Integrating cultural perspectives in pro-sustainable-forest-management behavior: Evidence from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal groups in Ontario, Canada
Enhancing stakeholder engagement in sustainable forest management: A multi‐domain comparative analysis of forest‐related beliefs, values, and behaviors of C anadian A boriginal and non‐Aboriginal grou…
The study aims to understand the variations in the domain‐specific pro‐sustainable‐forest‐management behavior (PSFMBs) and their explanatory factors across ecological, economic, recreational, and Aboriginal domains and between Aboriginal and non‐Aboriginal groups. A hybrid model of PSFMB, which integrates environmental psychology and resource economics perspectives, is conceptualized and estimated using multi‐group path analysis and data from thr…

Can ‘too much' trust slow tourism development? An exploratory cross-country analysis
This paper investigates a relationship between countries’ trust and tourism development using data drawn from the World Value Survey. We hypothesize that social trust creates a positive influence on tourism development. However, this paper finds that, beyond a certain level of average social trust, more trust may have a negative impact on tourism development. We suggest that in-depth analysis is required to examine how social trust can promote or…

Valuation of First Nations peoples' social, cultural, and land use activities using life satisfaction approach
Social, Cultural, and Land Use (SCLU) activities of First Nations peoples of Canada are valued using a two-layer multi-domain – Financial, Health, Housing, and SCLU – model of life satisfaction. The model was estimated using primary data and 2SLS and 3SLS·The SCLU domain contributed more than twice than the Financial domain to general satisfaction (GS). SCLU activities, such as trapping days, gathering days, traditional diets, quality of time spe…

Consultation and Deliberation in China: The Making of China's Health-Care Reform
In April 2009, the Chinese government unveiled a plan for a comprehensive overhaul of the country's medical system. This dramatic moment was preceded by public debate, as well as government introduction of forums for public participation, which allowed diverse social groups to provide feedback on the policymaking process. Tracing the origins and outcome of the debate and public participation, we ask whether this debate and participation go beyond…

Corporate Environmentalism Across Cultures: A Comparative Field Study of Chinese and Japanese Executives
This study explores the influence of national culture upon leaders' interpretations of corporate environmentalism. The first part of the paper reviews the theoretical and empirical premises for a common interpretation of corporate environmentalism across countries. Three dimensions of corporate environmental performance are distilled from the qualitative literature developed in North America: organizational embeddedness, capacity to undertake env…

Can China Be a Clean Tiger: Growth Strategies and Environmental Realities
C HINA S ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES are of interest to the rest of the world for at least three reasons. First, since roughly one in five people on the planet is a citizen of the People's Republic, China's environmental policies will have a major influence on phenomena such as global temperature trends which may have impacts far beyond China's borders. Second, the enormity of its environmental challenges will make China a vast market for environmenta…
Innovation, Strategy and Canada's Forest Products Industry
This study identifies the changes affecting the Canadian forest products industry and relates those changes to imperatives facing Canadian firms to modify their corporate and business-level strategies. The paper investigates the role of innovation strategies and suggests changes to institutional arrangements that indirectly or directly accommodate them. More secure forestry tenure arrangements and a change in policies toward industry concentratio…
Environmental NGOs, new information technologies and the demand for environmental improvement in the developing and industrializing nations of the Asia Pacific region
Generally, the demand for environmental improvement increases with average per capita national income, although many other factors have an influence. In most Asia Pacific Region (APR) countries, pressures from population growth and poverty have lent an urgency to the idea that economic growth is currently more important than environmental protection. However, the relatively recent widespread acceptance of the concept of sustainable development ha…
Japanese Economic Policies and Growth: Implications for Business in Canada and North America
Canada-Japan Trade in an Asia-Pacific Context
JAPAN'S TRADE RELATIONSHIPS are important to Canada for several reasons. Not only is it Canada's second-largest trading partner, its acrimonious trade disputes with the United States, Canada's dominant trading partner, expose Canada to a variety of risks and opportunities. Moreover, the prominent role ofJapanese firms in the Asia-Pacific means that success in Japan is important to exploiting opportunities fully elsewhere in the region.' Canada's …

Long-Term Changes in Korea's International Trade and Investment

A new, democratic government committed to economic liberalization as well as shifting external pressures ranging from the downfall of communism to the conclusion of the Uruguay Round of the GATT are factors that suggest that a substantial restructuring of Korea's economy is likely to take place in t…
Rent Regulation: Design Characteristics and Effects
Japan's Energy Strategy at the Crossroads
HE WORLD OF ENERGY POLICY is characterized by sharp discontinuil ties and high stakes. Responses to energy supply uncertainties and the quest for energy security vary among nations, reflecting the different decision-making systems, resource profiles, and the values and perceptions of the future which are dominant in a country at a particular time. Indeed, the energy strategies of Japan reflect its unique social decisionmaking system and position …
Toxic chemical regulation in Canada: Preliminary estimates of costs and benefits
This paper makes an assessment of the impact of toxic chemical regulation in Canada. Ranges of costs and benefits, supplemented by survey information, analogous American data, interviews and case studies have been used to demonstrate the general usefulness of a cost‐benefit framework for public sector decision‐making even where information availability is constrained and complete analysis is not feasible. It is concluded that, with few exceptions…

Clinical Styles and Motivation: A Study of Laboratory Test Use
The study reported in this paper examines clinical reasoning styles with a focus on laboratory utilization. A stratified sample of 80 physicians participated in the solution of a simulated patient management problem. The analysis focuses on variation in the portfolio of laboratory tests ordered as a function of practice setting (e,g., physicians in practice versus physicians in training). The study also examines the response of physicians to the …
