Abstract:

In the 60’s, the first article identifying the relationship between output growth and unemployment were released, with the purpose of providing a tool for US authorities to estimate the effect of labour policy on output. This article, presented by Arthur Okun, came to lay the foundation for the commonly known empirical relationship, named Okun’s law. However, since the 60’s, the world has gone through political and economic shocks, such as the oil crisis, fall of the berlin wall, the crisis of the 90’s, the financial crisis and crisis of 2008. These events open up the question: has the relatio

Abstract:

We compare the performance of the perturbation-based (local) portfolio solution method of Devereux and Sutherland (2010a, 2011) with a global solution method. We find that the local method performs very well when the model is designed to capture stylized macroeconomic facts and countries/agents are symmetric, i.e. when the latter have similar size, face similar risks and trade assets with similar risk properties. It performs less satisfactory when the agents engaged in financial trade are asymmetric. The global solution method performs substantially better when the model is parameterized to m

Abstract:

A study was undertaken to document and compare the aquatic bird communities of two high country lakes, Lake Pearson and Lake Grasmere, located in the Cass Basin, Waimakariri Valley, Canterbury. The two lakes show differences in shoreline structure, riparian communities and humun use patterns. Lake Pearson is regularly used by people for recreation while Lake Grasmere is a Wildlife Refuge and recreation activities are restricted. Data is gathered on bird abundance and feeding activity over the course of eleven months. The bird communities of these lakes showed differences in species compositi

Abstract:

The focus of both academic and public debate on the expression of work-related conflict has long been focused on strikes. Substantial declines in collective disputes have been associated with more harmonious and less conflict-laden employment relations. This research deals with another, often forgotten form in which conflict is manifested, namely the settlement of individual conflicts through labour courts or employment tribunals. Its aim is to explore and explain differences in application rates to national judicial bodies both across countries and over time. Using a novel database on 23 Euro

We consider both symmetric country setups and asymmetric setups, that capture important empirical facts such as differences in macroeconomic volatility, differences in portfolio composition, and high equity premia.

This dissertation intends to investigate the Private Equity industry by comparing two different regions: Veneto, Italy and Grand Est, France. The purpose is to analyse the strategies investors adopt when selecting target firms. The choice of the regions is based on the cities that welcomed my two M.Sc.’s years, the first one in Venice and the second one in Strasbourg. The project aims at attempting to give another explanation of the reasons why the Private Equity industry in Italy struggles to succeed.

While people all over the world are vulnerable to natural disasters, the available data clearly demonstrate a great deal of cross-country variance in the impact of catastrophic events. For example, while Hurricane Mitch took an estimated 13,000 lives when it struck Honduras and Nicaragua, the stronger Hurricane Andrew took only 26 lives when it impacted the United States. What factors explain this difference? Thus far, disaster researchers have emphasized economic and social vulnerability as determinants of disaster impact; the conventional wisdom accepts that poor and underdeveloped cou

Background Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) affects individuals from all continents, cultures and socio-economic backgrounds. It presents differently in different individuals and functional outcomes can be highly variable dueto the heterogenous nature of ASD. The context or environment in which individuals live interacts with the core characteristics of ASD to determine functional ability or disability. For this reason the World Health Organization International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) includes environmental factors when measuring and describing functioning.

Abstract:

Following a series of reporting scandals in the early 2000s, several researchers studied the gradual shift toward more principles-based accounting systems. There seems to be a general belief that the adoption of international principles-based accounting standards will improve financial reporting quality worldwide, although little evidence is provided for this claim. At the same time several studies claim that heterogeneity in countries’ environmental factors will not lead to harmonized accounting practices and that important differences will remain even though there is common international acc

We use dynamic panel data from ASEAN-4 which are regarded as emerging countries, namely, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. Our results confirm that size has a significantly negative relationship with the leverage in Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and a significantly positive relationship in Indonesia. Profitability has a significantly negative relationship with the leverage in Indonesia and Malaysia

Abstract:

Organizational knowledge is considered an essential competency for multinational corporations wanting to efficiently transfer their experience and practices to subsidiaries. Knowledge transfer has traditionally been examined through the transmission of routines, rules, and procedures--but when transferring knowledge from one country to the other, cultural characteristics also need to be taken into consideration. This paper uses a multiple case study to investigate how the transfer of know-how is influenced by three factors: level of individualism, the degree of subsidiary autonomy, and time. T

碩士<br>南華大學<br>經濟學研究所<br>90<br>This paper uses a cross-country sample of survey data to reinvestigate the determinants of digital divide. The broad set of variables allows for comparisons of the relative differences both nationally and internationally. We design a digital knowledge index (DKI), a measure for monitoring inequalities of the digital knowledge among people. We find that the digital divide exists between cities and across countries. Demographic variables such as age, education, and income are found to be statistically significant. Besides, people who have higher interest in digital
