Recent trends in globalization of Pacific Basin commodity markets raises important questions concerning the nature of market integration and price linkages. This paper examines this issue by testing for price linkages between the United States and Japan for two species whose exports from the U.S. to Japan have risen considerably over the past decade. Empirical results indicate segmentation of price linkages for sablefish but probable price linkages for some thornyhead markets. Findings suggest that markets for these species may be less sensitive to price changes in Japan than would be expected based on commodity flows. 相似文献

The nature of management as a discipline is problematic. Drawing on Aristotle’s concepts of poiesis and techne, it can however be seen as one of a class of professional disciplines such as medicine, law, engineering or teaching which are characterized by their instrumentality, contingency and processuality. These three attributes suggest three basic questions (What do managers do? What affects what they do? How do they do it?) which in turn yield a three‐dimensional model. While the contents of the model must be regarded as tentative, its form offers one way in which management can constitute itself as a discipline and re‐position itself within higher education. Questions arise in relation to the nature and status of the model, the segmented nature of management work, its varying internal/external focus and the locus of management decisions. However the model appears to provide a useful, heuristic framework within which practitioners can address specific, concrete problems and decisions. 相似文献

While it is widely recognized that racial minorities and residents of distressed urban communities experience relatively greater
difficulty in obtaining mortgage loans, there is little consensus on the causes of such lending patterns. This study examines
the relationship between lender profitability and the percentage of their loans and loan dollars that are invested in Milwaukee’s
central city and to racial minorities throughout the metropolitan area. Findings suggest that to understand broader industry-wide
patterns, it is important to focus on the characteristics of lending institutions themselves, particularly those that yield
discriminatory lending patterns, and not solely on the income, credit rating, and other socioeconomic characteristics pertaining
to the risk and profitability associated with various population groups and community areas. Policy and research implications
that will lead to a more comprehensive understanding of, and more effective solutions for, urban credit availability or redlining
problems are discussed. 相似文献

Insurance redlining and the racially discriminatory consequences of the sale of property insurance have been documented in
several cities throughout the United States. In this study teams of “testers”—comparably qualified insurance consumers who
differed only in the racial composition of the neighborhood of the homes they sought to insure—contacted three Milwaukee area
insurance companies regarding the possibility of purchasing insurance for their homes. Though no blatantly discriminatory
behavior was exhibited, agents representing these companies expressed a clear preference to pursue business in white communities
and placed additional barriers in the way of testers from nonwhite neighborhoods. These findings parallel changes in other
institutional sectors of the housing industry where blatantly discriminatory behavior has generally given way to more subtle
forms of bias. Policy recommendations are offered to reduce existing racial disparities in the availability of insurance and
to open up housing markets in general for minorities. 相似文献

Excess Capacity and Asymmetric Information in Developing Country Fisheries: The Malaysian Purse Seine Fishery 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Excess capacity poses a problem in many developing country fisheries. These countries often pursue a development strategy aimed at expanding capacity under open access. Sustainable development, however, requires management. Principal-agent issues from asymmetric information between the regulator and fishers, which potentially form serious obstacles to fisheries management, arise in the likely forms of management. This article discusses principal-agent issues and examines the principal-agent moral hazard issue, which is due to divorce of ownership and vessel operations. The article also illustrates a method for estimating capacity when information is limited. The Peninsular Malaysian purse seine fishery forms a case study. 相似文献

This paper presents empirical tests of the hypothesis that high-dividend-yield stocks offer investors significantly lower systematic risk in down markets. While high-yield stocks have lower levels of systematic risk overall, there is no evidence in this study that lower systematic risk is achieved in down markets for stocks with high-yield components in their total rates of return. This finding is robust over a variety of test procedures and provides additional support for dividend irrelevance propositions. 相似文献

This paper provides a profit-maximizing modelwith vessel-level dolphin mortality limits forpurse seiners harvesting tunas in the easterntropical Pacific Ocean. The model analyticallyderives the shadow price (estimated economicvalue) for dolphin mortality, the fishing-fleetsize, and the annual tuna harvest as functionsof a few key fishing parameters. The model alsoprovides a statistical method to determine theaccuracy of all needed parameter estimates. Thepaper then applies the model to the year 1996and the period from 1985 to 1987. The shadowprice measures the economic value to the UStuna fleet of dolphins lost in the harvestingof tuna. This value is essential whenattempting to evaluate the economic benefitsand costs to society of any action designed toreduce the mortality of dolphins in theharvesting of tuna in the eastern tropicalPacific Ocean. 相似文献
