Ebook The Asian Economic Crisis

Submitted by puput on Fri, 08/07/2009 - 06:42

The economies of east Asia at the centre of the recent crisis have been some of the most successful emerging market countries in terms of growth and gains in living standards. With generally prudent fiscal policies and high private saving rates, these countries had become a model for many others. That this region might become embroiled in one of the worst financial crises in the post-war period was hardly ever considered - within or outside the region a realistic possibility. What went wrong? Part of the answer seems to be that these countries became victims of their own success. This success had led domestic and foreign investors to underestimate the countries’ economic weaknesses.

During 1998, it became increasingly apparent that the global economy was heading towards a period of slower growth, with a quarter of the world economy in recession and world trade growth set to fall by two-thirds. These trends began with the Asian Crisis. The countries at the heart of the Asian Crisis are the same countries that had, for the previous two decades, shown spectacular economic growth that was the envy of the world: Korea, Singapore, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines.

Ebook Debt, Managerial Compensation and Learning

Submitted by puput on Thu, 06/16/2011 - 03:47

The issue of aligning managerial interests with those of the owners is important and has received considerable attention in the economics and finance literature. The traditional tool for aligning these interests has been managerial compensation contracts. However, it is increasingly recognized, especially in the finance literature, that the firm's capital structure, that is, the proportion of debt financing, also has a bearing on the manager's incentive to act in the owners interest.

Ebook Supply-side cost sharing when patients and doctors collude

Submitted by wulan on Mon, 06/07/2010 - 07:29

In most health care systems, doctors act as gatekeepers to patients requiring “referred” services such as pharmaceuticals, tests and procedures. With the rising costs of such services, many third-party purchasers of health care are focussing on this gate keeping role of doctors.

Many purchasers have introduced supply-side cost sharing which imposes financial penalties on doctors for utilizing referred services, with the objective of limiting the utilization of referred services to patients for whom the benefit will outweigh the cost. Although imposing such schemes may result in more cost effective use of referred services, it also creates a potential agency problem for the
patient.
