    INSTITUTIONALIZED CORRUPTION AND PRIVILEGE IN CHINA'S SOCIALIST MARKET ECONOMY: A GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM ANALYSIS (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  This paper develops a general equilibrium model to consider the effects of corruption caused by institutionalized privilege on economic welfare, the network size of division of labour and productivity. First a Walrasian equilibrium in a market economy is computed; then we consider the effects on welfare when a privileged group is chosen to work as high-level administrators. Finally, we allow for explicit collusion between administrators by introducing an administrator's agent who acts in the interests of all the administrators. The model shows that in equilibrium (fixed point) the degree of corruption, the degree of division of labour and productivity are interdependent.

    SPATIAL PERFECT COMPETITION: A UNIFORM DELIVERED PRICING MODEL (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  Spatial competition is often probed in terms of spatial oligopoly and/or monopolistic competition in the literature. This paper considers spatial competition as a form of perfect competition, in the sense that the firms are assumed to be price-takers located at the centre of a market area and practising uniform pricing. It shows that under scale economy competitive equilibria can occur, and may actually be observed in the form of international price differentials. Both a very high price and a very low price can yield conditions of competitive equilibrium in spatially or otherwise separate markets.

    STRUCTURAL BREAKS AND UNIT ROOTS IN AUSTRALIAN MACROECONOMIC TIME SERIES (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  We examine the unit root properties of 16 Australian macroeconomic time series using monthly data spanning the period 1960–2004. In addition to the standard Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) test, we implement one- and two-break endogenous structural break ADF-type unit root tests as well as one- and two-break Lagrange multiplier (LM) unit root tests. While the ADF test provides relatively little evidence against the unit root null hypothesis, once we allow for structural breaks we are able to reject the unit root null for just under half of the variables at the 10% level or better.

    A GROWTH MODEL FOR CHINA'S SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (2005)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract.  We employ a general macroeconomic analysis to describe the economic growth and performance of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ). It is shown that not only does foreign investment make a significant contribution to the economic growth of the Zone, but also, the rapid response of foreign investment to the output level is important for maintaining steady-state growth. The open door policy and the policy of encouraging foreign investment have thereby played an important role in the recent development of the Chinese economy.

    THE PERFORMANCE AND LONG-RUN CHARACTERISTICS OF THE CHINESE IPO MARKET (2005)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract.  We study the short-run and long-run performance of 340 and 409 IPOs, respectively, listed on China's two exchanges from 1996 to 1997. We find that the average underpricing is 127.3%, and that the average market-adjusted cumulative return and buy-and-hold return over the three years after listing are 10.3% and 10.7%, respectively, which are both significantly positive at the 5% level. We then use a cross-sectional analysis to explain the long-run out-performance of Chinese IPOs, and find that firms with lower government ownership, smaller offering sizes, high-tech features and lower initial returns perform better in the long-run.

    Notes: Abstract.  Using the latest provincial data to investigate the different performance of different ownership sectors, we found that there are significant differences in both production technology and the determinants of performance at provincial level between state controlling sectors, collectives, domestic private enterprises, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan funded firms and foreign invested firms. Cobb–Douglas functions fit the production technologies of the state-controlled, collective and overseas Chinese funded sector very well. However, the production technologies of the domestic private and foreign funded sector are better represented by translog function. In addition, the determinants of economic performance change substantially from one ownership sector to another.

    WHERE IS THE JAPANESE ECONOMY HEADED? (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  The Japanese economy now seems to be emerging from the negative legacy of the collapse of the bubble in the 1990s. In order to assess where the economy is going, the paper reviews the decade-long stagnation and subsequent recovery in the context of globalization, with reference to policies of the Japanese government and management practices of the corporate sector. The rebirth of the Japanese economy will be forthcoming as long as ongoing policy efforts of the government and private-sector management endeavours continue, in a harmonious way and in the context of globalization.

    DEVELOPMENT OF THE SERVICE SECTOR IN JAPAN AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR THE ECONOMY (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  The rise of the service economy in industrialized countries is having considerable effects on employment and economic activities in Japan. This paper empirically examines the evolution of the service sector in Japan and assesses its impact on employment generation and economic growth. Owing to the heterogeneous nature of the service sector, it is important to further develop the more productive service industries, while making every effort to increase the productivity of the less productive service industries. Policy-makers must take appropriate measures to enhance the productivity of the service sector in order to strengthen overall economic growth.

    THE INTERNATIONAL DEMONSTRATION EFFECT AND THE DOMESTIC DIVISION OF LABOUR: A SIMPLE MODEL (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  The implications of the international demonstration effect (IDE) for the development of underdeveloped economies have long been studied and debated. Yet few formal analyses exist in the literature, especially regarding its implications for the growth of domestic markets and the division of labour in developing economies. We offer an analysis of endogenous specialization under the IDE, the first of its kind, showing that, far more complicated than the scenario held by conventional wisdom, the IDE makes more difficult the emergence of the market underpinning the domestic division of labour, but facilitates the expansion of the market once it has been developed.

    PRICING SUPERIOR GOODS: UTILITY GENERATED BY SCARCITY (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  We discuss the pricing of a superior good based on its ‘signalling value’. Our model and analysis offer a different explanation of why in China and some other Asian countries the prices of luxury goods are extremely expensive when they are first marketed, then fall dramatically and discontinuously afterwards, when marginal costs decline to below the critical point and the goods become more popular.

    A VAR ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF HOUSING LOAN POLICY (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  I investigated the effect of the Government Housing Loan Corporation (GHLC) housing loan policy on housing starts in Japan, employing the VAR model for the first time in the area of Japanese housing policy. A lowering of the interest rate of GHLC home loans increased housing starts up to the point where the budget exceeded the actual amount of GHLC home loans granted. I found that the amount of GHLC home loans was effective in increasing housing starts up to the point of structural change, after which the effect was seen to lessen.

    WHO BENEFITS FROM CORRODING KEIRETSU? (2005)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract.  Observations on Japan's industrial distribution system reveal that many producers maintain both keiretsu and non-keiretsu channels. An intriguing question then is: what economic rationale underlies such an ambivalent policy? This motivated us to present a model of an incomplete keiretsu system. We find that the collapse of a keiretsu is not necessarily a misfortune for the firms remaining therein: they can turn the situation to their advantage if a keiretsu collapses partially. We show why some firms leave their keiretsu while others remain with it, and determine who the winners are.

    RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BUSINESS DEFINITION AND THE LONG-TERM GROWTH OF COMPANIES: IS LEVITT RIGHT? (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  Theodore Levitt argued that organizational growth can be threatened because firms define their businesses incorrectly. He believed that businesses should be defined in terms of ‘needs’, not ‘products’, if they are to survive in the long term. In this paper I investigate the relationship between business definition and the long-term growth of companies in order to prove Levitt's idea. I statistically analyse relationships between past business definitions and financial performance up to the present using 50 Japanese electric/electronics companies. I find that there is a clear relationship between ‘functionality’ of a business definition and long-term growth in sales and aggregate market value.

    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS PROTECTION AND IMITATION: AN EMPIRICAL EXAMINATION OF JAPANESE F.D.I. IN CHINA (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  By using data obtained from a questionnaire survey to Japanese firms in China, we empirically examine the effects of the IPR protection against local illegal imitation. No evidence has been found that patent and trademark registration, which constitutes a part of the IPR protection system, has a protective effect. On the contrary, the results suggest that the patent and trademark registration system may play a role in facilitating local illegal imitation and may be easing technology transfer/diffusion in China.

    PREDICTING CURRENCY CRISES WITH A NESTED LOGIT MODEL (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  This paper is the first to apply a nested logit model to measure the probabilities of speculative attacks and the probabilities of successful defences by the central banks. This model allows us to predict the probability not only of speculative attacks but also of successful defences, given attacks. It also provides a framework for analysing the degree to which different factors affect the likelihood of attacks and defences. We find strong evidence that external illiquidity and financial fragility are reliable predictors of currency crises. The results shed light on the validity of the three generations of currency crisis models.

    AID TIED TO THE DONOR'S EXPORTS (2005)

    Notes: Abstract.  The existing theory of tied aid presupposes that trade and aid are conducted in terms of private consumption goods. However, in such a world aid can be effectively tied only if the recipient government somehow prevents its households from reselling the aid basket on world markets. That weakness of existing theory is here removed by extending the theory to accommodate non-tradable public consumption goods. The most striking result of existing theory – that, even in a world of just two trading countries, the donor might benefit and the recipient suffer from the tying of aid – is preserved.

    Notes: Abstract.  This paper tests the long-run money neutrality across different exchange rate regimes, empirically extending the concept of M. E. Fisher and J. J. Seater. Strong evidence shows the non-neutrality of two forms of money for the Hong Kong economy across the two regimes. While the Hong Kong M1 is marginally non-neutral under the float, it is clearly not neutral afterwards. The M2 is non-neutral both before and after the linked exchange rate.

    Notes: Abstract.  Despite continuous government attempts to increase taxpayer compliance, the shadow economy continues to offer a way for taxpayers to evade their taxpaying obligations. The consequences are clear: policy-makers have increasingly imperfect knowledge about the state of economic affairs as shadow economy activity expands. We provide the first known estimates of the shadow economy for 17 Asia-Pacific countries. We show that, not only have these activities grown over the last ten years, but countries with relatively thin taxpayer compliance initiatives experience the greatest shadow economy activity.

    Notes: Abstract.  The study models the Hong Kong domestic exports and re-exports, compares the performance of exports to the rest of the world, the USA and Japan, and uses destination-and-export-type specific unit value indexes to construct real exchange rates. In general, Hong Kong exports display mean-reverting dynamics, are positively influenced by foreign income and are adversely affected by high value of its currency. The lagged export variable, foreign income, and real exchange rate provide most of the explanatory power. Other variables explain marginally the variability of Hong Kong exports.

The general comparative-static results are stated using the original data on firms’ cost functions and inverse demand function. Three special models are examined in light of our results. The stability condition is shown to be insufficient for determinate comparative statics.

    Income Distribution in East Asian Developing Countries: recent trends (2005)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper updates estimates of the trends in income distribution in the eight countries of the developing East and Southeast Asian region. In the last update by Krongkaew (1994), inequality was found to be increasing in the newly industrialising economies of Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, while in the ASEAN−4 (with the exception of Thailand) it was declining. Since then, the region has undergone the East Asian financial crisis of 1997–98. Recent data indicate that income distribution in Hong Kong and Taiwan continues to improve. Income inequality in South Korea declined until 1993 but began to increase slowly until the crisis sharply widened the disparity. The evidence for Singapore is mixed, with one set of estimates showing a dip in inequality while another indicates a widening of income disparity during the crisis. The crisis had the immediate impact of improving income distribution in all the ASEAN–4 countries, mainly because of reductions in the income shares of the top income groups. Later data show that inequality has since risen in all of them, except for Malaysia (for which no recent data are available).

    Notes: 〈blockFixed type="quotation"〉Poverty is not natural. It is man-made.And it can be eradicated by human action.Nelson Mandela, July 20051[There] are two paradigms for Human Development:one that believes in the overwhelming power of economic growth,another that emphasises the design of pro-poor policies. Jan Vandemoortele (2005)Pro-poor growth is often advocated but seldom defined. Some proposed definitions and associated measures are reviewed in this paper. Much of this literature stresses the importance of reducing economic inequality. A basic source of confusion is whether inequality reduction is desired as a means for reducing poverty or as an end in itself. This paper argues that if it is the former, as is usually said, the pro-poor growth literature tends to overstate the importance of reducing inequality, or avoiding an increase. Growth that is most effective at reducing poverty does not necessarily coincide with growth that reduces inequality. This literature is overly pre-occupied with statistical evaluation of the outcomes of economic events, based on changes in the distribution of household incomes or expenditures. What is most needed is solidly based empirical research on the manner and extent to which alternative growth strategies influence the rate of poverty reduction.

    The WTO Doha Agenda—Progress and Issues for Asia Pacific Developing Economies (2005)

    Notes: Progress in the Doha Round of WTO negotiations has been slow. Frameworks for establishing modalities for agriculture, non-agricultural market access and trade facilitation were agreed upon in July 2004 but key details are still to be negotiated and many commitments remain vague. For developing economies in the Asia Pacific region, the July package contains many potentially positive elements, including a commitment to remove all forms of agricultural export subsidies and a framework for reducing domestic supports and market access restrictions. However, most of the difficult issues are still to be addressed. Already it is apparent the agreements and commitments will be complex, full of exceptions (especially for developing countries due to their insistence on economically damaging forms of special and differential treatment) and difficult to interpret. This will serve to enable all governments to fudge commitments and to undermine the transparency of the multilateral trading system. Latest developments are not encouraging. Critical target dates set in the July package in preparation for the December Hong Kong Ministerial Conference were missed due to negotiations lagging in all key areas. Without a successful outcome in Hong Kong, it is unlikely the Doha Round will be completed by the current deadline of 2007.

    People's Republic of China and its Neighbours: evidence on regional trade and investment effects (2005)

    Notes: The very rapid economic growth of the People's Republic of China (PRC), its dramatic success in world export markets and its heavy receipts of foreign direct investment (FDI) have generated much thought and debate in policy and business circles in different parts of the world. This paper surveys evidence from research by ADB Institute staff and Visiting Fellows conducted over the last two years that sheds light on these issues. The paper examines differences in trade structure between the PRC and its trading partners, finding that the PRC's current structure is closest to that of Korea and Taipei, China in 1990. It also considers changes in market share and finds that the PRC exports are eroding the market share of its regional neighbours in the USA and Japan, particularly in products in which trading partners are most specialised. There is no evidence of FDI diversion from elsewhere in the region to PRC. The trade diversion effects in the US and Japan are offset however by strong trade creation as the rapid growth in PRC leads to a substantial rise in its imports.The paper surveys the projections of models that demonstrate the gains in greater trade and income for the region from closer trade links with the PRC. The broad conclusion that emerges is that whilst there may be risks to individual sectors in all countries concerned, the pattern of regional trade and investment that is emerging is mutually beneficial, provided enterprises and governments representing the PRC's regional partners respond effectively to the adjustments required.

    The effects of tolerance for ambiguity and uncertainty on the appropriateness of accounting performance measures (2005)

    Notes: This article examines how task uncertainty, environmental uncertainty and tolerance for ambiguity (TFA) affect managerial opinions about the appropriateness of accounting performance measures (APM). Based on accounting and psychology literature, this study argues that task uncertainty and environmental uncertainty differ in their direct effects on the appropriateness of APM, and furthermore that the relationship between uncertainty and the appropriateness of APM is moderated by managers’ TFA. Hypotheses are developed, and tested with data from a survey study among 250 managers in eleven organizations, using partial least squares (PLS). Overall, the results show that the two types of uncertainty have opposite effects on managers’ opinions about the appropriateness of APM, and that these effects are moderated by TFA, which confirms expectations. No direct effect of TFA on the appropriateness of APM was found. Overall, these findings provide an explanation of the inconsistencies in the extant behavioural management accounting literature that has addressed the appropriateness of APM under uncertainty.

    Determinants of accounting innovation implementation (2005)

    Notes: Accounting innovations are often not successfully implemented or diffused throughout the organization. This study seeks to explain this phenomenon. One of the major impediments to the successful implementation of accounting innovation is that management accounting systems are generally used to serve the decision control needs of top management while at the same time purportedly supporting the decision management needs of lower level managers. To the extent that the accounting system is used for decision control, innovation creates the potential for wealth effects to occur. This prompts managers, whose wealth will be negatively affected, to resist accounting innovation. We present conditions where it is likely for negative wealth effects to occur. Under these conditions the system will fail to achieve its intended objectives. Our theoretical model examines how decentralization choices influence resistance to accounting innovation. We argue that delegation of decision rights can limit the potential for resistance in two ways—(a) by creating the environment which allows managers to ensure that their subunits are able to adapt to the new signals provided by accounting innovations and (b) by enabling subunit managers to become involved in the design of these systems. Our model also enables us to assess the consequences on organizational outcomes when subunit managers resist accounting innovations. Based on data collected from production managers, our results demonstrate the importance of decentralization choices on the effective implementation of accounting innovations.

    Notes: This paper, which reinterprets previous work by Bradbury and Rouse (2002), addresses the risk quantification issue at an intuitive level. The insights provided by such quantification are discussed. Risk factors are associated with the risk-return concept. This allows measuring whether risks taken on are appropriately rewarded. The paper gives a non-technical exposition of DEA and outlines possible applications to accounting and finance. Using data for a large multinational, it shows how DEA analysis can be combined with internal audit procedures. It explains how the results obtained can be used to improve risk management.

    Accounting as a social and institutional practice: perspectives to enrich our understanding of accounting change (2005)

    Notes: In the past two decades, a body of literature has developed which depicts accounting as a social and institutional practice. Researchers adopting this perspective typically demonstrate an appreciation for the pervasive and enabling characteristics of accounting and an awareness of the importance of local, time-specific factors which shape accounting change within particular instances. This work examines this literature and classifies its content using the themes identified by Miller (1994). Drawing upon aspects of this literature, the final sections develop a broad, thematic framework to assist researchers in future studies directed at understanding the diverse and complex processes through which changes to the accounting domain can occur.

    Expert reports in Australian takeovers: fees and quality (2005)

    Notes: Target firms in Australian takeovers are required to commission the preparation of an independent expert report in circumstances where there is a perceived conflict of interest with the bidder. As approximately half of these reports are prepared by firms with which the target has other business dealings, concern has been expressed over the quality of these reports due to the suggestion that such reports are provided at lower fees. We examine the 191 independent expert reports provided in all 649 Australian takeover bids initiated in the period 1990 to 2000 inclusive. Using an expert-fee model, we find that the fees for reports by experts with other business dealings with the target are not lower than those of unrelated experts. In addition, the results indicate that experts with other dealings with the target provide reports with a significantly smaller valuation range, consistent with these reports being of higher, rather than lower, quality. Our findings are inconsistent with the U.S. and New Zealand experience of prohibiting audit firms from providing valuation advice in takeovers.

    Investigating corporate management lobbying in the U.K. accounting standard-setting process: a multi-issue/multi-period approach (2005)

    Notes: A large body of literature examines the motives of corporate managers to lobby accounting standard-setters. In general, studies confine their examination to single episodes of the standard-setting process (e.g., exposure draft). This article extends the literature by adopting a multi-issue/multi-period approach to investigate corporate lobbying of the U.K.'s ASB. The findings suggest that the extent of corporate lobbying, defined on the basis of the frequency with which companies made submissions to all of the publications issued by the ASB over a six-year period, depends on the size of companies, the debt covenant costs they face and whether they are listed on a U.S. stock exchange. Separate analyses, however, involving (a) the frequency of lobbying on income-related issues and (b) the frequency of lobbying on disclosure issues revealed that, while all these three variables explain lobbying on income-related issues, only size is significant in explaining lobbying on disclosure issues. The results also suggest that the debt to equity ratio is an imperfect proxy for debt covenant costs.
