Aristocrats in Arbitration
This article explores whether the aristocratic status of arbitrators or disputants affected the outcome of inter-state arbitrations either before or after the 1899 Hague Peace Conference. This article takes a longue durée approach to the topic by including all inter-state arbitrations between 1794 and 1989. The research shows a statistically significant relationship between respondent-appointed aristocratic arbitrators on a tribunal and the outco…
A critical look at using financial technology policy to promote the sustainable development goals
New financial technologies (FinTech) may not represent a new era for sustainable development—at least not as currently conceived. Many of the gains espoused by the UN and other cheerleaders come from rebranding the online equivalents of traditional savings, investment and tax payment activities. Most of these claims have no supporting evidence, beyond ad hoc anecdotes and stories. The existing evidence hardly forms a reliable basis for the very s…
The FinTech Dividend
FinTech offers a new way to mobilize resources for all kinds of uses – including for funding sustainable development. Roughly 3%–13% of funding required for the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)– or around $50 billion to $125 billion ‐‐ could come from a ‘FinTech Dividend.’ Such a dividend derives from the use of FinTech platforms to increase savings and investment (overall), channel resources into publicly‐funded as well as privately‐fun…
Competition law in the Asia-Pacific region makes small and medium enterprises poorer without innovation law
Based on international advice, most countries in the APEC region have now adopted competition laws. The more competition, the better – especially for the small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that most need to compete. Yet, ‘better’ competition laws (as measured by a range of characteristics commonly associated with competition law and policy rankings) may actually hurt trade and growth. In this article, we provide a model of SME competition in the…
The value of the corporate governance canon on Chinese companies
China has yet to import the corporate governance “canon” (generally accepted rules as promoting share holder value as well as minority shareholder and other stakeholders’ rights) into its Code of Corporate Governance. What effect would Chinese companies’ simply adopting such a canon – as defined by Hong Kong or other foreign corporate governance practices -- have on their share prices? We look at Mainland Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong, lo…

The Role of Incentive Design in Parliamentarian Anti-Corruption Programmes
The “first wave” of donor sponsored anti-corruption programmes usefully focused on elaborating recommendations for parliamentarians or tried to train them (develop human capital) in anti-corruption. Now it time for these programmes to take into account parliamentarian incentives to adopt these recommendations and/or use this “knowledge.” This paper will discuss these incentives and the ways these programmes should and can help build political cap…
What Do African Donor‐sponsored Anti‐corruption Programmes Teach Us about International Development in Africa
Donor‐sponsored anti‐corruption programmes represent an increasingly large segment of international development assistance to Africa. While the ostensible objective of these programmes is to reduce African corruption, the generality of them suggests that other factors appear to motivate their design and implementation. This paper attempts to assess the generality of these programmes by looking at the specificity, relevance and fit of proposed ant…
