Evaluating The Hedging Effectiveness In Crude Palm Oil Futures Market During Financial Crises, Y.H. Go, W.Y. Lau
Evaluating The Hedging Effectiveness In Crude Palm Oil Futures Market During Financial Crises, Y.H. Go, W.Y. Lau
Research Publications (2011 to 2015)
This study examines whether there is a significant change in hedging effectiveness on Crude Palm Oil (CPO) futures market from January 1986 to December 2013. Eight hedging models with different mean and variance-covariance specifications have been evaluated. As the volatility of spot and futures markets is not similar across time, both markets exhibit asymmetric information transmission. Our results of out-of-sample evaluation show, firstly, the time-varying hedge ratios with basis term produce better performance during both financial crises. Secondly, high dynamic hedge ratios during the Asian financial crisis contribute to the support for CCC-GARCH model. Thirdly, during global financial crisis, BEKK-GARCH …

Is It All Too Bad To Return To Marx? Marxism And Reformism At The Central Compilation And Translation Bureau From Hu Jintao To Xi Jinping, N. Chow Bing
Research Publications (2011 to 2015)
The Central Compilation and Translation Bureau (CCTB), a central organ of the Chinese Communist Party, has not been studied much by scholars inside or outside of China. Originally an authoritative translation house for classical Marxist works, in recent years CCTB has gained more prominence as a think tank. Among its leaders are well-known advocates for political reforms and democracy. This article presents an analytical history of CCTB. It will discuss how did CCTB evolve, what factors played the major role in its evolution, and how does it reconcile its seemingly contradictory roles of being a Marxist translation house and a …

Research Publications (2011 to 2015)
The monogeneans, Heteronchocleidus, Eutrianchoratus and Trianchoratus, were postulated to be closely related based on their haptoral hard parts of three well-developed anchors and one vestigial anchor. In this present study, partial 28S rDNA sequences from 12 heteronchocleidids species (10 Trianchoratus spp. and two Eutrianchoratus spp.) were obtained. Phylogenetic trees generated based on 28S rDNA (from the present study and GenBank) using neighbour-joining (NJ), maximum parsimony (MP), maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian inference (BI) analyses show that members of these three genera constitute a clade. Within this main monophyletic clade are the Heteronchocleidus-Eutrianchoratus and the Trianchoratus clades. This suggests that the …
