This paper documents the performance differences between Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries (WOS) and Joint Ventures (JV) in electrical and electronics industry in Thailand for the period of 2000 to 2004. Unlike other studies, we analyse the performance differences using DuPont analysis. The impact of capital structure on the profitability of WOS and JV is further studied in this paper. We find that WOS have significantly higher sales growth, have more efficient asset management and carry higher debt ratios. On the other hand, JV are more efficient in cost control and thus have better performance in term of ROS. Consistent with managerial overinvestment agency theory, debt ratio is positive and highly significantly related to ROE. In addition, better asset management and higher leverage of WOS l...

This paper's objective is to study the issue of impact mechanism of birth rate between Liaoning province and China integrating unit root test, cointegrating test, vector error correction model (VECM), generalized impulse response function and variance decomposition. After selecting the data of birth rate, infant mortality rate and real GDP per capita of Liaoning province and China, we've found that: (1) The log series of birth rate, infant mortality and real GDP per capita are integrated of order one; (2) Long-term co-integration relationships exist among these three series, and the impacts of infant mortality rate and GDP per capita on birth rate are more significant in Liaoning province; (3) According to VECM, the adjustment of birth rate in Liaoning province is 0.09067971446 while it...

Western countries, which face this dilemma, have a tradition of providing some form of health and elder care, as part of a social security safety net, while most people on the planet have had access to much less due to meagre resources. To have enough land, food, jobs, housing, environmental resilience and other building block to turn growth trends around and serve the population that exists, we need changes as deep as the kinds of initiatives scientists talk about in relations to climate change.
