title: Monopoly pricing and eco-labeling signaling

description: Environmental friendly products are one kind of credence good which is impossible to observe its ‘ethical quality’. It is difficult for consumers to distinguish between ethical and conventional firms. Then an eco-label from a third-party certifier is suspected to be an effective ethical quality signal that develops consumer trusts. This study, a monopoly and a duopoly signaling games, aims to find the firm equilibrium prices. It also objects to obtain the necessary conditions that make the eco-certification effective, under the conditions that conventional goods may be labeled and eco-friendly goods sometimes fail to be labeled. The results show that although prices fail to signal ethical quality in this case, an existence of label has potential to discourage a conventional firm to certify. Namely, separating equilibrium which only an eco-friendly firm asks for label exists when an application cost is sufficiently high and the accuracy of labeling is large enough. In contrary, when the application fee is low, both types of firm may want to compete for a label.

title: A network analysis of Thai economic structure through input-output model and its link to macroeconomic fluctuation

description: This study investigates the nature of Thai economic structure and the role of industrial interdependency in shaping Thai macroeconomic fluctuation by using network analysis through input-output database. The positive relationship between network density and total value-added reveals that economic growth leads to the formation of the new industrial activities, but simultaneously increases the speed of shock transmission within the economic system as reflected by the negative relationship between average path length. By incorporating centrality analysis to identify key role sectors, it is found that banking and insurance and industrial mechainary are top influential sectors based on their ability to directly influence other industries based on closeness centrality while restaurant and hotel is considered to be the leading industry to fulfill the role of brigde-like node, connecting economic connection between other sectors as captured by betweenness centrality. Eigenvector centrality and PageRank further indicates that restaurant and hotel, transportation, and public service are among the top prominent sectors in term of their connection with other highly important industries. Moreover, the network analysis of the shape of Thai economic structure indicates that the distribution of outgoing link exhibits heavytail behavior which implies that industrial interdependency can generate or amplify exogenous shock that remain observable at macroeconomic level based on the theory of Acemoglu et al. (2012)

title: Key sectors and the propagation of economic shocks through input-output network: a case study of Thailand

description: This paper aims to identify key sectors and examines vulnerability in the economy through input-output networks connecting the economic sectors of Thailand during 1975-2010. Two approaches are employed to specify the key sectors because of different criteria selection, and two diffusion models are applied due to the nature of shocks that interrupt the economy. The lists of key sectors obtained from the two methods are different, but they play similar important roles in diffusing resources in the economy. In order to apprehend the wide diffusion of resources, the key sectors being defined by network indices could be more appropriate. This is due to the fact that these indicators are based on network analysis which can capture the global effects. For the simulation of shock diffusion mechanism, the first method involves investigating the propagation of exogenous shocks resulting from final demand within the economic system. The second technique examines the impact of changes in linkages among economic sectors by using an adaptation of a diffusion model. The evidence from the two diffusion models highlights different triggering sectors, the sector that can cause the largest impact or change in the robustness of the economy differs with different models. Consequently, this leads us to conclude that the effect of cascading failure depends on the nature of the shock experienced and the hierarchy of economic sector.

title: Getting better? Targeting performance and anti-poverty effectiveness of Di Bao Program in China

description: This paper examines Di Bao program, the largest social safety net program in China providing cash transfer to fill the income gap between family income per capita and local minimum living standard. Using the survey data from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) in 2010 and 2014 together with published administrative data, we find that the targeting performance of Di Bao has improved from 2010 to 2014 using Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) as an indicator. MPI estimation also indicates that Di Bao has a positive impact on poverty alleviation when compare MPI of program recipients in 2010 and 2014. Using Propensity Score Matching (PSM) and Difference-in-Difference (DiD) approaches, we find the anti-poverty effectiveness of the program is mainly reflected by the increase in recipients’ family income from 2010 to 2014. The medical expenditure of recipients has dropped over time, implying that the medical burden of recipients has been relieved. The savings of recipients have decreased while the non-housing debts of recipients have increased. It implies that recipients tend to spend their family income on consumption rather than saving.

title: Migration policy, remittance inflows and economic growth in Cambodia

description: Labor migration is a recent phenomenon, yet due to globalization, it has become a big issue. Therefore, it requires proper policy for harnessing labor migration and remittances to enhance economic development. With significant amount of remittances has been sent into the country, the effect of remittance inflows could not be overlooked. Therefore, our main objectives of the study are to provide brief overview of migration policy in Cambodia and Thailand and to investigate the effect of remittance and migration policy of Cambodia on economic growth in Cambodia. Employing simple regression model with data covering from 1993 to 2016, the models show that remittances and migration policy of Cambodia have positive significant impact on economic growth. The outcomes from the models indicate that remittances have contributed 0.118% to the Cambodia’s economic growth. Moreover, using migration policy in 2010 as a dummy variable, the model found that economic growth for post-policy is 0.39% higher than the pre-policy. Remittances are found to have positive significant effect on economic growth due to high increase in remittance inflows and because of the increase in uses of remitted money in productive activities such as enterprises, agriculture and healthcare in recent years. Our study is of great interest for labor economic policy makers and a good contribution to literature of migration in the case of developing countries where labor migration and remittances become an interesting topic.

title: Effects of foreign direct investment on GDP growth of Myanmar: analysis for the year of 1989-2014

description: As Myanmar is one of the developing countries, this paper investigates mainly on how FDI promotes economic growth of Myanmar in terms of GDP and what the fundamental investment policies are to unleashing FDI potential for Myanmar. To analyze the effects of FDI on GDP growth of Myanmar before and after new foreign investment law has been enacted is the main objective of this study. Annual time series data set of Myanmar were collected from many sources for the year from 1971 to 2014. The results from OLS regression obviously revealed that all the variables play an important role by explaining the gross domestic product. Moreover, the result from SWOT analysis discovered that the factors which the firms considered most important for evaluation investment climate of a host country are the political stability, followed by infrastructures, well established laws and regulations, administrative efficiency, availability of foreign exchange and low wages. From these results, it can be concluded that the effects of foreign direct investment on GDP growth of Myanmar had positively significant during the study period of 1989 to 2014. The foreign investment law and exchange rate policy were significantly effects on economic growth of Myanmar.

title: Better model selection for poverty targeting through machine learning: a case study in Thailand

description: Proxy Means Test (PMT) is the method for targeting the poor who should obtain the benefit from social programs by estimating an income or expenditure with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression using set of variables which are correlated with those welfare measurements because it is difficult to measure directly. However, the variable selection in OLS would require the stepwise regression which is time-consuming task when the set of variable is very large. Therefore, this study aims to propose the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) and Random Forest (RF) algorithms which are part of Machine Learning field to improve PMT model in terms of variable selection and model performance by focusing on the out-of-sample targeting accuracy of poor household in Thailand. The data in this study comes from Thailand Social-economic survey (SES) in 2016.The results show that PMT models based on selected variables from RF can reduce number of actual poor households that are classified as non-poor household (an exclusion error) and also increase poverty accuracy rate (target poor household as poor accurately) in the national, urban and rural levels, however, the inclusion error is still high. For the performance of PMT models based on selected variable from Stepwise regression and LASSO, are quite not different. In addition, PMT models with Stepwise regression and LASSO selected variables outperform RF selected variables in terms of reduce in an inclusion error. On the other hand, an exclusion error for PMT models based on RF selected variables is significantly one time less than PMT models using Stepwise regression and LASSO selected variables. Since, there is a trade-off between the inclusion and exclusion errors, this study suggests that if the objective of social welfare program is to help the truly poor, PMT model based on variable selection of RF is more appropriate.

title: External public debt: is it a boon or bane for Bangladesh?

description: This work analyzes the effect of external public debt on the economy of Bangladesh with the using debt overhang and crowding out hypotheses. The debt overhang theory suggests that the debt has an adverse effect on GDP. For the case of crowding out effect, it suggests that the expansion of the government sector reduces the private investment. This work used the annual data from Bangladesh which ranges from 1982-2016. Firstly the unit root property of the variables are checked followed by determining appropriate lag and Johansen cointegration test. The cointegration test suggests that VECM should be used. From the debt overhang model we found that external public debt has an adverse effect on GDP which shows the existence of debt overhang effect. From the crowding out model we found that our result that an increase in external public debt reduces private investment which confirms the existence of crowding out effect.

title: Global Healthcare Workers Migration: A Human Resource Management Concern

description: The World Health Organization estimates a deficit of approximately 2.4 million physicians, nurses, and midwives along with a need for an additional 2 million pharmacists and paramedical professionals. Compounding this crisis for the most vulnerable communities is the phenomenon healthcare worker migration. Both developed and developing nations are struggling to mitigate the immense challenges resulting from the existing shortage combined with increasing demands and diminishing supplies of healthcare providers. WHO established a Global Code of Practice with the aim of addressing the growing healthcare worker crisis. United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling on the international community to work together towards the creation of 40 million healthcare and social workers with particular focus on the expected 18 million person deficit in healthcare workers by 2030. The WHO's Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel has provided clear benefits in mitigating this growing problem most evident with the creation of 117 national authorities and being used to establish 65 bilateral agreements with respect to health worker development and migration. The healthcare workforce shortage is an ongoing crisis with global ramifications effecting developed and developing nations alike.

title: In-Apps Purchase Intention of Chinese Mobile Game Users

description: The purpose of this research is to find the relationship between dimensions of consumption value and purchase intention for the game consumption of game users. The sample of this study will be collected through Chinese internet survey company. The discussion of the study indicated that "game simulator" business model is becoming a new trend to game producers. It is profitable but also controversial. Now there still have many countries have different regulation for this business model. Because of the business model, the result from previous studies on longer fit in new trend of mobile game market. When game users know they pay for odds to get what their want means they may get nothing or something they actually don't require for. The game producers need to find out what tempt players spending their money for a "lucky draw" in game to make more profit.

title: Learning Center as Innovative Public Relation Tool for Thailand 4.0 Stakeholder Engagement 2 Case Studies : Bank of Thailand Learning Center and EGAT Learning Center

description: This paper aims to examine the role of learning center in Thailand. The two case studies were selected, Bank of Thailand Learning Center and EGAT Learning Center. Qualitative research design was used. Data collection methods were document review and in-depth interview. The result shows that learning center is an innovative public relation tool, which delivers experiential corporate communications to corporate or government organization stakeholders. In essence, learning center is an experience provider using integrated design such as environmental design, architectural design, content strategies and storytelling design to create both brand awareness and brand image. Learning center provides integrated online and offline new media, such as computer, internet, social media, games, infographic, etc. The content of learning center shows the mission, the vision and the corporate values in Thailand, all of which drive the corporate toward the creation of exhibitions and new media designs to deliver experiences to prospects. Consequently, the target audiences gain brand awareness, leading to brand preference and positive attitudes toward the corporate. By this reasoning, learning center is one of the innovative public relation tools for Thailand 4.0 stakeholder engagement.
