Factor Reversal In Euro Zone Stock Returns: Evidence From The Crisis Period, Hsin-I Chou, Jing Zhao, Sandy Suardi
Factor Reversal In Euro Zone Stock Returns: Evidence From The Crisis Period, Hsin-I Chou, Jing Zhao, Sandy Suardi
Sandy Suardi
The adoption of the euro led to a shift in importance from country to industry effects in euro zone stock returns. For the first time, this paper shows that country effects have regained importance in the recent spate of crises. This euro-wide factor reversal is driven by countries with poor economic fundamentals, comprising Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and Spain (PIIGS). The results imply that a more traditional country portfolio approach provides greater diversification benefits during crisis periods and the minimum-variance frontier of industry portfolios in PIIGS countries can be improved by adjusting country weights.

Challenges Of The Cooperative Movement In Addressing Issues Of Human Security In The Context Of A Neoliberal World: The Case Of Argentina, Stefan Ivanovski
Challenges Of The Cooperative Movement In Addressing Issues Of Human Security In The Context Of A Neoliberal World: The Case Of Argentina, Stefan Ivanovski
Stefan Ivanovski
The response of some Argentine workers to the 2001 crisis of neoliberalism gave rise to a movement of worker-recovered enterprises (empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores or ERTs). The ERTs have emerged as former employees took over the control of generally fraudulently bankrupt factories and enterprises. The analysis of the ERT movement within the neoliberal global capitalist order will draw from William Robinson’s (2004) neo-Gramscian concept of hegemony. The theoretical framework of neo-Gramscian hegemony will be used in exposing the contradictions of capitalism on the global, national, organizational and individual scales and the effects they have on the ERT movement. The …
Reconfiguration Of Operational Relationships Post The Current Global Economic Crisis, Lee Styger
Reconfiguration Of Operational Relationships Post The Current Global Economic Crisis, Lee Styger
Lee Styger
It is likely that classical models of strategic alliances may not be applicable moving forward into the new world economy post the current economic crisis. Traditional business models have considered each part of the business process in isolation, typically finance is remote from new product development, product development is remote from supply chain and operations etc. Prior to the economic crisis it was not unusual to see typical traditional silos within an organization never meeting, posing the question that if internal relationships were never fully forged how could a strong external strategic alliance be built and maintained? Furthermore, this silo …
No More Abuse: The Dodd-Frank And Consumer Financial Protection Act's "Abusive" Standard, Tiffany S. Lee
No More Abuse: The Dodd-Frank And Consumer Financial Protection Act's "Abusive" Standard, Tiffany S. Lee
Tiffany S Lee
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act creates the new Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. This consumer watchdog will be responsible for the most powerful consumer protections in American history. Under section 1031(d) of the Act, the Bureau may ban acts and practices that are unfair, deceptive, or abusive. While the unfair and deceptive standards have existed for some time, “abusive” is a relatively new legal standard with limited jurisprudential history. Thus, ironically, critics assert that the inclusion of the abusive standard is itself an abuse of legislative power. This Article asserts that despite some criticism to …

Do Or Die - Strategic Decision-Making Following A Shock-Event, Ingrid Bonn, Sharyn Rundle-Thiele
Do Or Die - Strategic Decision-Making Following A Shock-Event, Ingrid Bonn, Sharyn Rundle-Thiele
Ingrid Bonn
Little attention has been directed towards investigating how senior managers and boards approach strategic decision-making when dealing with shock events as compared to strategic decision-making in a stable environment. This paper presents evidence to suggest that strategic decision-making following a shock event involves a more intuitive, less analytical and less consultative approach, while decision-making in a stable environment is characterised by a more cooperative, formal and analytical process. Decision-making following a shock event tends to be simplified and fast, whereas decision-making in a stable environment tends to be comprehensive and slow. Furthermore, the strategic role of the board transforms following …
