Abstract:

The subject of this study is the trade relationship between Australia and Indonesia, specifically the merchandise trade relationship. Although much have been written on this subject, most of the existing literature covers only broad macro - economic aspects, while some important micro - economic aspects have economic aspects are related to the practical implementation of international trade which include such factors as business structures, market conditions and especially the attitude and performance of been overlooked. These micro traders as well as the attitude and policies of governments. On the theoretical level, we will examine the development of trade theories and trade models to see how far these existing theories and models can explain the international trade patterns and bilateral trade relations. The issue of complementarity has been at the heart of most attempts to explain the relative low level of trade. Our argument is that the bilateral trade relationship should not only be explained in terms of complementarity. Actually there is sufficient scope of complementarity. The problem in the trade relationship is not so much the lack of complementarity but the failure of both countries to compete with other (third countries) exporters. This study will also show the importance of certain institutional features such as the role of the State, business structures, market conditions, certain international trade practices and the aspects of foreign aid in international trade. Broad analyses of trade performance will be combined with empirical analyses drawing from observations and experiences of the real actors in the trade relationship which are the corporate sector and government officials. The empirical analyses are intended to reveal a range of practical problems faced in reality and which may hopefully provide a guide for action by both State officials and corporate managers. On policy implications and trade policies, the so called thinking on trade policies ' does seem to be a realistic and applicable view. The admission of imperfect market conditions and State intervention is a very realistic view on the existing international trade situation and the justification for certain new is an acknowledgement of the trade policies already implemented by most countries. Although this new thinking on trade policies is activist trade policies still in an early stage and an overall model incorporating imperfect market conditions still has to be developed, our arguments are in line with this new thinking.

Abstract:

This dissertation addresses specific issues on domestic and foreign trade in India. The three chapters of the dissertation are summarized as follows. In the first chapter, we analyze the existence of regional wage differences across Indian states, and how domestic trade affects those premiums. We follow a two-step estimation process used in the literature on Labor Economics. Our empirical results show that higher level of domestic imports tends to reduce the state premiums, and higher domestic exports increase those premiums, which is consistent with a specific factor Ricardo-Viner model. Thus, promoting domestic trade by with states specializing in certain industries may lead to higher welfare within the country. In addition, we find, state premiums depend negatively on state-level amenities measured by per-capita power availability, and does not depend on the richness of the State measured by per-capita Net State Domestic Product. In the second chapter, we look at the pattern and determinants of inter-state manufacturing trade in India. In the paper, we use information on 12 manufacturing industries categorized under 5 sectors from 2005 to 2013 with two-year intervals in between. We find that a 1\% decrease in income ratio between importing state net state domestic product and exporting state net domestic product has significantly varying effects on trade flows across the different sectors. For coal and minerals, the effect is 36.8%, for chemical it is 105%, for metals it is 31.5% and for cement, it is 36.8%. In all these case a decrease in income ratio increases exports. For machinery, a 1% decrease in income ratio lead to approximately 9.3% reduction in trade. This suggests that machineries which are capital goods are more imported by richer states, whereas the other goods which can be classified as intermediate inputs are more imported by poorer states. We also find that infrastructure promotes trade and on average infrastructure reduces the effect of contiguity by around 28.6% and promotes trade even between non-contiguous states. Therefore, infrastructure in the form of roadways, highways, and railways must be built and maintained to promote facilitate trade in India. In chapter three, we compare the effects of tariffs and non-tariff barriers on Indian exports. We use Indian HS-96 four-digit industry level export data from COMTRADE and tariff data from TRAINS database for the study. The overall result suggests that input tariffs have the largest effect on exports, followed by final tariff and foreign tariffs. A 1% reduction in input tariff leads to around 8.6% increase in exports. A similar reduction in final tariffs and foreign tariffs lead to 3.6% and 2.8% increase, respectively in exports. Thus, we conclude that the supply side effect of exports dominates the demand side effects. From a policy perspective, if countries try to improve trade balance by imposing high tariffs, it may lead to a negative effect on exports through the input tariff effects.

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to study the impact of trade policy on growth in India in a time-series framework. This has been done in several steps. In the first step, a time-series index of trade policy was constructed and its relationship with growth was examined. In the second step, the impact of trade policy on exports was examined. In the next step, we investigated the issue of causality between export growth and income growth to see if the export-led-growth hypothesis is valid even for a 'large' country such as India. Finally, the alternative hypothesis of government-led-growth was also tested since the governmental intervention in India was expected to engineer an economic take-off in India. If this latter thesis is rejected by the data, then, by contrast, the earlier thesis of export-led-growth (if accepted) would be rendered even more remarkable. In carrying out the above steps we have made use of cointegration and errorcorrection modelling. This is an appropriate me thodology to use for our purpose as it helps us to handle non-stationary time series and at the same time preserves the longrun information. More specifically, the Engle-Granger two-step approach, Johansen's Maximum Likelihood procedure and Granger-causality technique have been employed. The time period of our study is 1950-96. It emerges from this research that liberal trade policy leads to faster economic growth in India. Secondly, the elasticities of exports with respect to the real effective exchange rate and world income are quite large, signifying that world demand conditions were not significant in constraining Indian exports. Further, the available evidence suggests that the export-led-growth thesis is valid even for a 'large' country like India. In this context, what we actually find is that a two-way causality between export growth and output growth. Finally, the evidence presented by us suggests that the expansion of the government sector is detriment he government led-growth thesis is rejected by the data. An examination of this thesis at a disaggregated level shows that while the expansion of government investment has a negative impact on growth, the impact of growth in government consumption is insignificant. An interesting finding emerging from our study is that the investment ratio has an insignificant impact on growth in India The impact of trade policy on growth appears to be via higher productivity rather than through higher investment. The policy conclusion emerging from this study is that export pessimism of the past was misplaced and India would do well to pursue export expansion much more vigorously than hitherto. This would require policies aimed at offsetting the earlier anti-export bias, such as an aggressive exchange rate policy, lowering the degree and dispersion of protection further, de-reservation of (removal of reservation status for) the small-scale sector and liberalisation of the agricultural and consumer goods sectors. This would also require a strategy to tackle infrastructural bottlenecks, which are posing a serious constraint on India's growth and exports.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references.
This thesis is a collection of three empirical essays on economic development and trade in India. Chapter 1 uses the sharp trade liberalization in India in the early 1990s, spurred to a large extent by external factors, to measure the causal impact of trade liberalization on poverty and inequality in districts in India. Variation in pre-liberalization industrial composition across districts in India and the variation in the degree of liberalization across industries allow for a difference-in-difference approach, establishing whether certain areas benefited more from, or bore a disproportionate share of the burden of liberalization. In rural districts where industries more exposed to liberalization were concentrated, poverty incidence and depth decreased by less as a result of trade liberalization, a setback of about 15 percent of India's progress in poverty reduction over the 1990s. The findings are related to the extremely limited mobility of factors across regions and industries in India. Indeed, in Indian states where inflexible labor laws impeded factor reallocation, the adverse impact of liberalization on poverty was more pronounced. The findings, consistent with a specific factors model of trade, suggest that to minimize the social costs of inequality, additional policies may be needed to redistribute some of the gains of liberalization from winners to those who do not benefit as much. Creating a flexible institutional environment will likely minimize the need for additional interventions. Using a panel of firm-level data, Chapter 2 examines the effects of India's trade reforms on firm productivity in the manufacturing sector, focusing on the interaction between this policy shock and firm and environment characteristics.
(cont.) The rapid and comprehensive tariff reductions-part of an IMF-supported adjustment program with India in 1991-allow us to establish a causal link between variations in inter-industry and inter-temporal tariffs and consistently estimated firm productivity. Specifically, I find that reductions in trade protectionism led to higher levels and growth of firm productivity, with this effect strongest for private companies. Interestingly, state-level characteristics, such as labor regulations, investment climate, and financial development, do not appear to influence the effect of trade liberalization on firm productivity. Chapter 3, coauthored with my advisor Esther Duflo, studies the impact of reservation for women on the performance of policy makers and on voters' perceptions of this performance. Since the mid 1990's, one third of Village Council head positions in India have been randomly reserved for a woman: In these councils only women could be elected to the position of chief. Village Councils are responsible for the provision of many local public goods in rural areas. Using a data set which combines individual level data on satisfaction with public services with independent assessments of the quality of public facilities, we compare objective measures of the quantity and quality of public goods, and information about how villagers evaluate the performance of male and female leaders. Overall, villages reserved for women leaders have more public goods, and the measured quality of these goods is at least as high as in non-reserved villages. Moreover, villagers are less likely to pay bribes in villages reserved for women.
(cont.) Yet, residents of villages headed by women are less satisfied with the public goods, including goods that are beyond the jurisdiction of the Panchayat. This may help explain why women rarely win elections even though they appear to be at least as effective leaders along observable dimensions, and are less corrupt.

Abstract:

Wildlife poaching is directly associated with illegal wildlife trade. Although poaching is recognized as a major threat to wildlife in India, it has not been analyzed quantitatively, because of a lack of data. Thus, the understanding of poaching or illegal wildlife trade and its true implications on conservation has not been considered by policymakers. The deficiency of data on poaching in the public domain also hampered scientific research on poaching. The lack of a scientific approach to analyze poaching creates a gap between reality and an effective solution to reduce its implications on wildlife conservation. Poaching has also been affected by fast economic development in India and the region, which has given rise to increased demand of wildlife. Protected areas, created to conserve wildlife, face pressure from poaching and demographic growth. Economic developments affect poaching and demographic changes and affect conservation.Analyzing this trend at the country and the global level can help predict future scenarios and develop effective strategies to reduce loss to biodiversity.We examined stakeholders' perspectives on wildlife policy development in India(Part 1) and analyzed poaching and other emerging threats to 3 different protected areas in India (Part 2). This analysis is based on the perceptions of the village communities living inside and on the fringe of the protected areas. We also conducted a temporal and spatial analysis of poaching in India from 1992-2006 (Part 3). This period sees the transformation of Indian economy following an economic liberalization process, which increased the development process. Finally, we analyzed the relationship between growth in the economy and wildlife conservation in India from a historical and statistical perspective(Part 4). This part also develops system feedback loop diagrams to determine possible10relationships between variables that are connected to conservation. The relationships are then assessed at the global level to understand the impact of economic growth on wildlife conservation and understand how it influences the endangered mammals and birds.

Abstract:

The thesis concentrates on measuring the benefits and losses of implementing regional trade agreements. In particular, the thesis analyses trade flow changes, foreign direct investment inflow changes, industrial total factor productivity changes and specific commodity trade flow changes in Australia and China. Four empirical studies are undertaken. Firstly, the thesis introduces the gravity model to estimate the effect of regional trade agreements on trade flow changes, focusing on thirty-nine countries and areas from seven regional trade agreements during 1980-2004. The results show that there are trade creation and trade diversion effects for various memberships. The results further show that China experiences an export creation effect for its APEC membership while Australia has an import diversion effect for its CER membership. When trade between Australia and China is considered, Australia's CER membership impedes its trade with China. However, both Australia and China benefit from attending APEC jointly to enlarge their bilateral trade. Secondly, a modified gravity model is undertaken to test the impact of regional trade agreements on foreign direct investment inflows to Australia and China. It uses the same regional trade agreements to that of the trade flow study for the period of 1980 to 2004 for Australia and 1985 to 2004 for China. The results show that CER members tend to strengthen their bilateral foreign direct investment cooperation after the implementation of CER trade and investment liberalization. Thirdly, the impact of regional trade agreements is examined on industrial total factor productivity growth. The findings show that industries with comparative trading advantages in both Australia and China tend to improve their total factor productivity upon liberalizing trade both bilaterally and multilaterally. However, industries with comparative disadvantages need more protection against severe foreign competition. It uses data from 1974-75 to 2004-05 for the Australian market sector analysis, from 1968-69 to 1990-2000 for the Australian manufacturing industry analysis, and from 1987 to 2003 for the Chinese industry analysis. Finally, the thesis investigates the impact of regional trade agreements on bilateral commodity trade between Australia and China from 1979 to 2004. A similar gravity model to that of the trade flow study is used, introducing an additional GDP per capita variable to capture the effect of increasing consumers' income on their consumption of particular goods and products type based on product and production characteristics. Both the one-digit and some detailed four-digit commodity classifications described in the Standard International Trade Classification are considered. The results show that participation in regional trade agreements is an important factor that affects Australia's major commodity trade with China. The major contribution of this thesis is the investigation of issues on trade flows and foreign direct investment specifically in Australia and China, together with the studies of the effect of regional trade agreements on industrial total factor productivity improvement and specific commodity trade changes. Due to the increasing pursuit of bilateral and regional economic cooperation in Australia and China, the results of this thesis are of particular importance to both countries in their foreign trade and economic strategies.

Abstract:

This thesis is an intellectual and personal journey, written not so much to prove a particular point about the relationship between Australia and Japan, but so that I might understand changes which have taken place in my lifetime. As a schoolboy voluntary worker at a military hospital, my earliest impressions of Japan were coloured by meeting victims of the Japanese invasions of Indonesia and New Guinea and the bombing of Darwin. My heroes included members of Sparrow Force, which fought on behind the Japanese lines in Timor, and Julius Tahija, winner of the Orange Cross for a valiant rearguard action in which hundreds of Japanese were killed. By the time I graduated from university my hatred of Japan, like that of most of my generation, had softened as memories of the war faded and Australia entered a period of full employment and rapid growth. Then, while working with a trading house in Indonesia in the late 1950s, I started to relate to Japanese as fellow human beings, as business competitors - and as members of the same golf club. It was not until the 1960s, working in a variety of industries as a management consultant, that I became aware of how much Japan could influence Australia's future: on the one hand as the dominant customer for our wool; and on the other as the maker of such things as synthetic rope which would put Australian rope and twine makers out of business. Upon joining the mining industry, the profitability of my company and my own income were inextricably linked with the success of Japanese industry. And yet my colleagues and I knew little about the country and the people upon whom we were so dependent. The desire to learn more about the strange symbiotic relationship between Japan and Australia was the genesis of this thesis. Its objective is very simple: to trace the history of Australia's relationship with Japan and to identify the role played by governments, the bureaucracy and private individuals as Australia responded to changes in the Japanese economy. It will show that the complementary relationship is dynamic, calling for constant change and adaptation…

Abstract:

This thesis provides the background to and an analysis of the economics of exploring for and developing oil and gas discoveries in India. It is aimed at helping the oil and gas industry assess the financial attractiveness of investment in that country. The thesis describes the geography, climate, infrastructure, and energy market with an emphasis on how these affect upstream oil and gas industry investment. A detailed description and analysis is given of the petroleum production sharing contract ("PSC") terms embodied in India's New Exploration Licensing Policy ("NELP"), and demonstrates that, depending on negotiations, Government Take under NELP terms is likely to be in the range 50% to 60% for a stand-alone petroleum development. However, PSC terms are regressive for marginal discoveries. In particular, State royalties might hinder the development of small or marginal discoveries and render them uneconomic. As an illustration, depending on the oil price, up to 6 MMbbls of oil in otherwise economically viable small fields in a geological basin might be made uneconomic and left stranded because of the effect of royalties. The thesis also analyses the economics of developing a sample of actual Indian oil and gas fields offshore the east and west coasts of the country in shallow and deep water. Onshore field developments are not analysed because of lack of data. All of the offshore developments analysed are profitable based on past and current economic conditions and knowledge. The majority are also relatively low-risk investments. Finally, the thesis evaluates the profitability of new oil and gas exploration and development offshore the east and west coasts of India. The required minimum size of new exploration prospects are in the range 10 to 17 MMbbls for oil prospects and 138 to 1,100 Bcf for gas prospects assuming a low probability of success. Once a new discovery is made, the required minimum economically developable reserves are 4 to 12 MMbbls for oil discoveries and 63 to 1,400 Bcf for gas discoveries.

Introduction -- Literature review, discussion of methodologies and research orientation -- "20% of nothing": Australian rock music management -- Australian country music management -- Australian pop music management: the third party -- Conclusion: managerial creativity.
Artist managers 'create' careers for musicians, yet little has been written about their creativity in the academic domain. Thus this thesis develops the notion of managerial creativity. Artist managers build and maintain 'brands', and this is a creative industry function. The thesis begins with a description of what artist management is, then it reviews the way in which various Australian musicians' and artist managers' careers are created and maintained. A musical idea or product arises from the synergy of many sources and not only from the mind of a single person (Csikszentmihalyi, 1996). Therefore it is easier to enhance creativity by changing conditions in the environment the artist is located in than by trying to make artists think more creatively. Managerial creativity involves the creation and maintenance of the system, context or environment from which artistic creativity emerges and is therefore the facet of the music industry that can most effectively enhance musical creativity.

Full text

Abstract:

Contraband Trade can be defined as illicit trade between any two countries. For the purposes of this study Contraband Trade is divided into 'Technical Contraband Trade' (TCT) and 'Physical Contraband Trade' (PCT). TCT is defined as false invoicing of international trade, i.e. under-/over-invoicing of exports/imports. PCT is defined as complete unrecording of international trade. Thus TCT is partial evasion of tariffs and PCT is total evasion of tariffs. This is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of Indo-Sri Lanka Contraband Trade and Capital. The central research questions of this study are; (i) What is the extent of two-way Contraband Trade between India and Sri Lanka? (ii) What are the modi operandi of Indo-Sri Lanka Contraband Trade? (iii) What are the causes of Indo- Sri Lanka Contraband Trade? (iv) What are the effects of Indo-Sri Lanka Contraband Trade? (v) What are the policy options that can be derived from the causes and effects? TCT is detected at the partner-country data comparison method. This is an exercise in statistical detection of Contraband Trade. PCT is detected by the market price comparison method. Further, air passenger traffic data between India and Sri Lanka is used to estimate the total number of Contraband traders and the value of Contraband carried by air and sea are estimated by an interviewing method. By these methods the total value of two-way PCT between India and Sri Lanka is estimated. A study of Narcotic Drug (Heroin) Contraband Trade is undertaken using official data which is a one-way traffic from India to Sri Lanka. Further, a qualitative study of Corruption and Law Enforcement in Contraband Trade in Sri Lanka is undertaken using anecdotal evidence. Having established the quantitative and qualitative significance of Indo-Sri Lanka Contraband Trade the causes of such illegal trade are investigated employing an interviewing method. Next, the effects of Contraband Trade are studied applying the existing theories of economic welfare effects of Contraband Trade. Finally, from the causes and effects some policies to regularise or decriminalise Indo-Sri Lanka Contraband Trade are prescribed.

Abstract:

This study addresses some of the widely debated issues in the empirical education and trade literature in the context of India. Chapter 3 examines the impact of public education expenditure and trade openness on economic growth of India using aggregate or country level data. The estimation results indicate that public education expenditure has a positive effect on growth but the impact is not very robust and sensitive to different estimation methods. The major contribution of this chapter to the existing literature has been to establish the dynamism in India’s trade-growth nexus. The nature of the relationship between trade openness and economic growth of India has changed following the change in policy regime since the 1980s. In Chapter 4, I investigate the trade-growth nexus further by employing disaggregated level analysis. Firstly, I disaggregate GDP by agriculture, manufacturing and services sectors and try to check which sector benefitted most from trade openness. Secondly, I try to assess whether trade openness affects manufacturing sector growth at the Indian state level. The latter analysis has been conducted using panel model analysis for 22 states. Econometric analysis indicates that the effect of trade openness has been heterogeneous across sectors. Only the services sector seemed to have reaped the benefits of increasing openness, so far. Consequently, no significant relationship could be found between agricultural sector performance and trade openness. It seems that the agricultural sector suffers from gross underinvestment and its performance still relies heavily on the monsoon cycles. At the country level, manufacturing sector failed to take advantage of the trade openness but the picture of stagnancy is not uniformly true when we look at the state-level manufacturing performance. I therefore re-estimate the relationship between state-level manufacturing performance and state-level trade openness using state level data. The most notable contribution of this chapter to the existing literature has been the construction of trade openness indices for major Indian states. Overall, I find that there is a robust association between trade openness and manufacturing sector performance at the Indian state level. However, this relationship seems to be driven solely by the performance of the unregistered segment of Indian manufacturing. In Chapter 5, I disaggregate the public education expenditure data by primary, secondary and tertiary sectors and examine the nature of the relationship between each sectoral expenditure and growth. None of the sectoral education expenditure had any impact on growth when the analysis is carried out for the entire time period 1951-2011. Both school and tertiary education expenditure started to exert a positive impact on Indian GDP growth once the country started to shift from a state-led growth model to a pro-business regime from the early 1980s. Finally, I examine the determinants of public education expenditure by the state governments using panel data for 16 Indian states. The economic variables such as NSDP per capita and tax revenue came out to be statistically significant indicating that richer states spend more on education compared to their poorer counterparts. States with smaller child population share (0-14 years, as percentage of total population) managed to allocate more funds towards education than those with larger shares. No significant evidence was found to suggest that political factors such as corruption and political ideology of the ruling party affect education spending decisions in Indian states.

Abstract:

This thesis is a study of Roman trade contacts with the distant East and the impact of this commerce upon the ancient economy. The first part of this work re-considers and updates evidence for the sea routes between Roman Egypt and India and examines the overland routes between Roman Syria and Mesopotamia. The second part ofthis work investigates how this eastern commerce effected the Roman economy. Chapter One is a review of the main academic studies that previously examined Rome's eastern trade. This chapter also contains a discussion of the main source evidence. Chapter Two considers the evidence for Roman trade between Egypt and India including a discussion as to how commerce developed or declined. Chapter Three discusses current evidence for trade between Roman Syria and the Parthian territories of Mesopotamia, in particular the city of Palmyra and its trade with Charax and the Persian Gulf. Chapter Four considers the scale of eastern goods entering th~ Roman Empire and the value of customs revenue that this commerce produced. Chapter Five examines current theories. regarding the financial system of the Roman Empire and assesses the role of eastern trade revenues. A new model for the finances of the Roman State is provided. Chapter Six contains a review of the most influential theories concerning the Roman economy and provides a new reconstruction that -explains the significance of eastern trade. The work also contains an additional study describing trade vessels that Roman merchants adapted for voyages to India, while a second study deals with theories concerning the financing of Roman-Egyptian trade ventures to India. This appendix offers new theories as to how these trade ventures were organised and funded.

Abstract:

Systematic removal of trade barrier across many industries during the early 1990s raised a debate over the role of trade on the environment. This thesis attempts to gain a deeper understanding of the environmental implications of trade liberalization in India. Data containing information on tariff rate, import, export, and production for 28 sectors from 1990 to 2001 are obtained from the World Bank Economic Review. To classify different trade sectors by pollution intensity, I used the three-digit International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) system. I used three different specifications with log of real production, export and import as the dependent variables in the empirical model. The coefficient of interest is Î²_5 which measures the differential impact on the percentage change in the dependent variables, caused by tariff reduction from before to after trade liberalization and from lower to higher polluting industries. My result confirms my first two hypotheses that average tariff reduction (41 percentage point) from pre to post liberalization period increase the total production and export in high polluting industries by 16.4% and 106.6% respectively. The study concludes that differential impact of average tariff reduction during trade liberalization in India promotes heavy polluting industries.

Abstract:

Over the last two decades there has been a tremendous increase in collaboration among competing firms. A significant number of these collaborations are international. This thesis explores the incentives and welfare consequences of collaboration in the context of international trade. We consider two types of cross-border collaborations. The first is collaboration by sharing a part of firms' value creating activities, such as technology development, product design and distribution. This saves on production costs but reduces product distinctiveness. Firms collaborate if and only if the reduction in product distinctiveness is lower than a threshold level. We find that the threshold increases with an increase in trade costs. That is, an increase in trade costs makes collaboration more likely. Higher trade cost lowers competition, which in turn enables the firms to save on fixed costs while forgoing some product distinctiveness. Furthermore, we demonstrate that contrary to standard intuition, higher trade cost could enhance consumers' welfare by inducing competitors to collaborate. We extend our model to endogenise location choice by the firms where collaboration requires co-location (due to the benefit of local spillovers or joint investment in key infrastructures). Unlike the original model, we find that an increase in trade costs can discourage collaboration. In both circumstances, we find that an increase in trade cost can improve consumer surplus. The second type of collaboration considered in this thesis is licensing. We extend the standard licensing literature to an environment where firms compete in the domestic as well as foreign market. We examine how trade cost affects the licensing decision as well as the optimal payment mechanism. We find that an increase in trade costs reduces the possibility of licensing. Concerning the payment mechanism, we find that (i) either royalty or (ii) a two-part tariff (involving a fixed fee as well as royalty payments) is optimal. An increase in trade costs reduces the likelihood of royalty only being the optimal payment mechanism.

Abstract:

The aim of this study is to examine Australia's economic relationship with the European Union (EU) countries since 1955 in order to develop a greater understanding of the current situation between them. This is to be completed on two levels. The first being the actual trade relationship between Australia and the EU and the second being the Australian perceptions of this trade relationship. The research problem to be addressed in this research is: How have the development of regional groupings like the European Union impacted on a country's trade? What role does the fear of exclusion play in this relationship? The research questions that address this research problem are: RQ.1) What has occurred in Australia's trade relationship with the EU countries since 1955? RQ.2) How do Australians perceive Europe as a trading partner? RQ.3) How have Australian perceptions of Europe affected economic relations with the EU? Chapter one introduces the background to this research, it outlines the research problem, questions, objectives and the structure of the thesis. Chapter two reviews the relevant literature to this research. The research is based on international relations. A history of the emergence of the international economy is examined, and within this processes of economic and political globalization are assessed. This provides an overview of the processes which have led to the development of this research problem. The main theoretical body to which this research contributes is then examined, this being the process of regionalisation as to whether a tri-polar world will be the norm or if it is a step toward globalization. An examination of the European Union, a regional trade bloc, is then made. The further body of theory to that on regionalisation is then examined being on customs unions, using the EU as an example. An overview of Australia's position in the international economy and the implications of these processes for Australia are then assessed. Finally the literature on Australian relations with the EU is examined. Chapter three outlines the methodological processes of this research. Qualitative analysis is to be performed with some quantitative analysis. An historic approach is taken. Archival analysis, surveys and interviews are used to collect the data. Procedures of data collection and analysis are outlined and ethical procedures are considered. Chapter four presents the findings of the research. The patterns of data pertaining to research question one are first presented, these being the trade statistics between Australia and the EU. Data pertaining to research question two are then presented. Firstly government perceptions of Australia's relations with Europe are detailed. Secondly the portrayal of Europe by the media is outlined. Finally the results of the surveys and interviews are presented giving Australian perceptions of Europe. Chapter five summarises the findings of the research and concludes the research questions and problem. The variation in the reality of the trade pattern between Australia and the EU and the Australian perception of relations with Europe are accounted for given the perception of the Government and the Media. Implications of the research are then given for theory, and suggestions are given for future research,

Abstract:

The Sino-Indian relationship marked by mutual mistrust for the last six decades has seen definitive changes since the late 1980s. Though considerable issues remain unresolved, the two have begun establishing mechanisms to establish a certain level of trust that began with the visit of Indian prime minister Rajiv Gandhi to Beijing in 1988. The paper analyzes recent literature on this relationship and finds them predicting two outcomes primarily - either one where India admits Chinese supremacy and kowtows to it, or one that foresees increased clashes between the two. Neither outcome takes into account the complex association that the two nations are building guided by a series of frameworks, mechanisms and agreements. This paper posits that in the evolutionary arc of interstate relations, Sino-Indian relations have not reached a point where only one of the two options - cooperation and competition, will be chosen. This paper argues that economic interests of the two rising powers is behind the present behavior where the two are courting each other but at the same time, preparing for the other's rise. Both countries consider their economic identity to be primary and do not want to be distracted from the key national goal of economic development. They are particularly careful that their disagreements with each other do not come in the way of this goal. The paper analyzes the various frameworks and suggests that they are created with this end in consideration. Both India and China aim to continue collaboration in economic matters bilaterally or in international issues of mutual interest even when they don't see eye to eye on disputes left over from history. It is likely that competition will at times get the better of cooperation, driven by factors like strategic influence in the neighborhood, finding newer providers of energy as well as markets for their goods and services. But periodic flare-ups notwithstanding, in the absence of serious provocations, the two countries will avoid clashes that can escalate. The paper also analyzes certain black-swan events that might disturb the balancing act. Incidents like the death of the Dalai Lama creating a vacuum within the Tibetan leadership is one such scenario; a terrorist attack on India planned and executed form Pakistan like the one in Mumbai in 2008 is another. However, the presence of multiple bilateral platforms will continue to automatically insulate alternate channels of communication even in these situations. In conclusion, the paper suggests that as they grow, India and China will continue to engage each other at several levels, competing and cooperation, deterring and reassuring each other at once.

Abstract:

During the past three decades policy makers from a number of developing countries have undertaken outward-oriented economic reforms with the objective of stimulating global capabilities and allowing domestic firms to catch up with the technological frontier. In the case of India, one of the most important features of such economic reforms has been the promotion of exports and outward foreign direct investments (FDI). Using a rich set of econometric methodologies, we examine the forces underlying Indian firms’ global strategies in the form of exporting and investing abroad and the impact of such decisions upon their future performance. Our analysis covers the years from 1999 to 2007, a period of gradual internationalization of Indian firms in response to ongoing trade and FDI liberalization. We contrast the strategies followed by manufacturing and service firms and pay particular attention to the role of technological and financial factors in shaping firms’ globalization processes. The first chapter of this thesis starts with an analysis of the individual and complementary effects of exporting and investing abroad in stimulating the development of firms’ in-house technological capabilities. We find that outward FDI substitutes the rate of technology investments at home, a result that is consistent with the notion of technology-seeking Indian multinationals investing abroad with the purpose of acquiring foreign technology. In contrast, we uncover evidence of technology-enhancing effects from exporting amongst Indian multinationals, indicating that exporting has been an important channel through which Indian multinational expansion has encouraged greater domestic economic activity. Finally, we fail to find evidence that exporting non multinational firms always invest more in technology than non-exporting ones. Rather, the nature of this association varies according to the sector under consideration and the type of technology. In the second chapter we analyze the process of productivity growth in Indian firms. We examine the individual and complementary roles of technology investments and international activities in stimulating innovation and technological convergence, two potential sources of firms’ productivity growth. Our findings indicate that technological convergence has been an important source of productivity growth in India, with service firms converging faster to the technological frontier than manufacturing companies. We also find that exporting boosts the rate of innovation of Indian multinationals, whereas their overseas investments speed up their rate of technological convergence. In the case of non-multinational companies, exporting stimulates productivity growth by accelerating their rate of technological transfer. There are also positive complementary effects between international activities and technology investments in stimulating firms’ productivity growth either through innovation and/or through technological transfer. Finally, in the third chapter we evaluate the role of external finance for service exports. In contrast to some findings for the manufacturing sector, we find that external finance is not a significant determinant of Indian service firms’ exporting activity. .

Abstract:

Recent empirical works have looked at the effect of changes in trade policies on the pattern of production of firms in the developed world. In the context of an emerging economy, this paper looks at India's manufacturing firms' data for the period 1989 to 2003 focusing on reallocation of resources across products within a firm. This is done by evaluating the relationship between tariffs and diversification at product level. The model is further estimated to cater for possible differences in the responses to trade liberalization between exporting and non-exporting firms. This study finds that there is no association between low tariffs and specialization by firms in India. However, this analysis shows that exporting firms appear to diversify more than non-exporting firms following a reduction of tariffs.

Abstract:

This research has taken the first step to study child-feeding practices of Indian mothers in relation to childhood obesity. It compares feeding practices of Indian mothers with children aged 1-5 years living in Australia and Mumbai. Mothers in the Australian sample were more likely to use 'positive' feeding practices hypothesized to promote healthy growth and weight status. However, mothers in both samples commonly used coercive feeding practices that potentially increase the risk of childhood obesity. These results will inform interventions designed to promote healthy weight status in this cultural group.

Abstract:

This comparative study of Girl Guiding in Malaya, India, Nigeria, and Australia examines the dynamics of engagement between Western and non-Western women participants. Originally a program to promote feminine citizenship only to British girls, Guiding became tied up with efforts to maintain, transform, or build different kinds of imagined communities—imperial states, nationalists movements, and independent nation states. From the program’s origins in London in 1909 until 1960 the relationship of the metropole and colonies resembled a complex web of influence, adaptation, and agency. The interactions between Girl Guide officialdom headquartered in London, Guide leaders of colonized girls, and the colonized girls who joined suggest that the foundational ideology of Guiding, maternalism, became a common language that participants used to work toward different ideas and practices of civic belonging initially as members of the British Empire and later as members of independent nations.

This thesis investigates the implications of implementing TRIPS in India for access to medicines drawing on three major factors: (i) the TRIPS agreement, (ii) the global pharmaceutical industry and (iii) the development of Indian pharmaceutical industry and the level of access to medicines in India. In doing so, the thesis examines the requirements of the TRIPS agreement and analyses the costs and benefits of its implementation, especially from a developing country view point. The fairness test shows that TRIPS prematurely forces developing countries to adopt protection standards, which a number of developed countries themselves did not adopt until they had achieved a certain level of economic development

Abstract:

Central to this thesis is the issue of how to account for the effects of micro-level organisational factors such as culture and social norms on the technology transfer process. The expansion of multinational firms has created a need for increased international technology transfer into nations with distinctly different cultures, social norms and · methods of organisation. The dilemma of how to deal with the transfer of technology into different countries is a continuing problem for academics in the innovation adoption field and corporate managers alike. A synthesis of the literature revealed a lack of understanding associated with the influence of managerial interventions, social, cultural and other organisational processes on the adoption decision. In an international context, it was found that there was an increased need to understand cross-national differences in the determinants of technology adoption. Further, the bulk of conceptual technology transfer models were found to be difficuit to operationalise and overwhelmingly unidimensional. This precipitated a need to develop a pragmatic interactive and dynamic interdisciplinary model that could be used to quantitatively predict transfer difficulty and develop implementation strategy. Longitudinal research methods were used to investigate the implementation of a knowledge management system within a multinational automotive manufacturing organisation. Focusing on two distinct cultures - Australia and India, observations showed that innovation perceptions have a comparatively minor influence on the adoption decision and advocated a need for frameworks capable of explaining adoption and diffusion from a cultural and social basis. These findings were subsequently reinforced through an investigative case study of technology transfer within the automotive manufacturing organisation at a global (or corporate) level. Both research studies supported the conceptualisation of the transfer process as a game between two players (management and the workforce) each weighing perceived advantages and disadvantages associated with adoption relative to their internal schemata. The extent and seriousness of the game is in the first instance determined by the technology itself and later moderated by the cultural, organisational and social norms that dictate play. This game-play notion was the platform upon which specifications for the international technology transfer model were developed. An integration of the literature review and research case studies, produced a top-level requirements model based on various inputs, desired outputs and operating conditions. A variety of interdisciplinary concepts including: technology classification, social capital, the social discount rate, investment appraisal (utilising cost-benefit analysis) and game theory, were used to construct a threestage model of technology transfer. An innovative hypothesis is put forward, enabling the derivation of the social discount rate (based on the social time preference rate) from estimates of a culture's social capital (principally based on measures of trust). Verification and validation of the model showed significant explanatory power in a retrospective context. It also highlighted the model's ability to differentiate between cultures and its potential ability as a predictive tool. It is thought that the greatest application for the model lies in its potential use as a pre-transfer assessment tool aiding corporate managers in the formulation of implementation strategy.
