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}

First, we propose a shift in the technonationalist paradigm, from focusing on a single-state approach with an industrial policy oriented toward development to a multistate focus approach with a geoeconomic strategy oriented toward security. It also highlights the integration of business interests into the national strategic agenda as a critical criterion. Second, the study examines investment in Japan by Elpida Memory, Kioxia, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. Based on Japan as a case study, the findings show a shift to technonationalism, as the government responds to changes in international political conditions, rather than to domestic demands for supporting a specific segment of the semiconductor industry.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100063"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50187679","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper conducts a comparative analysis of China's Tibet and India's Ladakh with the aim of identifying common and idiosyncratic factors relevant for local economic development. A descriptive analysis explores the administrative, military, demographic, and economic factors in each region. Moreover, we use an ARDL model to examine the long-run relationship between fiscal transfers and regional growth. Lastly, three measures are employed to investigate the extent of integration between the Himalayan regions and the rest of their respective countries. The results indicate that Tibet and Ladakh exhibit many similarities related to a limited degree of regional autonomy, a strong military presence, and the importance of agriculture and services. The empirical investigation confirms the cointegration between transfers and growth. Regional integration is furthered by increasing inflows of domestic tourists and expanding freight traffic.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":"3 2","pages":"Article 100073"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111523000208/pdfft?md5=d458a0766ac575f5188ef4c5eee6d249&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111523000208-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138549951","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}
