Global and regional financial integration in East Asia and the ASEAN

Financial integration is East Asia and the ASEAN nations is investigated using a new approach based on entropy theory. An important advantage of the proposed framework is that it takes into account changes in integration arising from higher order moments including coskewness and cokurtosis as well as more traditional measures based on second order moments. The analysis focusses on the role of the U.S. in understanding changes in global integration over time, as well as changes in regional integration arising from China. Using daily stock returns from 1997 to 2016, the empirical results show an overall trend to improvements in financial integration over time with deviations from the trend occurring during periods of financial crises in Asia in 1997–98, the U.S. in 2007–10 and the recent European debt crisis. The influence of the Chinese economy mainly through its trading linkages is found to be an important determinant of financial integration over time both regionally as well as globally.     

Contextualizing speed and cross-border acquisition performance: Labor market flexibility and efficiency effects

There is general agreement that acquisition integration is decisive for acquisition performance. Despite this consensus, there are heterogeneous results on integration measures, such as integration speed with empirical research supporting the benefits of either fast or slow integration. We argue that the business environment surrounding acquisitions has the potential to reconcile conflicting findings. We develop how institutional factors (i.e., labor market flexibility and efficiency) influence the relationships between speed of human and functional integration on acquisition performance. With a sample of 203 transactions from acquirers from central Europe and Scandinavia, we find human and functional integration speed have divergent effects on acquisition performance. Further, both relationships are moderated by labor market flexibility and efficiency, but in different ways. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Good practice in multicultural integration work in Finland: collaborative learning in culturally sensitive projects

Finland is undergoing a rapid change from a homogenous culture to a heterogeneous culture. With immigrants from all over the world making Finland their home, a lot of multicultural integration work is needed. Collaborative learning in peer groups can work as a useful framework for enhancing tolerance toward differences, and consumer education and home economics education offer a fruitful setting for this kind of collaborative teaching of tolerance. In particular, the practical nature of consumer education and home economics makes it suitable to teach multiculturalism in a daily life setting. In this study, 10 integration projects in Finland were examined through a qualitative summary to reveal the key elements in successful multicultural integration work. The focus was on multicultural, collaborative interactions. The results show that problems are bound to arise when people from different cultures meet. Daily life situations, culturally unequal settings, poor participation and a lack of real interaction between different cultural groups can be problematic. These problems need to be overcome before the richness of different cultures can be revealed. People need to learn how to use the tools of multicultural and collaborative learning before the group can act successfully.     

基于社会建构法的后并购时期企业整合战略

企业并购可以分为并购前的实体核查和并购后的关系整合两个阶段,与此相适应,并购前的初始战略在并购后将自然过渡到整合战略.但是,与初始战略着眼于法律许可、盈利的可能性不同,整合战略着眼于共享知识的重建,因此有必要基于社会建构法,对并购后认同、情绪、冲突、权力和流言的建构过程进行考察,最终使初始战略在内化和具体化的过程中不失其本来的内在连贯性.

长三角地区住房反向抵押养老保险需求研究--基于“医养结合”一体化视角

我国人口老龄化问题凸显,给传统社会养老保障体系带来巨大挑战。住房反向抵押养老保险作为"医养结合"养老模式下的新型商业养老保险,可拓宽养老金融筹资渠道,缓解社会养老压力。本文在对长三角地区人口老龄化背景下住房反向抵押养老保险需求情况进行问卷调查的基础上,运用logistc回归模型和交叉列表分析法对数据进行了分析,认为我国推行住房反向抵押养老保险应在政府推动下进行。     

内蒙古中部城市群建设中存在的问题及对策研究

呼和浩特、包头、鄂尔多斯三市构成的"金三角",是内蒙古自治区中部的城市密集区。呼包鄂三市在构建城市群的过程中,存在一些问题:城市体系不完整、城市聚集和扩散功能弱,产业链条薄弱、区域合作力度小,产业结构趋同、技术水平低。在推进呼包鄂经济一体化过程中要完善城市体系,推进行政一体化,加强城市的协作与分工。
