This paper examines lead-lag relationships and the dynamic linkages among cross-border house prices in four Asia countries and cities, including Taiwan, Mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore. We employ the Johansen (1988) cointegration technique, Toda and Yamamotoís (1995) Granger causality...

Being different from past research of regional housing prices, this paper employs smooth transition regression model, derived in Teräsvirta (1998), to investigate ripple effects among four regional house prices in Taiwan. The aim of this paper is to test whether a smooth transition regression...

This paper constructs a two-stage sequential game model to investigate the spillover effect of inward FDI on the efficiency improvement of domestic firms across different ownership types in host countries. Our model shows that given the optimal spillover policy made by foreign firms, the impact...

This paper considers the non-monotonic effect of the partial privatization campaign on the capital allocation distortion of large SOEs in China by using the Chinese firm-level panel data. We construct a theoretical model to show that the rise in the degree of partial privatization has the...

This paper proposes a new theory so called bilateral rent-seeking to explain the dramatic growth of foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow in China in the past several decades. We construct a Nash bargaining model to illustrate the relevance of how the reciprocal relationship between the local...

This research constructs a simple dynamic model to illustrate the micro-mechanism of industrial upgrading along the global value chains. Our model demonstrates the following results. (1) Firms in the value chains manage to upgrade from downstream to upstream stages by acquiring higher...

This paper constructs a theoretical model to illustrate the inherent dynamics between the trade imbalance and the comparative advantage of factor endowment structure under a two-country setting (South vs North). Our model shows that the shift of comparative advantage of factor endowment...

This paper constructs a dynamic model to explore the intertwined dynamics of the rent-seeking activities that are required to compensate losers in a reform and the adoption of different types of structural reforms in transitional economies. By disaggregating the reforming type into structural...

This research expands the cash-cash flow sensitivity model and examines the effect and mechanism of SCF on alleviating the financial constraints of 740 firms listed in the SME Boards and Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) of Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges from 2010 to 2017. The results show...

Recent research shows that time-varying volatility plays a crucial role in nonlinear modeling. Contributing to this literature, we suggest a DSGE-GARCH approach that allows for straightforward computation of DSGE models with time-varying volatility, where the volatility component is formulated...
