Journey to Net‐Zero and Investment in Renewable Energy: Evidence From Developed and Developing Countries
This study examines how geopolitical risk, high‐technology exports and the Paris Agreement shape investment in renewable energy across developed and developing economies. Drawing on structural contingency theory, we conceptualise renewable energy investment as a country‐level response to external contingencies and analyse a global panel of 100 countries from 2007 to 2021. Using OLS, fixed‐effects panel models, two‐step system GMM and dynamic Diff…
Exploring the Role of Aid for Trade in Promoting Digital Services Trade
Digitally deliverable services (DDS) are playing a growing role in global trade, yet empirical evidence on how Aid for Trade (AfT) relates to DDS remains limited. This study examines the bilateral association between AfT and DDS using data for 29 donors and 134 recipients from 2005 to 2019 within a PPML‐based structural gravity framework. AfT is positively associated with DDS exports from donors to recipients, whereas AfT from EU institutions is …
Foreign direct investment (FDI) and environmental quality: Is greenfield FDI greener than mergers and acquisitions FDI
Environmental sustainability is a key objective of sustainable development. In this connection, there are growing concerns about the environmental impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), even though it is a potentially powerful engine of growth and development in developing countries. In this study, we empirically examine and compare the environmental impact of two different types of FDI, namely greenfield FDI, and mergers and acquisitions (M&…
Do dirty and clean energy investments react to infectious disease-induced uncertainty
Following the outbreak of novel coronavirus, numerous studies have assessed the effect on global financial markets. However, investigations into whether, and to what extent, dirty and clean energy asset classes are sensitive to contagious diseases are rare. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature. We measured the effects of contagious viruses using the recently introduced infectious disease-related uncertainty index (EMVID). Our data i…

Does aid for trade promote import diversification
Many studies have found that Aid for Trade (AfT) is effective in promoting the exports and imports of recipient countries. Recently, Gnangnon ( The World Economy , 42, 2019 and 396) and Kim ( The World Economy , 42, 2019 and 2684) found that AfT also contributes to the export diversification of recipient countries. We extend previous studies by assessing the effects of AfT on import diversification of recipient countries by estimating a two‐step …

Measuring the Economic Risk of Covid‐19
We measure the economic risk of COVID‐19 at a geo‐spatially detailed resolution. In addition to data about the current prevalence of confirmed cases, we use data from 2014–2018 and a conceptual disaster risk model to compute measures for exposure, vulnerability, and resilience of the local economy to the shock of the epidemic. Using a battery of proxies for these four concepts, we calculate the hazard, the principal components of exposure and vul…

Determinants of Producer Price versus Consumer price inflation in emerging Asia
This paper examines and compares the determinants of producer and consumer price inflation in ten Asian countries during 2000–2015. In this connection, we also investigate the pass-through of global oil prices, global food prices and exchange rates to domestic producer and consumer prices. The model applied here is based on the dynamic interrelationship between the price variables in the distribution chain. Our results show that external cost-pus…

Applying the natural disasters vulnerability evaluation model to the March 2011 north-east Japan earthquake and tsunami
Natural hazards have a potentially large impact on economic growth, but measuring their economic impact is subject to a great deal of uncertainty. The central objective of this paper is to demonstrate a model-the natural disasters vulnerability evaluation (NDVE) model-that can be used to evaluate the impact of natural hazards on gross national product growth. The model is based on five basic indicators-natural hazards growth rates (αi), the natio…
Social Protection in Asia
Broadly speaking, social protection refers to society's protection of its individual members from various lifetime risks. Some population groups, in particular the poor, are more vulnerable to such risks than others. Social protection usually takes the form of government programs such as labor market interventions, social insurance, and social safety nets. Among these, the modern cradle-tograve welfare state throughout developed countries firmly …

The Prospects of the Asean–China Free Trade Area (ACFTA): A Qualitative Overview
ASEAN and China are economic partners as well as economic competitors. A widely proposed means of strengthening the economic partnership is to form a free trade area between the two. Our primary objective is to use insights from customs union theory to examine whether an ASEAN–China Free Trade Area (ACTFA) would be potentially beneficial for both sides. Our analysis of relevant static factors such as the level of pre-integration trade and initial…
Does Foreign Direct Investment Cause a Race to the Bottom
One of the main initiatives for regional economic integration and cooperation in Southeast Asia is the Greater Mekong Sub-Region (GMS), which involves Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and China's Yunnan Province. Our paper provides an overview of major recent developments in the GMS initiative. In particular, we explore the impact of the Asian financial crisis and the economic role of Thailand within the group. Being the largest and mos…

The Dichotomy Between Northeast Asian Capitalism and Southeast Asian Capitalism
The common success as well as the post-1997 crisis of East Asian countries has led to a widespread tendency to view their economic systems as a homogeneous monolith. In reality, there are significant structural differences among the region's economies, although they do share many strengths and weaknesses. In particular, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia appear to have followed significantly divergent paths toward development and growth. The main …

The Challenge of Cross-Cultural Psychology: The Role of the Indigenous Psychologies
This article outlines the indigenous psychologies approach within the context of three research traditions in cross-cultural psychology: the universalist, contextualist, and integrationist approaches. The first section outlines the limitations of the universalist and contextualist approaches. The second section overviews the two integrationist approaches: the derived etics approach and the indigenous psychologies approach. In comparison to the fo…
