The brain drain, ‘educated unemployment’, human capital formation,and economic betterment1

Extending both the ‘harmful brain drain’ literature and the ‘beneficial brain gain’ literature, this paper analyzes both the negative and the positive impact of migration by skilled individuals in a unified framework. The paper extends the received literature on the ‘harmful brain drain’ by showing that in the short run, international migration can result in ‘educated unemployment’ and overeducation in developing countries, as well as a brain drain from these countries. A simulation suggests that the costs of ‘educated unemployment’ and overeducation can amount to significant losses for the individuals concerned, who may constitute a substantial proportion of the educated individuals. Adopting a dynamic framework, it is then shown that due to the positive externality effect of the prevailing, economy‐wide endowment of human capital on the formation of human capital, a relaxation in migration policy in both the current period and the preceding period can facilitate ‘take‐off’ of a developing country in the current period. Thus, it is suggested that while the migration of some educated individuals may reduce the social welfare of those who stay behind in the short run, it improves it in the long run.

Patrilocality and human capital accumulationEvidence from Central Asia1

Anthropologists estimate that 70 percent of human societies are patrilocal, meaning that adult sons reside with their parents, and that wives go to live with their husbands’ families upon marriage. Yet very little is known about how this widespread social norm influences intrahousehold resource allocation and, through this, economic development. This paper examines the effects of patrilocality on schooling and household educational expenditures in Tajikistan. To identify the causal effect of living in a three versus two generation household on these outcomes, exogenous variation in housing availability across communities is exploited. It is shown that the impacts of living in a three generation household are important for both school enrolment and for educational spending. The results suggest that one reason why patrilocal societies remain poorer than those with nuclear household norms is that three generation households make relatively few human capital investments in the youngest generation. Patrilocality, which probably evolved to solve coordination problems in agrarian societies, may thus be a cause rather than simply a correlate of low educational attainment in developing countries.

外资并购中国上市公司绩效的实证研究

本文在借鉴参考已有研究方法的基础上,采取会计研究方法,选取外资并购上市公司并购前一年、并购当年和并购后一年的净资产收益率、主营业务收入增长率和流动比率3个财务指标来作比较,以这三个财务指标的变化来衡量并购产生的绩效,从外资并购的整体情况、跨国公司所处的股东地位和并购类型来分类说明外资并购中国上市公司的绩效,得出了上市公司被外资并购后,短期内需要整合资源实现净资产收益率的提高;并购后上市公司扩大了生产规模,经营收入快速增长;跨国公司所处不同的股东地位和不同并购类型都对并购绩效有影响。     

外资并购国有企业中的职工安置问题研究

长期以来,由于中国采取低工资、高就业的政策,再加上国有企业的高福利政策,更是使得职工不愿随意离去。这种情况,往往使企业在兼并的过程中,受到职工大力的反对而作罢。而政府也希望能够保障职工的权益,避免造成社会问题,于是颁布了一些关于职工安置的法规,并在确定资产转让价格时要考虑这一因素。但这成本的增加,却会使得兼并方却步,也不容易达成兼并的目标。该如何平衡这两者,最好的方式还是尽快建立社会保障制度,并且彻底的实施,才能达到双赢的局面。     

Capital Cash Flows,APV and Valuation

This paper examines three different methods of valuing companies and projects: the adjusted present value (APV), capital cash flows (CCF) and weighted average cost of capital (WACC) methods. It develops the appropriate WACC and beta leveraging formulae appropriate for each valuation model, so that given a particular valuation model the correct APV and CCF values can be determined from the WACC value and vice versa. Further it goes on to show when the perpetuity formulae give poor estimates of the value of individual cash flows, even though the overall values are correct. The paper cautions that the APV and CCF models require more information than is currently known, such as the value of the corporate use of debt, and consequently can give misleading results, particularly in sensitivity analyses.
