assumes international food prices will increase through the middle of this year, then remain high and relatively stable for the remainder of 2022. Recovery in the perishable food supply is forecast to be less dynamic than previously anticipated due to high agricultural input prices. Oil prices should begin to recede starting in the second half of the year, but from higher levels than those presented in the previous report. Given the above, higher forecast inflation could accentuate indexation effects and increase inflation expectations. The reversion of a rebate on value-added tax (VAT) applied to cleaning and hygiene products, alongside the end of Colombia’s COVID-19 health emergency, could increase the prices of those goods. The elimination of excess productive capacity on the forecast horizon, with an output gap close to zero and somewhat higher than projected in January, is another factor to consider. As a consequence, annual inflation is expected to remain at high levels through June. Inflation should then decline, though at a slower pace than projected in the previous report. The adjustment process of the monetary policy rate wouldcontribute to pushing inflation and its expectations toward the target on the forecast horizon. Year-end inflation for 2022 is expected to be around 7.1%, declining to 4.8% in 2023. Economic activity again outperformed expectations. The technical staff’s growth forecast for 2022 has been revised upward from 4.3% to 5% (Graph 1.3). Output increased more than expected in annual terms in the fourth quarter of 2021 (10.7%), driven by domestic demand that came primarily because of private consumption above pre-pandemic levels. Investment also registered a significant recovery without returning to 2019 levels and with mixed performance by component. The trade deficit increased, with significant growth in imports similar to that for exports. The economic tracking indicator (ISE) for January and February suggested that firstquarter output would be higher than previously expected and that the positive demand shock observed at the end of 2021 could be fading slower than anticipated. Imports in consumer goods, retail sales figures, real restaurant and hotel income, and credit card purchases suggest that household spending continues to be dynamic, with levels similar to those registered at the end of 2021. Project launch and housing starts figures and capital goods import data suggest that investment also continues to recover but would remain below pre-pandemic levels. Consumption growth is expected to decelerate over the year from high levels reached over the last two quarters. This would come amid tighter domestic and external financial conditions, the exhaustion of suppressed demand, and a deterioration of available household income due to increased inflation. Investment is expected to continue to recover, while the trade deficit should tighten alongside high oil and other export commodity prices. Given all of the above, first-quarter economic growth is now expected to be 7.2% (previously 5.2%) and 5.0% for 2022 as a whole (previously 4.3%). Output growth would continue to moderate in 2023 (2.9%, previously 3.1%), converging similar to long-term rates. The technical staff’s revised projections suggest that the output gap would remain at levels close to zero on the forecast horizon but be tighter than forecast in January (Graph 1.4). These estimates continue to be affected by significant uncertainty associated with geopolitical tensions, external financial conditions, Colombia’s electoral cycle, and the COVID-19 pandemic. External demand is now projected to grow at a slower pace than previously expected amid increased global inflationary pressures, high oil prices, and tighter international financial conditions than forecast in January. The Russian invasion of Ukraine and its inflationary effects on prices for oil and certain agricultural goods and inputs accentuated existing global inflationary pressures originating in supply restrictions and increased international costs. A decline in the supply of Russian oil, low inventory levels, and continued production limits on behalf of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies (OPEC+) can explain increased projected oil prices for 2022 (USD 100.8/barrel, previously USD 75.3) and 2023 (USD 86.8/barrel, previously USD 71.2). The forecast trajectory for the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate has increased for this and next year to reflect higher real and expected inflation and positive performance in the labormarket and economic activity. The normalization of monetary policy in various developed and emerging market economies, more persistent supply and cost shocks, and outbreaks of COVID-19 in some Asian countries contributed to a reduction in the average growth outlook for Colombia’s trade partners for 2022 (2.8%, previously 3.3%) and 2023 (2.4%, previously 2.6%). In this context, the projected path for Colombia’s risk premium increased, partly due to increased geopolitical global tensions, less expansionary monetary policy in the United States, an increase in perceived risk for emerging markets, and domestic factors such as accumulated macroeconomic imbalances and political uncertainty. Given all the above, external financial conditions are tighter than projected in January report. External forecasts and their impact on Colombia’s macroeconomic scenario continue to be affected by considerable uncertainty, given the unpredictability of both the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the pandemic. The current macroeconomic scenario, characterized by high real inflation levels, forecast and expected inflation above 3%, and an output gap close to zero, suggests an increased risk of inflation expectations becoming unanchored. This scenario offers very limited space for expansionary monetary policy. Domestic demand has been more dynamic than projected in the January report and excess productive capacity would have tightened more quickly than anticipated. Headline and core inflation rose above expectations, reflecting more persistent and important external shocks on supply and costs. The Russian invasion of Ukraine accentuated supply restrictions and pressures on international costs. This partly explains the increase in the inflation forecast trajectory to levels above the target in the next two years. Inflation expectations increased again and are above 3%. All of this increased the risk of inflation expectations becoming unanchored and could generate indexation effects that move inflation still further from the target rate. This macroeconomic context also implies reduced space for expansionary monetary policy. 1.2 Monetary policy decision Banco de la República’s board of directors (BDBR) continues to adjust its monetary policy. In its meetings both in March and April of 2022, it decided by majority to increase the monetary policy rate by 100 basis points, bringing it to 6.0% (Graph 1.5).
