The challenges are to re-establish a dispute resolution mechanism, as the WTO process currently allows decisions to be appealed into oblivion, and to extend the coverage of world trade law to address changes in world trade since 1995. This paper argues that the best option for a beyond-WTO institutional order is an expanded Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and that, absent a functioning WTO appeal system, the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA) is a way to resolve appeals. This could lead to a three-tier global trade system as the expanded CPTPP membership observes the highest standard world trade rules, a second group accepts WTO rules but no more, and a third group has no interest in being bound by world trade rules. On the post-2017 record, the USA could be in any of these three groups. The leading Asian trading nations have a key role to play in ensuring that the first group accounts for the majority of world trade, and to encourage countries to want to follow CPTPP standards and to be at the table when extensions to these standards are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100068"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111523000154/pdfft?md5=e91fe0d4a535fb169f3f15527a50f466&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111523000154-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138413082","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evidence suggests that firm performance improves as competition increases. Besides, results depict heterogeneity in the conditional determinants of firm performance between competitive and non-competitive industries. We observe that at upper quantiles of Tobin's q, competitive firms have better performance than their non-competitive counterparts. Findings also suggest that exogenous factors, such as managerial efficiency or managerial incentives provided by the promoters in competitive firms, may be some of the unobservable factors increasing the net positive differences in Tobin's q between competitive and non-competitive firms. This has the implication that policy frameworks are different in competitive and non-competitive industries. Moreover, we observe that the enactment of Clause 49 in December 2005, which aimed at improving corporate governance in India, improved firm performance in less competitive industries. The findings therefore imply that competition acts as an external mechanism to discipline management and increases firm performance as a consequence. Thus, competition seems to act as a substitute for direct institutional reforms to improve corporate governance. The results have important policy implications. Since improvement in corporate governance has relatively more pronounced effect in non-competitive industries, policy efforts should be made in that specific direction.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100066"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111523000130/pdfft?md5=e8b499674493729f3a58fd906f59df8d&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111523000130-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"92100939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently Indonesia has faced the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, contractionary U.S. monetary policy, and fluctuating commodity prices. To examine how the economy is faring since the pandemic began, this paper compares sectoral stock returns since COVID-19 hit the Indonesian economy with forecasted returns based on macroeconomic variables. The results indicate that coal, iron and steel, health care, and pharmaceuticals are outperforming more than three years after the coronavirus crisis began. Tobacco, industrials, and sectors related to construction are underperforming. The regression evidence also indicates that Indonesian sectors are primarily exposed to the Indonesian stock market. Coal, iron and steel and natural resources stocks are less exposed to the Indonesian stock market and more exposed to the world stock market. Almost no sectors exhibit exposure to contractionary U.S. monetary policy. The importance of the Indonesian stock market in explaining stock returns reflects the fact that the Indonesian economy is largely driven by domestic demand. To increase its resilience, Indonesia should also nurture labor-intensive exports.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100069"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111523000166/pdfft?md5=e37c9836270db984e6e3d78eda3869a1&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111523000166-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138501178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
