Previous studies also show the importance of economic freedom in boosting economic development, whereas the Kuznets curve theory indicates the inverted U-shaped relationship between economic development and income inequality. Thus, economic development may play an important role in moderating the nexus of economic freedom and income inequality. This study throws light on the effects of economic freedom, economic development, and their interaction on income inequality in 35 Asian economies during 2000–2018 from the Kuznets curve’s perspective. Our empirical results demonstrate that initially economic freedom increases income inequality, then until a threshold of economic development, economic freedom reduces income inequality. In addition, the inverted U-shaped Kuznets curve of economic development and income inequality is confirmed in the context of the Asian continent. The robustness of our results is ensured with different proxies of economic freedom and various estimators.</p>","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138507131","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}

OECD and Asia Productivity Organisation data show that in the last few decades there has been a rapid expansion of GVCs in the majority of the Asian economies. We employ the panel Auto-regressive Distributed Lag method to empirically evaluate the impact of GVCs participation on ‘total factor productivity growth’ and ‘labor productivity growth’. The empirical results point to the significant effect of GVCs on domestic productivity growth in the long run in the selected Asian economies, while the effect on labor productivity growth is larger than that on total factor productivity growth. However, GVCs does not affect it in the short-run. If excluded the six high-income economies and only focused on the middle-income countries, we find forward GVCs promotes domestic productivity in long run, while the backward GVCs does not.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"27 1","pages":"495 - 514"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45680560","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}

Based on 1847 cross-border M&A deals made by Chinese firms in 130 countries and regions over the period of 2002 − 2018, we find that Chinese acquirers are less likely to conduct cross-border M&A deals when uncertainty is high in the target country. The results are robust to alternative samples and measures of uncertainty. Furthermore, we find that uncertainty has a dynamic impact on China’s cross-border M&As. Variations in the economic environment close to the time of an announcement have a greater influence on affecting the final occurrence of M&A transactions than those in a more distant period. Lastly, market conditions are important in shaping the effects of uncertainty on M&As. The negative effects of uncertainty are larger in countries with weaker financial markets and government regulation and lower levels of openness.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"27 1","pages":"515 - 533"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46252368","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}

Despite a growing literature, existing findings have no consensus. To investigate the relationship between health aid and infant mortality, this paper applies polynomial inverse lag (PIL) framework to panel data from 131 countries over the period 2002–2019, and focuses on the instant and long-term impacts of health aid on infant mortality. The results indicate that health aid can effectively reduce infant mortality and it has a greatest effect in the current year. More specifically, a 1% rise in health aid causes a 1.53% drop in infant mortality instantly, though the impact tails off over time. The results maintain robustness across specifications. Heterogeneity test shows that health aid’s benign impact is more pronounced in deep poverty countries. Finally, it is found that aid raises public health expenditure of recipient countries, leading to a better health care system and a lower infant mortality.","PeriodicalId":46618,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Asia Pacific Economy","volume":"27 1","pages":"534 - 550"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44053833","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}
