Two closely related numerical general equilibrium models of world trade are used to analyze the potential consequences of US–China bilateral retaliation on trade flows and welfare. One is a conventional Armington trade model with five regions, the US, China, EU, Japan and the Rest of the...

Transshipments within a supply chain can be difficult to implement as the costs and benefits are often incurred by different parties. This difficulty becomes even more problematic when the costs and benefits are not completely known by all parties. The primary purpose of this paper is to...

In this paper, we carried out network analysis for typical time series, such as periodic signals, chaotic maps, Gaussian white noise, and fractal Brownian motions. By reconstructing the phase space for a given time series, we can generate a network under the constraint of fixed nearest...

In this paper, we study the strong law of large numbers and the Shannon–McMillan theorem for nonhomogeneous Markov chains indexed by a Cayley tree. This article generalizes the relative results of level nonhomogeneous Markov chains indexed by a Cayley tree.

This paper presents both analytics and numerical simulation results relevant to proposals for carbon motivated regional trade agreements summarized in Dong and Whalley (2010). Unlike traditional regional trade agreements, by lowing tariffs on participant's low carbon emission goods and setting...

Carbon taxes have largely been discussed as individual country measures (even if taken simultaneously) aimed to reduce carbon emissions, slow global warning, and internalizing the externalities associated with carbon generating activities, such as power generation. There has however been little...

This paper attempts to shed light on the over-investment debate by investigating listed firms in China. Firms with a higher level of fixed asset holding and overhead expenses, and covered by preferential tax policies in China are found to be associated with lower risk-adjusted performance. In...

<heading id="h1" level="1" format="display" implicit="no">Abstract</heading> This paper discusses both the potential contribution that trade policy initiatives can make towards the achievement of significant global carbon emissions reduction and the potential impacts of proposals now circulating for carbon reduction motivated geographical trade arrangements,...

In this paper, we empirically examine the determinants of capital structure in China, using 1,006,395 firm-year observations spanning 1998-2007. Consistent with the general findings in developed markets, we find that the long-term debt ratio is positively related to firm size and asset...
