Regimens: For Omega-3s, Fish May Beat Pills

By NICHOLAS BAKALAR
Taking supplements of omega-3 fatty acids does not have the same effect of reducing the risk of stroke as eating fish high in omega-3s, a study shows.In an interview, David Drummond, Google’s chief legal officer, said Google’s revenue in China was “immaterial.” But he acknowledged that Google could eventually miss an opportunity presented by a booming Internet market. “I suppose there is a risk there if it becomes a major market.

匯率制度英文exchange rate regime)指一國貨幣管理部門外匯市場管理本國貨幣與其他貨幣關係的方式。匯率制度與貨幣政策有密切的關係,兩者通常受共同因素所影響。
匯率為一國貨幣和其他國家貨幣之間的兌換比例。根據經濟學傳統的分類,匯率制度可粗略地劃分為三種:浮動匯率,意即由市場主宰標的貨幣匯率的變化;釘住浮動,即是由中央銀行維持匯率在某個目標範圍或指定數值附近上下浮動;固定匯率,貨幣與黃金、某種國際性貨幣(通常該國際性貨幣選擇多為美元或者歐元)之間的匯率被鎖定在某一點或者採用一籃子貨幣組合來維持其幣值。這裡所指的匯率是官方匯率,即是中央銀行與一般銀行之間的兌換率,而非外匯交易根據的市場匯率。
實務上的情況則較複雜,國際貨幣基金會在2006年公布了對世界各國匯率制度的分類[1],當中把各國制度按其浮動性分爲以下八種。
An exchange rate regime is the way a monetary authority of a country or currency union manages the currency in relation to other currencies and the foreign exchange market. It is closely related to monetary policy and the two are generally dependent on many of the same factors, such as economic scale and openness, inflation rate, elasticity of the labor marketfinancial market development, capital mobility etc.
