II Globalisation and the Role of Financial Accounting Information in Japan Globalisatie en de Rol van Financial Accounting Informatie in Japan Proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam op gezag van de rector magnificus Prof.dr. S.W.J. Lamberts en volgens besluit van het College voor Promoties . De openbare verdediging zal plaatsvinden op donderdag 1 maart 2007 om 13:30 uur door Catharina Maaike van Mourik geboren te Gouda III Promotiecommissie Promotoren : Prof.dr. M.A. van Hoepen RA Prof.dr. J.A. Stam Overige leden : Prof.dr. M.N. Hoogendoorn RA Prof.dr. E. Pauer Prof.dr. R.L. ter Hoeven RA IV Acknowledgements This project was initiated by Oscar Volder, who then chose a successful career in asset management. Professors Van Hoepen and Stam gave me the opportunity to start where Oscar left off, which was at the very beginning. They also introduced me to a world of knowledge, gave me wise counsel and support whenever I asked for it, and kept up the good faith even under the most adverse of circumstances. My deepest gratitude and respect go out to them. The four years of research in Japan would have been very hard to realise if it had not been for the guidance and benevolence of Professor Kunio Ito of the faculty of commerce at Hitotsubashi University in Tokyo. My research in Japan was made possible by funding from the Japanese Ministry of Education and the Canon Foundation in Europe. I am grateful for the friendship and support I received from the 3 rd and 4 th years, MA and PhD students of Professor Ito’s financial accounting seminar 1998 to 2000. I believe that Ito-zemi represents the very best that Japanese universities have to offer. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of my boss Philip and my colleagues at the Science and Technology Office and other departments of the Royal Netherlands Embassy in Tokyo, which helped me make the right choice. Atsuko, Mihoko, and Momoko taught me to always look at the bright side of life. I would like to thank my mother, grandmother, Irma and Bert for their unwavering support and encouragement. There is no way I can put into words what they mean to me so I won’t even try. My friends Denise, Elizabeth, Marian and Monique have provided critical, stimulating, supportive and very necessary comments on all parts of life, which helped me to put things into perspective. Arjan deserves special mention as my sempai who saved the day and also has a contagious sense of humour. Last but not least there is Debin, my hero. Thank you for everything. This book is dedicated to my father, because if he were still alive today he would probably read it from the first page to the last.

Globalisation and financial accounting in Japan Globalisation has been made possible by ongoing development in transportation, communication and information technologies, and relies partly on the acceptance of global standards. Internationalisation is premised on the existence of nation states, and depends on effective national and international institutional infrastructure. Although trade over long distances is as old as the Silk Road, international trade took off between 1870 and 1920. After World War II international institutions such as the UN and the IMF were established and international direct investment increased substantially.

  • Heterogeneous Treatment Effects of Safe Water on Infectious Disease: Do Meteorological Factors Matter?
    Cliometrica https://doi.org/10.1007/s11698-017-0169-6 ORIGINAL PAPER Heterogeneous treatment effects of safe water on infectious disease: Do meteorological factors matter? 1 2 Kota Ogasawara • Yukitoshi Matsushita Received: 2 June 2017 / Accepted: 13 November 2017 Ó Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2017 Abstract Mortality from waterborne infectious diseases remains a serious issue globally. Investigating the efficient laying plan of waterworks to mitigate the risk factors for such diseases has been an important research avenue for industrializing countries. While a growing body of the literature has revealed the mitigating effects of water-purification facilities on diseases, the heterogeneous treatment effects of clean water have been understudied. The present study thus focuses on the treatment effect heterogeneity of piped water with respect to the external meteorological environment of cities in industrializing Japan. To estimate the varying effects, we implement fixed-effects semivarying coefficient models to deal with the unob- servable confounding factors, using a nationwide city-level panel dataset between 1922 and 1940. We find evidence that the magnitude of safe water on the reduction in the typhoid death rate is larger in cities with a higher temperature, which is consistent with recent epidemiological evidence. These findings underscore the importance of the variations in the external meteorological conditions of the municipalities that install water-purification facilities in developing countries.

  • Australia and Japan
    DRAFT Australia and Japan A New Economic Partnership in Asia A Report Prepared for Austrade by Peter Drysdale Crawford School of Economics and Government The Australian National University Tel +61 2 61255539 Fax +61 2 61250767 Email: [email protected] This report urges a paradigm shift in thinking about Australia’s economic relationship with Japan. The Japanese market is a market no longer confined to Japan itself. It is a huge international market generated by the activities of Japanese business and investors, especially via production networks in Asia. More than ever, Australian firms need to integrate more closely with these supply chains and networks in Asia. 1 Structure of the Report 1. Summary 3 2. Japan in Asia – Australia’s economic interest 5 3. Assets from the Australia-Japan relationship 9 4. Japan’s footprint in Asia 13 5. Opportunities for key sectors 22 6. Strategies for cooperation 32 Appendices 36 References 42 2 1. Summary Japan is the second largest economy in the world, measured in terms of current dollar purchasing power. It is Australia’s largest export market and, while it is a mature market with a slow rate of growth, the absolute size of the Japanese market is huge. These are common refrains in discussion of the Australia-Japan partnership over the last two decades or so. They make an important point. But they miss the main point about what has happened to Japan’s place in the world and its role in our region and what those changes mean for effective Australian engagement with the Japanese economy.

  • Aesthetics and Ethics in the Reception of Noh Theatre in the West
    AESTHETICS AND ETHICS IN THE RECEPTION OF NOH THEATRE IN THE WEST Diego Pellecchia Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosphy (PhD) Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Drama & Theatre Studies September, 2011 2 Declaration of Authorship I Diego Pellecchia hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 3 Acknowledgements I wish to express my gratitude to my supervisors, Prof. David Wiles and Dr. Libby Worth, and to my advisor, Prof. Matthew Cohen, for providing invaluable assistance, guidance and feedback at all stages of my research. I owe my deepest gratitude to Master-Actor Udaka Michishige, whose efforts in opening the tradition of Noh to foreigners allow me and other students of the International Noh Institute to practice the art and experience the world of Noh. I will be forever indebted to Monique Arnaud, who initiated me to the way of Noh, and encouraged me to embark upon this project, and to Rebecca Ogamo Teele, whose achievements in Noh motivate me to pursue the study of Noh, and greatly inspired this thesis. A special mention goes to Udaka Tatsushige, Udaka Haruna, John Mac Ateer and Dr. Jonah Salz: numerous discussions on Noh and on its transmission in intercultural contexts greatly contributed to the development of central concepts of this thesis. Special thanks to Elena Cazzaro at Biennale ASAC archive for the technical support, and Hara Maiko at Mie Prefectural Museum for facilitating research on Kitasono Katsue.
