At the global level, they have engaged in obfuscation of the nature of trade and actors, use of state prerogatives and resource, and arbitraging the countries in which they operate. At the local cross-border level, North Korean trade networks maintain relationships with brokers that obfuscate their true nature, and engage in smuggling across the Chinese border by land, river, and sea. How North Korean trade networks have adapted to sanctions has implications for denuclearization. First, the sanctions-evading strategies used by North Korea in many respects originated in the changes wrought in the North Korean economy since the 1990s, and as such, they are likely to continue even if sanctions are loosened. Second, while North Korean trade networks have adapted to sanctions, this is not necessarily their optimal scenario for economic development, which has implications for Kim Jong-un's denuclearization strategy. Finally, the trade networks themselves can continue to be used as part of a hedging strategy by North Korea even if denuclearization is continuing apace, but this strategy requires the cooperation of non-North Korean businesses.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111522000081/pdfft?md5=9e86155f223fb7e1746bb37cc1517ac5&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111522000081-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73090453","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}

Even though the two sides of the debate make implicit assumptions on historical agency, a direct link is rarely established as we lack information on historical female agency among lower class households.

This was mostly driven by gender-specific issues such as a son's taking over as the head of the household, thereby raising his wife's status, but with potential other daughters-in-law (wives of the brothers of the head of the household) ending up as assistants Yet, other factors also play a role. For example, we find a positive impact of traditional education on female agency.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111522000020/pdfft?md5=ce5e8683f118352bfb8f06d3b18f04be&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111522000020-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137191174","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}

The results show that regional formal institutional environment of China significantly and positively affects the location choice and performance of Chinese OFDI. Moreover, different regional formal institutions have varied effects. In particular, institutional factors represented by the ‘government and market relationship’, ‘product market’ and ‘factor market’ development play the key role. It is also found that actual FDI utilization and firms’ international experience play positive and significant moderation roles in the institutional effect on China's OFDI, but such moderation effects are constrained to ‘intermediary organizations and legal environment’ as the institutional factor only. Therefore, the policy of improving regional institutional quality can have a positive effect on OFDI and corporate performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111522000068/pdfft?md5=4d1ce93d1b5ec83d6377b56c8d0147b1&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111522000068-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137191460","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}

We find modest effects on total factor productivity (TFP), but complementary effects on exporting and sales. Multiple sources of heterogeneity in treatment effects are considered. Taking the foreign investment decision as one that may differ in intensity, continuous treatment based on dose (OFDI intensity)-response (TFP growth, sales growth, export intensity) functions shows an inverted U-shaped relationship complementing previous exports-performance literature. Export intensity shows a robust relationship in which performance rises relative to a dose of zero, within a range of OFDI intensity. As the foreign involvement of Indian firms is still very low, there appears to be a considerable interval over which OFDI can favorably impact home effects. OFDI policy should support the benefits of outward investment, focusing on firms with small OFDI positions</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111521000220/pdfft?md5=052f7185aafb87d228d66ebea5b48a3f&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111521000220-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91223087","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}

Unlike economic models in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa, the East Asian model prioritizes community interests of the work collective, the neighbourhood, the nation-state, and all of humanity over those of individuals, possibly limiting some human rights for the greater benefit of all. Crucial features of the East Asian economic model include relatively low income and wealth inequalities, strong state institutional capacity. The origins of the East Asian economic model can be traced to different trajectories of the development of the Global South since the 16th century.This paper argues that European economic model and the East Asian model have a lot in common. After controlling for the country size and the level of development, it turns out that government consumption as a share of GDP is relatively high in both models, whereas income inequalities are relatively low.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100126,"journal":{"name":"Asia and the Global Economy","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667111522000019/pdfft?md5=4da539605d976457c4a1df5a3ea38785&pid=1-s2.0-S2667111522000019-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137191175","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}
