This study examines how Japanese firms treat deterrent effects of geographic distance, cultural distance, and political hazards and whether the deterrent effects may vary with firm size, firm age, and ownership solution. Results using data on Japanese firms' outbound mergers and acquisitions (M&A) from 2010 to 2019 reveal that (1) only the deterrent effect of geographic distance is absolute. (2) Larger firms with larger slack resources in their home country are less concerned about geographic distances and political hazards. (3) Older firms, exposed to typical practices and norms for a long time, are less adaptable to cultural distances. (4) The deterrent effect of geographic distance is weaker for complete control mode on the one hand, on the other hand, the moderating effect of complete control mode on political hazards hinges on firm size and age due to trade-offs between integration benefits and resource/experience constraints.","PeriodicalId":44776,"journal":{"name":"Asian-Pacific Economic Literature","volume":"39 1","pages":"3-33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The over-education wage penalty across the wage distribution: a case study of STEM PhD holders in South Korea","authors":"Kihong Park","doi":"10.1111/apel.12425","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/apel.12425","url":null,"abstract":"To date the analysis on the wage penalty faced by over-educated doctorate holders is surprisingly scarce. Being focused on college graduates, the existing literature has primarily tended to adopt a standard ordinary least squares regression technique that allows measuring the impact of over-education on the conditional mean of the wage distribution. This paper aims to fill this gap, not only by assessing the extent to which the prevalence of over-educated doctorate holders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields in South Korea is distributed across the wage distribution, but also by examining the extent to which their wage penalty relative to what they could have earned in a job corresponding to their level of education may have varied across the wage distribution. The main findings reveal that there is no evidence to support the notion that over-education and ability are inversely related among STEM doctorate holders in Korea. Based on the empirical evidence, this article suggests that it is an oversimplification to characterise both the incidence and the wage effects of over-education as merely reflecting lower-ability levels, at least in the Korean context.","PeriodicalId":44776,"journal":{"name":"Asian-Pacific Economic Literature","volume":"39 1","pages":"49-64"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143905216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"What drives the foreign investment in Nepal? Investors' perception analysis","authors":"Pujan Adhikari, Rohan Byanjankar, Surya Subba, Siddha Raj Bhatta, Prayush Man Shrestha","doi":"10.1111/apel.12421","DOIUrl":"10.1111/apel.12421","url":null,"abstract":"The study aims to identify the motives of foreign direct investment in Nepal and analyse the perceived strengths and weaknesses of investment climate. Additionally, it examines the experience of foreign investors in Nepal in terms of further investment plans and net promoter scores attributed to the host country. The study relies on primary data collected from the survey of 65 sampled industries with foreign direct investment, using structured questionnaires. Descriptive analysis has been used to assess the key factors motivating foreign investors. The findings reveal that labour cost, repatriation facility, industrial security, low operating costs, access to neighbouring market/trade openness, and investment and communal hospitality stand out as major motivating factors, while political instability, macroeconomic instability, availability of machinery and equipment, road access, and bureaucracy are the major precluding factors. The policy reforms in Nepal have notably shaped investors' perceptions. Acts like the Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Act, 1992, and subsequent amendments such as the Foreign Investment and Loan Management, 2021, have significantly motivated investors by improving repatriation facilities and ease of VISA and work permit accessibility. Despite the efforts, land facilitation for foreign investors has been perceived as a weakness. The net promoter score for Nepal is 12 on a scale from −100 to +100, which is positive, albeit low, indicating a substantial gap to attain full promoters and needs to be improved by further enhancing the investment climate.","PeriodicalId":44776,"journal":{"name":"Asian-Pacific Economic Literature","volume":"38 2","pages":"102-122"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141503136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
