Kangoye, Thierry Somlawende. "Essays on the institutional impacts of aid in recipient countries." Thesis, Clermont-Ferrand 1, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011CLF10375/document.
Full textThis thesis examines the impact of macroeconomic instabilities on institutions in developing countries andthe role played by aid. The thesis further invetigates the role of history in explaining those impacts. Thethesis consists of four essays analyzing the impacts of macroinstabilities, aid and history on institutions. Thefirst chapter provides a comprehensive literature survey on the institutional impacts of aid and sheds lighton the controversial findings evidenced. The second chapter focuses on the impact of trade instability oninstitutions and the role that aid can play in this context. We provide evidence that aid can have a positiverole in democracy building in the long term by dampening the adverse effects of terms-Of-Trade instabilityon growth and thereby by making it more stable. The third chapter examines the instability of aid flowand addresses the question of whether unpredictable aid flows can create or aggravate corruption among theelites, and thereby weaken institutions. The findings from the empirical analysis provide evidence that higheraid unpredictability is associated with more rent-Seeking and corruption, this impact being more severe forthe countries having weak initial institutions. The fourth chapter investigates the extent to which thosepre-Existing institutional conditions matters for explaining the impacts of aid on institutions, by introducingthe role of history and more particularly the role of institutional transplantations. The chapter provides supportivefindings to the hypothesis that the institutional crisis caused by the unreceptive transplants largelyaccounts for aid’s impacts on the quality of institutions

The land market and the associated land-development-control mechanism in China have been experiencing a series of reforms since the 1990s, of which Land Conveyance Reform (LCR) in 2004 is a very recent and an important one. LCR-the formal procedure to transfer the land-use rights (LURs) from the government to other users-has been used together with land use planning as institutional tools to generate and distribute the revenues for both local municipal government and real estate developers. Meanwhile, a large-scale government-led deindustrialization has been going on sine 1995 in city of Beijing, where many State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) were relocated from downtown Beijing to suburbs or other cities. I studied the change of the LCR from the former negotiation approach to the current auction approach. I analyzed its institutional impact on the land-use planning decision-making process and its social impacts on the deindustrialization process, specifically, the economic and social condition of working staff of SOEs. I conducted an empirical study in Beijing to investigate both institutional and social impacts. The LCR has caused an institutional shift in the land-use planning process, from the former "developer-coordinated process" to the current "local government-coordinated process." However, that shift did not solve the social problems caused by deindustrialization and SOE privatization; instead, it just slows down the occurrence of the problems.

Full textThis research focuses on the challenges of tax administration in Somaliland Ministry of Finance (MOF). The study analyses existing challenges in the MOF-Tax Administration, causes of these challenges, the impact of these challenges on domestic revenue collection as well as the country’s economic growth and development. In order to obtain a desirable, comprehensive, and in-depth understanding of the research problem, the researcher applied a mixed method approach, thereby limiting the weaknesses of using the quantitative or qualitative research approach alone. The sample size consisted of 63 staff members. The research included 57 questionnaires for 57 employees and lower level managers as well as 6 interviews for top and middle-level managers in Somaliland Inland Revenue Department. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS), Ms. Excel, and conceptual analysis, where themes were developed and analyzed. The key findings of the research were that Somaliland tax administration faces immense challenges that can be broadly grouped into three categories: institutional challenges, attitudinal challenges as well as political and economic challenges. These challenges are mainly due to the absence of professional staff, the lack of taxpayers’ education, outdated tax laws, non-compliance behavior of taxpayers, rigidity of the tax system, and poor public trust amongst others. These challenges restrained tax revenue collection, public service provision, investments, and economic growth issues. Therefore, the recommendations, accordingly made in this thesis, include, amongst others, the need to establishing a professional training center for staff, automating tax procedure, implementing effective performance appraisal system, and the regular updating of tax policies to establish a transparent, accountable and equitable tax system in Somaliland.

Full textThis thesis examines the impact of Sovereign Wealth Funds on global financial markets by analyzing the quality of information conveyed by Sovereign Wealth Funds and assessing the reactions of announcements of Sovereign Wealth Funds transactions to global financial markets from the different periods. Based on Sovereign Wealth Funds investments and divestments collected from 2005 to 2015, this impact is evaluated on different periods (pre-crisis and post-crisis), and levels of transparency (high, medium and low). The findings suggest that the magnitude of financial markets’ reactions of Sovereign Wealth Funds transaction significant relies on the degree of transparency and the period in which they make transactions. Consequently, this evidence supports to the result that Sovereign Wealth Funds have no significant destabilizing effect on the global financial markets

É de grande relevância, tanto no meio acadêmico como para a sociedade como um todo a questão da fraude, um problema recorrente que atinge empresas e governos em diversas partes do mundo. Muitos casos recentes chamam a atenção para este assunto, porém, um em especial, o esquema de corrupção envolvendo práticas ilegais, como pagamentos de propina dentro da Petrobras e outras empresas brasileiras, descoberto após a deflagração da “Operação Lava-Jato”, conduzida pela Polícia Federal e pelo Ministério Público. Após a descoberta desse esquema, muitos envolvidos foram presos, alguns já investigados e condenados pela justiça brasileira. Porém, além dos desdobramentos na esfera criminal de pessoa-física, as práticas de corrupção tiveram outros desdobramentos jurídicos e financeiros no âmbito empresarial, principalmente relacionados a ações judiciais propostas por acionistas da empresa que alegam ter sofrido perdas em seus investimentos. Nesse sentido, dadas as questões financeiras e legais enfrentadas pela Petrobras e demais empresas brasileiras, propomos, através desta pesquisa, determinar como a detecção da fraude impacta no valor das empresas. Para atingir o objetivo final desta pesquisa, usei a metodologia de estudo do evento, proposta por MacKinlay (1997). A amostra deste estudo incluiu as cinco empresas brasileiras listadas na “New York Securities Exchange” (NYSE), que estavam sujeitas a ações de classe nos EUA, até o final de 2016. Os resultados gerais dos testes suportam a hipótese de que a fraude, uma vez divulgada ao mercado, gera reações negativas nos preços das ações, em linha com a literatura existente sobre a influência da fraude no valor das empresas e com a Teoria da Eficiência de Mercado. Nesse sentido, este estudo é capaz de contribuir de maneira significativa para aprofundar a discussão acadêmica relacionada à fraude no Brasil e incentivar as empresas brasileiras de capital aberto a se preocuparem cada vez mais com suas práticas de conformidade e combate à corrupção e se prevenirem em relação aos seus possíveis riscos, desdobramentos e impactos jurídico-financeiros. Além disso, esta pesquisa serve de insumo, não apenas para a gestão de patrimônio dos investidores dos EUA, mas também como um incentivo para aumentar o poder de barganha dos investidores pessoa-física no Brasil
It is of great importance, either for academia or society as a whole, the issue of fraud, a recurring problem that affects companies and governments around the world. Many recent cases draw attention to this issue, but one in particular: the corruption scheme involving illegal practices such as bribery payments inside Petrobras and other Brazilian firms, discovered after the outbreak of the so-called "Operação Lava-Jato" and “Operação Zelotes”, conducted by the Brazilian Federal Police and Federal Public Prosecutor. After the scheme became public, over a hundred people were arrested and many already investigated and condemned by the Brazilian justice, including some of the firm’s former and current employees. In addition to the developments on individual employee´s criminal sphere, once detected, the abovementioned corrupt practices have caused other legal and financial impacts to the firms, mainly related to lawsuits filled by shareholders who claim to have suffered losses on their investments. In this sense, given the financial and legal issues faced by Petrobras and the other Brazilian firms, we propose through this research to determine how disclosed fraud could have an impact on the value of firms. In order to achieve its final goals, this research uses the event study methodology, proposed by MacKinlay (1997). Firm sample includes the five Brazilian firms listed in the New York Securities Exchange (NYSE), which were subject to securities class action lawsuits in the US, as of the end of 2016. Overall test results support the hypothesis that fraud, once disclosed to the market, provides negative stock price reactions, in line with the existing literature on the influence of fraud on firms’ valuation and the Market Efficiency Theory. In this sense, this study is able to provide significant contribution to deepen the academic discussion related to fraud in Brazil and encourage Brazilian firms to increase their concerns about anticorruption and compliance practices and prevent themselves in relation to eventual legal and financial impacts of fraud. In addition, this research contributes, not only to U.S investors wealth management, but also as an incentive to increase the bargain power of individual investors in Brazil

This study is concerned on Rio 2016 megaproject management undertaken by theprincipal project actors: The International Olympic Committee (IOC), the OrganisingCommittee of the Olympic Games (OCOG) and the Brazilian Government. Firstly, anintroduction into megaprojects precedes the explanation of two intrinsically linkedconcepts, Complexity and Risk Management. Only after that fundamental portrayal twowidely adopted theories in Megaproject research will be reviewed, namely Stakeholdertheory and Institutional theory. In light of the literature and by means of a content analysisto local and international newspapers articles, the main project related events thatoccurred shortly before, during and after the Olympic Games were extracted andcategorized. In total, twelve project related events were identified. The broader projectmanagement picture related to those issue is supported by a brief description of Rio 2016´s project governance. Finally, the paper finishes with the appeal to widen up theacademic research on the complexity of the Olympic Games as there is a lackingexplanatory and evaluative capability of the aforementioned theories in assessing the mainconceptual undertakings of such a particular megaproject. After all, the unexpected issuesthat the abovementioned actors had to manage are best described by four impactingmegaproject dimensions: The political impact, the aesthetic impact, the economic impactand the technological impact.

No total, foramidentificados doze eventos relacionados ao projeto. O quadro mais amplo degerenciamento deste projeto é apoiado por uma breve descrição da governança do projetoRio 2016. Por fim, o trabalho conclui com o apelo de ampliar a pesquisa académica sobrea complexidade dos Jogos Olímpicos, pois há uma falta de capacidade explicativa parauma avaliação dos principais empreendimentos conceituais deste megaprojeto. Isto devidoao motivo de os eventos gerenciados pelos atores terem acabado por ser explicados porquatro dimensões do megaprojeto: O impacto político, o impacto estético, o impactoeconómico e o impacto tecnológico.

Full textAs part of the New Institutional Economics, Douglass C. North, has developed a theory of institutions as a new approach to the economic development study in which institutions play a key role. According to this theory, the presence of a strong institutional environment accelerates the development process; among the explanation, the determinant role of the institutional environment for FDI. Taking Cambodia as field of study, this dissertation tends to provide more evidence of this institution-FDI relation by showing that the relatively weak institutional environment in Cambodia discourage foreign investors. With its advantages, the kingdom is perceived by foreign firms as an attractive option for investment, but the investment risks resulting from the country’s legal and regulatory framework perceived by foreign firms, are among the concerns. Thus, the institutional reforms are not only used to give to society the public order, the adequate and effective public services with rule of law but also to promote foreign direct investments whose role in development has already confirmed

Full textOrganizational innovation, the adoption of new management practices and models of work, is one of the main sources of competitive advantages for firms. Recent research has underlined the role of the institutional environment and isomorphic pressures in the behavior of organizations, particularly for the adoption of innovation. In order to understand what factors may influence the adoption of organizational innovation it is necessary to understand how institutional pressures impact it. The central question guiding this research is: how do institutional pressures (mimetic, normative, coercive) influence the adoption of organizational innovation? The cooperation between organizations was used to measure the different types of institutional pressure. Mimetic pressure was measured through the cooperation between competitors. Normative pressure was measured through the cooperation with consultancy firms and universities. Coercive pressure was measured through the cooperation with certifying organizations. In order to answer this research question a quantitative approach was adopted, based on secondary data from the Brazilian Research on Technological Innovation (Pintec) conducted by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). The data represents 38 sectors of the Brazilian economy, according to three researches conducted in 2008, 2011 and 2014. The statistical technique used was panel data analysis, which is recommended for datasets with both longitudinal and cross-sectional characteristics. The results show that normative institutional pressures from consultancy companies and institutional coercive pressures have a positive influence on the adoption of organizational innovation. Mimetic pressures were not significant, while normative pressures from universities are negatively correlated with organizational innovation. This research contributes to the academic literature on organizational innovation by demonstrating which types of organizational pressure influence its adoption. It also contributes to institutional theory by showing the necessity of differentiating the types of normative pressure according to its source.

Full textA conceptual model of Technology Park is established, adapted to the knowledge society requirements. The focus is on medium and highly dense population areas and global megacities, mainly in developing countries. The model is particularized to the São Paulo city and the neighbourhood of the University of Sao Paulo campus. This region has a high density of research institutions and other organizations that support scientific, technology and innovation activities; among these organizations are: the Institute for Nuclear and Energy Research (IPEN), the Institute for Technology Research (IPT), the Butanta Institute and the Incubator Center for Technology Enterprises (CIETEC). The model considers the changes in the economic vocation of the Sao Paulo city, the removal of traditional industry sectors organizations from the region, the unemployment rates and the highly competitive global market. These challenges ask for policies that can attract new economic activities, more competitive in the global market, and new investors. To support the research activities it is applied a questionnaire and interviews to seven national and three international technology parks experiences. The conceptual model is based on three main aspects which are considered by these experiences very important to the success of the technology parks, as follows: the dynamics of the players relation, the urban intervention of the project and the companies characteristics and development stages. The proposed model concerns to four groups of activities: the technology incubator center activities; the graduate or mature companies from the incubator center or other micro, small or medium knowledge based companies, from outside the system; the cooperative research activities among private organizations and research institutions; the Technology Park services and managing activities. This model innovates concerning the conception of a managing and coordinator core, located inside the University campus, and by the dissemination and irradiation of the Technology Park activities and benefits to the city, forming innovative clusters and establishing adense knowledge network.

Este estudo tem como foco a gestão do megaprojeto Rio 2016 realizada pelos principaisatores do projeto: o Comitê Olímpico Internacional, o Comitê Organizador dos JogosOlímpicos e o Governo Brasileiro. Em primeiro lugar, uma introdução em megaprojectosprecede a explicação de dois conceitos intrinsecamente ligados, Complexidade e Gestãode Risco. Somente após esse retrato fundamental, duas teorias extensamente adotadas napesquisa do megaprojeto serão revistas: Teoria do Stakeholder e Teoria Institucional.Segue, em luz da literatura e por meio de uma análise de conteúdo, uma coleta de artigosde jornais locais e internacionais sobre os principais eventos relacionados ao projeto,ocorridos pouco antes, durante e depois dos Jogos Olímpicos. No total, foramidentificados doze eventos relacionados ao projeto. O quadro mais amplo degerenciamento deste projeto é apoiado por uma breve descrição da governança do projetoRio 2016. Por fim, o trabalho conclui com o apelo de ampliar a pesquisa académica sobrea complexidade dos Jogos Olímpicos, pois há uma falta de capacidade explicativa parauma avaliação dos principais empreendimentos conceituais deste megaprojeto. Isto devidoao motivo de os eventos gerenciados pelos atores terem acabado por ser explicados porquatro dimensões do megaprojeto: O impacto político, o impacto estético, o impactoeconómico e o impacto tecnológico.

Full textIn France, where fishing rights are non-transferable, the management of fishing quotas is essentially delegated to producer organizations (POs). POs are granted collective allocations based on the aggregate fishing rights of their members and are then responsible for managing their fishing opportunities. The goal of this research, which contains theoretical developments as well as empirical analyses applied to the Bay of Biscay sole fishery, is to determine how outcomes of fisheries management are altered by the presence of POs within institutions as compared to alternative governance systems such as individual transferable quotas (ITQs). This dissertation notably brings together bio-economic approaches and institutional analyses to better anticipate the ecological, economic and social impacts of potential governance options. The research questions are the following: (1) What mechanisms could ensure a high level of compliance and what are the potential gains of placing the POs between the regulator and the fishermen? (2) What are the distributional effects of catch share management by POs? (3) What is the added value of integrating institutional arrangements involving POs into bio-economic modelling for the impact assessment of catch share management options? The analyses that were developed establish the ability of institutional design to influence outcomes in catch share systems in terms of compliance, distribution, and ecological-socioeconomic trade-offs achieved by alternative management options

Full textThis thesis addresses the research question of how demand requirements for eco-responsible and local products may impact the food supply distribution configuration. In other words, how to configure urban food systems to satisfy a demand for eco-responsible food products. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to explore how to estimate the relationship between a demand for eco-responsible and food distribution configuration considering economic and environmental issues.The thesis is a compilation of three phases:• Eco-responsible food demand: It seeks to identify the product's environmental quality criteria that impact product demand and how these demand's characteristics can be used to describe the requirements of logistic schemes for sustainable distribution.• Food supply chain configuration: Considering these new requirements, this phase aims to describe the food supply chain strategies that achieve a sustainable food distribution addressed in the literature, and to analyse how these strategies identified impact logistic decisions in the supply chain.• Food supply chain assessment: It attempts to analyse the estimation of economic and environmental indicators that may represent the impacts generated in the configuration of the different food distribution schemes proposed.The results highlight a framework proposal, aiming to understand how changes in a current food distribution system can be identified and quantified (in a logic of before-after scenario assessment). This framework includes: (i) Logistic decisions to be considered in the distribution system at strategic and tactical level. (ii) Food system characterization to define an initial situation (stakeholders, demand and supply characterization), and the demand and supply estimation; (iii) Scenario construction to analyse scenarios to be tested; and (iv) Scenario assessment to identify and assess economic and environmental impacts of the food distribution system, including tests and expert feedback to validate the scenarios proposed

Full textWith the spread of internet usage over the past decades, access characteristics of electronic scientific publica-tions, especially the number of document downloads, are of increasing interest to the authors, publishers, technical providers and users of such publications. These download data of publications are usually obtained from the protocols of the IT systems of the provider. A data set is then created by filtering all accesses and subsequent summarizing over a certain time unit. Download data are the subject of scientific investigations, in which the concept of the Citation Impact is applied to the rate of use of a publication and the so-called Download Impact is formed. Special attention is paid to the relation between Citation Impact and Download Impact. In the case of Open Access publications, two types of access need to be distinguished. Human access and machine access are both captured and a reliable distinction is not possible yet. As a result, the data obtained for single publications are unreliable and subject to strong fluctuations. Nevertheless, they contain valuable information that can be made useful with the help of mathematical statistics. Analyzed with nonparametric methods, download data give information about the visibility of electronic publications on the Internet. These methods form the core of NoRA (Non-parametric Repository Analysis). With the help of NoRA, the operators of Open Access Repositories are able to analyze the download data of their electronic publications, to identify and correct deficiencies of visibility and to increase the quality of their online platform. The analytical method NoRA was successfully applied to data from Institutional Repositories of four universities. In each case, groups of publications were identified that differed significantly in their usage. Similarities in the results reveal factors that influence the usage data, which have not been taken into account previously. The presented results imply further applications of NoRA but also raise doubts about the value of download data of single publications.

Full textThis thesis consists of three empirical papers on French colonial trade patterns: Chapter 1 undertakes a comparative study between Franco-colonial trade and French trade with other groups of countries in order to analyse the nature and dynamic of French sectoral trade for the period starting 1880 until the eve of the WWI. Initially it presents a complete description of the construction and restructure of the various primary historical. Results highlight a common trend regarding Franco-colonial trade. In particular, French trade with its colonies was mainly based on imports of primary products and exports of manufactured goods meaning that the Empire was used as the main dispenser of French exports and their main provider of natural resources. Statistics also emphasize that the event of colonization was followed by an increase in trade between France and its colonies, while colonization from Britain and other metropolis did not impact trade between France and British/ other colonies. This chapter finally reveals that trade with French colonies was unbalanced with no advantage in favor of those colonies. Chapter 2 investigates how the colonial strategy through the settlement decision affected French trade patterns. Using a gravity model, results show that French colonies with more European settlements traded more with France, whereas the opposite is true for other colonies. The chapter further investigates two channels through which European settlements might have affected the French trade pattern with colonies: institutions and networking. Results show that better institutions brought by European settlements had a negative impact on trade with French colonies, while it promoted trade with British colonies. These results are consistent with the extractive nature of French trade relations with its colonies. As for networking, it increases overall French trade within French colonies but reduces it in other colonies. Finally in the last chapter we investigate the relation between the type of goods colonies exported to France and those economies' later development. A common explanation for the export-growth nexus is the quality of institutions established in those colonies during the colonial period. In order to investigate the impact of colonial trade on current growth through the mediation of institutions, we apply the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling. With this method we are able to simultaneously derive the relative importance of trade and of institutions on growth, while taking into account multicollinearity between the variables, their measurements errors and small sample size issues. The results suggest an important joint role for both trade and institutions in determining economic development in the long run. In particular French colonies who exported raw material developed extractive institutions, which negatively affected development today, while those who exported manufactured goods experience better economic performance today. Among British and other colonies, however, higher exports of both raw materials and of manufactured goods to France are associated with better institutions, which lead to better economic performance in the long-run

This study investigates the impacts of the institutional reform on firms’ tunneling behavior. Using a sample of Chinese listed firms from 2003 to 2013, we find that the institutional reform restrains listed firms from conducting self-dealing transactions and this effect is much stronger in non-SOEs. Moreover whether the controlling shareholder of non-SOEs is the domestic legal person or the foreign legal person, the tunneling behavior is significantly reduced. Further evidence shows that firms controlled by the domestic legal persons decrease the tunneling behavior whether they are under good governance mechanisms or not; while firms controlled by the foreign legal persons decrease their tunneling behavior in firms with multiple large shareholders, higher contestability and both well-developed and under-developed regions. Our results have some implications for policy makers.

After the Financial Crisis, institutional investors take more notice of corporate governance and operating performance. Any decision executed by the manager will affect the company’s development and ultimately affect the shareholders’ own interests. The study employs the event study to investigate the announcement of CEO turnover effects on shareholder’s wealth while considering the relationship between institutional investors and the CEO turnover. The results show that CEO turnover will affect market investors to evaluate the company’s operating performance; it generates abnormal returns around one day, after a day, after five days and after seven days. The changes of institutional investors’ shareholding proportion or an action of reducing holdings don’t affect the CEO turnover. However, institutional investors’ action of reducing shareholdings affects the shareholder’s wealth form announcement of CEO turnover. It implies that investors will measure the company’s value and operating performance via institutional investors’ actions of reducing shareholdings. Hence, the study suggests companies should describe the contents of CEO turnover exhaustively in order to release the correct information to investors. In addition, the classification of CEO turnover causes should have second proofs to distinguish whether the CEO turnover is involuntary.

The way to manage finance and investment in modern times is diverse, including real estate, insurance, bonds, stocks, futures, mutual funds, and foreign exchange. The fact that approximately three million of investors annually in stock market firmly shows stocks as one of the most popular accesses Taiwanese deal with their finance. It leads to a variety of research methods, such as technical analysis, fundamental analysis and financial analysis on the TV programs, which fulfill increasing expectations of investors to earn interest in the market. Nevertheless, most investors in the stock market are difficult to gain enough information. It easily disables them to make correct decisions on the selection of investment targets. As a result, more investors tend to rely on various index, ranging from financial report of certain companies, foreign investment, to the figures of general transactions of trust funds and dealers. To measure the market by these financial figures becomes as a more reliable strategy for investors. Based on the background and research motives abovementioned, this study aims to investigate all the listed and OTC corporations during the period from January to December, 2014. It divides both daily listed and OTC corporations into four categories respectively, including these two types of public corporations with increase and decrease of margin loan balance, as well as those with increase and decrease of stock loan balance. These eight categories, combined with net buy/sell of foreign investor, trust funds, dealers, are examined by the method of regression analysis. It can serve as an instrument for investors to ponder elements of the rise and fall of the stock market, helping them make more reasonable decision upon selection of investment targets. This study, through empirical analysis, shows the conclusion that figures of foreign investor and trust funds are more useful references for investors to purchase stocks of listed corporations, while the measurement of OTC corporations is able to be relied more on the index of trust funds and dealers.

The study uses institutional investors with more resources as the target to explore the impact of the establishment of corporate governance mechanisms and the level of accounting conservatism made on the institutional investors’ shareholdings. Furthermore, the institutional investor’s shareholdings are divided into two categories, long-term holders and short-term operators, depending on effectively monitoring the company or not. The results find that compared to short-term operators, long-term holding institutions will care more about the degree of adopting accounting conservatism and the establishment of corporate governance mechanisms. We use Cscore proposed by Khan and Watts (2009) to measure accounting conservatism and collect observations from US Stock Exchange during 2005-2015. The empirical results show that on one hand, companies adopting accounting conservatism to produce financial statements will reduce the willingness of institutional investors shareholdings. On the other hand, establishing with stronger governance mechanisms will increase shareholdings of institutional investors and give more positive appraisal of such companies. Finally, compared with investors in short-term operating institutions, long-term institutional holders are more willing to choose companies with better corporate governance mechanisms and lower levels of accounting conservatism as investing targets.

Foreign investors entering emerging markets have to take strategic decisions on where and how to set up operations. These decisions have to accommodate institutional conditions that vary not only between countries, but also within the host economy. Moreover, in Vietnam transition economy, institution changes rapidly as government carried out many reforms create substantial barriers to foreign investors. We offer a whole picture about institutional changes in Vietnam. We also bring a theoretical framework to analyze how institutions in an emerging economy influence entry strategy decisions of foreign construction firms. On this basis, we analyze the determinants of two key aspects of entry strategy: location and entry mode in Vietnam. We find that sub-national institutional variables have a significant influence on both dimensions. The availability of scarce resources affects the location of FDI and the likelihood of Greenfield entry. Institutional pressures arising from incumbent state-owned firms lead to a preference for joint venture entry. Transparency and ability access to information are important to attract foreign investment, especially in form of Greenfield. In Vietnam, the South has better institutional performance than the North, but difference in region does not influence the entry strategies of foreign construction firms.

Previous studies indicate that institutional investors perform better than individual investors. This study uses the VAR model to investigate the relationship between institutional investors'' trading volume and market returns of Taiwanese markets during the period from December 14, 2000 to December 14, 2005. The results reveal that foreign investors have the largest impact on stock and future return. However, none of the institutional investors'' option trading volume can significantly affect stock and future returns. Besides, the results also reveal that stock market lead future market and spill out information. In the analysis of institutional investors'' behavior, foreign institutional investors and domestic institutional investors employ contrarian strategy in futures market.

Full textAmong the most significant changes to the agricultural sector in the twentieth century include a sharp decline in employment and the numbers of farms, a decline in the proportion of total value that accrues to agricultural producers, and an increase in farm level and regional specialization. Within the U.S., substantial differences in the characteristics of agricultural producers and the spatial distribution of production persist amid industry change. These changes coincided with changes in global markets, domestic consumption, consolidation and concentration within the processing and retailing sectors, and government policy. The causality that lies behind these developments is the key puzzle that this study addresses.
This study advances an institutional explanation of industry formation across locations within the U.S. Differences in industry constitution at the local level produce different impacts of and responses to global markets, reflected by economic changes and policy developments, as actors work to secure stability and advantage in markets (Fligstein 2001). This study uses the global value chains' definition of the industry, which incorporates the network of actors arrayed along a process of production, to capture the set of actors with the capacity to affect industry operation (Gereffi 1994). An assessment of the relative importance of local economic characteristics, global markets, organization and coordination within industries, and government policies to where production locates in the primary objective of the study.
The pork and non-cigar tobacco industries across several states within the United States from 1959 through 2005 allow for a contrast along the key changes identified above. Within case comparison is used to construct causal narratives of industry change at the state level. Panel and pooled time series analysis assess the relative importance the factors to agricultural change.
Local economic characteristics largely fade from significance with the inclusion of the theoretical perspectives. Total and net trade in agricultural and manufactured products is generally significant across industries for production, although this is not the case for specific tobacco types. The proportion of farms composed of small farms is significant for production and for farm structure in both industries. The presence of manufacture is significant for hog production and could not be assessed for tobacco. While federal policies are broadly significant for the tobacco industry, identified state policies exhibit few consistent effects for hog production. Importantly, farm structure measures were only available for Census years, which reduces sample size. Second, many of the measures are industry-specific, which reduces comparability.

There were few studies focusing on the cultural characteristics of the organizational culture in Publicly-owned Hospitals (POHs) managed and controlled by Ministry of Health (MOH), and the relationship between institutional transformation and cultural changes. Therefore, this research has aimed to explore these important, yet ignored, issues in Taiwan. Theoretically, the system or institutional change should have significant impacts towards organizational culture, which, then hence, influences POHs’performance and efficiency. The study has sampled eleven POHs for this research and compared several organizational attributes systematically. The first result, followed by the comparison of organizational culture, has proved that POHs have conservative and bureaucratic organizational culture in common, but are significantly different in terms of teamwork, origination, and cost efficiency. By sequentially adopting Grouping Analysis, Layer Analysis, and Interrelation Analysis, results have suggested that both the difference of organizational culture and institutional transformation is highly related to their performance. That is: those hospitals have higher degree of institutional transformation tend to outperform in teamwork and cost efficiency; the institutional transformation in POHs is indeed in positive relation to the organizational performance, and vice versa. However, the research finds the evidence of cultural rigidity in POHs. Even though there is some performance improvement followed by introducing organizational transformation, it still seemed to have little impacts on the bases of their fundamental culture elements, such as conservatism and bureaucratic. The possible explanation might be that the so-called “organizational transformation”measures adopting by POHs are merely operational or strategic change, rather than real organizational transformation. If greater degree of organizational change is desired, .the reform measures should be more revolutionary to change the mentality and mindset of people in POHs.

This study seeks to advance the application of institutional anomie theory (IAT) by assessing its arguments in both the micro- and macro-levels for further understanding of employees’ organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). Specifically, this study investigates the relationships between the importance given to primary social institutions and the two forms of employees’ demonstration of OCB. In addition, a cross-level analysis is executed to consider the substantial role of the organization in this relationship. Particularly, the moderating effects of the dimensions of organizational climate to the association between the importance given to social institutions and OCB are tested. To empirically evaluate the proposed arguments, data were collected from various banks in the Philippines. By employing hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) method, data from 243 employees from 34 banks revealed significant and positive impacts of institutional importance and OCB. Significant interaction effects of organizational climate dimensions to the institutional importance–OCB relationship were also observed. Findings of this study provided support to some of the original propositions, while the others were opposite to the hypothesized direction. This research then offers new insights that are relevant to researchers, the organizations, and even the public in fostering shared values as well as in motivating pro-social and pro-organizational behaviors.

The purpose of this study is to examine the impacts of the institutional investors trade activity on volatility in taiwan stock and futures markets from the theoretical and empirical perspectives. This paper intends to analyze the volatility clustering of the financial time series data by using a Bivariate GARCH model, and then discuss the impact of the institutional investors trade activity on volatility in Taiwan stock and futures markets. The data period is from July 2, 2007 to August 25, 2017, with 2516 daily data in the Taiwan stock and futures markets. After the empirical results, it was found that: 1. The net buy/sell in Foreign stock has a greater impact on Taiwan futures market than Taiwan stock. 2. The long and short trade contracts of foreign trading in futures markets has a greater impact on Taiwan futures markets than Taiwan stock. 3. The long and short net open interest of foreign trading in futures markets has a greater impact on Taiwan futures markets than Taiwan stock. 4. Among the institutional investors, the net buy/sell of foreign trading in stock has a greater impact on stock and futures markets than the trust net and the dealers. 5. Among the institutional investors, the investment of the trust net in futures markets (quantity) has more influence on stock and futures markets (price) than foreign investment and the dealers. 6. The relationship between the open interest in the futures markets of the institutional investors and stock and futures markets (price) is negative.
