Mind The Liquidity Gap: Building A Better Capital Market For You, Kaushik Rudra
Mind The Liquidity Gap: Building A Better Capital Market For You, Kaushik Rudra
Asian Management Insights
Asian banks in most jurisdictions are currently more than adequately capitalised with respect to Basel III. However, as they are called upon to support the region’s economic growth over the next decade, they are likely to run up against capital constraints.

Participating in the Go Global: Asia 2014 trip was one of the smartest decisions I have made during my collegiate career.Originally I wanted to go to Asia to learn more about big economic powers like China and South Korea, as well as developing economic nations like Vietnam. However, once I left Asia I had not only learned international economics but I also had experienced Asian culture and learned so much about myself as a student and as a person. This international experience helped me improve as a businesswoman, as a traveler and as a productive citizen as a whole.
Trade Liberalisation And Growth: A Threshold Expectation, Rod Falvey, Neil Foster-Mcgregor, Ahmed Khalid
Trade Liberalisation And Growth: A Threshold Expectation, Rod Falvey, Neil Foster-Mcgregor, Ahmed Khalid
Ahmed Khalid
Openness and trade liberalisation variables are consistently estimated to have significant positive coefficients in panel growth regressions. Many arguments have been advanced as to why and how more open or liberalised economies might grow faster, but the specific channels this process uses have begun to be investigated only recently. We continue these efforts by including a variable identifying the date of trade liberalisation in a system of equations that captures the determinants of growth in per capita income. Four ‘channels’ are considered: capital formation, the share of government, the economy’s openness to trade and its price distortions. We include the …

Changing Forms Of Organising In Regional Intergovernmental Cooperative Network: The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Matthias P. Ngui, Michael Zanko
Changing Forms Of Organising In Regional Intergovernmental Cooperative Network: The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation, Matthias P. Ngui, Michael Zanko
Michael Zanko
The organizational theory literature suggests that organisations should adapt to highly competitive business environments by strategically replacing or transforming the traditional with more innovative forms of organising. These innovative and more flexible forms of organizing are often portrayed as dichotomous and antithetical. Recent research by Pettigrew, Fenton, Palmer, DiMaggio and others discovered that one of the emergent themes in contemporary firms is that they engage in apparently contradictory practice, where the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ changes are practiced simultaneously. The Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), one of the major regional intergovernmental cooperative networks in the Asia Pacific region is investigated …

Innovation And Economic Education: An Integration, Eduardo Pol
Innovation And Economic Education: An Integration, Eduardo Pol
Eduardo Pol
Almost everyone agrees on the importance of educating a broad spectrum of the public about economics and business. It has been suggested by experts in economic education that universities should place greater emphasis on economics as a general education. The present paper develops a proposal to integrate innovation into elementary economic education that business faculties might use to enrich their general economic education offerings. We believe the proposal can be implemented through the design of a new subject - which may be called the 'Creative Economy' - supported by a method of teaching and learning by successive approximations. The study …

Special Issue On The Economic Effects Of Minimum Wages In Germany: Editorial, Alfredo Paloyo, Sandra Schaffner, Christoph Schmidt
Special Issue On The Economic Effects Of Minimum Wages In Germany: Editorial, Alfredo Paloyo, Sandra Schaffner, Christoph Schmidt
Alfredo R Paloyo
This special issue of the German Economic Review addresses one of the most contentious areas of modern labor economics: the economic effects of statutory minimum wages. This topic is as challenging intellectually as the publication of these studies is timely. With respect to the analytical challenge to be mastered, the history of labor economic thought on this issue demonstrates the vicissitudes of empirical research in all the social sciences, not the least in Economics, which operate in an ever-changing environment, with new preferences, new institu- tions and new data emerging all the time. In fact, within the realm of econom- …
The Regional Economic Effects Of Military Base Realignments And Closures In Germany, Alfredo Paloyo, Colin Vance, Matthias Vorell
The Regional Economic Effects Of Military Base Realignments And Closures In Germany, Alfredo Paloyo, Colin Vance, Matthias Vorell
Alfredo R Paloyo
We identify the causal effect of a reduction in military personnel on a number of socioeconomic indicators within the peripheries of military bases. The base realignments and closures in Germany are used as an exogenous source of variation that allows us to identify the effect of a demand shock on household income, output, unemployment, and tax revenue within a specified buffer zone around each base. The analysis covers 298 communities for the period 2003-2007. Consistent with evidence found elsewhere, we find that these base adjustments have only a marginal impact on the local community in which the bases are located.
Implications Of Ownership Identity And Insider's Supremacy On The Economic Performance Of The Listed Companies, Qaiser Rafique Yasser, Abdullah Al Mamun
Implications Of Ownership Identity And Insider's Supremacy On The Economic Performance Of The Listed Companies, Qaiser Rafique Yasser, Abdullah Al Mamun
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
We adopt a multi-theoretic approach to investigate a previously unexplored phenomenon in extant literature, namely the differential impact of ownership identity and director dominate shareholding on the performance of emerging market firms. The main research question addressed is, whether the impact of this relationship is conditional on the identity of the block investor. First, the relationship between overall block ownership and firm performance is tested by employing multiple regressions on 500 firm-year observations for the period from 2007 to 2011. Then, the block ownership is classified as the state, individuals, insiders, financial institutions, corporate and foreign investors and the influence …

Internationalization Of Malaysian Firms And The Effects Of Major External Economic Crises, Ah Ba Sim
Faculty of Business - Papers (Archive)
This paper examines and analyzes the internationalization of international firms from Malaysia over two time periods of major external economic crises, the Asian financial crisis and the global economic crisis based on a study of four case firms. The findings indicate variations and changes in strategies during early and continued internationalization over the 11 year time studied. These findings and their research implications are examined and discussed.
