The Gratuities Debate And Campaign Reform – How Strong Is The Link?, George D. Brown
The Gratuities Debate And Campaign Reform – How Strong Is The Link?, George D. Brown
George D. Brown
The federal gratuities statute, 18 USC § 201(c), continues to be a source of confusion and contention. The confusion stems largely from problems of draftsmanship within the statute, as well as uncertainty concerning the relationship of the gratuities offense to bribery. Both offenses are contained in the same statute; the former is often seen as a lesser-included offense variety of the latter. The controversy stems from broader concerns about whether the receipt of gratuities by public officials, even from those they regulate, should be a crime. The argument that such conduct should not be criminalized can be traced to, and …

Determinants Of Short Term Investment Decision Making, Muhammad Naeem Akhtar, Ahmed Imran Hunjra, Kashif Ur Rehman
Ahmed Imran Hunjra (PhD)
This study examines the impact of financial literacy, accounting information, openness to experience and information asymmetry on the short-term investment decision making of the stock market investors. For this purpose 23 item questionnaire was developed and distributed among 185 stock market investors through non-probability sampling. The results indicate that all these factors have a significant effect on the short-term investment decision making. Results also indicate that individual investors with higher educational qualifications have more intentions for short-term investments as compared to the investors with other qualifications.
Some Recent Developments In The Evaluation Of University Research Outcomes In The United Kingdom, Samuel Garrett-Jones, David K. Aylward
Some Recent Developments In The Evaluation Of University Research Outcomes In The United Kingdom, Samuel Garrett-Jones, David K. Aylward
Samuel Garrett-Jones
Three specific recent developments in the evaluation of UK university research—the Research Assessment Exercise, the common performance indicators for the research councils, and the ‘evaluation portfolio’ of the Economic and Social Research Council — are described, and how they work in practice is examined. As in other countries, we find some tension between the criteria of excellence and socioeconomic benefit in valuing research outcomes. Driven by government policy, the primacy of peer evaluation based on publications is being strongly augmented by methods and performance measures that attempt to capture the broader benefits and impacts of academic research within the context …
Knowledge And Cooperation For Regional Development: The Effect Of Provincial And Federal Policy Initiatives In Canada And Australia, Samuel Garrett-Jones
Knowledge And Cooperation For Regional Development: The Effect Of Provincial And Federal Policy Initiatives In Canada And Australia, Samuel Garrett-Jones
Samuel Garrett-Jones
This paper examines how federal systems of government in Canada and Australia deal with the challenges of promoting regional innovation and knowledge-based industries. It focuses on selected cases of federal and regional (provincial or municipally based)policy initiatives and structures that support cross-sector collaboration between ‘knowledge institutions’(such as universities) and locally based industries. The study reveals both anticipated commonalities in and unexpected differences between the Canadian and Australian innovation environments and policy approaches. Federalism, resource-based economies and sparse population have led to similar concerns and solutions. However, building local innovation systems and networks is a question of building on social capital …
International Trends In Evaluating University Research Outcomes: What Lessons For Australia, Samuel Garrett-Jones
International Trends In Evaluating University Research Outcomes: What Lessons For Australia, Samuel Garrett-Jones
Samuel Garrett-Jones
An international study compared methods used to monitor and evaluate the outcomes of university research in the United States, Canada, the Netherlands and elsewhere. It aimed to provide a foundation for improving the evaluation of research and research training in Australian universities. Evaluation methods were considered in terms of their audience, the type of outputs, outcomes or impacts being measured, and the types of research funding support schemes to which they were applied. The study found that Australian research agencies are generally in line with ‘common practice’ in the countries studied, and in some cases in advance of it. The …
Cross-Sector Research Collaboration In Australia: The Cooperative Research Centres Program At The Crossroads, Tim Turpin, Samuel Garrett-Jones, Richard Woolley
Cross-Sector Research Collaboration In Australia: The Cooperative Research Centres Program At The Crossroads, Tim Turpin, Samuel Garrett-Jones, Richard Woolley
Samuel Garrett-Jones
In this article we trace changes in the institutional and social dynamics that have steered cross-sector R&D collaboration in Australia. Public policy provided the initial push toward cross-sector collaboration. The Cooperative Research Centres (CRC) Program is Australia's most longstanding national arrangement for industry-university-government research collaboration. Over the past two decades the program has grown to become the dominant model for cross-sector R&D cooperation in the country. Because of the size of the program in the Australian innovation system it has also become a major focus for debate about science policy. Universities have now institutionalised this imperative in all sorts of …
Assessing And Building Innovation And Learning Capacity In Local Organizations, Samuel Garrett-Jones
Assessing And Building Innovation And Learning Capacity In Local Organizations, Samuel Garrett-Jones
Samuel Garrett-Jones
Conceptual models of regional innovation systems have prompted major government initiatives in Europe and North America to assess and to promote local innovation and learning capabilities. In Australia, by contrast, local governments and other local organizations concerned with economic and social development are faltering. Lacking is (1) a conceptual understanding of local knowledge and innovation networks; (2) data on local innovation actors and activities; and (3) clarity on the most effective ways for municipal and regional government to 'construct advantage' in a federal system. The paper reviews the 'macro' (e.g. innovation surveys) and 'micro' (e.g. case studies) approach to assessing …
[Review Of The Book The Four Little Dragons: The Spread Of Industrialization In East Asia], Gary S. Fields
[Review Of The Book The Four Little Dragons: The Spread Of Industrialization In East Asia], Gary S. Fields
Gary S Fields
[Excerpt] This slim and eminently readable volume presents the 1990 Edwin O. Reischauer lectures delivered by Ezra Vogel, the Henry Ford II Professor of Social Sciences at Harvard University and a leading scholar on Asia. In the first chapter Vogel establishes the context for the experiences of the "late late industrializes". Japan and "the Four Little Dragons" (Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan). The next three chapters are devoted to the experiences of Taiwan, Korea, and Hong Kong and Singapore, respectively. The last chapter offers an explanation for the dragons' successes.

[Review Of The Book Urban Labour Market Structure And Job Access In India: A Study Of Coimbatore], Gary S. Fields
Gary S Fields
[Excerpt] This is a book about "labor status"—what it is, how it works, and how it can be used in labor market analysis. The authors make a convincing case that the labor status approach is indeed a useful one to follow.

[Review Of The Book Private Pension Policies In Industrialized Countries: A Comparative Analysis], Gary S. Fields
Gary S Fields
[Excerpt] John Turner and Noriyasu Watanabe have written numerous articles and books on pensions and employee benefits. In this collaborative effort, they synthesize a great deal of institutional and analytical material on a wide range of countries, including those typically regarded as industrialized (most of the OECD countries are the subjects of case studies and illustrations) and those that would probably be happy to learn that they now fall into that category (in particular, Chile and Argentina). The book is both accessible (there are no equations in sight) and analytical.
[Review Of The Book International Labour Standards And Economic Interdependence], Gary S. Fields
[Review Of The Book International Labour Standards And Economic Interdependence], Gary S. Fields
Gary S Fields
[Excerpt] What can be done to raise the living standards of working people around the world? This collection of 29 essays focuses on an issue currently in the air: the setting of international labor standards. Although the writers come from every continent and represent employers, workers, government, and academia, virtually all favor international labor standards. One should perhaps not be too surprised by this agreement, given that the volume is published under the auspices of the International Institute for Labour Studies, a sister organization of the ILO. Things get interesting when the authors stop lamenting how tough conditions are for …
[Review Of The Book Personnel Economics], Gary S. Fields
[Review Of The Book Personnel Economics], Gary S. Fields
Gary S Fields
[Excerpt] What is personnel economics? Despite its name (non-economists may be put off by the use of the word “personnel,” which was left behind by what is now called human resource management about a quarter century ago), personnel economics deals with issues of fundamental importance in the workplace. As the editors explain in the introduction, “The literature is distinguished from other parts of labour economics primarily by its focus on problems that are central to business.” Thus, personnel economics is economics, it is that part of economics that deals with workplace issues, and it is firmly grounded in labor economics. …

The Impact Of Political Events On Financial Market Volatility: Evidence Using A Markov Switching Process, Ahmed M. Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Ahmed Khalid
This paper investigates the impact of political shocks (positive and negative) on financial markets. Using data from Pakistan for the period January 1999 to September 2006, we link ‘a’ political event to the financial market volatility. We use high frequency data from three indicators (currency, stock and money market) of the financial market for empirical estimation. We employ a Markov Switching process to identify the low and high volatility regimes in Pakistan’s financial market and then link these regimes to certain political events. We use data on daily observations of exchange rates, stock prices and interest rates to perform empirical …

Market Development For Fixed Income Securities: The Role Of Socio-Economic And Institutional Factors, Ahmed M. Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Ahmed Khalid
It is well understood that bond markets play an important role in the development of the overall financial sector. Bond markets also help to make efficient investment and financing decisions, to improve efficiency in the design and implementation of monetary policy, provide financial stability by mitigating rollover risk and interest rate risk for the borrowers, provide an alternative source of finance to firms and thus reduce the monopoly of the banking sector. Given the importance of this market, this paper aims to investigate the factors that may be important for developing a market for domestic bonds. First, we discuss the …
Price And Demand: What Do 3pl Customers Really Want?, Tim Coltman
Price And Demand: What Do 3pl Customers Really Want?, Tim Coltman
Dr Byron W. Keating
Successful companies understand what their customers want and are able to reverse engineer their supply chains to meet this demand in ways that make business sense. Less successful companies often find it hard to obtain a good understanding of what their customer’s value, and spend considerable time hustling to do things that are not fully appreciated by their customers. The lessons here are quite straightforward; rewards accrue to those organizations that are “best” able to match “appropriate” supply chain activities to the latent needs of their customers.
What Drives The Choice Of A Third Party Logistics Provider?, Edward Anderson, Tim Coltman, Timothy Devinney, Byron Keating
What Drives The Choice Of A Third Party Logistics Provider?, Edward Anderson, Tim Coltman, Timothy Devinney, Byron Keating
Dr Byron W. Keating
It is generally believed that companies choose supply chain partners on the basis of their distinctive value propositions – a fact one would also expect holds true when companies choose a logistics service provider. However, faced with the complexities of varied customer demands, it can be difficult for logistics service companies to obtain an effective understanding of how customers differentially value the service components they offer. In this paper, we address this by identifying the factors that are important in a customer’s choice of a logistics service provider. Using stated choice methods we explore the relative importance of seven service …
Designing Is Service Strategy: An Information Acceleration Approach, Pierre J. Richard, Tim Coltman, Byron Keating
Designing Is Service Strategy: An Information Acceleration Approach, Pierre J. Richard, Tim Coltman, Byron Keating
Dr Byron W. Keating
Information technology-based innovation involves considerable risk requiring foresight; yet our understanding of the way in which managers develop the insight to support new breakthrough applications is limited and remains obscured by high levels of technical and market uncertainty. This paper applies discrete choice analysis to support improved empirical explanation of how and why decisions are made in information systems. A new experimental method based on information acceleration is also applied to improve prediction of future IS service strategies. Both explanation and prediction are important to IS research and these two behaviourally sound methods complement each other. Specifically, the combination of …

Designing 3pl Services: Valuable Insights From Customers, Eddie Anderson, Tim Coltman, Timothy Devinney, John Gattorna, Byron Keating
Dr Byron W. Keating
As markets become more global and competition continues to intensify, firms are beginning to realize that competition is not exclusively a firm versus firm domain but a “supply chain against supply chain” phenomenon. For the providers of supply chain services the implications of even a modest increase in strategic importance implies greater complexity, as their operations are now more important to a thickening web of stakeholders that are more discerning and market literate. In this study we seek to open the black box of customer demand by identifying those factors that contribute most to the selection of a supply chain …
