  • Exercising Strategic Flexibility by MNEs During the 2008–2009 Global Financial Crisis

    Open AccessWalid Hejazi, Jianmin Tang et al.ARTICLEWorld Economy2025

    Given the merits associated with foreign direct investment (FDI), governments deploy policies to attract foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs). At the same time, governments deploy policies to smooth business cycles because of the costs associated with fluctuations in economic activity. The cross‐border presence of MNEs bestows upon them the strategic flexibility to adjust their activities across borders in response to recessions or financial …

  • Association between heavy metal exposure and heart failure incidence and mortality

    Open AccessZebin Lin, Yongqi Dong et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2025

    These findings underscore cadmium's role as a risk factor and the paradoxical effects of mercury and arsenic: low to moderate concentrations of Hg/As may reduce HF risk through indirect pathways (e.g., reduced CHD/OMI for Hg) or direct cardioprotective mechanisms (for As), yet arsenic's association with mortality highlights its long-term cardiovascular toxicity. Findings advocate for preventive strategies targeting metal exposure and further rese…

  • Foreign subsidiaries and strategic flexibility

    Walid Hejazi, Jianmin Tang et al.ARTICLECritical Perspectives on…2025References: 1

    Purpose The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the importance of embedding strategic flexibility into organizational structures, and while this comes at a cost, such strategic flexibility pays off in the face of economic downturns. Furthermore, as the world has become more uncertain, so too has the relative importance of strategic flexibility. Multinational enterprise (MNE) managers should, therefore, assess the degree of uncertainty they fa…

  • R&D as a Source of the Resilience for Exporting Firms in the Face of Large Exchange Rate Movements

    Walid Hejazi, Jianmin Tang et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2025References: 2

    The Canadian dollar has experienced large movements in value against the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, thus creating significant strategic challenges for Canadian exporters. More specifically, when the Canadian dollar is devalued, exporters may depend on low export costs as their source of competitive advantage. However, when the value of the Canadian dollar is appreciated, innovation and product quality are more important to justify hi…

  • What Explains the Canada-US Labour Productivity Gap

    Someshwar Rao, Jianmin Tang et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2008Cited by: 1References: 5

    This paper analyzes the reasons for the Canada-US labour productivity gap, which is mainly explained by the multifactor productivity (MFP) gap. Based on panel data for 41 industries, the regression results show that differences in the machinery and equipment (M&E) capital-labour ratio, trade openness, and capacity utilization explain differences in the Canada-US MFP gap across industries. The M&E capital intensity gap is the dominant source of th…

  • Competitiveness Challenges Facing Canadian Industries

    Someshwar Rao, Jianmin TangARTICLECanadian Public Policy2004Cited by: 1References: 1

    The objective of this paper is to evaluate the competitive position of Canadian industries vis-à-vis their American counterparts. Our results suggest that recent good economic news and a strong trade performance mask Canada's competitiveness difficulties. The export surge and a big increase in the trade surplus were largely the result of a strong US economy and a large real depreciation of the Canadian dollar vis-à-vis the US dollar, but were not…
