Dimensions of financial integration in Greater China: money markets, banks and policy effects

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FINANCE & ECONOMICS, Issue 2 2005
Yin-Wong Cheung
Abstract The financial linkages between the People's Republic of China (hereafter ,China') and the other Greater China economies of Hong Kong and Taiwan are assessed, and compared against those of China with Singapore, Japan and the United States. For both sets of links, there is evidence that ex post uncovered interest parity tends to hold over longer periods, and the magnitude of the parity deviations is shrinking over time. The deviations depend upon the extent of capital controls, and in certain cases, exchange rate volatility. However, while the money markets of China are increasingly linked to money markets in the rest of the world, our empirical results suggest that the banking sector,the main source of capital for Chinese firms,remains insulated.

One therapist, four cultures: working with families in Greater China

JOURNAL OF FAMILY THERAPY, Issue 3 2002
Yung Lee
Rather than addressing ethnicity through a pre,set cultural lens, I discuss how my experiences as a family therapy trainer in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Shanghai taught me to understand culture through the lens of the family. Similarities and differences among these cultural domains were reviewed. I also demonstrate how each encounter shaped my emotional responses and ways of intervention in the course of family interviews. Even though I belong to the same ethnic background, I had to interact differently in different arenas, despite my cultural values and theoretical orientation. [source]


Otra Empanada en la Parilla: Examining the Role of Culture and Information Sharing in Chile and Australia

JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT & ACCOUNTING, Issue 1 2008
Stephen B. Salter
One of the biggest assets of a firm is its information base. Included in this information base is a knowledge of prior errors and failures. Extant research suggests that while the propensity to share "bad news" (i.e. a prior error) is dependent on the cost of sharing, the perceived value of that cost may be culturally dependent. One area of interest that has received substantial attention in the prior literature has been cross-cultural differences in negative information sharing in general, as well as the particular context in which the individual's superior is either present or absent during the information-sharing process. Our study examines the role of the two cultural values (individualism/collectivism and to a lesser extent power distance) in explaining national differences in information sharing. By focusing on a sample from Chile and Australia, we were able to remove the regional cultural dimension of face, which has been inherent in prior studies that used Greater China as the representative of a collectivist society. Results from our quasi experiment show that when a supervisor is present during information sharing, collectivist Chilean decision-makers are more willing to share negative information with their colleagues than their counterpart and individualist Australian decision-makers. Our results also show that when a supervisor is absent, both Australian and Chilean decision-makers are willing to share more negative information but the increase in the Australian propensity is significantly greater than that of the Chileans.

Globalization, Global History and Local Identity in ,Greater China'

HISTORY COMPASS (ELECTRONIC), Issue 4 2010
Q. Edward Wang
This article offers a brief contour of the differing interests in, and engagements with, the study of globalization and global history in mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. It argues that in the face of the onrush of globalization, each of these three regions, under the rubric of ,Greater China', has developed and adopted distinct strategies to perceive and interpret its multifaceted impact. Scholars, movie makers and journalists in mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong have appropriated different meanings of globalization and engaged with its multifarious impacts from their own localized concerns and interests. Globalization has generated more dialogues among the three entities and helped highlight their differences. [source]
