Shift Towards Efficiency

May 29, 2016

Christmas lighting: the crisis accelerates the shift towards efficiency is reduced 49% average kWh consumed and a 19% the cost of installation power hours rub the 300 in Valencia and Malaga. St. Cruz de Tenerife reaches 400 cost per capita of installation of Madrid Barcelona doubled and lavishes more hours ADECES (Asociacion Pro civil rights economic and social) has conducted the study III on Christmas lighting in 30 cities, 11 more than last year. The data show that the crisis has accelerated the shift to more efficient lighting, in fact, the average kWh consumed is reduced by 49%, while the corresponding to hours of power remains next to the 200; Although there are cities that border on the 300, such as Valencia and Malaga and St. Cruz de Tenerife reaches 400. Adjustment of expenditure also moved to installation costs coming down 19%. With respect to large cities, Madrid and Barcelona, it should be noted that Madrid doubles the cost per capita of installation of Barcelona and exceeded their hours of lit by 32%.

The following conclusions regarding the analyzed parameters are extracted Studio: power on hours-we are still very far from the proposal of 135 hours of power that ADECES made in 2008, this Christmas, the average stands at 197 hours. Only three cities are below the limit proposed by the Association: Calahorra (108) and Cartagena and Puerto de Santa Maria (both with 120). These les are Zamora (149) and Logrono (150) slightly above the recommendation. Thirteen of the 30 analysed cities exceeded the average of 197 hours. So Santa Cruz de Tenerife (400), Valencia (296) and Malaga (274), exceeded the average by 103%, 49% and 39% respectively. To ADECES the number of hours that remain lit lighting in cities before mentioned, even more so in times of crisis, since the effort in efficient lighting seems designed to extend the Christmas lighting, in a clear sign of unnecessary waste is absolutely reprehensible.

State Money

June 25, 2014

If the interest rate is very low the public wish to possess larger amounts of cash, on the other hand if the interest rate is very high, people would seek to rid the cash with the consequent future profit by not spending money on this moment. Now well, even if the audience wanted to keep or get rid of cash as you vary the interest rate, it would be for the monetary policy of the State compensate the movements in demand for money from the public, so that interest rates rise or fall too much in comparison to the expectations that the State has for the better operation of the economy. Therefore, the interest rate is fixed by the action of the supply and demand for money. Technically the interest rate will have a variation that is intimately related to the prices of bonds and shares. When people have more money that wish to maintain, given your income and the level of the interest rate, it is likely to use the extra junk money to acquire bonds or stocks and other assets. any increase in the demand for stocks and bonds drives up their prices. This simultaneously reduces the interest rate. Why is this happening? The interest rate for an action is its performance by dividends, i.e.

the dividend in dollars divided by the share price. Suppose that initially the price of a stock that pays a dividend of $5 is $50, so that the yield from dividends is 0.10 or 10% (5/50). However, if there is a performance in actions demand that forced its price to rise to $100, the yield from dividends is reduced to 0.05 or 5% (of 5/50 to 5/100) that the $5 payment in dividends are not affected by changes in the price of the shares. In the same way, the annual payment in dollars for interest on a bond long-term, say $5 per year, it is not affected by movements in the prices of the bonds. If the price of the bond is originally $50, the bonus paid a yield interest or interest rate of 10% when the price of the bond rises to $100, performance is reduced to 5%. If there is a real oversupply of money in circulation (an offer above the needs of individuals for the current level of) (income and interest rates), it is likely that the prices on shares and bonds are rising and therefore the rate of interest declining. The opposite occurs if the offer is less than the needs of society.
