    Abstract: Spatial designing of economic development with enhancing connectivity has become essential to pursue both sustained growth and the narrowing of development gaps. The issue of agglomeration and dispersion in China and its neighboring countries is an example of requiring such an approach. This paper introduces the Geographical Simulation Model (GSM) based on the new economic geography setting and presents illustrative simulations on Asian Highway No. 3 and Kyaukpyu deep sea port development in order to analyze the economic implication of developing hard and soft infrastructure as well as lowering national border barriers for inclusive growth at the sub-national level.

    Abstract: This paper analyzes the impact of two massive shocks, the 2008-2009 Global Financial Crisis and the 2011 East Japan Earthquake, on Japanese exports, focusing on the characteristics of domestic/international production networks in machinery industries. Using monthly data of Japanese bilateral exports at the most disaggregated level, we decompose the fall and recovery of Japanese exports into intensive and extensive margins and also examine the exits and re-entries by applying logit estimation and survival analysis. Episodes of both shocks confirm the stability and robustness of production networks and the enhancing link with East Asia. On the other hand, differences between two shocks seem to generate differential impacts on corporate behavior.

    Abstract: El presente artículo muestra como el gobierno de Colombia se ha enfocado recientemente en aproximarse a las naciones asiáticas debido a su potencial de rápido crecimiento en materia de comercio, inversión y ciencia y tecnología. A través de la información adquirida por entrevistas con embajadores asiáticos en Colombia se resalta particularmente a La República de Indonesia, como un socio potencial de negocios para el país, por sus más de 20 años de relaciones diplomáticas, y por ser un puente hacia las demás economías asiáticas pertenecientes al grupo de los civets, al Foro de Cooperación Económica Asia-Pacífico, a La Asociación de Naciones del Sudeste Asiático y al Grupo de los Veinte. Así, el objetivo de la presente reflexión es profundizar en los beneficios para el exportador colombiano de establecer negociaciones con este país en materia de alianzas productivas, ampliación de mercados, y relaciones comerciales.

    Abstract: This paper examines the importance of the domestic R&D stock and foreign knowledge spillovers on total factor productivity for six Asian miracle economies over the period from 1955 to 2006. The productivity effects of international knowledge spillovers through the following channels are considered: imports, exports, inward foreign direct investment, patents, geographical proximity and no specific channel. The estimates show that knowledge has been transmitted through all the channels considered but that the import channel and the no-weighting channel have probably been the most important ones for the Asian miracle economies.

    Abstract: The underlying nature of forecast optimization makes the rational expectations hypothesis (REH) a framework that is theoretically consistent with the expectations formation produced by economic agents under well-defined assumptions of unbiased forecasts and efficient utilization of available information. Most of the recent literature on REH testing has favored a direct procedure based on survey data to validate the theoretical soundness of REH. However, the ability of survey materials to reflect the economic agent’s true expectations remains unconvincing, as previous empirical studies on survey-based expectations have offered mixed evidence of forecast rationality. The present study involved an attempt to evaluate the forecast rationality of survey materials from the Malaysian perspective, as empirical evidence from the view of a developing nation is clearly limited. An expectational series on gross revenue and capital expenditure, spanning 1978 through 2007, was subjected to tests of unbiasedness, non-serial correlation, and efficiency to observe whether the business operational forecasts contributed by the distributive trade sector in Malaysia can be accepted as rational forecasts of the actual realized values. We found that both operational variables are being irrationally constructed, suggesting that forecasters in the distributive trade sector are not rational when they formulate business expectations. Thus, business firms in the examined sector are encouraged to incorporate more relevant information into their business operational forecasts to facilitate more accurate and realistic business forecasting.

    Abstract: The East Asian countries are seriously discussing the consolidation of ASEAN+1 FTAs2 to develop so-called ASEAN++ FTA or RCEP3. The detailed analysis of services chapters in the existing ASEAN+1 FTAs gives insights to services trade liberalization in this new trade agreement. In order for ASEAN and its FTA partners to gain substantial new commitments that are genuinely gplush to the existing trade pacts, both WTO GATS and ASEAN+1 FTAs, ASEAN++ countries should aim at an ambitious level of liberalization much higher than the AFAS package 5. Also, the detailed analysis suggests a policy option of narrowing the types of services trade limitations, i.e., focusing on three types of limitations and hence improving transparency. Furthermore, we advocate for the needs of prioritizing production-related services sectors in the negotiation. Beyond ASEAN++ FTA, we briefly explain the critical roles of domestic regulatory reform.

    Abstract: This paper develops a long-run growth model for a major oil exporting economy and derives conditions under which oil revenues are likely to have a lasting impact. This approach contrasts with the standard literature on the "Dutch disease" and the "resource curse", which primarily focuses on short-run implications of a temporary resource discovery. Under certain regularity conditions and assuming a Cobb-Douglas production function, it is shown that (log) oil exports enter the long-run output equation with a coefficient equal to the share of capital (a). The long-run theory is tested using quarterly data on nine major oil economies, six of which are current members of OPEC (Iran, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela), plus Indonesia which is a former member, and Mexico and Norway, which are members of the OECD. Overall, the test results support the long-run theory. The existence of long-run relations between real output, foreign output and real oil income is established for six of the nine economies considered. The exceptions, Mexico and Norway, do not possess sufficient oil reserves for oil income to have lasting impacts on their economies. At their current production rates, the proven oil reserves of Mexico and Norway are expected to last 9 and 10 years respectively, as compared to reserve-production ratios of OPEC members, which lie in the range of 45 to 125 years. For Indonesia, whose share of oil income in GDP has been declining steadily over the past three decades, the theory suggests that the e¤ect of oil income on the economy?s steady state growth rate will vanish eventually, and this is indeed con?rmed by the results.

    Abstract: Since economics studies on individual preferences, it is a branch of science based on human beings. Most of the economy and finance theories are based on the idea that, an individual uses all of the available information rationally and takes into consideration in a right manner while making a decision. In recent years, some opinions have emerged, proposing rationality assumption is solely insufficient to explain the determination of consumer preferences. An individual is a social being having feelings and interacting with environment. Therefore, every subject including human beings inevitably includes environmental and psychological factors. In this manner, presentation of events changes decisions, besides features such as personality, gender, age and education . “Framing Effect”, which can be defined as the differentiation of decisions as presentation of information changes with visual elements, different words or presentation style, constitutes the core of this study. Effects of “framing” on the preferences of individuals have been analyzed, considering the study of Kahneman and Tversky named “Asian Disease” which is vital in the economic literature. This study, concentrates on outcomes of an empirical study, applied on individuals between ages 18 and 44, living in Istanbul and at least high school educated. In this study, it is analyzed whether randomly applied positive and negative frames create systematic effects based on gender and age over decisions.
    Keywords: Framing Effects, Asian Disease, Rationality

    Abstract: In this paper we empirically investigate the effects on inward FDI of various components of political and financial risk. We also examine the relationship between inward FDI and not only the level of these risks but also their changes over time. Two kinds of findings are noteworthy. One is that among the political and financial risks, only the political risk is associated with the FDI inflow. Specifically, the change in the level of political risk affects FDI inflows, while the initial level of political risk does not. The other is that, particularly in the case of developing countries, payment delays, contract expropriation, and corruption are negatively associated with the FDI inflow. However, significant improvement leads to increased FDI inflow, even if initial levels are high.
