A Community Of Practice For Chinese Ngos, Reza Hasmath, Jennifer Yj Hsu
A Community Of Practice For Chinese Ngos, Reza Hasmath, Jennifer Yj Hsu
Reza Hasmath
A community of practice represents an important resource for the sharing of sector-specific knowledge. It is a mechanism for Chinese NGOs to learn from each other, and collaborate. Drawing upon original data elicited from over 100 NGOs, this article examines the organizational capacity for Chinese NGOs to cultivate a mature community of practice. We find that there are inherent headwinds that Chinese NGOs will have to navigate to accomplish this goal. On the one hand, the majority of NGOs in our sample do not see themselves as part of a community of experts, which presents a huge challenge for the …
Covered Interest Rate Parity: The Usd And Cny, Kimberly D. Scott
Covered Interest Rate Parity: The Usd And Cny, Kimberly D. Scott
Kimberly D Scott
One of many tests of international finance is a test termed Covered Interest Rate Parity (CIRP). This theorem posits that exchange rate forward premiums (discounts) are offset by the respective interest rate differential between two currencies (Bhargava, Dania, & Malhotra, 2011). To briefly describe another theorem of interest rate parity is the Uncovered Interest Rate Parity (UIRP). This theorem posits that a return on an uncovered foreign currency deposit should be equal to the return on a similar domestic deposit despite the national market the foreign deposit is located.
A Historical Reading Of China’S Foreign Exchange Reform And 1993 Currency Devaluation, Era Qian
A Historical Reading Of China’S Foreign Exchange Reform And 1993 Currency Devaluation, Era Qian
McDonough Research Journal
This paper aims at assessing China’s foreign exchange reform and analyzing the driving factors behind its 1993 currency devaluation. It focuses on the sequencing of reforming efforts and clarifies the different concepts of currency convertibility. It also discussed the special circumstances that led to reform at the time. Our research results suggest that China’s economic progress and policy orientation had drawn a clear roadmap for its reforming effort. Meanwhile, its existing swap center network, export subsidy elimination process, domestic inflation and entry to GATT made 1993 a critical timing to unite its dual exchange rate. China’s need for capital inflow …
Chinese Approach To Exchange Rates And Impact On Trade, Kimberly D. Scott
Chinese Approach To Exchange Rates And Impact On Trade, Kimberly D. Scott
Kimberly D Scott
The United States and China have embarked on considerable deliberation in the United States trade and the value of the Chinese currency among academics and politicians alike. Over the years, research on the two topics has consistently addressed the subject by investigating the equilibrium real exchange rate between the yuan (CNY) and the dollar (USD), with results exposing the undervaluation in the yuan since the 1990’s.
Cny & Usd: Foreign Exchange Rates, Kimberly D. Scott
Cny & Usd: Foreign Exchange Rates, Kimberly D. Scott
Kimberly D Scott
A forward rate is related to a spot rate that is set to take place in the future (Bekaert & Hodrick, 2012). Interestingly, one issue that can be challenging when performing transactions is not knowing what the rate will yield in the future versus at present. Due to market pressures or even policy decisions, either a devaluation or revaluation of domestic currency to foreign currencies can transpire.
Chinese Yuan And The American Dollar, Kimberly D. Scott
Chinese Yuan And The American Dollar, Kimberly D. Scott
Kimberly D Scott
The economic relationship between China and the United States has been a hit and miss discussion over the years. One question, in particular, has stimulated more than speculation, but empirical research of whether we know that China's currency is undervalued is certainly a trigger to perform further research.

China's New Energy Vehicles: Value And Innovation, Chris Kimble, Hua Wang
Chris Kimble
The overarching theme of this article is the importance of innovations that are created within the emerging economies. More specifically, the article aims to focus on the development of various alternatives to vehicles powered by the internal combustion engine, new energy vehicles (NEVs), within China. The broad strategic approach of two sectors within the NEV sector in China, the pure electric vehicle (EV) and the low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV) sectors, are compared using recent data and conclusions are drawn. The EV sector is viewed by central government as a key sector for China's future industrial growth and is heavily supported. …
Can The Hong Kong Icac Help Reduce Corruption On The Mainland?, Bryane Michael
Can The Hong Kong Icac Help Reduce Corruption On The Mainland?, Bryane Michael
Bryane Michael (bryane.michael@stcatz.ox.ac.uk)
Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) serves as the example par excellence of a successful anti-corruption agency. Yet, the Agency works in one of the more corrupt jurisdictions world-wide (the People’s Republic of China). To what extent can the ICAC – and the Prevention of Bribery Ordinance (POBO) which regulates its work – contribute to reductions in corruption on the Mainland? In this paper, we look at the ways in which the ICAC – technically a Chinese agency (albeit operating in a legally independent jurisdiction) – can help to reduce and prevent corruption on the Mainland. We find that …
Chinese Investment In Africa: China’S Empathetic Support Of Poor And Despotic Regimes, And The Competition Western Companies Face, Richard W. Gove
Chinese Investment In Africa: China’S Empathetic Support Of Poor And Despotic Regimes, And The Competition Western Companies Face, Richard W. Gove
Richard W Gove
This paper discusses the recent economic parallels and interconnections between China and the different nations in Africa, especially sub-Saharan Africa. In 2009, China surpassed the United States to become Africa’s largest trade partner, and China has committed to establishing stronger connections with African economies. Much of the increase in trade is a result of China’s thirst for oil and Africa’s desperate need for foreign investment. However, many legal issues surround Chinese involvement in Africa, especially public corruption, and the instability of African regimes has created political risk that leaves China with little competition and Africa with few alternatives. The main …

Overview Of The Evolution Of China's Central Bank And Monetary Policy: Correlation To The European Union, Alida S. Skold
Overview Of The Evolution Of China's Central Bank And Monetary Policy: Correlation To The European Union, Alida S. Skold
Alida S. Skold
As an innovator in the financial system, China was the first to use paper currency. Eventually the form of currency was held responsible for devastating inflation and was abandoned during the Ming Dynasty. Going forward in time, uprisings and discontent have emphasized the importance of controlling inflation. The central bank is pivotal in issuing monetary policy to control inflation and to maintain financial stability as the government transforms itself from a planned economy to a mixed market economy. The transforming economy is moving toward a free market system through series of economic reforms. The correlation between China’s structure and the …
