Firms in advanced economies are now cutting jobs, owing to inadequate final demand, which has led to excess capacity, and to uncertainty about future demand. But cutting jobs weakens final demand further, because it reduces labor income and increases inequality.

Consistent with recoveries from such recessions, demand has grown slowly, despite unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus, and that explains why the unemployment rate remains high. Indeed, businesses cite uncertainty about the strength of demand, not uncertainty about regulation or taxation, as the main factor holding back job creation.

Economic growth is expected to moderate in 2005 in all three countries if the external environment weakens and uncertainty remains about the sustainability of domestic demand.

And uncertainty results in caution.

Rapid global demand for electricity, increasing uncertainty in supply and prices of oil and natural gas, and concerns about the greenhouse gas emissions have opened more prospects for the new development of nuclear energy at the global scale.

Manufacturing Scientific Uncertainty

The uncertainty values have been grouped into five sets of uncertainty bands, with corresponding conservativeness factors, by assigning a given uncertainty values to a given band.

They make errors of logic in reasoning with uncertainty.

The uncertainty values were then mapped into the appropriate uncertainty band, to yield a conservativeness factor.

Arab States of Uncertainty

Uncertainty Shifts to China

Play is one of the only human endeavors where uncertainty is actually celebrated. Uncertainty is what makes play fun.

And numbers in between give you the gray levels of uncertainty.

And fifth, the element of uncertainty.

Only doubts and questioning and uncertainty.

Now, who remembers Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?

The Anatomy of Global Economic Uncertainty

As was done for the other IPCC inventory sectors, the conservativeness factors for LULUCF have primarily been derived using the uncertainty values and parameters provided in the IPCC good practice guidance for LULUCF, or a combined uncertainty range calculated from the uncertainty ranges for the input parameters.

Even seasickness is a consequence of uncertainty.

OXFORD Throughout the history of the oil industry, fear and concern about the imminent exhaustion of oil reserves has been a recurring theme. Such sentiments often spread and capture the public imagination at times of rapidly rising oil demand, sharp spikes in energy prices, and geo political uncertainty.

We are not good at reasoning with uncertainty.

The problem with questions is they create uncertainty.

I define vulnerability as emotional risk, exposure, uncertainty.

Lebanon has since been beset by political uncertainty.

But, while GDP growth seems to be returning slowly to potential, the slow pace of recovery in employment and the residual secular shifts in income distribution remain causes of concern. In particular, the shift of income from those who save less to those who save more implies uncertainty about the restoration of aggregate demand.

The manufacturing of scientific uncertainty endangers the public s health, as well as programs to protect public health and to compensate victims. It is time to return to first principles use the best science available, but do not demand certainty where it does not exist.

In Togo, more than 30,000 people fled political uncertainty and serious violence by mid 2005.

So I cannot predict the outcome, and neither can the masters of the universe in the City of London, who always become jittery in the face of political uncertainty. What I can do is try to explain why that uncertainty exists.

However, a climate of political uncertainty and insecurity still lingers in certain parts of the country.

So what is evolution's answer to the problem of uncertainty?

Security challenges continue to create worldwide havoc, fear and uncertainty.

Such a regime would be a source of legal uncertainty.

We acknowledged the widespread fear and uncertainty generated by terrorism.

1. Don t feign confidence. Nobody likes uncertainty we all wish the experts knew exactly what will happen. But we cope better with candidly acknowledged uncertainty than with false confidence.

Moreover, production may occur in response to actual demand, not anticipated or forecast demand. In some sense, this represents the ultimate compression of supply chains, as firms produce to final demand with minimal delay.

During a period characterized by heightened political uncertainty in the country, southern Lebanon enjoyed a relative calm.

He said there's just not in demand.

Cochrane understood that uncertainty, that fallibility, that being challenged, they hurt.

The payoffs to innovation are greatest where the uncertainty is highest.

Because what I've been trying to do is really celebrate uncertainty.

Because I think only through uncertainty is there potential for understanding.

Second, the Chinese production mix does not correspond to domestic demand, and investment in long products has outpaced demand growth.

In this case, supply right next to demand.

Strengthening international cooperation in drug demand reduction programmes

Back to some of the more mundane issues of thinking about uncertainty.
