Between Realignments And Intervention: The Belgian Franc In The European Monetary System, Kees G. Koedijk, Phillip A. Stork, Casper G. De Vries
Between Realignments And Intervention: The Belgian Franc In The European Monetary System, Kees G. Koedijk, Phillip A. Stork, Casper G. De Vries
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
We analyse the fuctioning of the Belgian franc in the European Monetary System between 1979 and 1991. A discrete time target zone model which captures the features displayed by the continuous time models is combined with intervention data provided by the Belgian central bank. Simple prediction formulas are derived to calculate one-week-ahead conditional probabilities on a realignment of the Belgian franc relative to the Deutsche mark. The devaluation probabilities are matched with the intervention data. We find support fo rhte notion that Belgian intervention policy was a policy of leaning against the wind.
International Human Resource Strategy And Control: The Case Of Multinationals And Their Subsidiaries, John M. Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Bih-Shiaw Jaw
International Human Resource Strategy And Control: The Case Of Multinationals And Their Subsidiaries, John M. Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Bih-Shiaw Jaw
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study examined the relationship between International Human Resource (IHR) Strategy and International Human Resource Control. To do so, Jarillo and Martinez's (1990) framework for parent--subsidiary business strategy was recast into an IHR strategy context and Snell's (1992) conceputualization of control int he supervisor--subordinate relationship was extended to the parent--subsidiary setting. Data from 100 subsidiaries and their parents shwoed that subsidiaries adopt one of three (receptive, active, or autonomous) IHR strategies. In addition, the data demonstrate that a globally integrated IHR strategy is associated with tighter control over the subsidiary's selection, performance evaluation, and reward systems and looser control over …
On The Determinants Of Corporate Hedging With Financial Derivatives, Stephen R. Goldberg, Joseph H. Godwin, Myung-Sun Kim, Charles A. Tritschler
On The Determinants Of Corporate Hedging With Financial Derivatives, Stephen R. Goldberg, Joseph H. Godwin, Myung-Sun Kim, Charles A. Tritschler
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
We examine explanations for corporate policy choices related to the use of derivative financial instruments. Recent corporate disclosure requirements allows us to replicate and extend the work of Nance, Smith and Smithson (1993, NSS) using a larger sample. We extend previous research by considering interest rate and foreign exchange hedging separately, using continuous rather than binary measures of hedging, and including variables measuring level of multinationality and exposure to interest rate and foreign exchange rate changes. The findings document robust empirical relationships among corporate policy decisions and firm characteristics. In a tobit regression analysis, our results suggest that firms which …
The Mediating Effects Of Pre- And Post-Assignment Activities On The Quality Of Work Life Of Expatriates: Evidence For Managers In The P.R.C., John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin
The Mediating Effects Of Pre- And Post-Assignment Activities On The Quality Of Work Life Of Expatriates: Evidence For Managers In The P.R.C., John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study investigates how two managerial interventions, pre-assignment training and post-assignmnet support, mediate the relationship between a set of personal & job characteristics and a broad measure of foreign assignment success, quality of work life (QWL). To accomplish this, we studied 199 expatriates posted form the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the People's Republic of China (PRC), a host ocutnry with a similar language, race, and cultural background. Using this setting, we were better able to isolate the mediating effects of these human resource interventions on the assignee's adjustment and success. In the end, it appears that some of the …
Financial Reporting For Foreign Exchange Derivatives, Stephen R. Goldberg, Charles A. Tritschler, Joseph H. Godwin
Financial Reporting For Foreign Exchange Derivatives, Stephen R. Goldberg, Charles A. Tritschler, Joseph H. Godwin
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
A major objective of the FASB's financial instruments project, inclusive of SFAS 105, SFAS 107 and SFAS 119, is to provide information useful to investors in assessing the credit and market rish associated with the use of off-balance-sheet ifnancial instruments. We survey 1992 SFAS 105 and SFAS 107 disclosures on Foreign Exchange Derivatives (FXD) to: (1) benchmark current practice by summarizing quantitative and qualitative disclosures of FXD, and (2) examine the usefulness of current disclosures in assessing market and credit rish related to FXD. In achieving these objectives, we provide insight into how leading U.S. multinationals operationalize accounting standards related …
Economic Exposure And Integrated Risk Management, Kent D. Miller
Economic Exposure And Integrated Risk Management, Kent D. Miller
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
Most corporate risk management research focuses on particular risk exposures to the exclusion of other interrelated exposures. By contrast, this study models corporate risk exposures using a multivariate approach integrating the distinct exposures of interest to finance and strategy researchers. The paper addresses the implications of multivariate modeling for corporate risk management, some key methodological issues arising in empirical estimation of corporate economic exposrues, and directions for research on integrated risk management.
Diversification Responses To Environmental Uncertainties, Kent D. Miller
Diversification Responses To Environmental Uncertainties, Kent D. Miller
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study develops and tests a behavioral model of diversification responses to environmental uncertainties. Regression results using an international data set provide strong support for the general proposition that uncertainties associated with different environmental components--political, government policy, macroeconomic, competitive, input, and product demand uncertainties--have different implications for firm product and international market diversification.
A Model For Filter-Rule Gains In Foreign Exchange Markets, John Carlson, Marc Surchat
A Model For Filter-Rule Gains In Foreign Exchange Markets, John Carlson, Marc Surchat
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
An f-percent filter rule in a foreign exchange market calls for buying a foreign currency when its price has risen by f percent above a trough and holding until its price has fallen f percent from a peak. If the foreign exchange rate following a random walk, this is an unprofitable strategy. Since ex post filter rules continue to show positive gains on average, there must be a pattern in the data that makes these gains possible. Slight first-order autocorrelation, evident in the changes in actual exchange rates, is not strong enough by itself to account for the ex post …
The Influence Of Changing Trade Patterns Of Displacements Of Labor, Jon D. Haveman
The Influence Of Changing Trade Patterns Of Displacements Of Labor, Jon D. Haveman
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
While there is an extensive literature detailing the change in industrial employment resulting from changes int rading patterns, there is no significant literature that translates these changes in labor demand to actual worker hardship. This study provides evidence of the labor market effects of changes in import and export competition throughout the 1980's by focusing on the level of industry displacements, workers involuntarily separated from their industry of employment, rather than changes in the level of industry employment. The results therefore shed light on the number of workers that were measureably injured by changing trade patterns. The analysis is based …
Operational Flexibility Responses To Environmental Uncertainties, Kent D. Miller
Operational Flexibility Responses To Environmental Uncertainties, Kent D. Miller
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study develops and tests a behavioral model of organizational changes in operational flexibility. Regression results using an international data set provide strong support for the general proposition that uncertainties associated with different environmental components--poitical, government policy, macroeconomic, competitive, input and product demand uncertainties--have different implications for firm internal, locational, and supploer flexibility. Slack acts as a buffer attenuating, and often offsetting, the direct effects of uncertainties on changes in operational flexibility.

The Determinants Of Corporate Attractiveness, John Hannon, Yoko Sano
The Determinants Of Corporate Attractiveness, John Hannon, Yoko Sano
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study examines the effects of observable organizational characteristics on job seeker attributions of corporate attractiveness in Japan. Data from 11,060 Japanese university students (3,678 seniors specializing in engineering & science and 7,382 seniors majoring in liberal arts) demonstrate that a company's number of employees, an indication of job security and career potential, is related to corporate attractiveness for both groups, as hypothesized. Contrary to what was expected, the age of the firm, a surrogate for reputation and tradition, had no effect on corporate attractivenss for either group. The effects for sales, an indication of size, and profits, an indication …
The Mediating Effects Of Organization Commitment And Job Involvement On The Relationship Between Quality Of Work Life And Customer Service Attitudes, John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin
The Mediating Effects Of Organization Commitment And Job Involvement On The Relationship Between Quality Of Work Life And Customer Service Attitudes, John Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Cheng-Chen Lin
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
In the last two decades, organizations have recognized, indeed fixated upon, the importance of quality and quality management. One manifestation of this is the emergence of the total quality management (TQM) movement, which has been proclaimed as the latest and optimal way of managing organizations. Likewise, in the domain of human resource management, the concept of quality of work life (QWL) has also received much attention of late from theoreticians, researchers, and practitioners. However, little has been done to build a bridge between these two increasingly important concepts, QWL and TQM. The purpose of this research is to empirically examine …

International Human Resource Strategy And Its Determinants: The Case Of Multinationals And Their Subsidiaries In Taiwan, John M. Hannon, Ing-Chung Huang, Bih-Shiaw Jaw
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This introductory investigation into the human resource implications associated with the tensions between integration and responsiveness studied the concept of International Human REsource (IHR) Strategy; its dimensions and its determinants. To accomplish this, Jarillo and Martinez's (1990) parent--subsidiary business strategy framework was recast in an IHR strategy setting. Then, the relationships between a set of interorganizational interdependency determinants and the dimensions of IHR strategy that emerged, global integration and local responsiveness, were empirically tested. Sata from 100 subsidiaries and their parents highlighted several informative associations between interorganizational dependencies (dependence on parent's resources, dependence on local resources, dependence on host institutions) …

Technology Infrasturcture did not appear on the questionnaire administered in …
Leaning Against The Wind: Do Central Banks Necessarily Lose?, John A. Carlson, Insook Kim
Leaning Against The Wind: Do Central Banks Necessarily Lose?, John A. Carlson, Insook Kim
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
A leaning-against-the wind intervention that has only a temporary effect on the exchange rate and that is not too aggressive can be shown analytically to yield positive expected profits to a central bank even when the exchange-rate process is non-stationary. These profits arise if there are some transitory shocks to the exchange rate. Furthermore, very aggressive intervention will yeild positive expected profits eventually when there is a tendency for exchange rates to return to a long-run equilibrium level.
Firm Strategy And Economic Exposure To Foreign Exchange Rate Movements, Kent D. Miller, Jeffrey J. Reuer
Firm Strategy And Economic Exposure To Foreign Exchange Rate Movements, Kent D. Miller, Jeffrey J. Reuer
Purdue CIBER Working Papers
This study examines the implications of differences in strategy and industry structure for firms' economic exposures to foreign exchange rate movements. Analysis of exchange rate data indicates previous empirical research using a single exchange rate proxy understates economic exposures. This study estimated firms' exposures using a multivariate model. The empirical evidence from U.S. manufacturing firms indicates that foreign direct investment reduces economic exposure to foreign exchange rate movements.
