Title: Distributional effects of foreign direct investment on poverty: the case of Vietnam
Abstract:
In this paper, we examine the impacts of foreign direct investment (FDI) on poverty reduction in Vietnam. The influences of FDI on the poor can be categorised into two types - growth-enhancing effects and distributional effects. This empirical study analyses the two effects through a sub-national data of 63 provinces and three regions of Vietnam from 2005 to 2015, using Driscoll-Kraay regression and the Sobel-Goodman mediation bootstrapping test. We measure the role of FDI as a synthetic contribution of FDI capital inflow, FDI productivity, and FDI labour creation. Results of this analysis suggest that FDI could reduce poverty throughout these regions of Vietnam since it stimulates productivity and job creation with foreign enterprises. Government bodies, therefore, need to prioritise the regulation of FDI enterprises over calling for FDI inflow at both the national and provincial levels. Additionally, differences in FDI distributions exist between Northern, Central, and Southern Vietnam.

Title: Formulating post placement empowerment of Indonesian migrant workers policy: What are the roles of stakeholders?
Abstract:
This study aims to identify the relationships, power, and influence among stakeholders and analyse their role in the post placement empowerment of Indonesian migrant workers. This study further intends to analyse the existence of convergence and divergence between stakeholders. The sequential explanatory mixed method was employed, with Matrix of Alliance and Mactors used as the tools for analysis, with 13 stakeholders and 8 objectives. The findings of this research revealed that the actor with the most influential and low-reliance role is academics. Four objectives were positively accepted by all stakeholders, while the remaining four entailed ambiguous acceptance; both positive and negative responses were received. The analysis of convergence and divergence demonstrates that stakeholders tend to cluster according to similarity of interests. The central implication of this study is that education may serve as the driver that is acceptable to all parties, and the role of education should be considered during the formulation of empowerment formulas.

Title: Impediments to globalisation and financing of small exporting firms: evidence from Southwest Louisiana
Abstract:
The primary purpose of this study is to explore the problems and prospects of internationalisation and financing of small firms using those domiciled in Southwest Louisiana as an example. The data on firm characteristics, extents and sources of local financing and export willingness are collected from the primary source by administering a questionnaire. The survey findings conclude that the small firms in the southwestern region of Louisiana have enormous export potentials. The impeding factors include paucity of export awareness among small firms, and information gap including misinformation about the perceived overall risk, associated with exporting. The fears of international business risks among the small firms seem exaggerated. The export impediments can be overcome by active involvements of the state and local chambers of commerce, Small Business Administration units and the local banks.

Title: The role of entrepreneurial orientation in intervening the relationship between social media usage and performance enhancement of exporter SMEs in Indonesia
Abstract:
The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) provides a mediation effect on the relationship between the use of social media and both financial and non financial performance enhancement of exporter SMEs in Indonesia. The EO refers to the three dimensions initiated by Miller (1983), namely Innovation, risk-taking, and pro-activeness. While the use of social media by SMEs related to marketing support, customer relations and information accessibility (Parveen et al., 2016). A quantitative approach is used for 75 exporter SMEs located in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Data is collected through direct interview by 8 surveyors. The findings showed that only innovativeness provides mediation effect on the relationship between social media usage and exporter SMEs performance, both financially and non-financially. The implications of these findings indicate that by creative and innovative design, Indonesian SME products have been accepted and capable to compete in the international market.

Title: Improving service excellence on passenger ships in Indonesia
Abstract:
This study aims to 1) analyse ship passengers' profiles and their perceptions of service excellence from sea transportation services; 2) analyse the efficiency of passenger ship routes; and 3) measure willingness to accept (WTA) of ship passengers. This research uses sequential mixed methods with ATLAS.ti, data envelopment analysis (DEA) and WTA as the analytical instruments. The results show that the majority of ship passengers were from low economic groups, who chose sea transportation for their convenience and facilities. DEA calculations show that six ship routes were efficient whereas the other 14 routes were inefficient. WTA of multimodal users reached 14.3%. It can be concluded that the improvement of service excellence for ship passengers is highly dependent on passenger profiles, ship service and facilities, ship efficiency and affordable ticket prices.

Title: System advantage strategy framework: a literature review
Abstract:
In the ever-changing, complex, real world, strategy has its own limitation, namely strategy as a wicked problem. Therefore the aim of this manuscript is to provide a literature review as a basis of generic systemic strategy to obtain the highest advantage and then apply it in various fields. The methodology would be investigating the properties of all strategy schools from the point of view of system principles. We found out how strategy have failed by looking at their gaps. Furthermore, findings show the significant gaps between all strategy school of thoughts with properties of system school of thoughts. This would constitute the explanation why available strategy could not cope with the recent complexity and non-linearity. Then there is novelty in the creation of framework fusion between strategy characteristics with problem mapping, as a diagnostic tool, as well a suitable strategy to deal with. This then is called strategy advantage framework.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to investigate how the strategy carried out by the palung salt businessmen to penetrate the global markets. The determination analysed using the grounded theory method based on the in-depth interview, focus group discussion (FGD), observation, and laboratory examination. Palung salt as a unique and distinctive Balinese product which has a particular taste, quality, and hygiene characteristics. Such characteristics represent the initial capital to penetrate the global markets, occupying several strategies such as improving business networks, product standardisation, and market networking. Besides, product standardisation has been created using laboratory tests, product variants, packaging, labelling, and application for the Geographical Indication. The market network tends to show patronage patterns thereby potentially establishing a dependence on specific market segmentation as reflected in several market networks. In this economic activity context, salt business is embeddedness in the social life of Balinese society and become a determinant market strategy success.

Title: Predicting financial distress probability of Indonesian plantation and mining firms
Abstract:
We aim to predict financial distress probability of Indonesian firms by employing recent established model and incorporating corporate governance measurements. We examine plantation and mining industry because the growth of these industries has been declining due to the diminishing of commodities price which could provide a case of industries with high financial distress probability. Our findings show that only stock price, stock returns volatility and net income could predict financial distress within one year but not within three year model. We also find that by incorporating the corporate governance measurements, the model goodness-of-fit could be improved. However, we do not find that our corporate governance measures could be used as accurate predictors. Finally, the model shows to be able to predict financial distress of Indonesian plantation and mining firms for the year 2016 with accuracy of 76.920% using cut-off percentage of 0.999%.

Title: Examining agricultural export returns from Midwestern states
Abstract:
Most job losses in the United States (US) prior to and after the great recession were manufacturing related jobs as domestic producers decided to shift production to offshore locations. This also included export-oriented jobs. Almost 6% of total US exports comprise agricultural products. We therefore, investigate if agricultural exports increase median household income and decreased unemployment rate using a sophisticated simultaneous equation model. The results show that for Midwestern states an increase in animal and plant exports increased the median household income albeit minimally for majority of the states. We also empirically verify that an increase in the unemployment rate results in a decrease in median household income.

Title: Empirical analysis of export performance and economic growth: the case of Macedonia
Abstract:
The main aim of the paper is to investigate the export structure of Macedonian economy at product level and to analyse the impact of export sophistication on economic growth. The results show that Macedonian export has recorded a significant positive trend in the last two decades, but the export structure is still highly concentrated (the top 10 products have nearly half of the total country's export) and it is composed from products with relatively low complexity level (garments, basic metals, agricultural products). Additionally, the estimated results based on vector autoregression (VAR) model and Granger causality test demonstrate positive and statistically significant causal relationship between export sophistication and economic growth for the period 1995-2017. Hence, policy makers should design a policy that will initiate the process of export diversification and structural transformation by moving from products with lower added value to products with high complexity in order to accelerate the growth rate.

Title: One belt one road: a new aspect on income convergence
Abstract:
In light of the one belt one road (OBOR) initiation, this study aims to examine the presence of income convergence in selected Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries and China using spatial econometric methods. The result shows evidence of income convergence among the countries and implies that the ASEAN economy would be ameliorated if the trade relationship with China is further enhanced through implementation of the OBOR initiative. Thereafter, using bilateral trade as a weighting, the estimation affirms that the selected countries and China will enjoy income convergence. Thus, this result forecasts that the OBOR implementation would bring benefits to ASEAN countries and China.

Title: Social capital and the cyclicality of government expenditure
Abstract:
Fiscal policy in developing countries follows predominantly the business cycle. By aggravating economic contractions, procyclicality has adverse effects on the prospects for countries and their international trading partners. Recent work identified as a leading cause for procyclicality institutional shortcomings. This paper sets out to examine whether fiscal cyclicality is determined by social capital, which in many ways shapes and constrains the institutional environment. The study confirms a causal and robust negative relationship between social capital and procyclicality, whereby the results indicate that this relationship partially runs through the adoption of fiscal rules and the extent of corruption.

Title: The impact of bonus schemes and Machiavellianism in earnings management intentions
Abstract:
This study investigates the association of bonus schemes and Machiavellianism upon managers' intentions for earnings management. The research is crucially important because earnings management practices can mislead the users of financial statements in their decision-making processes. The research is an experimental research, with a 2 × 2 design between subjects. The participants in this research are 180 undergraduate students from the Accounting Department at UAJY. The result of this research is that a bonus scheme and Machiavellianism have an effect upon a manager's intention to manage earnings. This result can stand as the basis for regulators to make regulations in the capital market.

Title: Modelling impact of economic and demographic factors on personal saving rate in the euro area
Abstract:
The decision of economic subjects whether to consume or save is determined by different economic, monetary, and demographic factors. The paper focuses upon personal saving rate of the whole euro area taking into account economic and demographic aspects. The modelling uses quarterly data within 2005 Q1-2017 Q2. The results indicate a negative relation between savings and dependency ratio of elderly suggesting savings for retirement. Government spending pushes savings up, inflation causes dissaving. Implications are for governing bodies directing measures for investment and consumption, for pension systems when managing sustainability of pension funds due to population ageing and for households when deciding about savings or consumption.

Title: Utilisation analysis and increasing strategy: e-commerce use of SMEs in Bandung, Indonesia
Abstract:
Electronic commerce or e-commerce is an important factor in developing domestic and international scale businesses. It also increases the efficiency of trade and integrates developing countries into the global economy. Although generally receptive, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Bandung have low usage of technology for their operations. By applying descriptive methodology, this study aims to describe e-commerce utilisation and strategies for increasing e-commerce use of SMEs in Bandung. Data were collected from 2300 SMEs via survey. Results indicate that, although not all SMEs use the internet, the firms understood the benefits of using e-commerce and were willing to adopt it in their business activities. SMEs who use the internet mostly do not use websites and marketplaces for their business activities. Moreover, most SMEs are still hesitant about the security of doing business via the internet and still encounter difficulties in using online business applications.

Title: Profit shifting behaviour between sisters companies: the case of Czech Republic
Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to research the profit shifting behaviour within the same multinational group of companies. We investigate the sensitivity of pre-tax profit to tax differences between Czech subsidiaries and their sister companies placed in other European Union countries. The profit shifting behaviour is indirectly estimated by adopting Hines-Rice method. The objective of this research is to determine whether the reported pre-tax income is sensitive to the corporate income tax (CIT) differences. We expect an inversely related reaction of profit before taxation to tax differential. The degree of sensitivity should depend on the particular tax advantageous position of the Czech Republic relative to the other EU countries high corporate tax rates.

Title: The role of tax risk management in international tax avoidance practices: evidence from Indonesia and Malaysia
Abstract:
The aims of this research are to analyse the effect of international tax practices on tax avoidance, and the moderating effect of tax risk management. The results of the research show that international tax practices are a form of international tax avoidance in order to lower tax liabilities. The results also show that tax risk management can weaken the positive effect of international tax practices on tax avoidance, especially in the practice of thin capitalisation and multinationality. The research results contribute by proving that tax risk management is one of the controls used by multinational corporations in tax avoidance.

Title: Classification of elderly worker before super-aged society on cognition of current job
Abstract:
This study aims to find the implications the current elderly workers have for future labour market and employment to increase how long the elderly workers can stay in the labour force. The result showed most elderly workers want to remain in the labour market, regardless of the quality of or perception about current job. Implications have been suggested to help elderly workers to stay in the labour force in the super-aged society. It is expected this study will be able to offer insights for neighbouring countries bracing for an aged or super-aged society from the example of South Korea.
