Preventing interview falsifications during fieldwork in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)

The fabrication of an entire interview, is a rare event in the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) but can nevertheless lead to negative consequences regarding the panel sample, such as a loss in sample size or the need for time-consuming data corrections of information collected in previous waves. The work presented in this article started with the discovery of a case of interviewer fabrication after fieldwork for the sixth wave of SHARE was completed. As a consequence, we developed a technical procedure to identify interview fabrication and deal with it during ongoing fieldwork in the seventh wave. Unlike previous work that often used small experimental datasets and/or only a few variables to identify fake interviews, we implemented a more complex approach with a multivariate cluster analysis using many indicators from the available CAPI data and paradata. Analyses with the known outcome (interview fabrication or not) in wave 6 revealed that we were able to correctly identify a large number of the truly faked interviews while keeping the rate of ‘false alarms’ rather low. With these promising results, we started using the same script during the fieldwork for wave 7. We provided the survey agencies with information for targeted (instead of random) back checks to increase the likelihood of confirming our initial suspicion. The results show that only a very small number of interview fabrications could be unequivocally identified.
Correlated Shocks, Hysteresis, and the Sacrifice Ratio: Evidence from India

ABSTRACT In an emerging market with frequent shocks output sacrifice from disinflation depends not only on the Phillips curve slope but also on shifts in demand and supply. Introducing shocks and correlations between shocks in a Kalman filter-based estimation, the slope flattens, correlation between permanent supply and gap demand shocks is negative and a new decomposition of output between trend and output gap shocks is obtained. The slope is robust to parameter changes and business cycle turning points are tracked well, but the decomposition varies. More stable inflation expectation and rise in forward-looking behavior increase the volatility of trend growth and reduces the output gap. Inflation targeting had such effects in India. Estimated sacrifice ratio varies with the period and method, but it rises to 6.7 over 2011–17 if such hysteresis is included. Simultaneous equation estimation corroborates the results. In the estimation period, inflation targeting affected expectations but not inflation.
Editorial: Theory and practices of the corporate board in the international context

I am glad to present the second issue of 2019 of the journal “Corporate Board: Role, Duties and Composition”. Nowadays, literature and practitioners, from a theoretical and empirical focus, agree that corporate governance efficiency is essential to achieve the long-term sustainability of firms and institutions. Despite of the initial emphasis on internal mechanisms of control (e.g. board of directors independence, executive incentives, internal audit committee) and shareholders as main interested in corporate governance efficiency (Agency Theory – Shareholders corporate governance focus), the focus appears to take a new direction looking for new insights on the stakeholders and external mechanisms of control (e.g. external blockholders, institutional investors shareholding, market) to dealing with the resolution of conflicts among the participants in organizations (Stakeholder Theory – Stakeholders corporate governance focus) going in the line with the previous research by Alagla (2019), Vargas-Hernández and Teodoro Cruz (2018), Rossi, Nerino, and Capasso (2015), Chung, Firth, and Kim (2005), and Chapelle (2004). This issue of the journal marks another step in this area, providing an interdisciplinary dialogue on diversity in corporate governance practices.
Capacity building for implementation of nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement

ABSTRACT The majority of developing countries have indicated capacity building as a condition for implementing their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. This is in the context of shortfalls in past initiatives on capacity building under different bilateral and multilateral agencies including bodies of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which can be largely attributed to their short-term, ad-hoc, supply-driven, and project-based nature. Article 11 of the Paris Agreement points to a potentially new paradigm for capacity building. Based on a review of literature on past experience, as well as analysis of countries’ capacity building perspectives in the NDCs, this paper attempts to draw lessons for better capacity building for NDC implementation. The paper aims at answering the questions: What are the capacity building needs expressed in the NDCs? Where are the matches and mismatches with past efforts, and what kind of capacity building can address the current needs? We propose a capacity building framework that addresses climate change as a long term problem. We suggest that universities in developing countries should serve as central hubs for a sustainable, institution-based capacity building system, supported by strengthened partnerships and long term financing. Finally, we suggest that, for the next round of NDCs, developing countries should be more explicit and specific in their demands and approaches to capacity building. Key policy insights The next round of developing countries’ NDCs should be more specific about their capacity building needs and align them better with the financial support system under the Paris Agreement. The capacity building needs identified in the NDCs fall short of learning from previous efforts, including that capacity building must be specific and demand-driven, to ensure country ownership. A new framework for capacity building needs to be established, with: a capacity building mechanism under the UNFCCC, developing country universities as the central hub; strengthened partnerships; and a long term financial support system. This framework should be tailored towards the differences in capacity needs among different groups of developing countries.
Utilisation thérapeutique du cannabis (Sativex®) : de la sclérose en plaques aux innovations médicales

Dans l’imaginaire collectif, cannabis rime avec drogue, stupefiant, produit dangereux,illegalite. Neanmoins, certaines vertus ont ete attribuees depuis maintenant de nombreuses annees a cette plante. Plusieurs medicaments derives des cannabinoides ont deja vu le jour et d’autres vont arriver a plus ou moins long terme sur le marche. En 2014, le Sativex® est le premier medicament derive du cannabis a avoir obtenu une AMM en France. Ce retard considerable par rapport a d’autres pays et les difficultes de commercialisation rencontrees encore a l’heure actuelle pour ce medicament nous prouvent que ce sujet reste polemique dans notre pays. La principale crainte reste finalement le risque de detournement a usage recreatif et l’apparition d’effets nefastes sur la sante dans une nation qui tente deja tant bienque mal de reduire l’expansion des drogues dans la population. L’objectif de cette these est de presenter d’une maniere globale l’utilisation medicale du cannabis tout en mettant un point d’accent sur le Sativex® et son arrivee en France. L’interet de ce travail est de determiner le benefice reel de ces composes par rapport a d’autres dans le traitement de plusieurs pathologies, de verifier si les formulations proposees par les scientifiques a l’heure actuelle presentent un risque pour la sante, de confirmer ou d’infirmer la securite de ces composes et d’aider le pharmacien a se familiariser avec ce genre de medicament pour une prise en charge optimale du patient.
CEO Research Orientation, Organizational Context, and Innovation in the Pharmaceutical Industry

This study develops and tests a comprehensive framework that explains what, when, and how CEO characteristics influence firms’ innovation outcomes in R&D-intensive industries. Empirical evidence from 109 CEOs from 87 U.S.-based pharmaceutical firms over the period 2001–2013 reveals that research-oriented CEOs – those with ability and motivation for science and technology – increase their firms’ innovation outcomes. The results indicate that the CEO–innovation relationship strongly depends on the extent of CEOs’ managerial discretion, which is shaped by the organizational context. We contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the role of CEOs in firms´ innovation performance differentials.
Du désir d’enfant au projet conceptionnel : exploration des préoccupations et besoins en santé de couples par une étude qualitative

Introduction : La sante preconceptionnelle est le pilier de la prevention primaire pour l’enfant a naitre ainsi que pour ses parents. Les soins preconceptionnels sont efficaces et recommandes mais ne sont pas realises de maniere optimale en France. Ce travail s’interesse aux preoccupations et besoins des futurs parents a ce sujet. Objectif : L’objectif principal est de faire emerger de nouvelles pistes d’action a promouvoir en soins preconceptionnels elaborees a partir du vecu de couples ayant un desir d’enfant. Methode : Une etude qualitative a ete menee aupres de 8 couples en desir de parentalite par entretien semi-diriges au sein de la region Rhone-Alpes de novembre 2018 a juillet 2019. Resultats : Si les futurs parents pronent leur besoin d’autonomie dans la conduite de leur projet, ils expriment un besoin d’etre rassures et informes par des professionnels competents. Cette etude confirme que la CPC n’est pas assez connue. Les couples, plutot favorables a sa realisation, pourraient se sentir plus concernes si elle s’adaptait a leurs problematiques. Des pistes sont a explorer selon leurs propositions en tant qu’usager du soin. Une majoration des moyens de communication d’ordre publique et la possibilite d’avoir acces a des sources d’informations fiables et certifiees pourraient faciliter sa realisation. Il apparait crucial egalement de valoriser la place et la sante du futur pere en periode preconceptionnelle.

The phenomena of overtourism: a review

The purpose of this paper is to examine the emergence of overtourism, outline the issues and contributing factors, as it relates to cities, and to suggest possible mitigation measures that might be taken by policy makers. ,This paper draws from a review of literature looking at longitudinal issues of tourism development overtime and what has contributed to the phenomena of overtourism. A discussion of implications is provided from this review. ,As tourism is an industry which has historically been poorly managed, greater political will and actual acknowledgement of the problem, as well as action by all levels of government are the necessary first steps to address overtourism. ,This paper outlines key elements that contribute to overtourism and provides global examples which may help practitioners identify key critical issues in their own destinations and identify appropriate actions. ,This paper identifies issues raised by local resident populations and possible responses. ,This paper provides a critical overview of overtourism issues, as it relates to cities and discusses potential mitigation and reduction efforts, thereby providing an explanation of why overtourism has become so prevalent.
Case Test of Citizen Participation in Complex Governance—Based on the Democracy Cube

In recent years, under the policy orientation of expanding public orderly political participation, the government has continuously strived to innovate the form and content of public participation and achieved good implementation results. In this paper, based on the democracy cube, we combine domestic democratic cases which are the representative participatory budget reform in the Xihu district of Nanchang, and discuss citizen participation issues from the perspectives of authority, participants and communication mode in detail.
EFFECTS OF EMPLOYEE CREATIVE PROBLEM-SOLVING ON INNOVATION OUTCOMES AND NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE: THE MODERATING ROLE OF CULTURE AND COMMUNICATION

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of employees’ creative problem-solving on organisations’ innovation outcomes, as well as the effects of innovation outcomes on organisations non-financial performance. Based on a sample of 320 participants from diverse organisations, using structural equation modelling techniques, we find that creative problem-solving does not have any effect on innovation outcomes, except with the moderating influence of an innovative culture or communication. We also find that innovation outcomes have a positive relationship with non-financial performance. We make theoretical contributions into the antecedents of innovation outcomes, while offering several practical insights for leading creative employees and managing innovation.
Informational Content and Assurance of Textual Disclosures: Evidence on Integrated Reporting

This paper examines the economic benefits associated with textual attributes and the external assurance of integrated reporting (IR), an innovative form of corporate disclosure that connects financial and environmental, social and governance (ESG) information in a single report. We investigate the setting of South Africa, where IR has been mandatory since 2010 for listed companies. We find that IR readability is associated with a higher market valuation, conciseness with higher stock liquidity and tone bias with less dispersed analysts’ estimates. Results suggest that market participants appreciate IRs that are readable, short and focused, as well as hint at tone management strategies targeting analysts. We also show that assurance on IR moderates the negative effects of poor textual attributes: if firms publish IRs that are difficult to read but assure them, this compensates for the negative influence of reading difficulty on a market value; if long IRs are assured, this dampens the negative effect of verbosity on liquidity; if firms assure IRs, analysts’ forecast dispersion is lower, therefore suggesting that assurance acts as a credibility-enhancing mechanism for external users. Finally, we show that textual attributes and assurance matter for broader audiences interested in the ESG dimensions of a firm’s performance.
Does intellectual capital matter in performance management system-organizational performance relationship? Experience of higher education institutions in Indonesia

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether performance management system (PMS) has a positive effect on organizational performance. Furthermore, it also investigates whether intellectual capital (IC) mediates PMS-organizational performance relationship. Design/methodology/approach This study is designed as a quantitative research employing a partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Using an online survey, data are collected from the HEIs managers under the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education, the Government of Indonesia (MRTH-GOI). This research uses a mediation model approach to test the indirect effect of IC. Findings The results reveal that PMS has a positive direct effect on organizational performance of the HEIs in Indonesia. Further analysis proves that IC partially mediates PMS-organizational relationship. Research limitations/implications This research is context-specific for Indonesia and caution should be used when generalizing it to other countries. It implies that the better the organizational performance of the HEIs, the better the quality of life in the society. PMS and IC play a crucial role in the era of knowledge economy. Practical implications The HEIs managers should design and implement a reliable PMS. They also should properly manage the IC (human capital, structural capital, relational capital) so that they can enhance organizational performance in areas of teaching, research and community service as the core business of the HEIs. Social implications As the global education competition has become a serious issue in each HEI in Indonesia, the results of this study contribute to providing an approach on how to achieve a better organizational performance which brings more benefits to the society. The HEIs display a strategic role in improving the quality of life of society. The knowledge economy requires society to enhance the quality of education at all levels. This research model and results provide empirical evidence of the importance of IC which mediates the relationship between PMS and organizational performance. When the HEIs in Indonesia implement this model of managing IC, the society will get more benefits in terms of the improvements in the quality of education, teaching, research and community service from the HEIs. The better the HEIs performance, the better the quality of life of the society in the era of knowledge economy. Originality/value This research brings together issues that are usually examined separately in previous studies. It employs a mediation research model to explore the central role of IC in PMS- organizational performance relationship which is rarely researched. This is also the first study exploring the three constructs of PMS, IC and organizational performance in the Indonesian HEIs research setting.
Governança e melhoria na CGV: por que a inserção importa?

EnglishPurpose – [This study’s primary objective is to propose actors embeddeness as a source for governance and upgrading within the GVC (Global Value Chain) framework. ] Design/methodology/approach – [This study uses co-word analysis to study GVC scientific production. The analysis is conducted using the controversies mapping from the Theory of Scientific and Technological Change (TSTC)] Findings – [Two theoretical gaps were pointed due to GVC theory evolvement. First, that governance and upgrading have more than one definition and second that value and network are upgrading strategies. This article proposes the use of Montenegro e Bulgacov (2014) framework to translate governance and upgrading respectively as network governance and strategic outcomes. Embeddedness matters because is a stable theoretical concept (Granovetter, 1985) that can be a link between network governance and strategic results. ] Originality/value – [The study main contribution is to propose a relativist embeddeness sourcing governance and upgrading. The second contribution is to present a framework, ANT based, modeled to study governance and its strategic results. ] portuguesObjetivo – O objetivo principal deste estudo e propor a insercao de atores como fonte de governanca e melhoria na estrutura da cadeia global de valor (CGV).

Measuring the Systemic Risk of China’s Banking Sector: An Application of Differential Debtrank

This paper investigates the systemic risk of China’s banking sector via network analysis and differential DebtRank from 2007 to 2016. The interbank network of each year is constructed by means of the yearly interbank assets and liabilities of twenty-eight Chinese banks. The results show that the twenty-eight banks in China are closely connected through interbank networks. We compute the risk contribution of each bank and the expected systemic losses by using the differential DebtRank method. We find that the interconnectedness of a bank is highly significant to its systemic risk: banks with high eigenvector centrality contribute more systemic risk. Banks with high returns on assets and low liquidity also contribute more systemic risk. The overall systemic risk changes over time and reaches high levels in 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2012. In high-risk years, the risk contribution of small-scale banks significantly increases. Our results offer novel insights with reference to macroprudential supervision.

When Growth is Inclusive in Indonesia

This study aims to measure and analyze the inclusive growth rate in Indonesia by using per capita expenditure data from Indonesian population. Inclusiveness of growth is observed from the Growth Incidence Curve and pro-poor growth approach using Poverty Equivalent Growth Rate (PEGR) method. It also sees the effect of growth and income redistribution on poverty change using Decomposition of Poverty through Shapley value. This research is divided into two periods, i.e. 2012-2014 and 2014-2016 by grouping the territory of Indonesia into three areas, i.e. Java and Bali, Sumatra and Kalimantan Island, and Eastern Indonesia. The result shows that in 2012-2014, the income growth in Indonesia is inclusive, while in 2014-2016 its growth is not inclusive yet. This is due to the effect of economic growth still hampered by the effect of income inequality over the years 2014 to 2016.
