    ISSUES OF PPP INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IN VIETNAM – THE TRANSACTION COSTS PERSPECTIVE

    No full text
    Actually, the Public Private Partnerships’ advantages are always highlighted, whereas the transaction costs embedded in these governance structures seem to be understated or ignored. They are classified in two types: explicit and implicit costs. The construction project’s features and the incomplete contract are the main causes of the explicit transaction costs. Moreover, the principal-principal and hold-up problems are aware of the implicit transaction costs’ origins. This paper’s objective is to study when, and what kind of infrastructure project Vietnamese government had better to apply the PPPs to. The four chosen typical BOT projects as case studies are the Phu My Bridge, the Rach Mieu Bridge, the Binh Trieu 2 Bridge and approached roads, and the Yen Lenh Bridge. The fulfilled analyses indicate that in a socialist economy as Vietnam, the soft budget constraints and the participation of the SOEs are the most popular underlying reasons of the implicit transaction costs embedded in PPP contracts. They also point out that in developing countries; the magnitude of an infrastructure project itself causes the hold-up problems. It contributes to undermine the advantages of, and is the seeds of exorbitant transaction costs in PPP projects in Vietnam in particular

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
