This
CD-ROM contains a course on working with balance of payments statistics
(BOP). The course is intended both for compilers, who gather and classify
BOP statistics, and for analysts who use those statistics. The program
uses a case study approach to teaching the principles of classification
and analysis of international transactions. The user, who is on assignment,
is faced with realistic problems that need resolution. There are several
opportunities to get help by browsing sections of the IMF's Balance
of Payments Manual and by taking a course in the "BOP Institute."
This
CD-ROM contains English versions of the following balance of payments
methodological publications:
The
exchange rate is a highly visible indicator and a key policy variable--one
that can have considerable impact on a country's well-being. Because the
exchange rate is so important, issues of exchange rate policy are often
hotly debated--and vital to understand. The IMF Institute and Harvard
University's John F. Kennedy School of Government have produced an interactive
computer-based training program on CD that lets you explore exchange rate
issues in different ways. First, there is a tutorial on exchange rate
concepts complete with exercises and simulations. Second, there is a case
study focusing on important exchange rate issues in Poland debated by the President of the Central Bank of Poland, the Deputy Minister
of Finance, and IMF officials. And third, there is a searchable database
with an extensive collection of articles about these issues.
The
IMF Glossary on CD-ROM, is a compilation of English, French, German,
Russian, and Spanish terminology, comprising approximately 60,000 terms
on money, banking, public finance, economic growth, and fiscal policy.
It is powered by TRADOS' Multi-Term Dictionary. This CD also contains
supplementary information on the IMF's role and activities, including
Articles of Agreement, By-Laws, and currency units providing a
complete list of currency units and adjectives of nationality of member
countries and territories of the world in English, French, German, Russian,
and Spanish.
This
interactive computer-based training program provides a comprehensive treatment
of the interrelations among macroeconomic accounts and the flow of funds.
It is the first CD-ROM produced by the IMF Institute on a core subject
of its courses. The subject is presented in a variety of ways, using video,
audio, and text, and the main points are illustrated with graphics and
numerical examples. The program demonstrates how to construct a flow-of-funds table from available macroeconomic accounts and how to resolve inconsistencies
in the data. Then, it lets the user exercise these skills on a flow-of-funds table for an actual case, and the program provides feedback as the
task is being completed. The CD-ROM includes a glossary and answers to
40 frequently asked questions. 1997.
