Enforceability in Trade Credit: Financial Aspects of Transactions with FDI
No full textThis paper documents financial aspects of transactions and trade credit supply behavior with foreign direct investment (FDI) among small- and medium-sized enterprises, based on two original surveys. The surveys, conducted in four cities in China in 2003, were designed to uncover the nature of inter-firm transactions, trade credit and other financial conditions. Literature on FDI mainly refers to technology transfer, employment, or investment. This paper focuses on the role/significance of FDI in the supply of trade credit due to its enforcement technology of trade credit. Yanagawa, Ito, and Watanabe (2006) developed an incomplete contract model wherein when the seller has a higher enforcement technology or the buyer has richer liquidity, both trade credit and transaction volume will increase. In this paper we first compute the "enforcement probability" of each seller then test the propositions of the model. We confirm that (1) FDI and G firms provide larger trade credit. (2) This is due to their higher enforcement probability in trade credit. Furthermore, (3) higher enforcement probability has a positive external effect in enhancing the trade credit and transaction volume of indirect transaction partners. However, we also find that (4) in order to raise the probability of "no default," enhancing the ratio of cash on delivery is a necessary measure. (5) A more competitive supplier will prefer cash on delivery payment and consequently will provide less trade credit to the economy. (6) With a shorter transaction period, the supplier will provide larger trade credit. This implies that firms with a stronger bargaining power prefer providing no trade credit though they can expect higher enforcement probability, thus reduces the volume of economic activity. These negative forces against enhancing trade credit and economic activity exist at a substantial level in China. Because of this force, a strategic default problem persists in China even 30 years after the transition began.

Mariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe 2021, sp. nov.
No full textMariannaea imbricata D. Hirose & K. Watanabe sp. nov. (Figure 3) MycoBank no.: 840111 Description: Sexual morph not observed. Colony diam., 7 d, in mm (average): PDA: 5˚ C (2), 10˚ C (8), 15˚ C (11), 20˚ C (26), 25˚ C (31), 30˚ C (31), and 35˚ C (no growth); MEA: 25˚ C (34). Colonies on PDA at 25˚ C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulated, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from the center to margin, amber with white margin and reverse sienna with white margin. Colonies on MEA at 25 ° C, matted felt at center, indistinctly zonate, with undulate margins, irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate, producing radially oriented fan-shaped structures from center to margin, white with ochreous margin, and reverse umber with fulvous margin. On PDA: hyphae 1.4‒6.3 µm wide, hyaline, smooth, thin-walled, branched and septate. Conidiophores 167.7‒798.4 µm (mean 451.0 µm, n = 50) long, 3.7‒8.5 µm (mean 6.1 µm, n = 50) wide at the basal cell, generally macronematous, mononematous, erect, septate, smooth thin-walled, hyaline, bearing short branches with 1–2 whorls of 2–5 phialides, or phialides formed in verticils on long main stalk. Phialides 6.2‒16.9 × 1.2‒2.4 (mean 10.4 × 1.7 µm, L / W 6.2, n = 50), typically slender flask-shaped, hyaline and smooth-walled. Conidia 4.7‒10.9 × 1.8‒3.2 µm (mean 6.2 × 2.5 µm, L / W 2.5, n = 50), generally fusiform to ellipsoidal, hyaline, smooth and thin-walled, aseptate and produced in imbricate chains. Chlamydospores 7.2‒22.2 × 4.6‒12.3 µm (mean 10.8 × 6.2 µm, L / W 1.7, n = 50), intercalary or terminal, produced singly or in short chains, globose to sub-globose, hyaline and thick-walled. Etymology: The epithet “imbricata” refers to the irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate morphology from the center to margins of colonies grown on PDA and MEA. Type: Sugadaira, Nagano, Japan, 2008, isolated from the decayed needles of Pinus densiflora (Holotype, TNS-F- 91410, dried culture on PDA; ex-type culture, NBRC 33105). Notes: Mariannaea imbricata is morphologically similar to M. atlantica, M. fusiformis, M. punicea, and M. terricola, but can be distinguished from these congeners by its slender flask-shaped phialides with a smooth-walled texture. The colonies are characterized by an amber to white pigmentation on PDA and a central matted felt texture, and with the center to margins irregularly oriented and coarsely undulate on PDA and MEA. This species does not form reddish-purple colonies. Phylogenetic analysis based on ITS and TUB-2 sequences can also be used to distinguish these species.Published as part of Watanabe, Kohei & Hirose, Dai, 2021, A novel Mariannaea species isolated from decayed pine needles in Japan, pp. 211-220 in Phytotaxa 522 (3) on pages 217-218, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.522.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/556041
