Disease Based Allocative Efficiency Framework: Implementation. Volume I: Summary
Creators: name: Segal, Leonie
name: Richardson, Jeff
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In response to concerns about inefficiencies that can be caused by a distorted health service mix, the Health Economics Unit has a major research stream on allocative efficiency. This paper reports on that research, with a brief description of the Framework for priority setting and its application to diabetes. The Framework has been developed based on economic principles which require that all options be treated equivalently, whether they be for primary prevention, management or end stage care. The Framework ensures the consideration of options outside narrowly defined areas of program responsibility of a single agency. The structure developed is that of a disease based model, which provides a mechanism within which to establish resource priorities to minimise disease burden. In application of the model to diabetes, the overwhelming conclusion is that too few resources are allocated to primary and secondary prevention and health promotional approaches to management, with a consequent higher complication rate than could otherwise be achieved. This is consistent with the distortions expected from a medically focused funding system. We found the broad structure of the Framework to be workable, and the priority setting task tractable with a modest resource commitment (of perhaps 3 to 6 equivalent full time research staff at senior and junior research fellow level, per disease). Suggested modifications to the Framework largely reflect the extreme paucity of cost-effectiveness and health outcome data. The role of this type of research in contributing to research agendas and priorities for clinical and health services research is perhaps one of the more important conclusions.

description: This note analyzes export production in the presence of exchange rate uncertainty under mean-variance preferences. We present the elasticity of risk aversion, since this elasticity concept permits a distinct investigation of risk and expectation effects on exports. Counterintutitive results are possible, e.g. though the home currency is revaluating (devaluating) exports of the firm increase decrease. This fact may contribute to the explanation of disturbing empirical results.
Board Remuneration, Company Performance, and Corporate Governance: Evidence from Publicly Listed Malaysian Companies
Creators: name: Dogan, Ergun

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Corporate governance is hotly debated in Malaysia and elsewhere in the Asian-Pacific region. The reason for this is that several of the problems that Asian-Pacific countries faced during the crisis of 1997-1999 are blamed on weak corporate governance structures. In this study we examine the determinants of Board compensation in Malaysian companies listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange over the period 1989 to 2000. Our objective is to examine whether corporate governance affects the relationship between performance and remuneration. We find evidence of a statistically significant positive relationship between Board remuneration and sales turnover and a statistically significant negative relationship between Board remuneration and ownership concentration. However, the relationship between Board remuneration and firm performance is ambiguous, while there is no evidence of a significant relationship between Board remuneration and sector performance.

description: In the context of goal-oriented communications, this paper addresses the achievable rate versus generalization error region of a learning task applied on compressed data. The study focuses on the distributed setup where a source is compressed and transmitted through a noiseless channel to a receiver performing polynomial regression, aided by side information available at the decoder. The paper provides the asymptotic rate generalization error region, and extends the analysis to the non-asymptotic regime.Additionally, it investigates the asymptotic trade-off between polynomial regression and data reconstruction under communication constraints. The proposed achievable scheme is shown to achieve the minimum generalization error as well as the optimal rate-distortion region.
Manufacturing Performance Through the Recession

description: This paper reflects on the performance of companies in the Moorabbin region through the recession, current business projections and the needs of industry to support these projections. This data and information have been collected and determined from a survey and interviews involving ninety-two SME's in the Moorabbin Project - a regional industry development project. The interpretations of the results and findings indicate that companies did suffer in the recession but in general the companies that remain in the Moorabbin area did not experience any major down turn during the recession. This was not the picture expected at the start of the Moorabbin project but provide support to the theories of regional industry economic dynamics, (separate project paper on Regional Industry Economic Dynamics). The paper concludes with comment on potential impediments to company growth arising from the correlation of survey results and interview findings in the context of company performance analysis.
The effects of Foreign Aid on the creation and distribution of Wealth

description: This paper develops a model to study the effects of foreign aid on the creation and distribution of wealth in the recipient country. It considers three types of foreign aid: permanent grants to all individuals, temporary grants to uneducated workers, and foreign aid in the form of low interest rate loans to individuals who invest in education. The model shows that the economy may have two long-run equilibria, a rich equilibrium and a poor one. All types of foreign aid can increase the proportion of individuals investing in education, which means more people converging to the rich equilibrium and higher average wealth in the economy. In addition, if permanent or temporary grants are sufficient large, it is possible that the whole economy may converge to the rich equilibrium.

description: Consider the following two opinions, both of which can be found in the literature of consumer demand systems: (a) As the real income of a consumer becomes indefinitely large, re-mixing the consumption bundle becomes irrelevant: having chosen the ultimately satisfying budget shares at any given set of relative prices, the superlatively wealthy continue to allocate additional income in the same proportions. With very large and increasing per capita income, ultimately the utility function becomes indistinguishable from Cobb-Douglas. (b) Consumer demand systems in which the income elasticities monotonically approach one (from above, in the case of luxuries; from below, in the case of necessities) are unsatisfactory both theoretically and empirically. For instance, a necessity with a low (< 1) income elasticity may very well become less elastic with further increases in income. The issue is important for CGE modelers because explicit direct additivity (as in the linear expenditure system [LES]) is often the modeler's default choice: this leaves us firmly in the world of (a). Hanoch's implicit direct additivity exhibits very flexible Engel properties. Rimmer and Powell's AIDADS system belongs to this class. Within such a system it is possible to satisfy the motivations underlying both (a) and (b), as illustrated by the Engel (income) elasticities for a 3-commodity AIDADS system shown below in Figure 1.Whilst the system eventually converges to Cobb-Douglas, some income elasticities can be effectively zero at any imaginable actual income level. Inferiority can also be accommodated over a range of incomes. This paper discusses the above in more detail, strengthening the case for implicit direct additivity. An experimental calibration of a database to the AIDADS system is illustrated with modifications made to the ORANI-G teaching model. A technical appendix establishes the effectively global regularity of AIDADS.
Birth-spacing and Child Survival: Comparative Evidence from India and Pakistan

description: This paper examines child mortality in India and Pakistan. Child survival is jointly estimated with birth spacing, because the duration between successive children is likely to significantly affect child quality and hence child survival. The analysis is based on National Family Health Survey (NFHS) 1992-93 household-level data from the Indian province of Punjab and Pakistan Integrated Household Survey (PIHS) 1991 data from the Pakistani Punjab province. There are interesting similarities and differences in the results from two provinces that have been separated by partition in 1947. While results relating to the importance of sibling competition and composition are similar, there are differences in results relating to household resource constraints and also paternal and maternal education in the two adjacent states. These also highlight the differential role of the state and the religion in these two samples.
Leading change in e-commerce

description: Inevitably the adoption of any new technology brings about change but e-commerce is significantly different in that it completely shifts global business into a fast paced electronic environment. The old notions of management are totally ineffective and a new style, focused on 'leadership', is required - but what style of leadership? The findings of this research indicate that organizations that have successfully integrated ecommerce have exhibited a unique style of leadership. Using a change management matrix, which determines the impact of change versus leadership style within an organisation, 182 Australian managers were surveyed and positioned within this matrix. It was found that within the most successful organisations, leaders had a distinctive style that facilitated the appropriate change and established a conducive e-commerce environment.

GP Budget Holding: Scoring a Bullseye or Missing the Target?

description: Health care expenditure has been increasing steadily for most developed countries over the last few decades, causing governments to increasingly look to organisational and financial reform of health systems. Although the structure and problems of the health care sector in each country may differ, with countries correspondingly adopting different reform agendas, there has been some element of commonality in reforms: that of (managed) competition. There has been some convergence towards the `public contract model', where public financing of health care is combined with a system of contracts between providers and purchasers of care. Of particular importance in such reforms has been the strengthening of primary care. General practitioners (GPs), and primary care physicians, as `gatekeepers' to the health system, are increasingly being called upon to be accountable; not only for their patients' health but also for the wider resource implications of any treatments prescribed. In some countries this role has been formalised through GPs and primary care physicians being allocated set budgets to cover patient care. This approach, although differing slightly across countries, is generally referred to as "budget holding". This is manifest, for instance, through GP Fund holding in the United Kingdom (UK), Health Maintenance Organisations in the United States of America (USA) and Independent Practice Associations in New Zealand (NZ). This paper examines: (i) what such budget holding seeks to achieve; (ii) the effectiveness of the budget holding experience to date in achieving these objectives; and (iii) factors which may facilitate and impede the success of budget holding. It is concluded that the efficiency `target' of budget holding is well in sight for the UK and USA. However, for NZ evidence suggests that the target may be missed altogether.
Managing change and resistance to change: a theoretical guide for practitioners and researchers

description: Little research is available examining the predictors or underlying mechanisms of employee reactions to implementation of change efforts. In this paper, we discuss the importance of the conceptual perspective of organisations adopted when implementing a change effort, and we develop a theoretical model to guide managers charged with designing and implementing organisational change programs. The model identifies the key factors that impact the employee's decision to resist during change implementation and their subsequent resistance behaviour. Specific areas requiring attention in the management of change are also presented.
Long-run Simulations with GTAP: Illustrative Results from APEC Trade Liberalisation

Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In static applied general equilibrium models, the exogenous/endogenous split between variables (or closure) is used to infer the time frame over which the effects of a shock are simulated. This paper introduces a longrun closure for the GTAP model (Hertel and Tsigas, 1997) and uses this closure to simulate and compare the short-run and long-run effects of Asia- Pacific trade liberalisation. The approach explored here incorporates some relatively minor changes to existing GTAP theory in order to define a steady state in which growth rates of all real variables are uniform. Such uniformity must apply in the initial database (as well as in the post-shock solution). So to implement the new long run in GTAP a new initial database must first be created. Details concerning the creation of the new database are given, and results under the new approach are compared with those obtained under the old. The emphasis of this paper is on the development of a long-run closure in which the percentage change form equations of the model and the relationships between the levels variables in the GTAP database are consistent. Further research is required into these types of long-run closures to incorporate changes in ownership of capital to ensure that changes in welfare are adequately modelled. In the results reported here, GDP is not a useful guide to national welfare. The long-run closures introduced here are also compared with another comparative static long-run closure developed for GTAP by Francois, MacDonald and Nordstrom (1996).
Some thoughts on the influence of technology on organisation structure

description: Technology is an important component of the structure of an organization when using the widest possible definition of technology as the art or science of production. As a causal variable for structure it has had its share of interest from past researchers but there have not been conclusive results. For a technology to have an effect on the structure of the firm it must be essential to the firm's operations, such that i f it were removed the firm could no longer operate in its accustomed manner. However, the search for causal relationships presents a problem as it is not possible to exclude other contingent variables. Population ecology models (Hannan and Freeman 1977) and in particular the con figuration a I model of Miller and Mintzberg (1984) address these issues without implying causality and this approach has been used here to predict configurations that are consistent with the technology employed by organizations. Two conclusions can be drawn from this approach: first, organizations will cluster round a small number of common configurations so that observation of a small number of variables, such as technology, are sufficient to assign an organization to a configuration and on that basis make predictions about other organizational characteristics; and secondly the effects of change within the organization, such as a change in production technology, can be predicted.
When Modellers Behave like Lawyers: Have we lost the Plot?

description: Australia has made outstanding contributions to the use of quantitative economic models in public policy discussions. That leading role is now threatened by the increasing use of econometric modellers in an advocacy, lawyer-like role, rather than as impartial sources of the best available technical advice. This development became inevitable once it became fashionable in Canberra during the mid 1980s to deny the existence of public goods and to force the funding of economic intelligence garnering increasingly into the private sector. This paper argues that we are all the losers.
Cost Effectiveness of Alternative Work-up Strategies in Screening for Colorectal Cancer

description: To the extent that economic evaluation of medical technology is frequently antedated by its diffusion, the prospects for "nay saying" in the light of opportunity costs are limited. This study provides a prospective analysis of the cost of confirmatory testing for a program not yet introduced - use of the faecal occult blood test (FOBT) for colorectal cancer screening. Specifically, it evaluates alternative diagnostic workup strategies - based on existing data on the prevalence of cancers, adenomas and other conditions; the sensitivity and specificity of confirmatory tests (rigid sigmoidoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, double-contrast barium enema and colonoscopy); risks; and net costs to Medicare. Two dominant protocols are identified among the 22 protocols examined. The average cost of one with the best diagnostic yield is conservatively estimated to be $174 per FOBT positive individual. Clearly, a cheap screening test does not equate with an inexpensive screening program.

description: This paper examines the findings on employee share ownership programs' (ESOP) influence on organisational performance among Australian firms. The ESOP anticipated benefits that lead to superior organizational performance measured by traditional key accounting ratios are primarily based on a research conducted in the USA. Since there is no evidence of a similar research conducted in Australia, a quantitative study explored links between employee share ownership participation and organizational performance among Australian firms. The findings are opposed to the common understanding among academics and business people today that ESOP significantly contribute to an improved organisational performance.

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A Bayesian approach to option pricing is presented, in which posterior inference about the underlying returns process is conducted implicitly via observed option prices. A range of models allowing for conditional leptokurtosis, skewness and time-varying volatility in returns are considered, with posterior parameter distributions and model probabilities backed out from the option prices. Models are ranked according to several criteria, including out-of-sample fit, predictive and hedging performance. The methodology accommodates heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation in the option pricing errors, as well as regime shifts across contract groups. The method is applied to intraday option price data on the S&P500 stock index for 1995. Whilst the results provide support for models which accommodate leptokurtosis, no one model dominates according to all criteria considered.

A Class of Nonlinear Stochastic Volatility Models and Its Implications on Pricing Currency Options

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper proposes a class of stochastic volatility (SV) models which offers an alternative to the one introduced in Andersen (1994). The class encompasses all standard SV models that have appeared in the literature, including the well known lognormal model, and allows us to empirically test all standard specifications in a convenient way. We develop a likelihood-based technique for analyzing the class. Daily dollar/pound exchange rate data reject all the standard models and suggest evidence of nonlinear SV. An efficient algorithm is proposed to study the implications of this nonlinear SV on pricing currency options and it is found that the lognormal model overprices options.

description: Empirical support for the competing theories of efficiency wages has been sought by conducting surveys of firms in the U.K., the U.S.A., and Sweden. This survey of Australian firms found qualified support for the shirking model of efficiency wages proposed by Shapiro and Stiglitz (1984). While little support was found for the adverse selection model strong support was found for the turnover model, consistent with the surveys of Blinder and Choi (1990) and Bewley (1995,1999). All the surveys find pervasive support for the notion of fairness as an explanation for wage rigidity endorsing efficiency wage theory as developed by Akeriof(1982, 1984) and Akerlof and Yellen (1988, 1990).

Supplier Induced Demand Reconsidered

Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper reconsiders the evidence and argument supporting the theory of Supplier Induced Demand (SID) in the light of recent criticisms and particularly those presented at the 1997 Health Economists Conference by Doessel (1997). The paper commences by documenting the major facts of the health sector which any satisfactory theory - SID or orthodox - must address. A theory of SID is outlined which differs in some importance respects from the theory presented in most text books of health economics. Criticisms of the use of cross-sectional data are evaluated and the model used by Richardson (1981) and by Doessel (1997) are re-estimated with cross-sectional data from 187 statistical sub-divisions. The rates at which procedures are given to hospital patients following an emergency admission for acute myocardial infarction are then presented as a discriminating test of the relative importance of patients and doctors in decision-making. It is concluded that SID provides a coherent explanation of the major facts in the health sector in a way that orthodox theory does not. It is suggested that the continued debate in the economic literature is attributable to the application of different criteria for the acceptance and rejection of new theories. A distinction is drawn between pragmatic and orthodox theorists and the criteria each is likely to apply for the revision of theory in the face of discordant observations.

description: La relevancia económica y social que posee aún la actividad agropecuaria en Zacatecas, a pesar del deterioro y disponibilidad limitada de recursos naturales, motiva el objetivo del presente trabajo, que busca evaluar el desempeño productivo y económico de cultivos agrícolas bajo condiciones de riego en Zacatecas, considerando elementos de productividad, tales como: agua y suelo; aplicando indicadores de eficiencia de sistemas productivos propuestos por Molden et al. (1998) y Sánchez et al. (2006), donde se plantea que dadas las características productivas agrícolas del área es posible identificar cultivos cuyos requerimientos de agua y suelo son diferentes, sin que ello indique mayores beneficios en términos de sustentabilidad de recursos naturales. Los resultados obtenidos muestran diferencias significativas en la EMUS (Eficiencia Monetaria por Superficie) y EMUA (Eficiencia Monetaria Uso de Agua), lo que indica también diferencias económicas y eficiencia en los recursos naturales utilizados, así como en los cultivos más relevantes en los tres distritos analizados, lo que indica diferencias en los rendimientos equivalentes y los ingresos que obtienen los productores. Palabras clave: cultivo agrícola, recurso natural, eficiencia productiva-económica. Agricultural productivity in irrigated areas of Zacatecas Abstract Given the economic and social relevance of the agricultural activity in Zacatecas, despite the deterioration and limited availability of natural resources, motivates the objective of this work, which seeks to evaluate the productive and economic performance of agricultural crops under irrigation conditions in Zacatecas considering elements of productivity, such as: water and soil. Applying efficiency indicators of productive systems proposed by Molden et al. (1998) and Sánchez et al. (2006), it is proposed that given the agricultural productive characteristics of the area, it is possible to identify crops whose water and soil requirements are different, without indicating greater benefits in terms of sustainability of natural resources. The results obtained show significant differences in EMUS (Monetary Efficiency by Surface) and EMUA (Monetary Efficiency Water Use), which also indicates economic differences and efficiency in the natural resources used, as well as in the most relevant crops in the three districts analyzed which indicates differences in the equivalent yields and the income that the producers obtain. Keywords: agricultural cultivation, natural resource, productive-economic efficiency.

description: A semiparametric method is developed for estimating the dependence parameter and the joint distribution of the error term in the multivariate linear regression model. The nonpara- metric part of the method treats the marginal distributions of the error term as unknown, and estimates them by suitable empirical distribution functions. Then a pseudolikelihood is maximized to estimate the dependence parameter. It is shown that this estimator is as- ymptotically normal, and a consistent estimator of its large sample variance is given. A simulation study shows that the proposed semiparametric estimator is better than the para- metric methods available when the error distribution is unknown, which is almost always the case in practice. It turns out that there is no loss of asymptotic e±ciency due to the estimation of the regression parameters. An empirical example on portfolio management is used to illustrate the method. This is an extension of earlier work by Oakes (1994) and Genest et al. (1995) for the case when the observations are independent and identically distributed, and Oakes and Ritz (2000) for the multivariate regression model.

description: This paper explores the nature and genesis of seigniorage in the Australian Institutional setting. The topic has been explored broadly and in pedagogical fashion in order to introduce the range of associated issues which emerged as the paper progressed. An attempt has been made to make a clear dichotomy between cash and currency to avoid the confusion which follows from a common practice of using the terms interchangeably.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Corporate Social Responsibility in Building and Construction Industry
Creators: name: Petrovic-Lazarevic, Sonja
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The paper discusses corporate social responsibility relevant to preserving a healthy working environment in the Building and Construction Industry (BCI) in both large organisations and small-medium enterprises (SME). BCI large organisations take the form of corporation, while SME apply corporate entrepreneurship management style. In accordance with an increasing interest of dealing with business ethics, large organisations focus on providing an efficient working environment. In corporate entrepreneurship organisations, however, since project managers need to pay attention to stakeholders when dealing with a healthy external environment, an individual approach to social responsibility may have subjective connotation. The paper suggests in which direction ethical responsibilities of governance in both large and small BCI organizations should develop in order to be socially acceptable.
Informalidad fiscal en centros de comercio textil de México: vínculos socioeconómicos como estrategia de reproducción económica

description: Este artículo es una exploración de las estrategias de informalidad fiscal efectuadas en los procesos de compra-venta de mercancías en México. El propósito es entender las condiciones de la creciente economía informal, así como la búsqueda de alternativas tomadas por parte del Estado para captar a los no contribuyentes. Utilizando la etnografía multisituada como estrategia metodológica, “seguimos” a compradores de mercancías por tres tradicionales centros de comercio textil del centro-occidente del país, con la finalidad de registrar y analizar el proceso comercial bajo el cual adquieren los productos que van a ofertar en sus lugares de origen. En concordancia con la sociología económica, centramos la mirada en la perspectiva del actor social y los vínculos que construye en la búsqueda de su subsistencia. La información obtenida da evidencia de la resistencia económica, falta de información y capacitación fiscal ante la puesta en marcha de reformas hacendarias por el Estado. Como resultado, sus actividades comerciales se reproducen bajo la combinación de procesos formales e informales, legales e ilegales, como posibilidad de sustento y reproducción. Palabras claves: comercio informal, sociología económica, estrategias comerciales, tributación fiscal, evasión fiscal. Tax informality in Mexican textile trade center: socio-economic links as an economic reproduction strategy Abstract This article is an exploration of the strategies of tax informality carried out within merchandise trade in Mexico. The purpose is to understand the conditions of the increase of informal economy, as well as the alternatives taken by the government, to attract non-taxpayers. Employing a multisite ethnography as a methodological strategy, we "follow" merchandise purchasers in three traditional textile manufacturing centers in the central-west area of the country, with the purpose of documenting and analyzing the commercial process of the acquisition and later sale of those merchandises in their places of origin. In concordance with economic sociology, we focus our gaze on the perspective of the social actor and the links that are formed in the process of earning a subsistence. The information obtained provides evidence of their economic resistance, lack of fiscal knowledge and limited capacity to address the tax reforms adopted by the government. As a result, their commercial activities are reproduced through a combination of formal and informal, legal and illegal processes, as a possibility of obtaining sustenance and reproduction. Keywords: informal commerce, economic sociology, taxation, tax evasion.
