Reducing duration cuts down on the risk of shifts in yields and inflation expectations.
In a rare shift in yield relationships, the typical tax-exempt bond has been providing a higher return, even before tax considerations, than Treasury bonds of similar maturity.
Climate change may bring about a substantial shift in yield reliability.
Climate change and LULC change may result in shifts in water yield (precipitation less evapotranspiration), thereby making the cropland suitability layer and base yield estimates imperfect predictors of 2015 patterns in cropland productivity and base yields.
"Clam" barely moves at all, yet ceaseless shifts in instrumentation yield arresting combinations.
For instance, the adverse scenario could feature sizable increases in oil or natural gas prices or shifts in the yield curve that are atypical in a recession.
(2005) and thus hedge the portfolio against the risks of parallel shifts in the yield curve.
(2005) in order to hedge our portfolios against the risks of parallel shifts in the yield curve.
In particular, the results presented provide evidence for idiosyncratic Chla TN relationships for individual ecosystems and suggest that much of the variability in the trajectories and Chla TN relationships among individual systems derives from consistent shifts in the yield of chlorophyll per unit nitrogen.
The mechanisms leading to shifts in the yield of chlorophyll per unit nitrogen must be investigated under a range of scales, from physiological experiments, to investigate the responses to increasing CO2 and temperature, to mesocosm scales where effects from changes in food webs can be investigated.
Based on these results, the Michigan researchers conclude: "Real and important opportunities exist to improve the resource use efficiency and environmental impact of the US food system that do not require increased yields or shifts in production, but are instead dependent on consumer behaviors".
