Increasing significance of these two most populous economies in the world has caused concerns about their growth and trade prospects and implications for other countries. Directly, the export prices competitiveness in these two countries largely affects the employment and job opportunities in Malaysian economic sectors (industries), not only at present but also in the future. This study attempts to identify these affected industries by adopting vector error correction (VECM) model using time series data of China and India competitiveness and Malaysian volume of exports by sector. For further analysis, we adopt an innovation accounting by simulating variance decompositions (VDC) and impulse response functions (IRF). From the analysis, the study finds that export competitiveness from India are basically there for Malaysian export demand of all commodities, except for fuel and mining products and textiles. The magnitude of competition from India is definitely larger than from China.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Historically, the economic contribution of rural areas to regions was clear: it was the provider of farm produce and other raw materials such as coal. Rural employment was evidently based on the exploitation of natural capital. Today, natural capital still strongly characterises the profile of rural employment in the European Union but its effect now goes far beyond the traditional rural sector of agriculture. There are in fact four drivers of rural employment and rural economic prosperity, and these can be structured by two complementary analytical directions, namely production based on (a) renewable and (b) non-renewable resources, and consumption by (a) non-residents and (b) residents of a territory, hence Rural Europe 2+2+ . Thus, whether jobs are created through farming, mining, rural tourism or by attracting incomers who set up new businesses, natural capital is a common theme. However, the financial, human, physical and social capitals of rural areas must be improved in parallel with this via an integrated, territorial development approach. In this way, rural areas can become part of a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy in line with the priorities of Europe 2020. 108 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The present world order is neither environmentally sustainable, nor socially acceptable. Major and quick changes are an ethical imperative. A paramount task is to plan and implement innovative solutions for a very different future. In this essay, I look at an individual who is concerned about the current negative social and ecological trends and try to give new insights about his/her action opportunities. Today, straightforward options to make a difference include political participation, civic engagement, and personal-level decisions and activities. For example, citizens may talk to their representatives to influence their opinions and decisions, join civil associations to work on specific issues, or make efforts to live sustainably and encourage others to do so. However, all these options have their own problems: decision makers may not listen to reasonable arguments, civil associations may not get support or make strategic mistakes in the increasingly intricate policy networks, and unsustainable lifestyle choices may prevail due to cognitive reasons. I study these cases, identify particular sources of inefficiency, and point out improvement opportunities. 104 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -There is discrepancy of the diffusion of Financial Participation schemes in EU member and candidate countries. The incidence of FP is conditional on country specific characteristics, firm specific characteristics and/or trade unions attitude. A supportive government and legal framework and a friendly trade union attitude may lead to increasing level of FP incidence. Companies that use other HRM measures (e.g. training) as well as large companies may be more prone to using FP schemes. Looking at the benefits and drawbacks of the variety of qualitative datasets which contain information on FP, we choose the EWCS dataset for our analyzes because of the high response rates, the high geographic coverage of EU member and candidate countries, the large number of observations, and because the respondents of the questionnaire are employees not the management. Our econometric results suggest that FP schemes used in the EU are discriminatory rather than providing equal opportunity for all employees - discriminatory with respect to gender and selective with respect to employee category, education level, size and sector of activity of the company. 64 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This study takes its starting point in the exploitative situation that Ethiopian migrant domestic workers face when employed in the Middle East, both working and living in the employer s home without access to human rights or labour laws. In 2009, a new proclamation, based on the ILO Private Employment Agency Convention 181, was enacted in Ethiopia with the objective of further protecting the rights, safety and dignity of migrant workers by strengthening the mechanisms for monitoring and regulating the business of private recruiters. The implementation, the monitoring of private recruiters as well as the application of the proclamation in criminal court is examined. The law describes both public and private responsibility in terms of protection of Ethiopian workers abroad. It is argued that the capacity of licensed private employment agencies generally is too weak to fulfil the responsibility placed upon them and that this responsibility needs to be shared by other sectors of society. Finally, it is concluded that increased number of agencies under governmental supervision would benefit women employed abroad. 88 pp. Englisch.

It reflects the author's sincerely held belief that if there is anything worth saying in economics then it should be possible to make it intelligible to students who have but a basic gronding in economic theory.It is conceded that there are dangers in this philosophy, not least that it precipitates the charge of superficiality,lack of the rigour and, on occasion, possible distortion of the true position of the participants in the debate.Nonetheless, the position taken here is that these risks are worth running especially if the outcome of the endeavour is to provoke the better student to pursue the subject at a more ambitious level. To this end, a relatively comprehensive bibliography is appended. I would like to express my thanks to Ms. Ecaterina Tomsa,Acquisition Editor, of LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing GmbH & Co.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This essay discussed the definition of money laundering, why money laundering is seen as problem, how the money is laundered, reasons for tackling money laundering, effects of money laundering, measures taken by international community, evolution of money laundering control, UN convention of 1988, FATF and effects of FATF on privacy and Britain s response to money laundering. The problem of money laundering arises few decades back. It is very complicated and lethal crime. It is changing its ways on daily basis. This is one of the main reasons that till now the experts couldn t give compact definition to this crime. Absence of compact definition is forcing the law enforcers to remain vigilant. For this purpose the duty of reporting the crime of money laundering is imposed on bank, financial intuitions and many other people from different independent professions. In case of failure the penalties for banks and financial institutions are very harsh. The nature of this crime has forced the countries to make very strict laws to combat money laundering crime. But these strict laws have some negative effects. The most important effect is on the privacy of people. 60 pp. Englisch.
