Which types of intangible investments should be encouraged? What are the effects of intangible investments on innovation performance? Intangible assets have long been recognized as important sources of firms' innovation and long-term growth. In a departure from the approach of traditional studies on intangible investments that mainly focus on the R&D input, in this study we explore the performance implications of non-R&D investments. Using uniquely compiled firm-level panel data of Taiwanese manufacturing firms for the years 2001, 2006 and 2011, we find that intangible investments positively contribute to firms' production and innovation performance. Among three categories of intangible investments, the empirical results show that economic competency contributes the most to the growth in the value of firms' output, and innovative property is the main driver facilitating the development of product innovation. Policy and managerial implications are also developed and investigated.","PeriodicalId":45838,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47888492","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}

A translog cost function was used to estimate bank cost efficiency, and a multivariate regression model was used to investigate the determinants of bank cost inefficiency. On average, the cost efficiency of banks in Sri Lanka during the study period was relatively high. Sri Lankan banks performed more efficiently during the second political regime (2001–2004), which had more liberal political and economic policies to promote the private sector compared with other regimes. During this period, the government was involved in peace talks, leading to a ceasefire agreement that temporarily stopped the violence. Furthermore, the positive coefficients for the dummy variables representing the third and fourth political regimes showed that more restrictive economic policies can increase bank cost inefficiencies. The results also indicate that immediately following the civil war, Sri Lankan banks recorded a decline in cost efficiency. Cost inefficiency was positively associated with banks' risk aversion, credit risk, market share, interest rate risk and increase in GDP and negatively associated with non-earning assets, liquidity, bank size and concentration.","PeriodicalId":45838,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47476994","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}

Specifically, this research investigates whether a mother is more likely to be in full-time employment if she returns to work within 1 year of childbirth (i.e. without using her allowable parental leave to the full). We estimate recursive bivariate probit models for a mother's early return to work and her subsequent employment status using July births as an instrument. Our approach is unique in that we shed light on the relationship between the timing of a birth (birth month) and the timing of a mother's return to work after childbirth. The birth month affects the cut-off dates for admission into a licensed childcare facility in Japan, which, in turn, affects the timing of a mother's return to work. Our empirical evidence reveals that a mother's early return to work after her first birth has a positive causal effect on the likelihood of her being in full-time employment in the long term (10 and 12 years after childbirth). We do not find any causal effect of an early return to work on working full time in the short term (3 years after childbirth).","PeriodicalId":45838,"journal":{"name":"Asian Economic Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1111/asej.12246","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42733891","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
