| Abstract: | This paper examines whether prudential policies help to reduce sovereign bond vulnerability to global spillover risk in ASEAN-4 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand). We measure sovereign vulnerability within a risk connectedness network among sovereign bonds. The direct effect is that markets with tighter prudential policies have significantly smaller spillovers from the Treasury yield shocks of other regional and global economies. The sum of indirect and direct effects indicates that prudential policies reduce sovereign spillover risk in the long term. These findings suggest prudential policies have dual efficiency in sovereign risk regulation and Treasury internationalization. |

| Abstract: | Whereas all the latecomer economies have been open to invite FDI for their development, they found it tricky or hard to take advantage of FDI to bring up indigenous capabilities in production and innovation. Spillover effect of FDI does not occur if host countries do not focus on the linkages between FDI and the domestic economy. While observed to rely more on MNCs than South Korea, the success of Taiwanese catch-up is also supported by the eventual rise of indigenous. If this dimension of the global-local interface is wrongfully managed, MNCs will remain dominant in local economies, which might lead to premature de-industrialization or a middle-income trap. Thus, managing the global-local interface is a key determinant of building up technological capabilities and long-term success of latecomer economies. This paper will elaborate the importance of local value-added, knowledge and ownership, drawing upon several cases, such as several resource sectors in Chile and Malaysia, auto sectors in Thailand, Malaysia, China and Korea, and the three IT hubs of Shenzhen, Penang and Taipei in Asia. |

| Abstract: | " Purpose - The World Health Organization claims that in almost every nation, including Malaysia, the number of persons over 60 rises more quickly than in any other age group. A significant worry for health and quality of life is how to mature successfully and accept well-being. Considerable interest is also being shown in well-being-related topics. As a result, this study will look at the social variables, such as social networks, social support, and social activities, that can significantly boost elderly wellbeing. Methodology - Using purposive sampling techniques, 200 structured questionnaires were distributed to Malaysian seniors ages 60 and above. However, only 150 usable questionnaires were completed. This work examined the research model using partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings - The results show that social networks significantly influence elderly well-being. However, no significant correlations were discovered between social activities, social support, and elderly well-being. Furthermore, the research model explains 63.1% of the substantial variation in elderly well-being. This study used the social theory of aging to comprehend the social elements that affect the well-being of the elderly. Novelty - The health of Malaysia's senior population has long-term economic and social advantages, making this study crucial. As a result, it needs to be significantly upgraded and improved by putting applicable rules and standards in place. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | " Objective - The Covid-19 pandemic has made MSMEs enter a crisis period that makes them the most vulnerable sector during a crisis. Given the vital role of MSMEs in economic stability, this study identified the drivers that shape the resilience of the MSME business, which is still not widely explored. This study elaborates on the role of knowledge-based financial literacy, financial resources and the cost of technology adoption from the financial side, TAM from the technology side, and external environmental factors in the form of government support as a driver of MSMEs' business resilience. Methodology/Technique - This study collected data from 339 MSMEs operating amid the Covid-19 crisis, and data analysis was carried out using the PLS-SEM technique. Finding - The results show that financial literacy positively affects financial resources and the cost of adopting technology from a financial perspective. However, only the cost of adoption directly affects business resilience, while financial resources have no effect. In terms of technological acceptance, perceived ease of use positively impacts perceived usefulness. However, only perceived usefulness directly affects business resilience, while perceived ease of use does not. Finally, government support positively affected business resilience during the pandemic. Novelty - This paper elaborates on the financial, technological, and government support aspects as an integrated framework to examine MSME resilience. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | Malaysia provides for interesting paradoxes. Poverty was reduced by adopting a horizontal perspective to policy planning through affirmative action targeting one ethnic group lagging economically in society. However, outcomes of affirmative action include growing wealth and income disparities, a problem this policy was supposed to address. Furthermore, the government has not been able to dictate the pattern of enterprise development despite a variety of state-business relations to shape the evolution of Malay-owned enterprises. |

| Abstract: | " Objective - Demands for Urban Retirement Environments have attracted much attention in the industry for senior citizens. This study aimed to examine the socio-demographic profile and antecedent factors influencing adults' decisions and preparedness toward retirement environment facilities in two urban settings. Methodology/Technique - This study uses a quantitative cross-sectional approach using the descriptive-normative survey method with a modified self-administered questionnaire. Data was collected in Greater Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu. Mail survey respondents returned 369 usable questionnaires yielding a 14.5% response rate. Hypotheses were analyzed using the structural model. Finding - The study found that the urban population was receptive to retirement preparation with financial Planning and health insurance commitments. The majority, 72%, engaged with exercise and 80% with lifelong learning activities and profited from a better health status. In addition, 69% to 72% were more well-prepared to welcome home care and daycare service packages. However, it was a natural preference to accept lower fees up to RM300, even though most hold health insurance plans, and the higher-income respondents with more than RM75,000 annual income showed a willingness to pay between RM1000 to RM5000 for institutional care services. Novelty - This study has examined significant relationships between the level of retirement preparedness, namely the three elements, financial Planning, health insurance, and lifelong Learning, with their socio-demographic profile. It also provides the gaps and potential greenfield versus brownfield areas for investment. The aged care providers and insurance companies have a potential niche market in developing and collaborating using the above elements in developing retirement insurance and investment package strategies. Together they can generate more options to build sustainable retirement environment business agenda. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | "Objective - COVID-19 is the worst in the history of pandemics. Small business survival has been jeopardized in this challenging situation, although entrepreneurs desire to strategize their plans to sustain their business. Other than strategies, psychological characteristics were found to be significant factors for sustaining business among entrepreneurs. Research on the psychological characteristics of entrepreneurs has long been conducted. However, the information is scarce in terms of the main psychological characteristics of entrepreneurs, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, this study explores the Bumiputera women entrepreneurs' psychological characteristics that enable the business's survival. Methodology/Technique - Using purposive sampling, a semi-structured interview was conducted with Bumiputera women entrepreneurs in the food business located in Penang. Out of 60, only 17 agreed to participate. Finding - The result of the thematic analysis revealed that self-confidence, creativity, and proactivity were identified as the primary key to sustaining their business. Surprisingly, the entrepreneur's creativity highlighted a new shed to hybrid Malay and Japanese cuisine to produce lemang sushi. Additionally, the study's findings have few consequences for entrepreneurs, societies, and the government. Although the pandemic has had a disastrous effect on health and lifestyle activities, there is always a spark of hope for introducing considerable ways to fulfill entrepreneurial desires and serve the community. Novelty - As a result, entrepreneurs are incentivized to boost the economy as a person in society by delivering sustainable services to the community. Type of Paper - Empirical" |

| Abstract: | " Purpose - The development of technology also encourages the creation of new products, which makes people more selective in choosing the brand, and halal products consist of natural or organic ingredients by Islamic law. The further study aimed to determine the effect of brand perception, halal label, and product composition of cosmetics on habitual buying behaviour. Besides, this study also tests the mediating effect of perceived price. Methodology - This research was conducted on 169 respondents using open-ended questions. The survey sample is customers willing to take a field survey and come to the three largest cosmetic stores. The reason for choosing data collection on cosmetics stores in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan, is the ease of access to this business. Second, Banjarmasin is a city with a number and quality of these cosmetic shops. It had specific difficulted regarding the customers who came to the store, and it seemed impossible to express the population size clearly. For data analysis, this study used SPSS ver.26 and determined the mediation effect using PROCESS macro version 4 model 4. Findings - The results of this study indicate that the most influential variables are product composition and halal labels. Meanwhile, brand perception contributes only 1% and is negative. This is because healthy and safe product composition will increase consumer confidence to buy repeatedly. In addition, the inclusion of halal labels is the essence of consumers and producers. This halal label intends to provide a sense of security for consumers and guarantee that the products produced are halal and ethical. Price can represent quality and status, while people tend not to pay attention to the brands. Novelty - The empirical results of this study stated several factors that cause brand perception to have little effect, such as cultural, social, personal, and psychological factors." |

| Abstract: | This study uses data from the Singapore Life Panel to investigate the effects of age-related policy reforms on older adult labor supply behaviors in Singapore. We first evaluate the impact of the Retirement and Re-employment Act (RRA) reform in 2017, which raised the maximum re-employment age from 65 to 67 years for those who were able to claim pension benefits at age 64. We find that the RRA reform reduced the probability of unemployment among people aged 66 years by 5.8 percentage points and increased the probability to continue working in the longest-held job during the lifetime by 11.4 percentage points. Second, we examine the impact of the pension-eligibility age reform of 2018, which raised the pension-eligibility age from 64 to 65 years for those who were protected by the mandatory labor protection and re-employment policy up to the age of 67 years. This rise in the pension-eligibility age increased the probability of full-time employment by 8.2 percentage points and reduced the probability of part-time employment by 5.7 percentage points among people aged 64 years. These two reforms promoted employment among older adults in different ways. Specifically, enhanced employment protection at age 66 increased the older adults' labor supply in the extensive margin, resulting in a welfare improvement for older adults since those who had been underemployed were less likely to be so after the reform. Still, their ineligibility to claim their pension at age 64 lowered their economic well-being because it increased their labor supply in the intensive margin to supplement the delay in pension benefits. |

| Abstract: | Focusing on banks, this study investigates the effect of economic policy uncertainty (EPU) on bank profitability in 22 advanced countries. The measures of bank profitability are net interest margin, lending-deposit spread, non-interest income ratio, after-tax return on asset, before-tax return on asset, after-tax return on equity and before-tax return on equity. The findings reveal that high economic policy uncertainty (EPU) negatively affects bank non-interest income. Real GDP growth rate, nonperforming loans and regulatory capital ratio are negatively related to profitability in times of high EPU. The findings also reveal that high EPU has a positive effect on bank profitability in Asia and the region of the Americas as these regions witnessed high return on equity in times of high EPU. The implication of the findings is that, although economic policy uncertainty has a depressive effect on some indicators of bank profitability, regional characteristics can ameliorate the depressive effects of EPU on bank profitability. |

| Abstract: | This paper studies a novel social e-commerce practice known as “help-and-haggle,” whereby an online consumer can ask friends to help her “haggle” over the price of a product. Each time a friend agrees to help, the price is cut by a random amount, and if the consumer cuts the product price down to zero within a time limit, she will get the product for free; otherwise, the product reverts to the original price. Help-and-haggle enables the firm to promote its product and boost its social reach as consumers effectively refer their friends to the firm. We model the consumer’s dynamic referral behavior in help-and-haggle and provide prescriptive guidance on how the firm should randomize price cuts. Our results are as follows. First, contrary to conventional wisdom, the firm should not always reduce the (realized) price-cut amount if referrals are less costly for the consumer. In fact, the minimum number of successful referrals the consumer must make to have a chance to win the product can be non-monotone in referral cost. Second, relative to the deterministic-price-cut benchmark, a random-price-cut scheme widens social reach and often lowers promotion expense while increasing profit from product sales at the same time. Third, help-and-haggle is more cost-effective in social reach than a reward-per-referral program that offers a cash reward for each successful referral. However, using the prospect of a free product to attract referrals cannibalizes product sales, potentially causing help-and-haggle to fall short in the total firm payoff. Yet, if consumers are heterogeneous in product valuation and referral cost or if they face increasing marginal referral costs, help-and-haggle can outperform the reward-per-referral program. |

| Abstract: | This study examined the effects of structural change and environmental pollution on health expenditure, while controlling for globalization. A panel data from 1995 to 2019 for 115 countries was used, while the estimation of results was done based on the Driscoll-Kraay technique. The estimation was conducted for different income levels as well as sub-regional groupings. The results revealed that two components of structural change, manufacturing value-added and service value-added significantly increased health expenditure in the world. Economic globalization and financial globalisation were also found to significantly reduce health expenditure while social globalisation, environmental pollution and interpersonal globalisation were found to significantly increase health expenditure in the world. The income level analysis revealed that manufacturing value-added significantly increased health expenditure in low-middle-income and upper-middle-income countries and in the different sub-regional groupings. The results also showed that agricultural value-added reduced health expenditure in low-middle-income countries and in Latin American countries. Service value added was found to reduce health expenditure in East Asian, Pacific, and South Asia and to increase health expenditure in the Middle East and North Africa. It is therefore recommended that green production techniques and better abatement policies should be utilized in the industrial and service sectors of all economies. |

| Abstract: | The market for meat cuts lies at the heart of intra-European trade. Each year, nearly 8 million tons of pork products are traded between member states of the European Union (EU), or around one-third of the EU-28's production. Among these pork products, pork cuts represent 60% of trade, but processed products, bacon and offal also contribute greatly. Given the importance of intra-European trade, the objective of the study was to specify its volume, value, and average unit price per product. The study helps understand specific characteristics of the EU market and highlight dynamics of the types of products exported and the main trading partners. Eurostat's international trade statistics make it possible to monitor the volume and value of trade flows between countries for a variety of product categories defined by an 8-digit Combined Nomenclature. The statistical analysis covered the period 2000-2020. Since 2000, trade in pork products has grown steadily, especially in boneless cuts. This is in line with increasing EU production and the search for added value, which pushes operators to produce cuts. However, faced with the increase in exports to Asia, especially China, in the past three years, the COVID-19 crisis in 2020, and the appearance of African swine fever in Germany, the usual dynamics have been disrupted. The map of intra-European trade has been reconfigured, with a sharp drop in exports of cuts. |
| Abstract: | Le commerce intra-européen des viandes et coproduits du porc : tendances et évolutions récentes des principaux flux et identification des marchés d'intérêt. Le marché des pièces de découpe se place au coeur du commerce intra-européen. Chaque année, près de 8 millions de tonnes de produits du porc sont échangées entre les Etats membres de l'Union européenne (UE), soit environ un tiers de la production de l'UE-28. Parmi ces produits du porc, les pièces de porc représentent 60% des échanges, mais les produits transformés, les lards et les abats contribuent également fortement. Face à l'importance du commerce intra-européen, l'objectif de l'étude est de préciser ses caractéristiques en termes de volume, de valeur et de prix unitaire moyen par produit. L'étude permet de comprendre quelles sont les spécificités du marché européen et de mettre en exergue l'évolution dans le temps des types de produits exportés et des principaux acteurs du commerce. Les statistiques du commerce international d'Eurostat permettent de suivre les flux commerciaux en volume et en valeur entre les pays pour diverses catégories de produits définies par la Nomenclature Combinée à 8 chiffres. L'analyse statistique porte sur la période 2000-2020. Depuis 2000, les échanges de produits du porc n'ont cessé de se développer, en particulier pour les pièces désossées. Ceci est en lien avec une production européenne croissante et la recherche de valeur ajoutée, poussant les opérateurs vers une élaboration des pièces de découpe. Néanmoins, face à l'intensification des exportations vers l'Asie et surtout la Chine ces trois dernières années, à la crise de la Covid-19 en 2020, et à l'introduction de la peste porcine africaine en Allemagne, les dynamiques habituelles sont perturbées. Les cartes du commerce intra-européen ont été redistribuées avec une forte inflexion des exportations des pièces de découpe.
