Covered Interest Rate Parity: The Usd And Cny, Kimberly D. Scott Nov 2015

Covered Interest Rate Parity: The Usd And Cny, Kimberly D. Scott

Kimberly D Scott

One of many tests of international finance is a test termed Covered Interest Rate Parity (CIRP). This theorem posits that exchange rate forward premiums (discounts) are offset by the respective interest rate differential between two currencies (Bhargava, Dania, & Malhotra, 2011). To briefly describe another theorem of interest rate parity is the Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIRP). This theorem posits that a return on an uncovered foreign currency deposit should be equal to the return on a similar domestic deposit despite the national market the foreign deposit is located.


A Historical Reading Of China’S Foreign Exchange Reform And 1993 Currency Devaluation, Era Qian Nov 2015

A Historical Reading Of China’S Foreign Exchange Reform And 1993 Currency Devaluation, Era Qian

McDonough Research Journal

This paper aims at assessing China’s foreign exchange reform and analyzing the driving factors behind its 1993 currency devaluation. It focuses on the sequencing of reforming efforts and clarifies the different concepts of currency convertibility. It also discussed the special circumstances that led to reform at the time. Our research results suggest that China’s economic progress and policy orientation had drawn a clear roadmap for its reforming effort. Meanwhile, its existing swap center network, export subsidy elimination process, domestic inflation and entry to GATT made 1993 a critical timing to unite its dual exchange rate. China’s need for capital inflow …


Chinese Approach To Exchange Rates And Impact On Trade, Kimberly D. Scott Nov 2015

Chinese Approach To Exchange Rates And Impact On Trade, Kimberly D. Scott

Kimberly D Scott

The United States and China have embarked on considerable deliberation in the United States trade and the value of the Chinese currency among academics and politicians alike. Over the years, research on the two topics has consistently addressed the subject by investigating the equilibrium real exchange rate between the yuan (CNY) and the dollar (USD), with results exposing the undervaluation in the yuan since the 1990’s.


Cny & Usd: Foreign Exchange Rates, Kimberly D. Scott Nov 2015

Cny & Usd: Foreign Exchange Rates, Kimberly D. Scott

Kimberly D Scott

A forward rate is related to a spot rate that is set to take place in the future (Bekaert & Hodrick, 2012). Interestingly, one issue that can be challenging when performing transactions is not knowing what the rate will yield in the future versus at present. Due to market pressures or even policy decisions, either a devaluation or revaluation of domestic currency to foreign currencies can transpire.

SAJJAD KHAKSARI

"Quality Engineering & Italian Transport Companies" represents a preliminarily attempt to benefit from Quality Engineering methods for analyzing some parts of the real and hidden worlds of some Italian family-owned transport companies. It tries to highlight some things that normally remain neglected regarding the hidden internal workings of some Italian transport companies. In addition, this paper might be interesting for whoever wants to know more about this period in which some Italian family-run transport companies are facing the challenge of a future balancing modernism and traditionalism in their supply chain management (SCM).


Chinese Yuan And The American Dollar, Kimberly D. Scott Nov 2015

Chinese Yuan And The American Dollar, Kimberly D. Scott

Kimberly D Scott

The economic relationship between China and the United States has been a hit and miss discussion over the years. One question, in particular, has stimulated more than speculation, but empirical research of whether we know that China's currency is undervalued is certainly a trigger to perform further research.


Enterprise Resource Planning Ii – A Review Of Critical Success Factors, Andrew Laurence Norton Nov 2015

Enterprise Resource Planning Ii – A Review Of Critical Success Factors, Andrew Laurence Norton

Andrew Laurence Norton

Delivering benefits from enterprise resource planning (ERP) II is challenging and the current research investigates the allocation of resources contributing towards benefits realisation. A literature review has been undertaken based on critical success factor (CSF) analysis. This research has revealed that ERP CSF change over time and that only some traditional ERP CSF are used in ERP II, as some are unnecessary whilst others are detrimental. In addition, ERP II specific CSF are also required to address extended enterprise opportunities. The use of ranked CSF is proving to be ineffective and ERP II CSF must be phased-in during the implementation …


China's Outward Foreign Direct Investment And International Investment Law, Karl P. Sauvant, Michael D. Nolan Nov 2015

China's Outward Foreign Direct Investment And International Investment Law, Karl P. Sauvant, Michael D. Nolan

Karl P. Sauvant

As China’s outward foreign direct investment (FDI) has grown, its approach to international investment agreements (IIAs) has changed. China is now one of the world’s most important outward investors, with Chinese FDI facing widespread criticism. The challenge for China is to adapt to this new configuration of interests stemming from these developments, both in terms of its national policies and the contents of its IIAs. In so doing, it is likely to influence, perhaps significantly, the further evolution of international investment law. This article deals briefly with the salient features of China’s outward FDI and the policies that support it; …

Perspectives Of Entrepreneurship And Its Impact On Stakeholders’ Co-Creation, Ridhi Arora Research Scholar

In the past decade, the topic of entrepreneurship has undergone a lot of scholarly examination by academics and management practitioners (Naudé, 2013). Entrepreneurship aims to bring about the cohesive integration of social, economic, institutional, and cultural environments, both at the individual level and the group level. The entrepreneurship concept has been built on the strong historical roots that have led to advancements in entrepreneurial research and its related areas. This chapter provides coverage of the various theoretical perspectives underlying the origin and evolution of entrepreneurship. As the concept of entrepreneurship represents a “multifaceted phenomenon” (Toma et al., 2014), I will …

Success And Collaboration, Diane Wright Oct 2015

Success And Collaboration, Diane Wright

Diane Wright

Why Collaboration Leads to Success. According to Merriam-Webster.com, “Success is currently in the top 1% of lookups and is the 152nd most popular word on Merriam-Webster.com.” Clearly, this is a subject of interest to many. Somethings can be accomplished with minimal assistance, however; collaboration and cooperation leads to greater success. Working with others to produce or create something may be challenging. Yet, the rewards often far outweigh the challenges.

Here are 3 benefits I have received from collaborative efforts: 1- Build Relationships For example, while speaking with an executive in an unrelated field, we realized the opportunity that we had …

Defining Your Own Sustainable Future, Jacob Johnsen

Jacob Johnsen, MSc

How do you create – and maintain – an attractive service portfolio, and how to compete in a shifting environment? In our changing world, survival is not a question of size, speed or coverage. You must be adaptive. Posts can find out where to adapt, by examining the changes in customer behaviour, changing demands and technological achievements. Volumes are shifting from letters to packets, and so far, courier companies have taken market share from posts. Jacob Johnsen looks at the current changes and gives some guidelines on how to set up pointers for an ever-changing direction.

The Changing Climate Of Black Hair Care: Marketing To Natural Consumers, Jasmin Joseph, Undergraduate Program

McDonough Research Journal

This study is a comprehensive analysis of the black hair care industry and the changes within it as a result of an increase in consumers with “natural hair,” that is, those embracing their natural hair texture as opposed to manipulating it permanently by chemical means. Rapid changes in technology have changed the way consumers engage with product offerings and lowered barriers to entry for new brands. As a result, the historical points of parity and overall branding methodology within black hair and beauty products have drastically changed and manifested in the form of declining sales for over 75% of the …

The Political Consequences Of Party System Change, Riccardo Pelizzo, Zim Nwokora Aug 2015

The Political Consequences Of Party System Change, Riccardo Pelizzo, Zim Nwokora

riccardo pelizzo

This article engages one of the important gaps in the literature on party system effects: the consequences of party system change. We discuss how existing empirical approaches to party system change do not actually capture the changeability of patterns of party competition, which is the most direct understanding of the term “party system.” We propose a measure that does exactly this: the index of fluidity. Applying this measure to countries in South East Asia, we show that party system change is associated with harmful effects, including lower foreign direct investment and deterioration of the rule of law
