Nugraha, Daniel Setiawan. "Extending the concept of value chain governance." Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Landwirtschaftlich-Gärtnerische Fakultät, 2010. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16198.
Повний текст джерелаValue Chain (VC) approach has been widely applied in developing countries to promote economic growth particularly of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and rural producers. Many cases have shown that VC upgrading is strongly determined by the prevailing governance structure. However, hitherto the discussion on VC governance has been limited mainly on coordination, regulation, technology, and power; whereas socio-cultural aspects, albeit influential in determining individual behaviour, are mentioned en passant or totally neglected. Thus, this study calls for the extension of governance concept by introducing a wider institutional perspective incorporating regulative, normative, and cultural-cognitive elements to portray a more realistic picture of the interaction between VC operators. Then, it applies the extended concept in case studies of dairy VCs in Indonesia, comparing the governance of successful and unsuccessful upgrading cases. Using an exploratory procedure, data were collected from observations, interviews, and author’s own experiences involved in a practical VC promotion project. The causalities between VC governance and upgrading are explained using the qualitative approach of Macro-Micro Model to accentuate the role of VC operators, their perception, and selected action in the upgrading processes. The results show that regulations and their effective enforcement are necessary; but also social relations, values, and norms, as well as orientation, common practices, and habit exert strong influences on determining the behaviour of and thus the interdependency between VC operators. Hence, further VC re-searches in similar context, i.e. rural areas where socio-cultural aspects are more influential, are to systematically integrate the extended concept of governance into the analysis in order to generate explanation, prediction, and technical recommendation on the facilitation of upgrading processes.

Повний текст джерелаThe current period of human history can plausibly be identified as a global and urban era. Therefore, this thesis seeks to understand the dynamics between youth transition policies and institutional configurations since organization and social practices are changing, and young people's life chances and transitions are profoundly affected by macroeconomic conditions, institutional structures, and social background. The urbanization process is considered essential for explaining the macro changes in capitalistic societies under the neo-Marxist approach. Furthermore, we intend to combine this approach with the neo-Weberian, which considers the city as a whole local society and an important political actor. This approach makes it possible to think that the accelerated urbanization of the world emphasize the processes of convergence, provide for the circulation of models and at the same time stimulates differentiation on different scales. For this reason, the city is considered a crucial scale and institutional entity. Through an in-depth literature review, the focus is on understanding how organizational, social, and institutional practices are affected by the economic downturn, changing social expectations, and changing the socio-economic and political environment. Equally important analysing how the incentives and disincentives in education and training are changing based on the concept of activation and social investment. The analysis is based on a case-oriented approach which is considered the most suitable to embrace complexity in examining each case as a complex set of relationships with distinctive outcomes treated as singularities. Then we selected two cities Milan and Vienna, through multiple lenses of analysis, and highlight their context in strict relationship and interaction with the institutional architecture. This interlink and interaction through youth transition policies and institutional configurations embedded in a particular context such as that of a city are first, a way for moving beyond the ‘methodological nationalism’, and secondly, for focusing on their outcomes which are the reforming and redesigning of various institutional arrangements. After placing these policies within a socio-economic and institutional architecture, the thesis emphasizes some characteristics and elements that focus on crucial historical processes, adopting the discursive institutionalism framework for highlighting how the substantive content of ideas and the interactive process of discourse can take us beyond to explain dynamics of change in environment and in the conditions for the youth transition policies implementation.

Studies of international economic development often feature the competitive gains from inter-firm cooperation. By cooperating, firms within a region can draw on their collective resources and experience to test out new production processes and techniques; share the risks associated with system-wide upgrades and improvements; and identify and transition to more secure niche markets. What many development analysts and practitioners often forget, however, is that local economic actors do not always realize these benefits themselves, nor in unison. In recent times, sophisticated manufacturers have been known instead to employ less cooperative survival strategies, including disassociating themselves from their existing manufacturing base and especially from local colleagues with less training and experience. What then leads firms to work together and cooperate? This is the central question of this dissertation and case study of apparel manufacturing in Guadalajara, Mexico. Since the mid-1990s, a growing number of sophisticated, medium sized apparel makers in the region have been working with smaller sized, less experienced or barebones subcontractors and in the process, have established dynamic upgrading and learning alliances. Together these firms are having to "unlearn" an entrenched relational pattern based on strict production hierarchies and centralized forms of control; establish a new set of rules and routines that are more suitable for open learning and joint decision making; and finally, develop a shared "identity" around which to build out and legitimize their collective activities and experience.
(cont.) In contrast to existing studies of craft manufacturing, success here does not come from established cultural norms or individual initiative and self-interest. Rather, it is a case in which three actors-from the state government, industry association and university extension center-have come together in an unexpected alliance to create the institutional structure and governance framework needed to support, guide and motivate this particular form of social learning and collective exchange. In describing the coordinated efforts of these three institutional actors, this case study not only provides planning lessons for other regions not "born with the sprit to cooperate," but more importantly offers a set of policy guidelines for development practitioners wishing to keep skilled and well-connected manufacturers active and invested in their own communities.

Chan, Narith. "Institution et investissement : impact de l’environnement institutionnel sur l’entrée d’IDE au Cambodge." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LYO22005/document.
Повний текст джерелаAs part of the New Institutional Economics, Douglass C. North, has developed a theory of institutions as a new approach to the economic development study in which institutions play a key role. According to this theory, the presence of a strong institutional environment accelerates the development process; among the explanation, the determinant role of the institutional environment for FDI. Taking Cambodia as field of study, this dissertation tends to provide more evidence of this institution-FDI relation by showing that the relatively weak institutional environment in Cambodia discourage foreign investors. With its advantages, the kingdom is perceived by foreign firms as an attractive option for investment, but the investment risks resulting from the country’s legal and regulatory framework perceived by foreign firms, are among the concerns. Thus, the institutional reforms are not only used to give to society the public order, the adequate and effective public services with rule of law but also to promote foreign direct investments whose role in development has already confirmed

Повний текст джерелаIn West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU), microfinance institutions (MFIs)are regulated by specific laws but many of them operate outside the regulatory framework.Regulation has advantages but also costs for regulated institutions and the anticipation ofgains or costs may strengthen or limit their incentives for regulation. We analyze MFIsreactions to the implementation of that regulation. In other way, we investigate the linkbetween regulation and performance by using empirical data to estimate the incentives forregulation. We find, it is possible to substitute the prudential regulation for market disciplinein the microfinance intermediation because the net benefit is positive. In spite of their socialvocation, some MFIs prefer ensuring financial performance. Our findings also suggest thatincreasing governance's effort improves MFIs financial income

Повний текст джерелаRegionalisation out of step - the varying growth of regional cooperation councils
Traditionally regionalisation is either seen as a bottom up movement or as state reform politics from above. From that perspective, Sweden contains both parts. The state enables regionalisation through legislation, promote it through policies and encourage it in rhetoric’s. But the formation of new regional institutions can only be done by the municipalities themselves. Without their belief in stronger and more self governed regions or their will to act and together build capacity in their region, the regionalisation is halted.
Sweden is a unitary state and there is no real tradition of strong and self governing regions. In that perspective the regional experiments during the second half of the 1990th can be seen as a rather big step. These experiments inspired other parts of Sweden and in the millennium shift, all counties was interested in forming some kind of selfgoverning regional body. In 2002, when legislation made it possible to build new political regional institutions, these new institutions were formed in seven counties. Since then, yet six counties have formed these new regional bodies. This variation raises several empirical questions. The main purpose of this study is to describe and explain the variation in growth of these new regional institutions.
The analysis follows three different perspectives. The first is a structural one and aims to investigate municipalities need for economic development as a driving force. The second is an institutional perspective where norms are supposed to promote cooperation. The third focus on promoting actors as a force behind the growth of new regional institutions. Through a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods this thesis shows that different kinds of social norms promoting collaboration are the most important factor in explaining the variation in growth of new regional institutions. The analysis also showed that political actors play an important, both in building and maintaining coopera-tive norms, and probably also in bridging the lack of them.

Повний текст джерелаO processo de desenvolvimento económico e institucional acarreta um conjunto de factores quantitativos mas também qualitativos. O Estado tem o seu papel neste processo, criando as regras. Essas regras funcionam como "balizas" ou fronteiras que delimitam as actividades e as relações sociais, interpessoais e comerciais. Estas regras nem sempre estão padronizadas ou formalmente constituídas, no entanto têm uma grande força no estabelecimento das "regras do jogo" na sociedade. A assunção destas regras demora um longo período e são necessárias bases sólidas para a sua consolidação. As instituições desempenham um papel fundamental na construção dessas regras, sendo certo que a qualidade da mesma, determina todo o processo de desenvolvimento. Procuramos, com este trabalho, analisar as instituições e o impacto que têm no processo de desenvolvimento em Cabo Verde. Para isso estudamos o percurso histórico das Instituições de Controlo das Contas Públicas, nomeadamente o Tribunal de Contas de Cabo Verde. Este percurso de criação de instituições de controlo das contas públicas começou na época colonial com a administração portuguesa no arquipélago, passando por uma nova fase com a independência de Cabo Verde a 05 de Julho de 1975. A consolidação desta instituição aconteceu com a abertura democrática em 1990. Criou-se o Tribunal de Contas independente e com assento constitucional. A partir daí todas as contas do Estado passaram a ser controladas pelo Tribunal de Contas. Concluímos que o patamar de democracia atingido e o nível elevado de controlo da corrupção e a boa governação alcançados hoje por Cabo Verde são graças à criação de instituições sólidas e democráticas. É nesta base que este pequeno país se apoiou para a prossecução da boa governação.
The process of economic and institutional development causes a set of quantitative but also qualitative factors. The State has its paper in this process, creating the rules. These rules function as "goals" or borders that delimit the social activities and interpersonal and commercial relations. These rules nor always are standardized or formal constituted, however they have a great force in the establishment of the "rules of the game" in the society. The installation of these rules delays a long period and is necessary solid bases for its consolidation. The institutions play a basic role in the construction of these rules, being certain that the quality of the same one, determines the development process all. We look for, with this work, to analyze the institutions and the impact that have in the process of development in Cape Verde. For this we study the historical passage of the Institutions of Public Control of Accounts, nominated the Court of Accounts of Cape Verde. This passage of creation of institutions of control of the public accounts started at the time colonial with the Portuguese administration in the archipelago, passing for a new phase with the independence of the Cape Verde on 05 of July of 1975. The consolidation of this institution happened with the democratic opening in 1990. The independent Court of Accounts was created and with constitutional seat. From all the accounts of the State had started there to be controlled for the Court of Accounts. We conclude that the reached platform of democracy and the high level of control of the reached corruption and the good governance today for Cape Verde are thanks to the creation of solid and democratic institutions. It is in this base that this small country has been supported for the prosecution of the good governance.

Повний текст джерелаIntroduction: Increased savings in funds has enforced the importance of the institutions. During the last 25 years they have augmented their ownership from 20 to 85 % of the Swedish stock exchange. Thereby the ownership becomes more and more financial, meaning that the return is the most crucial. In an article in Dagens Nyheter the president of the Swedish Shareholders Association and the president of Metall object to the institutional passivity which they consider being an important problem.
Purpose: The purpose of this essay is to put the institutional passivity in perspective. Method: The study was made in three parts. First we studied four companies, two with passive ownership and two with active, in two different lines of business. Then we studied the ownership structure in companies with a negative profittrend. Finally we contacted different trust funds to get their opinion on owner passivity.
Result: The first study showed no difference between the passively and the actively owned companies. Neither did our second study prove any link between performance and owner passivity. Concerning the trust funds they all said to be active why passivity was no problem since it did not exist.
Conclusion: We think that all trust funds say they are active because they have to say so and that they in practice are more or less passive. From the result of our studies we conclude that institutional passivity seems to be no problem. We think the conflict causing this discussion could be between different ownergroups rather than between management and owner

This study examines an IT governance mechanism used by a financial organization, which aims to organize the way in which business divisions request technology solutions from the organization's IT division. A documentary analysis was conducted in the company, and a case study was performed that sought to capture the management's perceptions of the model implementation impact, using as a survey tool an electronically distributed questionnaire. Besides identifying the negotiating positions before and after the implementation of this type of relationship model between the organization divisions, the study also tried to identify the results of the model implementation in several aspects. The results of this model's impact analysis in the organization that was the subject of this study were able to confirm most of the assumptions made, highlighting the gains from deploying such a model. As a consequence of the model's adoption, and even though it was considered to be more complex than the previous negotiation system, the managers identified quality improvements in the developed IT solutions and started to notice greater IT governance and corporative governance levels in the organization. Additionally, the analysis carried out with unsupported assumptions may be used as inputs for future work aimed at improving this type of process.
O presente estudo busca analisar um mecanismo de governança de TI utilizado por uma organização financeira, que tem por objetivo organizar a forma pela qual as áreas de negócio da empresa demandam soluções de tecnologia para a área de TI da organização. Foram realizadas, para tanto, análises documentais na empresa e um estudo de caso que buscou capturar as percepções dos impactos da implantação desse modelo na opinião de funcionários da organização que ocupam cargos gerenciais, utilizando como instrumento de pesquisa um questionário distribuído em meio eletrônico. Além de identificar a situação da negociação de demandas antes e depois da implantação desse modelo de relacionamento entre as áreas da organização, buscou-se também identificar os resultados da implantação desse modelo sob vários aspectos. Os resultados das análises dos impactos desse modelo na organização objeto do estudo de caso permitiram confirmar a maioria das hipóteses levantadas, evidenciando os ganhos da implantação do referido modelo para a organização. Como conseqüência da implantação do modelo, apesar de considerarem esse modelo mais complexo do que a sistemática de negociação anterior, os gerentes identificaram melhorias na qualidade das soluções de TI desenvolvidas e passaram a perceber maiores níveis de governança corporativa de de governança de TI na organização. Adicionalmente, as análises realizadas com as hipóteses não confirmadas poderão ser utilizadas como insumos para trabalhos futuros que visem aprimorar esse tipo de processo.

State capitalism, the statist planning in certain economic sectors, has generated several state-owned enterprises (SOEs) that represent a significant share of activity in the global market. Despite decades of liberalization and privatization in many countries, state ownership and state-led business activity remain widespread; yet new varieties of state capitalism have also emerged. Among these new varieties, state-controlled oil and natural gas entities, also known as nation oil companies (NOCs), represent a type of hybrid organization that specifically deserves scholars’ attention as they dominate the world’s oil & gas industry; yet many of the cases prove to be problematic. The emerging markets possess some of the most important NOC players, yet scant examination has been made to question their appropriateness. This paper presents a contextualized comparison between two NOCs that root in Brazil and China to illustrate how similar and different they are in terms of their ownership style, corporate governance characteristics, and the interactions they have with the host government. We analyzed the findings by matching them with the past theories that offer explanations on NOC performance variation. We concluded that first, regime type is not a dependable factor to indicate the actual state incentives to maintain NOCs, and the goals of state serve only as an equivocate factor in explaining the variation in NOC performances. Secondly, we speculated that due to the absence of a cohesive institutional logic and consistency, Brazil has a fragmented governance system that implies in inappropriateness of state capitalism. Thirdly, we discovered that the unique dynamics between informal and formal institutions in China may justify the better fitness of state capitalism when compared with Brazil. Certain limits to the research method and expectations on further inquiries are also developed.

Повний текст джерелаPhysical activities and games are part of universal culture, and mostly of humanity. African populations had to give up theirs with the creation of modern sports during the settlement era. Physical activities and traditional games in Gabon had mostly a practical aim, going from physical training for teenagers to community service, to leisure activities for all, just like dances during memorial events or initiatory and ritual ceremonies. These activities have disappeared because the colonial policy was to depreciate native practices, by promoting western culture that included sports.We have presented some traditional games in Gabon on the basis of a study we started a few years ago, because we may have found though this study a suggestion we would make, to revitalize and diversify Sport and Physical Activities (SPA) in the school area in Gabon. Indeed, contrary to western sports, traditional games in Gabon have a fewer equipment needs. Moreover, equipment and instruments needed for their practice are located around the area of practice. And we have demonstrated that if SPA disappear from schedules in Gabonese schools, this is mainly due to a high cost for sport didactic equipment as today, sport is the main part of the SPA schedules.We have also presented Gabon traditional games to draw Gabonese Authorities attention to the risk that this category of national cultural patrimony may disappear. We did it as we think that in a globalization context in which each entity promotes its cultural identity and aims at making durable its traditions, Gabon could have its own identity thanks to its traditional physical activities. And it could also use it as a reference for a part of its history.After we informed the existence of traditional games in Gabon, we found it appropriate to mention the sport that replaced them, its meaning, its expansion and its international organization.But what is sport exactly, if we refer to many definitions suggested by different authors? We can order these definitions through specialties. This shows how complicated it is to evaluate this phenomenon. Besides, nowadays we can find sport practices and their corollaries nearly everywhere in social life.Gabon, such as many African countries being former colonies from France, is going to inherit practices and sport structures from its colonizer. However, Gabon is short of sport executives and technicians, equipment and facilities are precarious and insufficient. Realistic sport policies have to be set up, and a long-term projection has to be considered. On the contrary, Gabonese authorities may choose high-level sport to the detriment of school and leisure sport, which are, according to us, real basis of sport policies to guarantee continuous and lasting results.The main issue of this study is about the functioning and productivity of sport institutions introduced by the State to bring prestige and Gabon influence at an international level. To realize this study, we had to notice insufficient results, generally speaking, in Gabonese sport. So, studies were made around the three groups of institutions dealing with public policies and sport destiny.They led us to the State central administration, and we studied the organization and functioning of the Sport Department, its external services and trust organs. Then we studied the second public actor in the sport management in Gabon, which are territory collectivities, and we noticed that their role remains really symbolic, in their failure to enforce the law on decentralization. The third actor or group of actors we studied in this research is the Gabonese Olympic movement, which organization is recommended by the international sport institutions. And we reminded this global sport hierarchy.Gabon that became independent on the 17th of August 1960, and that tries out multipartite democracy since 1990, is a politically stable and wealth country. These two assets could have helped to develop sport. On the contrary, some sport federations only exist thanks to their name; school sport and the SPE are to disappear from schedules. Sport equipment is insufficient. Training and research are wasted. During official events, Gabonese teams performances are quite below-average.Some political scientists claim that if society has to be transformed, it has to start with the institutions, authorities for negotiation between politic elites and citizens. If the possibility is acceptable, what is the role of sport institutions in this perspective in Gabon? Sport institutions in Gabon do not seem to have reached their targets if we look at the numerous internal frictions, constant irregularities in their functioning, and insufficiencies in their current sport performances in official events. These sport institutions live the democratic experience in order to reestablish State authority, to release creative energies, to protect populations’ rights, and to promote Gabon global development?With regard to the recent political views, a change could get under way

Our goal is to identify, in the malagasy context, the relationship between uncertainty and the degree of openness of those companies. We proceed through the analysis of the idiosyncratic cognitive cards of five owner-directors of family owned companies.The results show that by taking into account the different dimensions of uncertainty as an attribute of the transactions, bring a better understanding of the degree of openness as a choice of governance. Moreover, exogenous variable, part of Institution, influence the governance model.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis consists of a study of Brazils regulatory governance structure, through an analysis of the telecommunications and electricity sectors. The analytical efforts are guided by the theoretical model - developed by Pablo Spiller and Mariano Tommasi that defines the means through which a countrys institutions can affect the ability of politicians to engage in intra-temporal exchanges and, as a consequence, determines the countrys regulatory credibility. Guided by this theoretical model, the analysis of Brazils institutional endowment and of the processes that led to the creation of the regulatory institutions in each sector allows the conclusion that the broad role played by the Executive in the Brazilian political system was also reflected in the specific arenas where the regulatory bodies were shaped. The analysis of the design of the regulatory governance structures demonstrates that, despite initial concerns about the implementation of technical and nonpolitical regulation, these structures are yet to be completely and effectively adapted to the peculiarities and characteristics of Brazils institutional endowment. In addition, the descriptive inference highlights the importance of including the preferences of actors, and the influence of veto players, within the models variables, in order to refine its explanatory power.

The role of Institutional investors in alleviating the agent problem of management and its valuation effect has been studied extensively in corporate finance. We complement this stream of research by exploring management's control over institutional investors with misaligned objectives, particularly public pension fund, and the consequential valuation effect. We investigate the politic motive of public pension fund's shareholder activism and its impact on the target firms' operational performance, address the control of a strong management on public pension funds' self-serving agenda, and finally we compare the ownership adjustment pattern of public pension funds to other institutional investors to conclude public pension funds' ownership adjustment reflects their private pursuit. The first chapter explores the politic facet and performance effect of shareholder activism sponsored by public pension fund. In this study, we show that having a public pension fund as the leading sponsor of a shareholder proposal significantly improves the proposal's likelihood of being accepted by the target firm. The increased acceptance rate sources from the subset of proposals addressing a social responsibility issue, and targeting firms with weak insider control. An investigation of the public pension board reveals that the board's political profile is the primary determinant of public pension fund's propensity to lead a proposal, and the target firm's acceptance rate. We also assess the performance impact of shareholder proposals. For target firms with strong insider control, the performance impact of accepted social responsibility proposals is significantly positive; that of governance proposals is negligible. For target firms with weak insider control, the performance impact associated with public pension funds is either negative or negligible. These results suggest that the motive driving public pension funds' dominant presence in shareholder activism is not market based, but laden with purpose other than value creation. In the second chapter, we postulate that the widely documented negative valuation effect of ownership by public pension will be weak on firms with extra managerial control mechanism and/or whose managerial ownership of cash flow is high. For firms with high level managerial ownership of cash flow, management bears higher cost for a concession made with public pension fund's misaligned objective. An efficient market will expect this effect and value the managerial control over public pension fund to the extent that the management's benefit is aligned with outside shareholders. Consequently, the cross section valuation difference of firms held by public pension funds can be explained by the managerial ownership of cash flow, managerial control derived from extra mechanism such as dual class share, however, has no explanative power. The last chapter investigates the link between private benefits and institutional holding change. We assume the cross section equilibrium of block holding will break when market sentiment is high. Consequently, block holder tends to shed more shares loaded with less private benefits by taking advantage of opportunities available in a high sentiment market. The empirical results support this conjecture. When the market sentiment is high, Institutional block holders tend to shed more private benefits meager dual-class share than private benefits affluent non-dual class share. This pattern does not exist when the market sentiment is low. Most importantly, public pension fund is identified as the major driver of this effect.

Повний текст джерелаThis thesis objective is to study the governance of corporate foundations and institutes created to implement private social investment. Private sector participation in financing or implementing social, cultural and environmental investments grew, in Brazil, especially since the beginning of the 1990s. Some companies, in growing numbers, instituted foundations and institutes to manage and execute this activity. This kind of investment developed itself in a country which has not yet overcome bad income distribution and the problems thereof, although it has grown economically, is classified as one of the high IDH countries and managed to establish a stable democratic government since the late 80s. It is believed that corporate foundations have great potential to contribute to the countrys social, economic and environmental development. It is therefore important to understand which factors contribute to their effectiveness and to better study their governance aspects. Governance is conceptualized as a set of control and incentive mechanisms to overcome or minimize the so called agency conflicts, which originate from the separation of property and management in for profit organizations. This concept has been also applied to nonprofits, taking into account conflicts that may occur between resource donors and management. In this study, it is argued that corporate foundations and institutes are nonprofit organizations that have characteristics both from the private sector and from civil society organizations and that the conjunction of these characteristics distinguishes corporate foundations from both types of organizations. This study proposes, therefore, to evaluate whether governance mechanisms used in companies and in other types of nonprofit organizations may be used in these foundations. Adapted from those identified by a theoretical and empirical literature review of corporate and nonprofit governance, a set of governance mechanisms was selected for study. Because this is a little developed investigation field, it was decided to conduct an exploratory descriptive case study, in order to expand knowledge about the theme through observation and analysis of participant organizations and to suggest hypotheses for future research. Data about the eight participant organizations was collected through printed or internet publications and semi structured interviews were conducted with the CEOs of each of them. The data analysis indicates that it is adequate that corporate foundations be considered as part of an organizational group distinct from companies and other nonprofits. A critical analysis of each selected governance mechanism was carried out in light of the case studies information. It was observed that they are partially applicable but seem not to be acting in their full potential. From this analysis, final observations were made that suggest hypotheses and analyses for further studies that may increase and consolidate knowledge about corporate foundations governance.

Повний текст джерелаWe suggest in this thesis to examine the State’s modalities of action in terms of framing and control of the economic and financial sphere. This study leads us to study the concept of regulation through an epistemological, legal, economic and philosophical approach. De facto, the analysis of the functions of government proves to be essential insofar as we observe the evolution of the State’s regulatory praxis with regard to the economic doctrines and the legal and operational architecture of the institutions of regulation. The functions of securization of the economic sphere shed lights on the complex space between the regulator and the regulated entity. In this context, the study of ethical issues with the importance of the concept of contextualization in terms of the moralization of financial markets imply the confrontation of the regulatory praxis with key concepts as governmentality, categorization and performativity. Successively, guardian, regulator and strategist, the State is inserted, today in the digital age, in a fragmented and global world. Understanding the phenomenon of “co-regulation” and “inter-regulation” requires, first of all, putting into perspective the notion of responsibility and independence of actors and institutions. In this reflection, the apprehension of risk by public authorities underlines some limits both in risk models and in models of regulation

Повний текст джерелаThis dissertation suggests that the greening of the corporate governance mechanisms—meaning efforts to tie executive compensation to environmental targets (incentive) and to enhance board responsibility over environmental performance (monitoring)—induces managers to comply with pressures to lower toxic emissions in the U.S. high polluting industries.
Although emphasis has been placed on the benefits of greater use of both incentive and monitoring mechanisms to improve corporate environmental performance, there is little consideration given to the potential costs associated with their implementation. I argue that mechanisms of incentive in the form of environmental compensation may serve as substitute of mechanisms of monitoring by the environmental board committee.
However, contrary to my expectations, results show that incentive and monitoring are positively associated. Nonetheless, I suggest that these mechanisms are most effective in improving environmental performance when adopted under specific circumstances of environmental risk. I found that the existence of environmental compensation is positively associated with firms' environmental risk. Furthermore, there is weak evidence showing that environmental board committees are more prevalent in firms that face conditions of moderate environmental risk.
This dissertation employs a panel regression model with random-effects. The sample consists of the S&P500 firms that are required to report toxic emissions to the Toxic Release Inventory, years 2006 to 2011. Data was collected from proxy statements, annual reports, and various other databases.

Повний текст джерелаThe recognition that political institutions matter is relatively recent and is the result of several interacting factors. The purpose of our research is to explain how foreign aid is related to governance issues both in recipient countries (developing countries) and in donor countries. Development aid is provided by: bilateral donors (29 DAC3 donors and 19 non-DAC donors), multilateral donors and private donors (e.g. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation). Foreign aid differs according to the intended purposes: reforming national policies (economic policies or other types) and political institutions, and providing humanitarian assistance. The focus of our dissertation is on the emergence of non-strictly economic criteria (mainly institutional criteria) within the donor community as well as their impact on aid allocation and effectiveness. Therefore, we will address several questions: (1) Is the recognition of the institutional nature of aid appropriate?(2) Is aid political? (3) What are the economic implications of political aid (or aid based on institutional performance) ?
