Lessons From The Sub-Prime Crisis, Melvyn Teo

Research Collection BNP Paribas Hedge Fund Centre

We show that there is significant variation in performance across hedge funds during the subprime crisis. Hedge funds that (i) invested in Asia, (ii) had equity exposure, (iii) adopted directional strategies, or (iv) allowed for frequent redemptions, underperformed other funds. Moreover, leveraged funds did not fare significantly worse than their non-leveraged counterparts. Our results suggest that credit market illiquidity was not directly responsible for the bloodshed amongst hedge funds. Rather, funds were hurt by an increase in global risk aversion and by fire sales conducted in anticipation of redemptions.

Suspension And The Extrajudicial Constitution, Trevor W. Morrison

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

What happens when Congress suspends the writ of habeas corpus? Everyone agrees that suspending habeas makes that particular - and particularly important - judicial remedy unavailable for those detained by the government. But does suspension also affect the underlying legality of the detention? That is, in addition to making the habeas remedy unavailable, does suspension convert an otherwise unlawful detention into a lawful one? Some, including Justice Scalia in the 2004 case Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Professor David Shapiro in an important recent article, answer yes.

This Article answers no. I previously offered that same answer in a symposium essay; …

Transforming A Region Into A Vibrant Entrepreneurial Economy: How To Create The Multiplier Effect, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Sankaran Venkataraman is business administration professor at the Darden Graduate School of Business Administration, University of Virginia, and visiting professor of entrepreneurship and business at the Singapore Management University. At a recent seminar in Singapore, Venkataraman explored the question, “What does it take for a nascent entrepreneurial region to create the multiplier effect necessary to transform itself into a vibrant entrepreneurial economy?” In his view, institutional specialisation, division of labour, the architecture of entrepreneurial sub-systems and intangible cultures all play critical roles.

Michael Schaper On Small Businesses: Unravelling Popular Myths About Their Value And Viability, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Small businesses typically account for more than 95% of all private sector entities and employ more than half the workforce in some countries, reveals a study by Michael Schaper, dean of the Murdoch University Business School in Australia. Speaking at the Singapore Management University’s UOB-SMU Enterprise Alliance Centre recently, Schaper dismantled some common misconceptions about the value and profiles of small businesses and their owners.

Global Sourcing Model Helps Companies Optimise Benefits From Free Trade Agreements, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

As FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) proliferate, companies increasingly face difficult decisions about where to source for components and set up manufacturing bases so as to benefit from FTAs. Brian Rodrigues, professor of operations management at the Singapore Management University, and management sciences professors Li Yanzhi and Andrew Lim at the City University of Hong Kong, have developed an easy to use algorithm which helps companies do just that.

Economics Of Quality Schooling, Gerald Burke, Phillip Mckenzie

Centre for the Economics of Education & Training (CEET)

The case for public expenditure on education is based on its contribution to the good of society over and above the benefits received by the individual educated. These benefits can be economic, the benefits of a larger pool of educated labour that allow for rapid economic development, and social, including the benefits of more committed law abiding citizens and the relief of poverty. Governments around the world have committed themselves to achieving the goals of Education for All (EFA). However, for many countries this is a major challenge. EFA will require substantial improvements in school enrolment rates, school completion rates, …

The Impact Of Swiss Exile On An East German Critical Marxist, Axel Fair-Schulz

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Among many East German Marxists, who had embraced Marxism in the 1930s and opted to live in East Germany after World War II (between the 1950s until the end of the GDR in 1989), was a commitment to the Communist party that was informed by a more nuanced and sophisticated Marxism than what most party bureaucrats were exposed to.

Understanding Differences In Behaviour: The Role Of Mental Models, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Why do some people make snap judgements about another person based on a single behaviour, while others make up their minds only after repeated observations in different situations? Singapore Management University psychology professor Jennifer Tong attempts to shed new light on why people entertain different assumptions about the nature of human behaviour in a series of psychological studies with a difference. Her findings have practical implications for interactions in the office and at the personal level. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do Software Development Projects Dispersed Across The Globe Deliver The Goods?, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Higher demands on computer systems and networks compel technology companies to assign software development duties across many dispersed centres in the US, India, China and elsewhere. In actual practice, does this distributed development model work well? Singapore Management University information systems professors Narayan Ramasubbu and Rajesh Krishna Balan examined this question in an award-winning paper, “Globally Distributed Software Development Project Performance: An Empirical Analysis,” presented recently at a joint meeting of the European Software Engineering Conference and the ACM SIGSOFT symposium.
