Psychological factors associated with consumer behavior in completing debt management plans (DMPs) in credit counseling were identified. Guided by the theory of planned behavior, the study used a unique data set combining the survey data along with plan completion status data from a sample of clients of a national credit counseling agency. Findings suggest that consumers are more likely to report their intentions toward completing a DMP when they view completion favorably and anticipate completing the plan with ease, compared to those who view completion negatively and anticipate difficulty in completing a plan. In turn, the study shows that consumers' behavioral intentions directly affect their behavior-in this case, DMP completion. Furthermore, some evidence suggests that satisfaction...

Traditional quantitative methods used in finance, developed to control market risks accumulated by human traders, do not incorporate quality control. Finance is moving from manual to computer numerical control (CNC). The authors view trading systems that employ CNC as machines with variable outputs-outputs that can be inspected using statistical process control (SPC). Using a sample trading system, they find that quality metrics generate an investment signal contrary to that generated by the traditional metrics of finance. To manage trading machines, SPC can be used in conjunction with classical financial metrics to control risk in systematic trading and investment.

Before Carl Friedrich Gauss was even born, Abraham deMoivre used the Gaussian distribution in 1733 to approximate the binomial distribution. In the early 1800s, while supervising a surveying project, Gauss observed that the average of repeated measurements tends to have a bell shaped distribution. While some definitions are neutral, others suggest it is bad to be non-normal. Whoever first applied the normal label to the Gaussian distribution could have had neutral intent, but today's typical presentation of the normal distribution in Six Sigma training is far from neutral. Many statistical tools for estimation and testing do not assume a Gaussian or any other distribution. Two of the most common Six Sigma tools, control charts and capability metrics, do not have nonparametric versions t...

In the spring of 2004, there was widespread expectation in financial markets that the Federal Reserve would shortly begin the process of raising its federal funds rate target back toward a more normal level. Much of this concern was based on the sizable increases in long-term rates that occurred when the Federal Reserve tightened monetary policy in 1994-1995 and 1999-2000. In contrast to the conventional wisdom, however, longer-term rates actually declined as the funds rate target rose. This article provides a framework for understanding the relationship between monetary policy and the yield curve that can be used to analyze the behavior of long-term rates during periods of monetary policy tightening. The authors use the framework to examine two recent episodes of policy tightening, in ...
