We analyze whether the effects of the innovative firms’ policies are heterogeneous across several dimensions. Specifically, we examine how policy effects vary along with the venture certification types, firm size, and age. We assess the short- and long-term effects of the certification program on the performance of certified firms. We find that the program is likely to help innovative and young firms enhance their sales, employment and labor productivity over time. Moreover, the impact of the program is bigger for firms that are financed by venture capital, smaller in size (less than 20 employees) and younger (less than 5 years). In contrast, the support policies for innovative firms were somehow ineffective for firms that are research and development-intensive, medium sized (more than 100 and less than 300 employees) or older (more than 10 years)","PeriodicalId":35933,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"34 1","pages":"664 - 681"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10168737.2020.1839940","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49442735","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}

Our contribution is two-fold. Firstly, we analyse the impact of domestic agriculture support in the spirit of the Agreement on Agriculture. Secondly, we draw attention to the South–South versus South–North debate to the agriculture sector. We examine the impact of trade by source, split between trade within and outside Africa. We compute TFP growth for maize and rice using the Malmquist-data envelopment analysis approach. We then use the dynamic fixed effects approach to estimate panel auto-regressive-distributed-lag models. TFP computations show falling growth rates for both maize and rice. Evidence suggests that domestic agriculture support measures have positive output effects but negative productivity effects. We find that reducing trade-distorting agriculture support coupled with good governance significantly increases TFP growth. Accordingly, we appeal that domestic agriculture support is refocused from producer payments to infrastructure development. Furthermore, we document that South–South trade productivity gains match and can surpass South-North Trade. Hence we emphasize increasing intra-Africa agriculture trade.","PeriodicalId":35933,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"34 1","pages":"571 - 598"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10168737.2020.1836671","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46931333","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}

The following findings are established using a panel system GMM estimator. First, the unqualified influence of carbon emission on health outcomes is found to be positive and significant statistically. Specifically, it affects human life longevity negatively but positively increases infant deaths and healthcare spending. Second, institutional dysfunctions have an unconditional negative and significant effect on health outcomes. Unambiguously, low regulatory quality and government ineffectiveness weaken life expectancy and amplify the number of infant deaths, while poor corruption control unrestrictedly affects healthcare expenses. Third, the marginal impact of interactions between carbon emission and institutions on life longevity is negative but positive for infant mortality and health expenditure. Lastly, the corresponding net effects of the interaction between environmental pollutants and institutions are equally negative on life expectancy while positive on infant mortality and health expenditure. It means that institutions do not play a supportive role in ameliorating the negative effect of environmental degradation on health outcomes. Thus, strengthening regulatory control, government effectiveness and control of corruption hold the impetus to ensuring environmental balance and improving healthy living and other health-related outcomes.","PeriodicalId":35933,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"34 1","pages":"634 - 663"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10168737.2020.1824007","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46551519","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}

Using 6350 first-trial rulings for criminal cases in South Korea for the period before the adoption of sentencing guidelines (2003–2011) and the period after (2011–2016), we estimate the ordered probit model, classifying punishment into four categories of severity. According to our estimates, punishment for most crimes becomes lighter after the adoption of sentencing guidelines. Among economic crimes, embezzlement and theft receive less severe punishment, while punishment for fraud has strengthened. Of non-economic crimes, perjury and false accusation receive lighter punishment, which would hardly improve the low trust level in South Korean society. Punishment for the obstruction of justice has also weakened, reflecting growing awareness of individual rights among citizens. Judges who prefer severe punishment before the adoption of sentencing guideline maintain their stringent sentences, while those who prefer light punishment lower sentences with confidence due to the sentencing guideline. We call this phenomenon judge’s upward-risk aversion not to exceed the guideline in sentencing.","PeriodicalId":35933,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"34 1","pages":"599 - 612"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10168737.2020.1818273","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43981728","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}

Relying on panel data obtained from the World Bank’s world development and governance indicators, from 1996 to 2017, the study employs the autoregressive distributed lag technique in investigating the relationship. The empirical findings depict that foreign aid exerts a neutral effect on economic growth; the effect turns negative when the institutional variable is incorporated into the analysis. Again, the interaction effect of foreign aid and institution on economic growth is such that it reduces the negative effect of foreign aid on economic growth. The other factors of growth included are trade openness and government size, whose effects are positive and largely negative on the growth of the West African region, respectively. A significant policy implication from these findings is that the efforts of governments of the region should be directed towards building formidable economic, social and political institutions. This would not only reduce the negative impact of aid on growth but would also promote the competitiveness of the countries for private domestic and foreign capital; thus, reducing reliance on foreign aid.","PeriodicalId":35933,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL ECONOMIC JOURNAL","volume":"34 1","pages":"534 - 552"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2020-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10168737.2020.1780292","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41980201","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}
