Share-Price-Changes-Volume Relation On The Singapore Equity Market, David K. C. Lee, Mohamed Ariff

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

A critical review of the literature on security-price-changes-volume research suggests that the published studies in the United States and one each in Hong Kong and Japan have largely ignored the impacts on the results from autocorrelation, non-normality of distributions, heteroscedasticity and non-linear functional forms. Therefore, the reported findings are not robust. In testing for this relation from a small sample of continuously traded shares in the Singapore share market, we find that consistent results may not be obtained because of violations of basic test conditions. A task that remains is an application of alternative test models with data transformation using …

An Analysis Of The Role Of Latin American Labor Unions Under Democratization: The Argentine Cgt's Role Under President Carlos Menem, Giselle Audrey De Bruno

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Labor unions have played an important role in Latin American society. This is particularly true in Argentine, where the labor union movement gained strength in 1946 under the populist government of Juan Domingo Peron. When Carlos Menem, from the Peronist party, assumed presidency in 1989, the CGT, Argentina's labor confederation, expected traditional populism to return. Instead, Menem abandoned populism and aligned with the Conservative right to implement a neoliberal agenda.

This thesis explores the processes by which Argentine labor unions lost strength during the dual processes of democratization and market reforms. By analyzing the CGT since Menem become president, this …

Indirect Transfers In Trade Among Former Soviet Union Republics: Sources, Patterns, And Policy Responses In The Post-Soviet Period, Lucjan T. Orlowski

WCBT Faculty Publications

Reports on indirect transfers in trade among the former Soviet Union Republics. The Former Soviet Union (FSU) was composed of 15 republics which were very unevenly endowed with human, physical and natural resources. To contain regional imbalances within the Union and to integrate all republics into a tight and centrally commanded division of labour, the central government operated a scheme of vertical fiscal redistribution between the Union budget and the republican budgets. Through this system poorer republics became net receivers of direct transfers and richer republics became net donors. This scheme, which collapsed with the dissolution of the Union in …

Prosecutorial Discretion And The Conditional Waiver: Lessons From The Japanese Experience, Mark Findlay

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

A unique characteristic of prosecutorial discretion in Japan is the formal practice of suspension. From the later part of last century, public prosecutors were presented with the discretionary option of waiving or suspending prosecution dependent on certain conditions.

Auctions For Transferable Objects: Theory And Evidence From The Vehicle Quota System In Singapore, David K. C. Lee, Winston T. H. Koh

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

This paper studies the hypothesis that auctions with resale markets result in higher prices. The vehicle quota system introduced in Singapore in May 1990 provides the setting. The Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) necessary to purchase new cars were initially transferable for all quota categories. After October 1991, COEs for four major categories became non-transferable. Our results indicate that while the conversion to non-transferability eliminated speculation, it has also intensified competition among car distributors. Auctions for non-transferable COEs in fact led to higher COE prices in three of the four categories.

Review Of Ecology And Human Organization On The Great Plains By Douglas B. Bamforth, David J. Wishart

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

In this compact book, the outgrowth, or reprint, of his dissertation, Douglas Bamforth focuses his attention on cultural-ecological relationships between Native American hunters and the physical environments of the Great Plains. Specifically, Bamforth is concerned with forging a link between the social organization of historic and prehistoric hunters and their resource base, particularly the bison. It is a thoroughly professional study, drawing from a wide array of interdisciplinary evidence. The reader is systematically led from initial theoretical considerations, where a predictive theory is postulated, through an exegesis of grassland and ungulate ecology, to the application of the theory to regional …

Review Of Wilderness Issues In The Arid Lands Of The Western United States By Samuel I. Zeveloff And Cyrus M. Mckell, Thomas R. Dunlap

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

This is a set of papers on the problems of establishing and managing Western arid land wilderness. All are sensible, and together they provide a judicious and reasonably complete introduction to this specialized area of land management. The book begins with the editors' introduction, followed by Utah Congressman Wayne Owens' discussion of Utah's arid lands and their value as wilderness. This, a pleasant surprise, rises above the usual level of Congressional commentary for constituents. Three case studies follow. One concerns raptor preservation on the Snake River, another the conflicting interests of bighorn sheep and horses, the third fish preservation in …

Review Of Ecology And Conservation Of Neotropical Migrant Landbirds By John M. Hagan Iii And David W. Johnston, William Scharf

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

When I first began to notice changes in the numbers and bird species that I netted on the Great Lakes' islands in the 1970s, I had little comprehension of the extent to which global modifications already underway were driving the changes in bird populations. With this compendium based on a symposium hosted by Manomet Bird Observatory in December, 1989, ornithologists can now substantiate the validity and seriousness of such earlier observations. The erosion of Neotropical bird populations is only one of many symptoms of planetary deterioration.

Under An Open Sky: Rethinking America'swestern Past. William Cronon,, John R. Wunder

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

Environmental studies is a growing field that brings new knowledge almost every day and certainly with every press's new listings. Many Western social scientists are attracted to it as a means of explicating the past, present, and future of North America. It is not new to Western historians. James C. Malin and Walter Prescott Webb were two pathfinders in studies of the environment over five to seven decades ago, but ecological impacts on human actions were somewhat forgotten by historians in the interim. During the past fifteen years environmental history has become a staple in studies of the American West. …

Review Of Birds In Kansas, Volume Ii By Max C. Thompson And Charles Ely. Lawrence, Thomas E. Labedz

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

It has been nearly 30 years since the last of several excellent compendia of Kansas birds was published. Birds in Kansas continues this tradition and raises it to a new level of excellence for Kansas. Readers expecting a Kansas version of Robert's The Birds of Minnesota will be disappointed, but very few others can complain.

Birds of Kansas, Volume II is the final volume and contains an explanation of species accounts and accounts for the passerines. Volume I, published in 1989, contains introductory, historical, and physiographical chapters, an explanation of the species accounts, and accounts for non-passerines.

Each species account …

Review Of Economic Models Of Agricultural Land Conservation And Environmental Improvement By Earl O. Heady And Gary F. Vocke, Kent W. Olson

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

American agriculture faces many difficult and often conflicting challenges. It is expected to satisfy growing demands for agricultural commodities both at home and abroad at reasonable prices to consumers without impairing the productivity of the nation's cropland, exceeding the sustained yield of the country's water resources, or degrading the quality of the environment.

There is ample evidence that farmers have not fully achieved these goals. But can they? If not, are there policies that would still create an improvement in the status quo? The Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University has been at the forefront …

Review Of Law For The Elephant, Law For The Beaver: Essays In The Legal History Of The North American West By John Mclaren, Hamar Foster And Chet Orloff, Gordan Morris Bakken

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

This collection of twelve essays displays the vitality of Western legal history and the potential for fruitful exploration of transborder legal history. John Phillip Reid's masterful survey of Western American and Canadian legal history presents both the results of research and the contours of future scholarly inquiry for generations of legal historians. David Percy and John P. S. McLaren contribute insightful comparative essays on water law and anti-Chinese activities in courts and legislatures. Other essays cover frontier criminal justice administration, aboriginal rights, jurisdiction and extraterritoriality, the cultural and legal implications of anti-Chinese discrimination, and constitution-making. This ambitious book tells us …

Review Of Battle Against Extinction: Native Fish Management In The American West By W. L. Minckley And James E. Deacon, John D. Lynch

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

If you enjoy the West or are interested in or angry about conservationists and conservation biology, this book is a must. The book consists of the papers presented at a conference celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the founding of the Desert Fishes Council and emphasizes fish conservation in the Colorado River and desert southwest. Before water development (and even now) the West was dry and the image of fishes living in the desert an impossible one. Nevertheless, across the spread of the West, one finds canyon-bound rivers, isolated lakes (some with interesting chemistries), wet meadows, and spring heads. In these …

Review Of Archaeology And Ethnohistory Of The Omaha Indians: The Big Village Site By John M. O'Shea And John Ludwickson, Robin Ridington

Great Plains Research: A Journal of Natural and Social Sciences

Until recently, anthropological archaeology considered the burial grounds of Native Americans to be a proper subject of scientific investigation with little or no consideration for the cultural values of contemporary Native people regarding the resting places of their ancestors. Between 1939 and 1941 archaeologists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln excavated cemeteries and dwelling sites of the Omaha tribe at the site of their former village near the present town of Homer, Nebraska. Known to Omahas as Ton'wontonga (Big Village), the site was occupied from 1775 to 1845. Under the direction ofJohn Champe, the remains of something like a hundred Omahas …
