Does corruption relieve foreign investors of the burden of taxes and capital controls?
Get PDFIn a sample of fourteen source countries making bilateral investments in forty five countries, the author finds that taxes, capital controls, and corruption, all have large, statistically significant negative effects on foreign investment. Moreover, there is no robust support in the data for the"efficient grease"hypothesis - that corruption helps attract foreign investment by reducing firms'tax burden and the irritant of capital controls.International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Capital Markets and Capital Flows,Decentralization,Fiscal&Monetary Policy,Economic Theory&Research,Economic Theory&Research,International Terrorism&Counterterrorism,Governance Indicators,National Governance,Capital Flows
The complete chloroplast genome sequence of Dianyuea turbinata (H.J. Dong & H. Peng) C. Shang, S. Liao & Z.X. Zhang (Salicaceae)
No full textThe chloroplast genome sequences of Dianyuea turbinata (H.J. Dong & H. Peng) C. Shang, S. Liao & Z.X. Zhang, endemic to Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province, China, was presented in this study (Dong and Peng ; Shang et al. ). The chloroplast genome sequence was 154,045 bp in length, with a large single-copy (LSC) region of 82,247 bp, a small single-copy (SSC) region of 16,522 bp, separated by two inverted repeat (IR) regions of 27,638 bp each. The total GC content was 37.1%. The complete plastome sequence contained 134 genes, including 89 protein-coding, 37 tRNA and 8 rRNA genes. The phylogenetic status of genus Dianyuea has been clarified through a Maximum-likelihood tree based on the chloroplast genome of 17 species
Domestic Institutions and the Bypass Effect of Financial Globalization
Get PDFThis paper proposes a simple model to study the relationship between domestic institutions - financial system, corporate governance, and property rights protection - and patterns of international capital flows. It studies conditions under which financial globalization can be a substitute for reforms of domestic financial system. Inefficient financial system and poor corporate governance in a country may be completely bypassed by two-way capital flows in which domestic savings leave the country in the form of financial capital outflows but domestic investment takes place via inward foreign direct investment. While financial globalization always improves the welfare of a developed country with a good financial system, its effect is ambiguous for a developing country with an inefficient financial sector/poor corporate governance. However, the net effect for a developing country is more likely to be positive, the stronger its property rights protection. This is consistent with the observation that developed countries are often more enthusiastic about capital account liberalization around the world than many developing countries. A noteworthy feature of this theory is that financial and property rights institutions can have different effects on capital flows.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Conquest, Concord, and Consumption: Becoming Shang in Eastern China.
Get PDFThis dissertation research explores the making of the broader Shang world in the late second millennium B.C. Specifically, I investigate how aspects of the symbolic, social, and natural worlds converged in human interactions with animals, particularly in the realms of food and religious communication on the eastern frontier of the Shang civilization. As animals had symbolic and economic importance to the Shang, my research on patterned variation in animal remains from diverse archaeological contexts informs on status differences, economic conditions, and cultural change in the context of state expansion. While the state may have had an interest in promoting ritual institutions pertaining to its notions of order and legitimacy, local networks of power were often reproduced through simple and unconscious practices of everyday life and rituals. My dissertation investigates diverse aspects of human interaction with animals as potential loci for state reconfigurations of the ritual order as well as loci for parallel networks of power to diverge, subvert, or resist the state claim to centrality in the structure of Shang life. The process of "becoming Shang" can be best conceptualized as reconciling on-going tensions between the state's claim to supremacy and diverse local circumstances.PhDAnthropologyUniversity of Michigan, Horace H.
