In the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, laws prescribe contributions ceilings (13 per cent of salaries, 4 per cent paid directly by the employer).

A special problem appears with the uncontrolled development of traffic. Industrial polluters' emissions are still considerably lower than in the pre war period, when it often exceeded ceilings.

So here was a room in which all the walls, floors, ceilings, pets, potted plants, whatever was in there, were capable, not only of display but of sensing as well.

The industrial codes of the New Deal set ceilings on the workweek for specified industries and workers. The Fair Labor Standards Act provided financial incentives by requiring overtime pay for employees working long hours.

States which advocated conditions such as budget ceilings and zero nominal growth before they would approve reduced budgets which failed to meet the Organization's needs were showing the true extent of their political will.

Those who went before them had also devised evil plans. God demolished their houses, destroying their very foundations. Their ceilings toppled on their heads and torment struck them from a direction which they had never expected.

Furthermore, the PBC uses unconventional instruments from time to time, such as credit ceilings or credit quotas imposed on commercial banks. This may result in extra reserves, which commercial banks cannot use to extend their credit lines.

(c) Any such transfer shall not result in any increase in the total combined ceilings on military and civilian personnel deployed in UNOCI, UNAMSIL and UNMIL determined by the Security Council in the respective mandates of the three missions,

Creating viable institutions for managing public debt in a democracy is difficult. The mechanisms currently on offer are treaty based, constitutional, and statutory debt ceilings, pegged as a ratio of GDP, or, as in the US, established in nominal terms.

Meanwhile, many privileged women, instilled with a strong sense of entitlement, dismiss feminism as passé. But gender discrimination continues to pervade all aspects of society, with most social and political institutions continuing to foster glass ceilings, if not outright female subordination.

This is precisely the kind of counter cyclical macroprudential policy that economists often recommend. But, whereas advanced economies rarely implement this advice, China and many other developing countries do tend to adjust regulation, including reserve requirements for banks and ceilings on homebuyers borrowing, counter cyclically.

2. Approves, with effect from 1 April 2003, amendments to articles 28 (g), 30 (c) and 34 (f), of the Regulations of the Fund, as set out in the annex to the present resolution, to increase the ceilings applicable in the commutation of the minimum benefit

Constitutional debt limits have yet to be tested in times of emergency, when new funding is needed quickly. And, as the recent impasse in the US demonstrates, political minorities with effective veto power can abuse statutory ceilings in an economic downturn, when dependence on external debt finance increases.

Focusing on steps such as these would go a long way toward attaining the often discussed goal of halving global carbon emissions by mid century. But reaching an accord that sets binding ceilings for what each country will be allowed to emit is not an option in Copenhagen.

Moreover, the macro tradition vacillates between specific recommendations ( set low and uniform tariffs, remove interest rate ceilings on banks, improve your doing business ranking ) that find limited support in cross country evidence, and broad recommendations that lack operational content ( integrate into world economy, achieve macroeconomic stability, improve contract enforcement ).

This will enable the Department for the Coordination of Emancipation Policy at the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment to compare women's access to senior positions in different sectors of the labour market, and to draw conclusions on the relative impermeability of the glass ceilings in these sectors.

Ideally, they would develop a set of specially tailored financial tools. For example, raising banks capital requirements when credit is booming could restrain lending and strengthen banks cushion against losses, while setting ceilings on loan to value ratios could rein in exuberant property markets, thereby heading off excessive risks for borrowers and lenders.

That goal is reflected in the European Union s current focus on creating a fiscal compact, which would constitutionalize member states commitment to supposedly inviolable deficit ceilings. Unfortunately, the compact is likely to be another example of Europe s subordination of economic reality to politicians desire for bragging rights about progress toward ever closer union.

And, while countries like the United Kingdom and New Zealand have experimented with giving central banks the power to place ceilings on loan to value ratios, this remains a bridge too far in the United States.

This fall in income has been magnified by rising household savings rates, driven by insufficient insurance for health care and old age, the high cost of education, growing income inequality, and demographic trends.

More recent developments may have contributed to the downward pressure on prices, including discussion about abolishing interest rate ceilings on deposits (the cap on term deposits of one year or more was removed on August 25).

Governments can help to persuade companies to let go of their cash by removing regulatory barriers such as zoning regulations in retail and a plethora of requirements in the construction sector concerning everything from the height of ceilings to the size of staircase areas. They should also address the lack of uniform standards across Europe s internal borders for example, there are 11 separate signaling systems for rail freight in the EU 15.
