This study aims to determine the effect of macro variables which include Indonesia's real\ngross domestic income, money supply, consumer price index and interest rates on\ninternational trade mediated by the exchange rate of rupiah against the dollar. This type of\nresearch is descriptive research with quantitative approach. Determination of the sample\nbased on quarterly time series data 2010-2014. This study uses path analysis. The results\nshowed domestic gross product, the money supply, and interest rates together have a\nsignificant effect on the exchange rate but the consumer price index do not have significant\neffect on the exchange rate. The results also show that the exchange rate has no significant\neffect on imports and exports....
Crowdsourcing and e-commerce provide a lot of advantages to solve problems of\norganizations, companies and products. With the fast growth of the Chinese e-commerce\nindustry, it is important to develop an understanding of online reviews contents to transmit\npossible applications of crowdsourcing with e-commerce. This study investigates the\nrelationship between online reviews and crowdsourcing of products in the Chinese context.\nFor this, an analytical framework is developed and the model is tested using quantitative\nmethods. The findings of the study show a significant influence of online reviews on the\ncrowdsourcing-ecommerce relationship. Several suggestions are for the development of\neffective online review systems in the Chinese context to incorporate crowdsourcing\npractices with e-commerce. This study is the first study that not only shows the various\nperspectives of online reviews but analyses online reviews from potential crowd creativity\nperspective....
This paper examines the relationship between exports and economic output for five major\nAsian economies using annual data in an expanded data set and employing unit root and\ncointegration analysis. It employs a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) that treats all\nvariables in the modified production function as potentially endogenous and then determines\nvia weak exogeneity tests whether some of the key variables can be treated as exogenous\n(omitted from the system). Johansen cointegration tests find a positive long-run relationship\nbetween exports and economic output for the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand.\nCointegration tests find a negative long-run relationship between exports and economic\noutput for India. The Block Granger causality tests and impulse response functions for the\nPhilippines and Singapore find stronger causality from exports to economic output rather than\nthe reverse. Granger causality tests in level form also find significant causality from exports\nto economic output. No causality exists between exports and economic output in the case of\nIndia. Exports seem to promote economic growth in three of the four countries that have\ncointegrated data, which supports the exports-led growth hypothesis found in some of the\nextant literature. The paper does not find cointegration for China because the variables are\nintegrated of different orders from I(0) to I(2)....
The basic objective of this study is to compute the long run relationship between FDI and GDP for south ASIAN\ncountries (Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, India and Maldives). For this purpose, the FDI and GDP data of south Asian\ncountries is collected for the period 1991-2012.the data was analyzed by using technique of unit root test, Johnson\nco-integration and granger causality test. The unit root test (ADF) augmented test confirmed that data is not stationary\nat level but it is stationary at first difference. The Result of co integration test indicates that there exist co-integration\nequations at the 0.05 level. The granger test shows that FDI and GDP in case of Nepal cause a unidirectional causality.\nThe study will help and give guiding principle to policymaker and investor make scheme to prop up economic growth in\nPakistan which is suffering from a high ratio of unemployment....
When observing trade relationships governed by the principles of Fair Trade it becomes interesting to know how\nthese organizations have grown and innovated to be inserted in a global market, generating international business\nnetworks for expanding their markets and products. The networks have received little consideration in Fair Trade\nliterature. Social capital is defined as the relationships, expressed through social networks, personal contacts that\nindividuals and organizations develop to allow them access advantages and benefits, which is an important factor to\ngenerate a competitive advantage. The objective of the research is to analyze the relationship among social capital\nand networks of international business in the field of fair trade, and the results of this interaction in the international\nperformance of the organization object of study. The methodology used is qualitative exploratory. A case analysis\nof Chol-Chol Foundation in the Region of La Araucania in Chile was performed. The results show that the social\ncapital developed by the organization, through the transfer of knowledge through families, belonged to the Fair\nTrade network and being able to rely on different national and international support networks, has allowed opening\nup to international markets where the increase in the number of countries, external customers and a wide range of\nproducts is remarkable. However, the organization has failed to maintain presence in the markets which puts at risk\nthe existing networks....
