Unemployment insurance: The role of electoral systems and regional labour markets

Levels of insurance against unemployment vary considerably across countries. Replacement rates, the ratio relating income from unemployment to what people earned when they were employed, are higher in countries with proportional electoral systems than in countries with majoritarian systems. Also, replacement rates are positively correlated with per capita income and negatively correlated with the countries' unemployment rates. I develop an electoral competition model that replicates these stylized facts.     

Corporate governance structure and product market competition

This article assesses the effects of the competitive structure of a product market on a firm’s corporate governance structure. Our model demonstrates that shareholders strategically determine the corporate governance structure, including the manager’s stock ownership and his controlling power over the firm, in order to maximize their utility in the product market competition. We find that the manager’s stock ownership is lower and his controlling power over the firm is higher when the firm’s product is more profitable or when competition within the product market is more severe. The inefficiency of the wealth transfer from shareholders to the manager also affects the corporate governance structure.

Competition and risk in South East Asian commercial banking

This article investigates the effects of competition on bank risk taking behaviour in four South East Asian countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Vietnam). Our main finding is that competition does not increase bank risk-taking behaviour and the results appear robust to different model specifications, estimation approaches and variable construction. We also find that concentration is inversely related to bank risk whereas regulatory restrictions positively influence bank risk-taking.     

基于激光视盘机产业的主导设计出现过程研究

现有文献关于技术标准发起企业如何将自己的技术标准发展为主导设计这一问题缺乏深入的探索,因此无法对我国境内目前日益增多的标准战提供理论指导。本文通过对激光视盘机产业的纵向案例研究,识别到不同的竞争阶段及相应的关键影响要素,并将二者结合起来建立主导设计形成路径模型。

在低碳经济下农产品物流模式的探讨

低碳经济是以低能耗、低污染、低排放为基础的经济模式。在这样的低碳经济下,农产品的物流模式也需要迎合低碳号召,为农产品的贸易打下低碳基础。目前,我国农产品物流条件相对比较落后,为了更好的将生鲜农产品送到百姓的餐桌上,必须改变和创新物流模式来加快农产品的贸易,促进农村经济在低碳中快速增长。文中简要论述了低碳经济的含义,阐述了农产品物流现状,并对低碳物流模式进行了探讨。
