Abstract: This paper examines dynamic comparative advantage in textiles and clothing trade and the country specific factors that explain variations of comparative advantage among the trading nations. Comparative advantages are estimated constructing indices of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) using export shares of textiles and clothing industries over 1981-2005. The estimated RCA indices of absolute and relative change show that while comparative advantage in both textiles and clothing is tilted towards the developing economies, a number of developed high income economies possess comparative advantage over extended periods. In the second stage, RCA indices are regressed against some country specific industry characteristics such as capital/labour ratio, wage rate and industry sizes. The estimated models show significant relationship between comparative advantage and the country characteristics. Results of this study provide evidence of changes in the pattern of comparative advantage in textiles and clothing over the decades when multi fibre arrangement (MFA) type trade restrictions were in place. These evidences have implications for the trading nations in the ongoing liberalised trade regimes.

Abstract: This paper examines the long‐run relationship between residential property prices and economic policy uncertainty (EPU) in seven Australian capital cities. Using the panel nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model, we analyse the asymmetric effect of EPU on Australian house and apartment (unit) prices over the period 2001–2021. The EPU is found to affect property prices negatively however, the effects of the positive changes in EPU are larger than those of the negative changes in EPU. The evidence of asymmetric effects is particularly strong for unit prices. Our results reveal that interest rates, construction costs and housing loans also drive the long‐run price trends.

Abstract: This study re-examines whether the structure of share ownership by both directors and institutional ownership provides explanation for firm performances. These relationships are modelled and estimated using GMM based dynamic panel data over a period from 1997 to 2001 with a s le of 100 CI components companies listed on Main Board of Malaysia. The findings provide strong evidence of simultaneity between firm performance and managerial ownership. Although an insignificant relationship between firm performance and institutional ownership is observed, the institutional holdings provide strong substitute for managerial ownership with a strong negative relationship between managerial ownership and institutional ownership. This is in line with the managerial incentive hypothesis, which suggests that manager’s share in the firm’s ownership leads to better performance and the monitoring substitute hypothesis, which suggests that managerial ownership could be effectively replaced by institutional ownership.

Abstract: This study examines whether the structure of share ownership or firm’s idend and debt policies provide explanation for firm performances in Malaysia. Firm performance, measured as Tobin’s Q is modelled in a dynamic panel framework to estimate effects of director ownership, family ownership, foreign ownership, and firm’s idend and debt policy. The generalised methods of moments (GMM) method is used to estimated the models for 80 CI components companies listed on Main Board of Malaysia observed from 1999 to 2002. The findings reveal strong evidence of positive impact of firm’s idend and debt policy on firm performance. However, ownership structure seems to be less important for market based performance of Malaysian firms. These results are expected to provide guidelines to the investors regarding the significance of firm idend policy, leverage policy and market to book value ratio as some of the key sources of value creation for Malaysian listed firms.
