Les dispositifs antidumping s'etant generalises a travers le monde au cours du XXeme siecle, ce livre s'interesse a la compatibilite de ces dispositifs avec les politiques de concurrence. En premier lieu, on etudie la relation existante entre le dumping et la concurrence afin d'etablir si les politiques de concurrence nationales peuvent se substituer aux politiques antidumping. On montre que la pratique de dumping n'est pas necessairement liee a un defaut de concurrence et que, meme lorsque c'est le cas, l'harmonisation des politiques de concurrence nationales est insuffisante pour permettre cette substitution. Cependant, on constate que l'existence et, a fortiori, la mise en oeuvre des dispositifs antidumping causent des problemes de...

The book carefully proposes an idea that an inter- disciplinary approach is probably the best and at least correct way to describe the dynamics of international economic integration. This way it was possible to link the theories of economic integration and competition with the physics (oscillation theory, wave dynamics) and biodynamics (predator-prey model and trophic functions). Dynamic properties of economic integration such as the trade creation and diversion effects, Pareto-reallocation of factors have been described under umbrella of this dynamic approach.

Institutional change of the 1990s in port sectors worldwide has been followed by the emergence of port investing/operating transnational corporations (TNC): firms operating container terminals across various regions, countries or continents. These fundamental changes coincide with a dramatic spatial shift with the Pacific Basin now host to the world’s largest container ports as well as the world’s leading port investors. A small number of powerful TNCs have become the leading agents of change. This book outlines an economic geography of these emerging transnational firms. It is the first comprehensive effort to conduct an analysis of globalisation forces in the container port industry at a firm-level. Given their rapid ascent to the...

The firm’s financing policy is not only influenced by trade-off between the tax advantages of debt financing, recapitalization and financial distress costs but also by exogenous financial developments and liberalization policies. In recent years after the recurrent financial crisis the leverage behaviour has attracted considerable interest as the high debt ration signals out a major cause of financial crisis. The book extends the theoretical study of optimal capital structure by introducing the financial development in the corporate sector in a deterministic capital structure theory. The firm's financing behaviour is described in a dynamic model with firm specific variables and the state of financial liberalization. The study's aim is...

In a free market economy we are aware of the fact that producer will deliver the goods we demand and that the price for this good will be at the level directed by the invisible hand of the market. So at the end the customer is happy to have the provided range of goods for the optimal market price and the producer is satisfied because he has produced the good which is in a demand, and the market price mechanism allowed him to sell that good on an optimal market price. But then comes the question who and why needs a fair trade system if the perfection exists in the form of a free trade? Fair Trade is considered to be a new way of trade and responsible to bring a new business decisions. It provokes a lot of questions like whether the...

Economic geography is the study of the location, distribution and spatial organization of economic activities across the Earth. The subject matter investigated is strongly influenced by the researcher's methodological approach. Neoclassical location theorists, following in the tradition of Alfred Weber, tend to focus on industrial location and use quantitative methods. Since the 1970s, two broad reactions against neoclassical approaches have significantly changed the discipline: Marxist political economy, growing out of the work of David Harvey; and the new economic geography which takes into account social, cultural, and institutional factors in the spatial economy. Economic geography is usually regarded as a subfield of the discipline...

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a regional group of fifteen West African countries, founded on May 28, 1975, with the signing of the Treaty of Lagos. Its mission is to promote economic integration. In 1976 Cape Verde joined ECOWAS, and in December 2000 Mauritania withdrew, having announced its intention to do so in December 1999. It was founded to achieve "collective self-sufficiency" for the member states by means of economic and monetary union creating a single large trading bloc. The very slow progress towards this aim meant that the treaty was revised in Cotonou on July 24, 1993, towards a looser collaboration. The ECOWAS Secretariat and the Fund for Cooperation, Compensation and Development are its two main...

Working on trade policy issues, this book provides empirical evidence for effectiveness of U.S. antidumping measures under Byrd Amendment. The Byrd Amendment permits US firms that petition successfully for antidumping duties to collect tariff revenues. In a competitive market where domestic and imported goods are imperfect substitutes, the payments are akin to a production subsidy and thus undermine the duty’s ability to raise price. Applying the theory to the “catfish war,” antidumping measures taken by the US against Vietnam are shown to have had a modest yet positive effect on the US price. The Byrd Amendment is justified to enhance tariff effects on the US domestic price and trade flows under the Bertrand competition. The...

The role of international regulatory standards within the current global environment has become of the most importance. Regulations are now becoming the emerging mode of global governance. This study focuses on information aimed at promoting international standards and good practices in policy domain areas that cut across national agendas. Transferring international standards-related information from international organizations comes with challenges, many of which result from differences in the characteristics of elements involved in the information transfer process. My principal proposition is that adoption of a specific international standard can be explained by individual-level attributes as well as by country-level attributes. The...

A few years after defects in the mortgage market became apparent to the public, in July 2007, the financial system lay in shatters. Four out of the five biggest US commercial banks, holding over half of all deposits, were in different stages of bankruptcy or on the edge of it and with negative equity value. The biggest investment banks disappeared or changed into bank holding companies, and numerous multinational corporations were eager for government support. These events provide enormous investment opportunities and especially in the most affected sector. The task of this thesis is to analyze the current situation, and identify market opportunities among financial institutions. It aims to serve as a practical guide to investment...

The international community has reported an increasing flow of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Countries attract FDI according to their potential based on location's competitive advantages. Within developing nations, those with rich natural resources used to be highly sought after; however, FDI flow rationale changed from seeking location inherent advantages to those reflecting developed capabilities and market opportunities. This can be seen in the emergence of countries such as Singapore and China. This book explores the above phenomenon and aim to answer the question of how can subsidiaries upgrade their roles to support their corporations and the local economy?

This book is comprised of two parts. The first uses data on Canada to determine the role asset price changes should play in the conduct of monetary policy within the inflation targeting and money growth targeting frameworks. The findings indicate that irrespective of the targeting framework, the policy rule that incorporates a response to asset price changes controls inflation better. Contrary to the conventional view, simulation experiments indicate that the money growth targeting policy rule is more efficient in controlling inflation than the inflation targeting policy rule. The second part presents theoretical and econometric analysis of the determinants of current account balances for Ghana. The results point to changes in world real...

Endogenous tariff formation has been the subject of theoretical studies that attempt to determine the fundamental economic variables that influence the structure of industry protection implemented by international trade policy makers. An empirical analysis of endogenous tariff formation under the framework of a regional trade agreement implemented by the Andean Community Group is offered in this book. Econometric models for the group’s common external tariff (CET) and for individual country tariff deviations with respect to the CET are estimated. The causal links among the variables are obtained by using the directed acyclical graphs (DAG) approach, which allows for a refined search for causal relationships. The approach is...

Since 1991, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay have moved toward the formation of a Southern Common Market (Mercosur) to allow for the free flow of goods, services, and production factors among the four countries. As a result, trade among member countries has increased fourfold, and economic relations have been reshaped in the region. In spite of Mercosur political and economical importance, little attention has been paid to the environmental consequences of its implementation. This book, therefore, provides much needed information about the nature and extent of implementing Mercosur on the use and conservation of natural resources in Argentina. The work examines the incorporation of the environmental dimension in the integration...
