Martin-Medina, Manuel. "Tsunami wave interaction with a coastal structure: : Focus on the Tohoku tsunami case and the flip-through impact." Thesis, Pau, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PAUU3047/document.
Full textDuring the Tohoku tsunami in 2011, field surveys of the east coast of Japan showed the weakness of coastal defences, as even the world largest tsunami breakwater (Kamaishi) almost completely collapsed due to this event. In this PhD, the aim is to investigate the interaction between breakwaters, the most common offshore coastal structures protecting urban areas and harbour entries, and waves and especially tsunami waves.In the first part of the work, the generation of undular bores in the near-shore area of Sendai during the Tohoku event is numerically investigated with the numerical model BOSZ (Boussinesq-type model). It is shown that the second wave, which stroke the coast during this event, transformed into an undular bore, whereas the first wave did not due to steepness differences. Tsunami loads, moments and bearing stress applied on the offshore breakwater of the Soma Port are calculated using two models: BOSZ and THETIS (Navier-Stokes VOF model). BOSZ results are compared to THETIS for the tsunami wave-breakwater interaction. The impact study is carried out at a relatively large scale aiming to have a first estimation of tsunami efforts. Then, a numerical experiment using THETIS is carried out to investigate flip-through impacts on vertical breakwaters. This non-aerated wave impact is considered as the most severe type of impact in the literature (e.g. Cooker & Peregrine (1992), Hofland et al. (2011)) in terms of maximum pressure generated. The influence of the front interface on the impact dynamics and the pressure induced is analysed in a realistic breakwater configuration. Solitary waves are used to obtain three characteristic flip-through impacts involving least steep, medium steep and steepest wave front. The flow field and pressure inside the porous rubble mound are then investigated as well as horizontal and uplift forces applied on the breakwater caisson. The last part of this study is devoted to the stability of breakwater caissons submitted to flip-through impacts. The latter are here assimilated to water wedges (e.g. Cumberbatch (1960), Kihara et al. (2015)). This simple approach allows to formulate a semi-analytical model to predict caisson motion due to this type of impacts. After validation with numerical results, the water wedge method gives rich informations about forces, motion duration and sliding distance depending on the wave impact characteristics and breakwater caisson dimensions

Sustainable disaster recovery is increasingly understood as a comprehensive process that extends beyond physical reconstruction to include efforts to improve the affected communities' ability to adapt, respond and be more resilient in the face of future emergencies. Additionally, the success of such a complex endeavor requires overseeing agencies to act with speed and efficiency but without compromising the government's safeguards and integrity. Coordinating agencies deployed after emergencies fulfill the efficiency requirement but falter on the other two, while reconstruction through permanent government sometimes lacks speed. I postulate that Implementing Temporary Organizations (ITO) can be a solution. Due to their unique characteristics (experimentation, flexibility, limited duration, smaller size and creation by new regulation), ITOs can be an ideal vehicle for experimentation within the restrictions that regulate government action. They can also be used as laboratories for new governance practices, which once tested and adapted, can be 'absorbed' back by a permanent organization, making more resilient in the future. To explore this hypothesis, this thesis looks at Indonesia's Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR), an ITO in charge of the reconstruction in Aceh and Nias after the devastating tsunami of 2004 and earthquake of 2005 which gained worldwide recognition for its results in rebuilding physical infrastructure. This research looks at how the BRR approached the challenge of training local government officials: instead of traditional capacity-building programs, the BRR's approach to capacity development was the adoption of staff and the creation whole units within the Agency (staffed by locals) which were later 'transplanted' back to the regional government. I find evidence that the BRR's structure as an ITO facilitated experimentation and accelerated its teaching processes in ways not possible for a permanent government or a development agency. Many of the innovations that grew out of this environment were later institutionalized within the local and national government in Indonesia, strengthening them in the long term. These findings demonstrate ITOs are an effective way to manage disaster recovery efforts, and are even helpful in serving as laboratories to produce new knowledge and drive change in permanent organizations.

Full textThe objectives of this thesis were to identify the magnitude of the ATMPs pipeline, to assess the budget impact of ATMPs and to suggest new funding models for ATMPs in order to help decision-makers to anticipate the hypothetical short and medium term budget impact of such products. The magnitude of ATMPs pipeline was evaluated by identifying the number and characteristics of ATMPs clinical trials in 3 worldwide clinical trials databases. A large number of ATMPs are in development (939 clinical trials) and may successfully reach the market. Overall, the results showed that the number of ATMPs clinical trials has been consistently growing over the past 15 years. The budget impact of ATMPs was assessed. Markov models were developed to assess the cost-effectiveness and budget impact for ATMPs using 5 efficacy scenarios in Parkinson disease, Alzheimer’s disease and heart failure. Then, an estimation of the budget impact of 35 ATMPs was conducted suggesting that an ATMP can cure all patients. We have shown in this chapter that a cost-effective ATMP may be unaffordable; payers will not be able to pay upfront the costs of all ATMPs. The traditional funding models may not be adaptable for ATMPs. The proposed funding models for innovative high-cost therapies were identified through a literature review, discussed during a consensus meeting and an optimal funding model for ATMPs was recommended.Finally, health policy recommendations for the stakeholders – patients, physicians, payers and manufacturers – are presented. These recommendations aim to help to ensure patient access to innovation while maintaining the sustainability of healthcare system

Full textThis thesis deals with tsunami modeling, from the large propagation scales to impacts on coastal structures. Aninventory of the associated physical phenomena is given and some adequat models are presented. A numericalstudy is carried out with the Saint-Venant model with the devellopment of an automatic refinment adaptivemesh method. The resolution efficiency and simplicity is justified. To increase the accuracy forecasts, anoriginal system which approximates the Serre-Green-Naghdi model is investigated. A breaking wave methodassociated with this model is proposed. This dissipative model allows thinking about accurate dispersive nonlinear tsunamis simulations up to the coast. Several wave impacts on stuctures are investigated with a generaltwo-phase model allowing separate phases as well as aerated impact studies. The all Mach regime numericaldifficulties are investigated. A new all Mach scheme with limited total variation bound is proposed. Thanks tothis approach, incompressible and compressible impacts are investigated with the same model. Aerated impactsare shown to give smaller impact pressure but on longer time than pure fluid impacts. In spite that the all Machscheme proposed reduces the numerical oscillations of classical literature preconditionning, some unphysicaloscillations are highlighted on some test cases. At the end, a coupling method is proposed in order to accuratlymodel the propagation and the impact of a tsunami with appropriated models for each phases

Full textAs the most powerful event in Lombok’s recent eruptive history, volcanic materials thatwere expelled by the Samalas volcano in 1257 CE covered the entire of Lombok Islandand are widespread in its eastern part. Almost 800 years after the eruption, the geomorphological impact of this eruption on the island of Lombok remains unknown,whereas its overall climatic and societal consequences are now better understood. Acombination of stratigraphic information, present-day topography, geophysical measurement with two-dimensional resistivity profiling technique, local written sources,as well as laboratory and computational analysis, were used to obtain detailed information concerning geomorphic impacts of the 1257 CE eruption of Samalas volcano on the coastal area along the Alas Strait in West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. This study provides new information related to the geomorphic impact of amajor eruption volcanic in coastal areas, in this case, on the eastern part of Lombok and the western coast of Sumbawa. In the first place, the study result shows that since the 1257 CE eruption, the landscape on the eastern part of Lombok is still evolved untilthe present time. The volume of the 1257 CE volcanic material remains about 14% from the initial volume. Secondly, the discovery of Babad Suwung provides additional explanation of Samalas eruption and may become the oldest visual observation of pyroclastic surges and volcanic fallout, following those by Pliny the Younger in 79 CE. Finally, the 1257 CE eruption of Samalas volcano has proven triggered a minor tsunami that hit Belang Island, on the west coast of Sumbawa

Full textFlank collapses are destructive phenomena affecting volcanoes no matter their geodynamical context. In this thesis, we focus on the case of a flank collapse episode that occured at Kick'em Jenny submarine volcano. The main goal of this thesis is to assess the dynamical behaviour of the flow generated by the flank collapse episode at the proto-edifice. To do so, we first estimate volume involved in the collapse. The collapse event is simulated using VolcFlow, a model based on depth-averaged approximation of the St-Venant equations. Two rheological models are tested so that we can evaluate which one is most appropriate to reproduce the dynamical behaviour of the flow and the deposit features. Tsunamigenic effect at the source (local effect) is investigated by simulation tests using both VolcFlow and TOPICS (code providing tsunami source parameters from collapse characteristics). At last the regional tsunamigenic effect due to wave propagation towards the neighbouring islands is assessed using FUNWAVE, a Boussinesq-based model of wave propagation

Full textEste estudio analiza la distribución espacial del impacto recibido en la vivienda, así como las áreas intervenidas por parte del Estado tras el terremoto y tsunami del 27 de febrero de 2010. Su propósito es definir y analizar los patrones de distribución territorial de la gestión del Estado en la Región del Biobío, proceso que hasta agosto de 2014 aun no finaliza. La metodología involucró el análisis espacial de las 54 comunas de la Región del Biobío afectadas por el sismo de acuerdo a criterios de diferenciación socioespacial. Se trabajó sobre la base de tres variables presuntamente asociadas pero independientes entre sí: 1) impacto en la vivienda, según el tipo de daño recibido, 2) número de familias organizadas en comités de viviendas, y 3) cobertura de la gestión del Estado en materia de reconstrucción, según la información sobre viviendas reconstruidas. Como primer resultado, se obtuvo una matriz general de datos para las 54 comunas de la región, a partir de la información sobre viviendas afectadas, destruidas y reconstruidas, así como también de la participación social de la población damnificada. De este modo, a través del análisis espacial se identificaron disociaciones territoriales entre las zonas con alto impacto con respecto a la direccionalidad de las soluciones otorgadas por el Estado. Las grandes urbes de la región, aparecen como las zonas menos afectadas, pero mayormente asistidas. Por el contrario, las comunas de menor tamaño expresan un mayor impacto pero una baja asistencia por parte del Estado. En estas tendencias, la participación de la sociedad civil ha resultado ser clave en comunas que expresaron una reconstrucción eficiente. Por otro lado, si el proceso de reconstrucción se hubiese intentado direccionar tomando en cuenta el valor porcentual de viviendas destruidas, las zonas de mayor atención debieron haber sido orientadas hacia la macrozona de la zona norte de la región y la pre-Cordillera de Los Andes, de norte a sur. A partir de los resultados expuestos es posible señalar la necesidad de reforzar aún más los programas dirigidos e implementados por el Estado que propendan a fortalecer la organización social, así como considerar el desarrollo equitativo de ciudades, tanto en el contexto de grandes centros metropolitanos, como de localidades urbanas secundarias. Se espera que los resultados del presente estudio, constituyan un diagnóstico útil para la sustentación de programas, proyectos y políticas diferenciadas en virtud a las respuestas derivadas del proceso de reconstrucción, el que aun no finaliza.

The research finding of Chen-Min Hsu shows that the U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis in the first half of 2008 was one of the reasons causing oil and raw material index price to rise and subsequent international financial tsunami which resulted in credit contraction, declining demand of commodity market, and insufficient consumer confidence. Under the conditions of global oil price increase, the exhaustion of energy resources, and the global warming, all foci are on energy. The price of energy has affected the global economic growth and attracts investors’ money. This study uses five energy funds issued in Taiwan to analyze their Returns, Sharpe index, Treynor index. In addition, this study uses three Var evaluation methods,namely Variance-Covariance Approach , Historical Simulation , and Monte Carlo Simulation . Research finding show that the performances of Investec GSF Glbl Energy C Inc Grs USD are best which also associate with higher risk. Moreover, this research divides the whole period into before, during, and after the finance crisis periods to study the performance and risk. Research findings show that before the crisis period (Jan.1, 2005-DEC.31,2006), the performance of BGF New Energy C2 USD are best with lower risk in favor of investors. During the crisis period(Jan.1, 2007-DEC.31,2008), the performance and risk are the worst with low return and high risk. After the crisis(Jan.1, 2009-DEC.31,2010), the performance of Investec GSF Glbl Energy C Inc Grs USD are best which shows the fluctuation of energy stock is the highest and can easier be affected by the stock. Based on the above findings, we think investors could use the characteristics of taiwan’s energy performance and risk, the research period, different investment objectives, and different research methods to get research results closer to the realty. Theoretically, performance and risk show positive correlations. But investors could use the research finding of this study to pursue higher performance and lower risk investment so investor could pursue energy fund in a higher oil price environment.

The Indian Ocean experienced a devastating Asian tsunami damaged in the morning of 26th December 2004. This study uses a market-adjusted returns model of event study to analyze abnormal returns in Thailand’s tourism industry. The study differs from other pervious studies of market reactions to unanticipated in cross-country. We also investigate reaction on tourism stock market after Asian tsunami attack. Taiwan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia from June 2004 to March 2005. In addition, this research compares difference on the abnormal returns in tourism and leisure, transportation and logistics, insurance, construction materials and construction development industries in Thailand from June 2004 to March 2005. We examine the stock market reaction for 135 days ago and draw out four day ago and 15 days later on the Asian tsunami happened. The result shows partial significant negative stock abnormal for tourism and leisure industry in Thailand. On the other hand, there are partial significant positive stock returns in the construction development and construction materials industries after tsunami attacked. There is no significant level to stand for the critical influence to Taiwan, Hong Kong, New Zealand and Australia.

The research used five GARCH models and six residual distribution functions to study the volatility forecasts of Taiwan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong stock price indexes during the financial crisis. The effects of error distribution function and trading volume on the volatility forecasting are studied in this research. The squared returns of five minutes intraday data were used as the volatility proxy variables. The Poon and Granger (2003) and Brownlees (2011) rolling window estimation structure method is used as the estimation method of this study. Following Patton (2011), the loss functions are estimated by a combination of imperfect fluctuations in the proxy variables and the robust loss function MSE and QLIKE. QLIKE is not affected by the extreme value of a tail. Therefore, the main loss function selected in this research was mainly from QLIKE with MSE function as the supplement. The paired comparison method and multi-model comparison method were used in the comparisons of loss functions, in which the former employed the Giacomini and White (2006) test (G-W test) and the latter employed the model confidence set (MCS) by Hansen et al. (2011). In the paired comparison between skewed residual distribution and standard residual distribution of GARCH models, both with and without the volume time series in the model, the error distribution functions must be standard when the volatility forecasting performances Taiwan and Hong Kong stock markets are statistically significantly better. Therefore, when using different GARCH models for volatility prediction, it is necessary to consider the variations in different error distribution functions during the global financial crisis. In the case of Taiwan stock market models with trading volume in the skewed distribution, except the EGARCH model, the results were all out of the Model Confidence Set. Different from Taiwan, in the case of Shanghai stock market models with trading volume in the skewed distribution, except the EGARCH model, the results were all in Model Confidence Set. Except EGARCH model, adding trading volume in the models could improve the volatility forecasting in the Hong Kong stock market. Therefore, in the comparison of the volatility predictions of skewed and standard error distributions, there is no consistent conclusion that skewed distribution is better in prediction. The GARCH-type models with trading volume have poor performance of out-of-sample volatility forecasting in Taiwan and Shanghai stock market. However, models with trading volume can improve the volatility forecasting in Hong Kong stock market.

The structure of the global financial system has changed significantly in the past decade. Banks create credit liquidity through securitization, and also increase bank's risk simultaneously. As credit defaults rising continuously, the financial corporation face the financial crisis causes from subprime mortgage collapse. Such a vicious circle phenomenon affects not only the financial system, but also influence the industries and global economy. The influence of this financial crisis occurs so fast and tremendous that is called financial tsunami by scholars. This dissertation adopts the economy data of global countries from the database of IMF and World Bank. The cluster analysis are used to classify global countries into several groups according to their economical status, geographic location, and country scale. After clustering, the ANOVA and the multiple comparison procedures are followed to compare the influence level of the financial tsunami with respect to the groups of countries. Several results are described below: Firstly, the global economic growth rate of 2009 is worse than that of 2008. Secondly, annual inflation rate of 2009 is significantly lower than that of 2008. Thirdly, economic growth rate of the countries with high export proportion has greater adverse effect from the financial tsunami. Fourthly, the countries with high import proportion have higher inflation rate. Fifthly, the economic growth rate of the countries with higher proportion of external debt have worse effect than the countries with lower external debt proportion. Sixthly, the influences of financial tsunami are not related with the population and scale of the country.

March 12, 2007 New Century Financial Corporation declared bankruptcy. At that time U.S. sub-prime mortgage crisis was brewing. This caused financial tsunami effects throughout the world with devastating economic consequences such as collapse of consumer/investor confidence which resulted in severe global economic downturn. It also dragged Taiwan into deep recession. The stock market dropped steeply. Personal and corporate wealth sharply slumped. Being a representative of developmental states, government used to play an essential role and adapted all the policy with emphasized in certain industry. For example; machine tool industry, the semiconductor industry, TFT-LCD panel industry. At the perspective of industry clusters, this study explores how machinery and equipment industry in Taiwan was affected by financial tsunami, which includes machine tool industry, the semiconductor industry, and TFT-LCD panel industry. The subjects were categorized into two groups, traditional equipment and electronic equipment. These two groups were researched respectively how they were affected by the financial tsunami and how they react to the crisis with views of market concentration, customer concentration, technology intensity, and product line breadth.

The human history has witnessed and record several panic phenomena for the world’s economy, including the economy downturn of U.S. in 1930s, the Asian financial crisis caused by Japan’s bubbling economy and Thailand’s financial crisis in late 1980s, and the global crisis caused by U.S. subprime lending crisis in 2008 and all the financial tsunami have brought bankruptcy and closure of financial institutes or enterprises, global economy downturn, national property shrinkage, lay-offs, reduced payment and unemployment etc. The global financial crisis was unavoidable and every nation has taken relevant measures after a tense nerve. The advanced development of science & technology has resulted in gradual dissolved geographic territory—a “global village” and the threat of one nation can be spread to other nations rapidly for a more widely-spread and deeper impact. The long-term neglect of economy security to global development has deepened the threat and people should highly focus on the problem after a globalization trend. The “open-up and reform” policy mainland China adopted since 1980s has promoted the economic development rapidly and created a large-scale of wealth for the nation and its people. The mainland has adopted other policies for a new round of macro-economic control and increasing domestic demand to maintain economic growth rate during the worldwide financial crisis and thus made China the hope for saving the global economy. The business opportunity from increasing domestic demand is a chance for Taiwan—mainland’s frequently-cooperated partner on economy and trade. The mainland and Taiwan experienced tangle due to political reasons during the past and the relationship has been improved significantly since the open policy. Since both governments planned promoting cross-strait cooperation and the two parties signed Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) for a closer relationship on economy and trade. The complements from the cross-strait partners can create a new economic format in future.

The 2008 financial tsunami shook the global economic landscape. This study set out to determine the impact – if any – the tsunami had on the return volatility of hedge funds, and how this impacts hedge fund risk control and investment decisions, as this had yet to be determined within the academic and business fields. This was done through applying the methodology of autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) and generalized ARCH (GARCH) models. In order to determine whether the specific event of the financial tsunami has had a significant prolonged impact on the volatility of the data, a dummy variable was set to distinguish the data by the event. Before the event, the dummy variable was set to be zero; after the event, the dummy variable was set to be one. Of the six Hedge Fund Research (HFR) indices’ return volatilities investigated, three (Equity Market Neutral, Relative Value Arbitrage, and Absolute Return) were found to have increased after the financial tsunami, one (Global Hedge Fund) was found to have the decreased, and two (Equity Hedge and Macro) were found to have not been significantly impacted by the tsunami. For those return volatilities that were impacted by the tsunami, the study determined that the model to be used should be the GARCH model which includes the dummy variable, in order to allow hedge fund managers and investors to more precisely make risk-control limitation allocations and conduct return-risk trade-off judgements. For the Equity Hedge and Macro indices, the original GARCH model should be used.

Financial crisis 2008, also called “Financial Tsunami”, broke in the US and other Western and Asia economies. No doubt, the tremendous financial crisis shock caused not only global economic depression but also result in negative effect in economic development in particular countries. This crisis is more serious than previous experiences, and may take even longer. Many economic forecasts seem unclear for the present economic disaster. It is obviously to see many emerging markets, such as Taiwan and Southeast Asian countries, will continue to grow slower. Since many Taiwan’s manufacturers have switched their production bases to mainland China, they suffer great decline both on export orders and industry productivity. It reflected significant impact especially on the export growth in overall; the lacking of domestic consumption and the lower demand for exports. With so many economic uncertainties, it is important to discuss how we can take reform efforts for reinforcing business sustainability, and which policy should be adopted in order to expand highly profitable businesses. The study uses Sea Freight Forwarding as an example. It explores the following issues through interviewing with some managers of Taiwan’s freight forwarding industries: 1. The operational difficulties under current market situations 2. What kinds of risk management strategies can be adopted at present stage 3. What kinds of customer service can be provided 4. The guide performing on-the-job training to their employees 5. What are the effective strategies in marketing and customer relationship management This study also discusses the practices freight forwarding businesses and their challenges. The result of this study aims to provide reference for ocean freight forwarding businesses while working out their operational strategies in order to overcome global economic depression during these years. Keywords: Financial crisis, ocean freight forwarders, business strategies.

The financial tsunami, extended from the financial to the essential aspect, swept the whole world in 2008. With consumption grinding to a halt and a downturn in world trade, the export industry in Taiwan has borne the brunt of these events, causing a recession, which has said to be the toughest ordeal of the decade in Taiwan industry. Currently, the “quality” instead of the “quantity” of employees has became the main concern for corporate. Therefore, making employees the company’s investment—and not liabilities—puts managers’ wistom to a test. It has been found in relevant literature that the key to corporate competition and corporate value resides in intellectual capital, with human capital being the primary and crucial component. Many companies have turned to lay-off policy during this financial tsunami. And how will intellectual capital change along with the shift in human capital? The executives will have to use a model to measure intellectual capital efficiency as a referrance for managerial decisions when reincorporating the company’s inner resources to make duely adjustments and develop its competitive niche. Intellectual capital, underlying competitive advantage for corporations, accumulates over time. Great changes cannot be expected within a short period of time. But as corporates continue to trim their workforce in the face of financial tsunami, the change in intellectual capital has been more than ever. That is why this study uses data envelopment analysis as method for evaluating corporate intellectual capital and efficiency analysis. We did a case study of a company of its monthly data between January 2007 and September 2009, a total of 33 months, so as to hurry grasp the shift and modification of corporate competitiveness towards sustainable management in the course of time.

This research focuses the impact of exchange rate volatility on Taiwan’s exports before and after financial tsunami. Using GARCH model the volatility of exchange rate is estimated in the beginning, following by export equation for further calculation. We use monthly data covers from JAN., 2005 to FEB., 2011 in this study. Taiwan is a county which highly depend on export trading and tend to be affected by sub-prime mortgage crisis. The empirical study shows that exchange rate volatilities do have effect on Taiwan’s exports.

The study conducts a bullwhip effect analysis on Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. We divide the semiconductor industry into three sub-industries namely: IC design and wafer foundries (IC), testing and packing (PT), and electronic component (EP) to present upper-stream, middle -stream, and down-stream in semiconductor industry respectively. The examining period is from January of 2006 to December of 2010. In the descriptive statistic analysis, we find that the coefficient of variation of IC is greater than PT’s, and PT’s coefficient of variation is greater than EP’s. The empirical results are shown as following: (1) the difference of the logarithm in the series is stationary when the unit root test is conducted. (2) the minimum value of Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is found at the lag 8. (3) the high value of R-squared, implying highly explanatory powers among three variables(with lag terms) from the Vector Autoregressive Regression (VAR) analysis. (4) the causality is found from down-stream industry to upper-stream industry in the Granger Causality Test. (5) from Impulse Response Function Analysis (IRF): the response of design and wafer foundries to the shocked in electronic component is greater than the response of electronic component to the shocked in design and wafer foundries. The study finds a significant bull-effect in Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. Since large portion of Taiwan industrial products is from electronic related industries such as semiconductor, any shock from consumer electronic product could have large impacts on semiconductor, and Taiwan economy is suffered deeply. Therefore the diversification of Taiwan industrial structure is needed to reduce the loss from the immediate shock such as the Financial Tsunami.

Following the recent financial crisis when investors lost confidence in the value of loan securities, many companies have begun to change their business approach, methods, and strategies. While corporates pursue profits, the general public has focused on environmental protection, with an increasing emphasis on corporate social responsibility (CSR). This article thus discusses corporate governance after the recent financial crisis and its relationship with corporate performance by adding in the CSR variable. The empirical study investigates the top 50 Taiwanese electronics companies as denoted by Commonwealth Magazine, which are listed on the Taiwan Composite Stock Exchange or in the Over the Counter (OTC) market over the period 2009-2014. Company data come from the Taiwan Economic Journal (TEJ) Database, while CSR winners are from Wealth Magazine CSR Awards. This study mainly employs descriptive statistical analysis, correlation analysis, and regression analysis, with empirical results showing that corporate governance and corporate performance do have a significant relationship. In ROA, the cross effect of shareholding ratio and CSR is supported empirically, while in ROE, the cross effect of the largest shareholder ratio and CSR is supported empirically. Through the adjustment factor of CSR, managers are able to understand its deeper meaning and its correlation to corporate governance. While CSR activities cost companies a lot of time and money, fulfilling such social responsibility benefits are reflected in a company’s financial performance and can be used as a useful reference for decision-making.

The study mainly focuses on how mutual fund investors’ risk attributes, including risk tolerance, investment behavior, and reliance on financial consultants, are affected after the experience of the financial tsunami taking place in 2008. Mutual fund investors are divided into two categories: general investors and wealth management practitioners. Empirical results show that general investors become more conservative while wealth management practitioners remain active after the experience of the financial tsunami. After the financial tsunami, mutual fund investors narrow their bounds of realizing gains and losses and execute their orders more effectively, and that results in a lowered disposition effect. Previous studies indicate that investors reduce their trust on financial consultants after the financial tsunami. We find a contrast for the financial consultants in government-owned banks versus privately-owned banks: an increase in trust for the former while a decrease in trust for the latter after the financial tsunami. Finally, financial consultants loss confidence on their own profession after the tsunami.

ABSTRACT The global economic had been strongly influenced by the financial Tsunami, which starts the financial crisis in August 9, 2007. Since the subprime mortgage erupts and causes a succession of economic storm, the investors lose the confidence to the mortgage backed security. This event becomes the liquidity crisis, even if the central bank of many countries infuses the large amount fund to the financial market many times, the financial crisis still happened. Until 2008, the financial crisis starts out of control: the global stock market falls suddenly; many large-scale financial organs go out of business or are taken over control by the government. The Iceland even therefore goes bankrupt. After these events, many international investment banks goes out of business, the insurance company appears significant difficulty on management. The business model and the role localization should be pondered by the insurance company. In this financial Tsunami, American International Group (AIG) suffered the heavy losses. The AIG will go out of business if the government didn’t offer support. Except AIG, there are some large-scale insurance companies suffered the heavy losses in Europe and England. But there still some insurance companies with the same scale hadn’t come under the serious influence, for instance, the Prudential Financial (PRU). In this study, the reason forms the finance Tsunami will be discussed. The influences to the overall insurance business will also be made a comprehensive discussion in this study. This study is using the AIG and PRU as examples to discuss the reasons which enable two companies having such difference in this big Tsunami. The management idea, the management strategy and the financial report will be compared with AIG and PRU item by item. And try to finding the connection between the difference and management achievements, and also understanding the influences in company long-term development, management model and trade development by management idea and management strategy. AIG Corporation doesn’t narrate their management idea especially, so the company development has been following the opportunity. Because of no management idea, the management development is depended on the management strategy which is growing primarily, that is the service multiplication can enhance the overall company achievement stability. Therefore, AIG strengthens the life insurance service on the one hand; on the other hand, AIG speeds up entering the foreign insurance market and infiltrates 130 countries successfully. AIG Corporation has formed a defined expansion mentality gradually, which expanses to the domain of using the AAA rating, the abundant capital, the risk management skill and the intelligence capital. Under this expansion management strategy, the AIG Corporation decides to establish the American International Group Financial Products (AIGFP), enters the emerging derivative finance commodity market. Plants defeat’s seed. PRU thought that the enterprise management is a marathon, not a dash. In a marathon match, the personality and the moral character are more important than the technology. The moral character is more important especially in the unusual time; it is the key that makes the enterprise managing for a long time. Regarding PRU, “the talented person” who has the “engaged in the mind service” ability, who must have likewise the heart to the customer, who understands the customer’s demands, who always put the customer benefit first, and who makes the correct decision. Such personality, will not walk the shortcut because of the environment change in the unusual period, in addition the specialized technology, that’s why the service having “the quality.” The PRU management strategy makes its development way not expands outward, but increases the depth, starting from the staff’s moral specialty and the quality promotion. Which provides the customer to be more intimate, conforms to the demand product and the service, hoped that maintains longer-term relations with the customer. The different idea and the strategy make the corporate culture, the organizational structure, the development direction different. Business achievement has the enormous difference, so the company should have the explicit management idea establishment the main axle consensus building to be able the long-term stability development.

Affected by global financial tsunami, because of the product of collateral bond obligation (CBO) occupied great market share in Taiwan. Therefore, most CBO products that combined offshore derivates or bonds had endured huge impact; investors also lose their will of investment to CBO products relatively. Due to the effect of financial tsunami in Taiwan CBO securitisation market, the application of issuing CBO has reduced rapidly. The Main purpose of this essay will discuss of the participation in CBO, which include the effect of different designed models and structures, the risk factors and damage level to investors after financial tsunami and review the financial bureau’s policies and regulations of financial securitization at present. My research will focus on four independent cases, which is related to the part of CBO products that combined foreign bonds, and in order to find out the future direction of domestic CBO products; In these four cases, I will probe into the factors of gradually decreasing CBO market in Taiwan; the way of to give an impetus to CBO market again; the reason of investment lose and consider about if strengthen the responsibility and obligation to the counter party of CBO by deep interview. The conclusion of this assay: 1. Strengthen and confirm participant's purpose and ability of participating in securitisation, prevent the financial institutes from enthusing to be part of CBO market participation or in order to beautify their financial statements but making more financial problems. 2. Increase to disclosure investment risks and strengthen professional investment knowledge to all kinds of investors to prevent the lawsuit and avoid information dissymmetry. 3. Accelerate to regulate and modify Financial Asset Securitization Act to adapt the change of present securitization market. The Financial Bureaus should open their mind and improve Financial Asset Securitization Act more and quickly for increasing flexibility of products and improving management and monitoring methods after products issued. There is no relevant regulation or act to manage can be followed for Financial Bureau after issuing CBO products so far. Therefore, the government should have to draft and legislate as quickly as possible to benefit the management or monitoring CBO market.

To following with the financial structure improvement and economics growing strength, the emerging markets play a more important role in the world. It also attracts global investors’ eyes. The subprime mortgage, a alert to response the excessive financial operations in America and Europe, happened in U.S.A in April of 2007, and the bankrupt of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc in September of 2008, a long history bank, caused the global financial tsunami still impacted us so far. During this time, the emerging markets have a vital characteristic of the financial risk aversion and let them grow up blooming. We can verify it from investing amounts growing doubled in the emerging marketing funds. The scholar studied continued in researching the fund performance in the past, and the emerging marketing was a relative newer research field. In this paper, we use the global emerging market bond funds as the samples. This purpose of this study was to investigate whether performance persistence and consistency existed during the financial tsunami of 2008. The paper uses three financial indicators of “Return”,” Sharpe ratio” and “standard deviation of net value” to analyze and classifies a long-term and a short-term period to verify fund performance persistence and consistency existed. It focuses on the financial tsunami, the significant financial issue, whether affected fund performance. Finally, it re-groups the specimens to identify the influence between fund performance persistence and the financial tsunami by using 5 non-financial indicators. This research adopts the method is coefficient correlation of Spearman to assay performance persistence. The research findings were summarized as follows: First, no matter in the long-term or the short-term period, Return and Sharpe ratio has performance consistency.Secord, the standard deviation of net value, a risk indictor, is obvious in long-term fund performance persistence.Third, considering the financial tsunami, Return and Sharpe ratio had the obvious negative coefficient correlation in both long-term and short-term fund performance persistence.Four, five non-financial indicators have different conclusions with analyzing the financial tsunami impact, especially in return for long-term and short-term fund performance persistence.

Taiwan is located at seismic zones. If the undersea trench near Taiwan triggers an earthquake over 9.0 on the Richter scale, the tsunami generated will impact directly on the coastal areas. The tsunami wave yields different impacts on flooding potential occurring at the coastal areas due to land topography and surface features. We apply the COMCOT (COrnell Multigrid COupled Tsunami model) model to simulate the tsunami transport of a scale 9.5 earthquake from the Ryukyu Trench dislocation. We also set up multiple tide observation stations in offshore areas during the simulation to observe changes in free surface when tsunami waves passed. The simulation results of the COMCOT model are then incorporated into the Physiographic Inundation Model as the downstream boundaries. We simulate the flooding potential of the Lanyang Plain with two scenarios: tsunami only, and tsunami and Typhoon Simlaku, 2008. The results show that tsunami generated from the Ryukyu Trench arrives the study area in 19 minutes; the first tsunami wave (the highest wave) with a height of 13.52 meters strikes the study area in 55 minutes. The results of flooding potential for the first scenario (tsunami only) show that the maximum flooded depth is 5 meters and the farthest flooded distance is 10.6 km. In the second scenario (tsunami and Typhoon Simlaku), the maximum flooded depth is 12 meters and the farthest flooded distance is 11.2 km. Comparing with these two scenarios, an increase of 7610 hectares in flooding areas can be observed since tsunami waves hinders the drainage of river channels.

Full textDoggerland was a landmass occupying an area currently covered by the North Sea until marine inundation took place during the mid-Holocene, ultimately separating the British landmass from the rest of Europe. The Storegga Event, which triggered a tsunami reflected in sediment deposits in the northern North Sea, northeast coastlines of the British Isles and across the North Atlantic, was a major event during this transgressive phase. The spatial extent of the Storegga tsunami however remains unconfirmed as, to date, no direct evidence for the event has been recovered from the southern North Sea. We present evidence of a tsunami deposit in the southern North Sea at the head of a palaeo-river system that has been identified using seismic survey. The evidence, based on lithostratigraphy, geochemical signatures, macro and microfossils and sedimentary ancient DNA (sedaDNA), supported by optical stimulated luminescence (OSL) and radiocarbon dating, suggests that these deposits were a result of the tsunami. Seismic identification of this stratum and analysis of adjacent cores showed diminished traces of the tsunami which was largely removed by subsequent erosional processes. Our results confirm previous modelling of the impact of the tsunami within this area of the southern North Sea, and also indicate that these effects were temporary, localized, and mitigated by the dense woodland and topography of the area. We conclude that clear physical remnants of the wave in these areas are likely to be restricted to now buried, palaeo-inland basins and incised river valley systems.

In our study, we main to investigate the impact of interest rate risk on credit default swap (CDS) spread during financial tsunami. Empirically, we download US federal funds effective interest rate as well as the five-year CDS indices of the banking industry, the financial services industry, and the insurance industry from the DataStream. The sample period spans from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009. In estimation, we use the OLS and VAR approach to investigate the relationship over 2008-2009. The empirical result by employing the OLS method find that the interest rate risk is associated with the CDS spreads change in financial industries during the period 2008-2009. The same conclusion also holds in 2008. However, the interest rate risk has no significant effect on the change of CDS spreads in 2009. In addition, the empirical results by using VAR approach find that based on past interest rate risks, the managers and investors in financial industry could gauge their effects on the change of CDS spreads in 2008; the managers and investors in bank industry can do this gauge in 2009. In summary, in VAR model, we also can test the bidirectional causality between the interest rate risk and the change of CDS spreads in US financial industries. But the relationship will change with the sample period, therefore the managers and investors need to revise the estimated model. In addition, in the long-term interest rate risk will affect CDS spreads, it means that the interest rate risk and the change of CDS spreads have long-term stable relationship.

Individuals are importance resources for organizations. Optimal resource allocation and synergy are essential paths for improving the competitiveness of industries. Human resources are undoubtedly the most significant factor that influences the advantages of an enterprise. Under the trend of financial tsunami, the allocation of innovative human resource is the most unique strength of competitiveness, of which the differentiation effects are difficult to duplicate. In the era of intense competition and high concept, the work of employees is confronted simultaneously by financial tsunami and reduced orders. If innovative effects of human resources are to obtain direct efficacy, enterprises should create their competitive strength by utilizing professionals’ knowledge to manage companies. However, the formation of innovative strategies requires more aggressive policies that reform the established norms of manpower positioning. New strategies should be proposed to provide employees or enterprises with new values that guide them through financial difficulties. This study discussed the influence of manpower positioning and innovative strategies on the plastic industries under financial tsunami, as well as the relationship between manpower positioning and innovative strategies. In-depth expert interviews and surveys were conducted to collect data regarding recruitment, selection, payment, benefit, educational training, and career planning. Using stratified sampling method, this study distributed 600 surveys to plastic business owners, and obtained 513 valid samples. Analytical methods included ANOVA and IPA. Based on the analysis, this study proposed innovative manpower positioning strategies to ensure the appropriate employee numbers, employee quality and supply as well as to satiate enterprises’ needs to sustain the industry.

In 2008, due to the substantial price-hike of global petroleum prices and the continuous rising of raw material prices, the whole world was subject to the threat caused by the increase of inflation. Finally, a financial tsunami evolved, and then came in a great surge. A series of chain reactions also impacted job markets directly, and hence tremendous unemployment tides developed. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the correlation among the psychological impact, family influence, crisis coping strategies, and career development when middle-level or high-level managers in Taiwanese enterprises encountered involuntary leaving the job. In this study, qualitative research methods were adopted. Related viewpoints given by the “middle-level or high-level managers” were obtained through In-depth Interview. Then, case studies were undertaken via auxiliary means such as related literatures, data and interview content. Finally, Cross Analyses were made, aimed at the interview content of the five samples, for finding out their meanings and differences, in order to understand the impact and influence of involuntary leaving the job on “middle-level or high-level managers”. The research findings indicated: This group of interviewed middle-level or high-level managers used to belong to the class who had very high employability and sense of work security and who had no need to worry about their short-term economy. Therefore, at the initial stage when they encountered involuntary leaving the job, no impact and significant influence were shown on their self-affirmation, career planning and families, even though they might have emotional reactions such as being astonished or surprised. However, after experiencing the unemployment periods which were longer than the ones they had expected, they began to have negative mentalities and emotions gradually, such as dejection, depression, dispirit, suffering, panic, sense of insecurity, and degraded confidence, along with economic pressure.
