Transient institutions react more positively to corporate disclosure quality during market downturns than during normal market periods, as better disclosure practices lower information asymmetry and are thus associated with reduced uncertainty, enhanced liquidity, and weakened impacts of crises, which are the most desirable features of assets during market downturns. Dedicated institutions are insensitive to corporate disclosure quality in both normal and market downturn periods, as they have access to inside information and rely less on public disclosures. Their reliance on corporate disclosures in market downturns, however, increases sharply after the implementation of Regulation Fair Disclosure, which removes their inside information advantage. We further show that corporate disclosure reduces information asymmetry to a greater extent in market downturns than in normal market periods and that transient ownership in market downturns provides strong price support and stabilizes return volatility, whereas dedicated ownership does not possess such functions. Finally, we show that the results are not simply driven by endogeneity and are robust to alternative corporate disclosure quality measure and to the control of other determinants of institutional holdings.","PeriodicalId":330992,"journal":{"name":"New Institutional Economics eJournal","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128949191","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}

While existing literature tends to focus primarily on formal institutions, informal institutions play a vital role in the delivery of public services in countries where formal institutions are weak. This paper analyses the integration of formal and informal institutions, using the Bougainville Healthy Communities Program’s (BHCP) delivery of public health services in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea (PNG) as a case study. It examines how an operative framework that combines formal and informal institutions is able to determine positive outcomes. The integrations take place at various levels between government and non-government sectors, as well as between formal and informal institutions. While the findings can be applied to PNG and other, similar, countries, particularly developing and post-conflict countries, this case study is important for Bougainville itself. In the next year or two, Bougainville will have a referendum on its future status, and the need for a strong governance system at the national and community levels will be of paramount importance.","PeriodicalId":330992,"journal":{"name":"New Institutional Economics eJournal","volume":"66 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126208893","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}

Kiesling","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3229917","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3229917","url":null,"abstract":"The platform economy reflects the business model of some of the largest and fastest-growing firms in the economy. Platform business models emerge and thrive because of the potential profit in taking advantage of transactions cost reductions to connect people for mutual benefit, and this value creation is best understood by thinking about the epistemology of decentralized market processes. Three essential aspects of knowledge are relevant to platform business models: (1) knowledge can be private and diffuse; (2) knowledge can be contextual; and (3) knowledge may not exist outside of the economic process. After defining and analyzing the technology, economic, and institutional aspects of platforms the author defines and applies market epistemology to explore how platforms harness technological and organizational features to create value-enhancing market platforms by exploiting the epistemic benefits of technology-enabled decentralized market processes. The author concludes by using this epistemic framework to propose an electricity distribution platform business model – the retail electricity industry is undergoing a process of technological dynamism, and as a regulated infrastructure industry, evolving into a decentralized market industry is presenting challenges to which this epistemic framework can bring increased understanding.","PeriodicalId":330992,"journal":{"name":"New Institutional Economics eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122572360","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}

La investigacion parte de la observacion de que la actividad economica en Espana muestra un fuerte patron de especializacion geografica: las regiones menos especializadas en manufacturas o actividades industriales y orientadas al sector servicios en el sur (como Andalucia o Extremadura) contrastan con regiones mas industrializadas o con mayor intensidad manufacturera en el norte, como el Pais Vasco, Navarra o Aragon. Para realizar el analisis, construimos tasas de congestion judicial a nivel provincial para las jurisdicciones civil, administrativa y social y estimamos su efecto sobre el peso del sector manufacturero y el sector servicios en el PIB provincial. Para que la estimacion sea consistente, analizamos las diferencias historicas en la vigencia de Derecho foral o especial y las relacionamos con la eficacia del sistema judicial hoy. Tras utilizar diversas tecnicas de estimacion, los resultados muestran un efecto fuerte y persistente de la eficacia judicial sobre la especializacion productiva a nivel provincial. Mas en concreto, las provincias en las que historicamente ha \u0000habido vigencia de Derecho foral o especial tienen una probabilidad significativamente mayor de que la eficacia judicial sea mas alta hoy. A su vez, una mayor eficacia judicial facilita la especializacion de la provincia en actividades manufactureras de alta productividad y una menor eficacia fomenta la especializacion en el sector servicios. El efecto de la eficacia judicial sobre la especializacion productiva parece robusto en distintas verificaciones y parece ser causal. Por ultimo, las tres jurisdicciones serian relevantes para explicar la especializacion, si bien parece tener un impacto mas pronunciado la jurisdiccion administrativa que la laboral o la civil.","PeriodicalId":330992,"journal":{"name":"New Institutional Economics eJournal","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121260640","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}

At the same time, China’s growing economic engagement has provoked much criticism. This paper is the first to study whether these activities change the attitudes of individuals in developing countries towards China at both the national and subnational level. Using repeated cross-sectional survey data from the Latinobarometro, we analyze whether and how growing amounts of exports, foreign aid, and foreign direct investment from China to Latin America affect opinions on China within 18 Latin American countries over the 2002-2013 period. We run instrumental-variables regressions by exploiting exogenous variation in the supply of Chinese exports, aid, and investment proxied by China’s market penetration of developing countries outside Latin America. In contrast to the widespread criticism, we do not find evidence that China’s growing economic activities in the respective countries deteriorate average attitudes towards China — neither at the national nor the provincial level. However, our results show that the young, educated, and economically privileged population develops more positive views of China. We interpret this as evidence that China’s economic engagement creates winners and losers.","PeriodicalId":330992,"journal":{"name":"New Institutional Economics eJournal","volume":"96 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129523951","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}
