Does Financial Market Development Explain (Or At Least Predict) The Demand For Wealth Management And Private Banking Services In Developing Markets?, Bryane Michael, Christopher Hartwell, Gary Ho

How should wealth managers and private bankers find and serve the wealthy – particularly in developing countries? Several banks and consulting firms provide market sizing estimates for the number of high net worth and ultra-high net worth individuals. However, it is still an open question whether financial management services actually create wealth (or increase the number of wealthy persons). How can financial advisors know if, on a macro-level, their service offerings grow their collective assets under management and increase their prospect numbers? In this paper, we find evidence that advanced wealth management and private banking services might help grow a …

Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) serves as the example par excellence of a successful anti-corruption agency.

In this paper, we look at the ways in which the ICAC – technically a Chinese agency (albeit operating in a legally independent jurisdiction) – can help to reduce and prevent corruption on the Mainland. We find that …

Bringing Manufacturing Home: Implications For Emerging Markets Of The Reindustrialisation Of The Core Oecd, Bryane Michael

Will new technologies and policies bring manufacturing back to the US, Western Europe and Japan (or the core OECD)? Despite what the media pundits have told us, such manufacturing never really left (though many of the jobs did). The core OECD and its manufacturing companies already lead the world in industrial manufacturing. Much of the growth in emerging markets like China represents market expansion rather than stealing work from the core OECD. Moreover, both developed and emerging market manufacturers are not locked in a race to sell more, higher-valued manufactured goods. Even advanced market manufacturers sought to expand their low-valued …
