We propose a general mixture regression model to discriminate the collusion period from the competitive period. We apply our method to Korean CD market data from 1 January 2009 to 23 May 2019 and forecast the probability of collusion for each day. We find that only a small portion—163 days out of 2579 days—of the whole sample is discriminated as a possible collusion. We also find that the banks did not issue the CD on almost all dates discriminated as colluded in our empirical results.

We identify the transmission channels through which these disasters affect economic growth by investigating the medium-term relationships among disasters, capital accumulation, human capital accumulation and total factor productivity. The interprovincial empirical analysis demonstrates that the effects differ across the economic regions. Thus, disasters affect economic growth through different channels but mainly through capital stock.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Sri Lanka was an outlier among developing countries in that it had high human development indicators for a low-income country. Sri Lanka cannot make the same claims today. Many developing countries have surpassed Sri Lanka. Insufficient economic growth and perpetual budget deficits have resulted in an unsustainable build-up of public debt. A segmented trend analysis of the debt-to-GDP ratio shows that social welfare programs are not the main drivers of unsustainable debt trends at present. It is debt servicing that perpetuates the debt burden. In fact, the fiscal constraints of the country have taken a heavy toll on the quality of the social programs. The debt burden resulting from an aging population, although largely offset at present by the declining proportion of young people in the population, is bound to increase further. Interestingly, apart from higher GDP growth, a quality-adjusted road network seems to contribute to lowering the debt burden through indirect growth effects. By implication, essential infrastructure development increases the debt burden in the short run but reduces the debt burden in the long run when the growth effects start to kick in.</p>","PeriodicalId":45838,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Journal","volume":"35 4","pages":"363-389"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42492521","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}

In contrast to the traditional viewpoint that diversified firms are more prone to tax avoidance, the present study concludes that the tax avoidance level of diversified firms is lower than that of specialized operation firms. Further research also shows that the nature of the property rights and supervision faced by firms can affect the conclusion drawn from the baseline analysis. Our findings reflect that diversified state-owned enterprises have lower tax avoidance levels than diversified non-state-owned enterprises, and the impacts of internal and external supervision on tax avoidance are different. A possible explanation for the reduced tax avoidance with diversification is that diversification weakens internal control and reduces a firm's ownership concentration.</p>","PeriodicalId":45838,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"3-21"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44443590","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}
