TL;DR: In this article, the authors classify countries that define their monetary policy framework by an inflation target into full-fledged inflation targeters, inflation targeting lite regimes, based on indicators of the clarity and credibility of the commitment to the inflation target.
Abstract: This paper classifies countries that define their monetary policy framework by an inflation target into full-fledged inflation targeters, eclectic inflation targeters and inflation targeting lite regimes. This classification is based on indicators of the clarity and credibility of the commitment to the inflation target. The three regimes can be viewed as corresponding to different welfare maximizing combinations of policy objectives, each conditional on a country's "endowed" level of credibility. The credibility of the regimes is related empirically to structural differences. Policy implications are drawn, especially for emerging market countries aiming at full-fledged inflation targeting.

TL;DR: In this paper, a measure of teacher credibility was developed and tested on the assumption that a teacher's credibility with his students is related to student learning, and data obtained from 1,80 students in basic speech communication courses from two universities indicated five dimensions of teacher credible: "Character,", "Sociability,” “Composure,“ “Extroversion, and “Competence.
Abstract: On the assumption that a teacher's credibility with his students is related to student learning, a measure of teacher credibility was developed and tested. Data obtained from 1,80 students in basic speech communication courses from two universities indicated five dimensions of teacher credibility: “Character,” “Sociability,” “Composure,” “Extroversion,” and “Competence.” These dimensions were found useful for predicting some aspects of student learning. A 14‐item instrument for the measurement of teacher credibility is recommended.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis of 51 studies examining the associations among teacher credibility, teacher behaviors, and student outcomes is presented. But, the results highlight the unique contributions of perceived caring to the teacher credibility construct, as well as the meaningful role that teacher credibility plays in student outcomes.
Abstract: This meta-analysis reviews the findings of 51 studies (N = 14,378) examining the associations among teacher credibility, teacher behaviors, and student outcomes. When all three dimensions of credibility are considered collectively (i.e., competence, trustworthiness, and caring), the cumulative evidence indicates a moderate, meaningful relationship between teacher credibility and overall outcomes (r=.448). Similar overall effect sizes were observed for competence (r=.481), trustworthiness (r=.477), and caring (r=.554), though the overall effect size for caring was greater in magnitude than that obtained for credibility measured as a single factor (r=.294). On average, higher correlations were observed when researchers measured all three dimensions of credibility (r=.518) than when they only measured competence and character (r=.256). Collectively, the results highlight the unique contributions of perceived caring to the teacher credibility construct, as well as the meaningful role that teacher credibility ...

TL;DR: Oblfeld et al. as discussed by the authors studied the London bond market from the 1870s to the 1930s and found that public debt and British Empire membership were important determinants of spreads after World War One, but not before.
Abstract: Author(s): Obstfeld, Maurice; Taylor, Alan M. | Abstract: What determines sovereign risk? We study the London bond market from the 1870s to the 1930s. Our findings support conventional wisdom concerning the low credibility of the interwar gold standard. Before 1914 gold standard adherence effectively signalled credibility and shaved up to 30 basis points from country borrowing spreads. In the 1920s, however, simply resuming prewar gold parities was insufficient to secure benefits. Countries that devalued before resumption were treated more favorably, and markets scrutinized other signals. Public debt and British Empire membership were important determinants of spreads after World War One, but not before.
