A month later George Osborne announced that the bonds would be available for a further three months after an initial take-up by 600,000 savers.
The first is that there is no cap on its size; and the expected initial take-up of £50 billion will be bigger, given the relative size of the two economies, than America's facility.
See articleMario Draghi, the president of the European Central Bank, said that an initial take-up of €82.6 billion ($106 billion) in new ultra-cheap financing by banks had been "within the range" he had expected, though it fell short of most economists' forecasts.
While there may not have been a big initial take-up in terms of numbers, those who are using it are doing so with a lot more vigour.
However, in practice, initial take-up from these firms was extremely low, so we also included the experimental control sample of firms and the booster sample of firms as possible candidates for matching and began matching on this full sample in June 2012, ending in December 2012.
The prolonged time allows a better longitudinal view on implementation, and in this case we were able to observe whether there was a drop off of intervention uptake after initial enthusiasm, or a steadily improving take up.
Uptake refers to initial attendance, take up or enrolment.
Taking up the initial differences between the groups through a pretest under different conditions, the participants in the experimental group went through a 12-session intervention program including static and dynamic training with emphasis on proprioceptive system.
The initial game universe can take up to five years to build and often requires the formation of a complex mythology to provide and maintain its narrative thrust through future add-ons and expansion packs.
