A comparative static application of the Heckscher-Ohlin model of factor proportions: Korean experience

Zusammenfassung Eine komparativ-statische Anwendung des Heckscher-Ohlin-Modells der Faktorproportionen: Die koreanische Erfahrung. - In diesem Aufsatz wird die komparativ-statische Variante des Heckscher-Ohlin-Modells für eine empirische Analyse der koreanischen Erfahrungen von 1960 bis 1980 benutzt und dabei gezeigt, da?die zeitliche Entwicklung der Struktur des koreanischen Au?enhandels mit den Erwartungen der Theorie übereinstimmt. In der Anfangsphase des exportorientierten Wachstums dominierten arbeitsintensive Sektoren im Warenexport, w?hrend die kapitalintensiven Exportsektoren in der sp?teren Phase hervortraten. Der gewogene Durchschnitt der Kapitalintensit?t von Korea’s Güterexporten stieg st?ndig entsprechend der Erh?hung der Kapitalakkumulation pro Arbeiter im verarbeitenden Sektor.

Résumé Une application comparative statique du modèle Heckscher-Ohlin des proportions de facteur: L’expérience coréenne. - Dans cet article l’auteur applique la version comparative statique du modèle Heckscher-Ohlin pour analyser l’expérience coréenne pendant 1960-1980. Il démontre que l’évolution de la composition du commerce extérieur coréen se conforme avec ce qu’on peut attendre du théorème. Il observe que les secteurs intensifs à main d’oeuvre dominent les exportations des biens coréens pendant la première période de la croissance orientée à l’exportation et que les secteurs exportatrices intensifs aux capitaux deviennent plus importants dans la période suivante. L’intensité de capital des exportations manufacturières de la Corée s’augmentait continuellement en conformité avec le progrès de l’accumulation de capital par travailleur dans le secteur manufacturier coréen.

Resumen Aplication comparativo-estática del modelo de proportion de factores Heckscher-Ohlin a la experiencia coreana. - En este trabajo se aplica la versión comparativoestática del modelo de Heckscher y Ohlin para analizar empíricamente la experiencia coreana en el período 1960–1980. Se demuestra que la evolución de la pauta del comercio coreano ha sido conforme a lo que predice el teorema. Se puede observar que las exportaciones de los sectores intensivos en mano de obra predominaron en la primer fase del crecimiento hacia afuera y que los sectores intensivos en capital surgieron más tarde. La intensidad de capital media ponderada de las exportaciones coreanas de manufacturas continuó aumentando de acuerdo con el aumento de la formation de capital por trabajador en cada sector manufacturero.

Violations of Service Fairness and Legal Ramifications: The Case of the Managed Care Industry

Adapted from Chan's (2000) model depicting success of litigation, this paper argues that with the application of various legislation, health maintenance organizations' (HMOs') violations of service fairness to each group: enrollees, physicians, and hospitals give rise to each group's lawsuits against the HMOs. Various authors (Bowen et al., 1999; Seiders and Berry, 1998) indicate that justice concepts such as distributive, procedural, and interactional justice can be applied to the area of service fairness. The violation of these underlying justice principles with HMOs' service unfairness to enrollees, physicians, and hospitals is examined. A general synopsis of the ethical issues in the managed care industry is provided. The various lawsuits launched by each group: enrollees, physicians, and hospitals together with the key statutes used are discussed. This paper also highlights the provisions and ramifications of the 11 April 2000 landmark agreement that Aetna made with Texas Attorney General John Cornyn to settle the 1998 lawsuit brought against the company. Lastly, the current ethical issues in the managed care industry are further discussed. The value of this paper can be adapted to the study of organizations' service fairness violations in other industries or in the educational, governmental, and not-for-profit sectors both nationally and internationally.

Self‐Fulfilling Early‐Contracting Rush*

In markets for entry‐level professionals, the insurance motive drives some participants to sign early contracts. The rush to early contracting can be self‐fulfilling, as both its effect on expectations about demand–supply balance in the subsequent spot market and the effect on it from changes in the demand–supply balance can be nonmonotone. Matching markets with more risk‐averse participants, a greater uncertainty regarding relative supply of positions, or a more polarized distribution of applicant qualities are more vulnerable to self‐fulfilling early‐contracting rushes. Employers can have a collective interest in preventing early offers to a few promising applicants from starting the rushes.     

Quality Management Systems Certification: Research Note

Although International Quality Standards 9000 certification is one of the most popular quality assurance systems in the world, its contribution to a firm's value is still a controversial issue. This project re-examines this issue by using stock market reactions to the announcements of the award of certification made by a sample of Hong Kong listed companies, as a proxy for its contribution to a firm's value. The results suggest that on average certification increased a firm's value. However, most of this value increase was incorporated into stock prices before formal announcements were published in newspapers. In addition, the contribution of certification to value was greater in smaller firms than in larger ones. This can be attributed to fewer stock traders and professional analysts following smaller firms.
