Abstract: This paper examines how obstacles in access to finance, labour regulations, and employment quality affect employment growth and the permanent worker ratio at the firm level. Using firm-level data of 11,691 firms in 33 low-income and middle-income countries in Europe and Central Asia, where unemployment rates are the highest worldwide, this paper demonstrates that access to finance and employment quality obstacles hinder employment growth. The paper also shows that the greater the obstacles in access to finance and labour regulations, the lower the permanent worker ratio. The findings are robust when applying a two-stage least-squares method to address endogeneity issues. Furthermore, quantile regression analysis shows that access to finance obstacles impede the lowest-growth firms the most and the highest-growth firms the least. Our results indicate that significant financial and regulatory reforms are needed to spur sustainable employment growth.

Abstract: Economic sustainability is closely linked to firm growth and employment stability, making them of great interest to policymakers and business leaders. Insights into the factors that impact employment growth and employment stability aid decision makers to develop policies that encourage economic growth and economic sustainability. This study used World Bank Enterprise Survey data to examine the effect of the business obstacles of financing, labour regulation, and under-skilled workforce on firm growth and on employment stability, estimated by the proportion of permanent to non-permanent workforce in East Asia and Pacific nations. The instrumental variables (IV) method was used with two-stage least squares (2SLS) to account for potential endogeneity between the business obstacles and employment growth and the proportion of permanent to non-permanent workers employed by firms. In addition, the quantile method was applied to capture the partial effect of the reported obstacles across different segments of firm growth. Findings included a significant negative effect of the financing obstacle on employment growth and therefore firm growth, particularly at the lowest levels thereof. In addition, financing and labour regulations obstacles have a significant, negative effect on the proportion of permanent employees in a firm’s workforce.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether the factors that summarise the information in the yield curves of Australia and the USA can predict changes in the Australian–USA exchange rate (i.e. the AUD/USD rate) and Australian dollar excess returns. The paper extracts the three Nelson–Siegel factors (level, slope and curvature) from the relative yield curve of Australia with the USA to predict changes in the bilateral exchange rate and excess returns on the Australian dollar. The full s le regressions allow for a shift in the coefficient on the relative curvature factor which can account for the impact of the Fed’s changed monetary policy to one of quantitative easing. The paper finds that the relative curvature factor strongly predicts changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate and Australian dollar excess returns out to 12 months ahead in the s le that precedes the Fed’s policy of quantitative easing. The relative curvature factor retains its predictive power in the full s le regressions but anticipates smaller exchange rate changes and excess currency returns in in-s le predictions made from August 2007. The yield curves of Australia and the USA reliably reflect investor’s expectations about prospective monetary policies in each economy. The paper investigates the predictive content of the relative Nelson–Siegel factors for changes in the AUD/USD exchange rate and for Australian dollar excess returns over various forecast horizons for a period that covers the Fed’s policy of quantitative easing.

Abstract: – The purpose of this paper is to explore some of the implications for curriculum design by operationalizing threshold concepts and capabilities (TCC) in subject delivery. The motivation for undertaking this exploration is directly related to addressing public concerns for the business school curriculum. – A post facto analysis of a compulsory subject in finance that is part of an Australian business degree and the impact on a subsequent finance subject. – Customary approaches to granting part-marks in assessing students, (fractionalising) understanding of content can mean students pass subjects without grasping foundational concepts (threshold concepts) and are therefore not fully prepared for subsequent subjects. – Students passing subjects through fractionalization are poorly equipped to undertake deeper explorations in related subjects. If replicated across whole degree programs students may graduate not possessing the attributes claimed for them through their qualification. The implications for undermining public trust and confidence in qualifications are profound and disturbing. – The literature has exposed risks associated with operationalizing threshold through assessments. This highlights a risk to public trust in qualifications. – Operationalizing threshold concepts is an underexplored field in curriculum theory. The importance of operationalizing customary approaches to assessments through fractionalising marks goes to the legitimacy and integrity of qualifications granted by higher education. Operationalizing assessments for TCC presents profound, inescapable and essential challenges to the legitimacy of award granting institutions.
