The voting structures of the World Bank and the IMF are heavily weighted towards developed countries.

They're all weighted equally.

Methodology for deriving weighted ranges

Weighted ranges (baseline and variants)

Accordingly, the weighted membership factor is 93,288 points (40 per cent of 233,219), the weighted population factor is 11,611 points (5 per cent) and the weighted contribution factor is 128,270 points (55 per cent).

The weighted baseline is variant 0w, which is the transposition of the current system from non weighted to weighted (base figure 2,700, membership 40 per cent, population 5 per cent, contribution 55 per cent).

The resulting figure is weighted by the gross salary per annum in United States dollars divided by 1,000 (ibid., fourth column) to produce a weighted base figure (ibid., fifth column).

However, the main (non weighted) system of desirable ranges remains applicable.

The weighted midpoint in table 4 represents the sum of the weighted membership, population and contribution factors, and the weighted range is calculated as 15 per cent upwards and downwards (but not less than 415 points up and down (4.8 times 86.37), with the upper limit being not less than 1,209 points (14 times 86.37).

(c) Changes to geographical distribution by application of the weighted system of ranges.

Different methods have been used to calculate the weighted ranges over the years.

In case of an even distribution of staff of a Member State from the P 2 to the D 2 grade and beyond, the difference between the weighted and non weighted systems of ranges is minimal, and an application of the weighted system will not lead to changes in the representation status of that Member State.

The application of the weighted system on the current population of staff in posts subject to geographical distribution as at 31 December 2004 indicates variations when compared with the baseline for the non weighted variant (variant 0).

Any difference in Member States' representation between the weighted and the non weighted systems of ranges is determined by the way the staff of any country is distributed over the different grades in the Professional and higher categories.

It's counter weighted so that when you push the door up, it glides really easily.

A frequency measure can also be expressed in weighted terms based on either imports or production.

C. Scenario III weighted ranges and posts within the context of the system of desirable ranges

It also improved the analysis on drug abuse trends through the Weighted Analysis on Drug Abuse Trends.

The European Foundation for Quality Management analyses organizations according to a list of weighted enablers and results.

The rules of international trade and finance and technology access are weighted against the poor and the weak.

The creatures were around 18 feet (five metres) long on average, and weighted up to 3,000 pounds (1,300 kg).

As at 30 June 2004, the weighted average value of each post was 86.37 points (233,219 divided by 2,700).

And by rating it and by rating the different people who submit information, we can get refined results and weighted results.

If the bank attaches a 10 risk weight to the loan, the risk weighted equivalent is 20,000. If the amount of bank capital needed to protect that risk weighted equivalent is 10 , then the bank requires just 2,000 of its own capital to fund the mortgage, 198,000 of which the bank itself borrows.

Based on the results of an air dispersion model, Kuwait estimates daily concentrations of particulate matter and calculates population weighted exposure estimates.

Projections for the period 2006 2015 are based on weighted annual growth rates for both regular and other resources as per the current MTSP.

These figures represent the global numbers for each Member State a separate calculation based on the same factors results in a weighted base figure.

In the first three variants, one of the three factors is weighted at 100 per cent and the other two factors at 0 per cent.

The new salary scales reflect an overall weighted average increase of 40.7 per cent for national General Service staff and 32.5 per cent for national officers.

The weighted staff position for each Member State comprises the total number of staff of that country by grade, multiplied by the gross annual salary by grade.

Where disaggregated data are available, aside from the presence of websites according to size of companies, the presence of websites can vary significantly among industrial classifications and can affect the weighted total.

Variant 4w (contribution at 100 per cent) will bring 156 Member States within range (higher than both the weighted and unweighted baselines) but increases the numbers of underrepresented and overrepresented Member States.

Tariff rates have been reduced from a weighted average of 14 per cent to 9 per cent and the plethora of tariff bands have been reduced to six this will simplify assessments by customs.

The pro growth rationale for reducing the US corporate tax rate is compelling, and explains why Obama has proposed cutting it from 35 to 28 (roughly the weighted average rate of the other developed countries).

Parents should be responsible not only towards their children, but towards society.

Regulators are already talking about imposing leverage ratios, as well as limits on risk weighted assets. If they follow through, as I expect, there will be no return to the strategies of the last two decades.

The first answer, of course, is that the trade weighted dollar has fallen by more than 15 in real terms since its peak in early 2002. Yet the US deficits have persisted, and even risen, since then.

In Germany, for example, interest rates on public debt up to five years will be negative, and only slightly positive beyond that, producing a weighted average of zero. Clearly, Japan s near zero interest rate environment is no longer unique.

Currently, for the weighted range, midpoint and staff position data for each Member State (see table 4), the percentage of total staff in each grade (ibid., second column) is applied to the base figure of 2,700 (ibid., third column).
