  • Abstract: the Purpose of This Paper Is to Investigate
    THE ECONOMIC COST OF NUCLEAR THREATS: A NORTH KOREA CASE STUDY. Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate how public announcements of a nation’s nuclear programme development influence neighbouring countries’ stock markets. The countries examined in this case study are North and South Korea. To test this relationship I conducted an event study using MacKinlay’s market model. Six announcement days were studied comprising out of three nuclear tests and three missile and satellite related tests. The findings of this research are in contrast to prior research. Empirical researches on the economic effects of terrorism suggest that acts of terrorism create large impacts on economic activity. The results of our event study show that the announcements caused both negative and positive reactions on the market. Author: Ryan McKee Student number: 6181066 Supervisor: Shivesh Changoer Date: 8th of Jan, 2014 ETCS: 12 INTRODUCTION Stock prices represent investor’s expectations about the future. News announcements effect these expectations on a day to day basis. Terrorist attacks, military invasions, nuclear threats or any other ambivalent events can alter investor’s expectations and so allow the prices of stocks and bonds to deviate from their fundamental value. Once such events have taken place investors often defer from the market in search of safer, more secure financial investments which can lead to panic and chaos on the markets (Chen and Siems, 2004). Such chaos can also be caused by threats from other neighbouring countries. A perfect example of this is the relationship between North and South Korea. Ever since the division of North and South Korea on September 8, 1945 the two bordering nations have had a strenuous relationship, ultimately leading to the Korean war of 1950-1953.

  • The Constant Changes in Asian Potato Chips Over the Last Four Centuries, the Potato Has Come a Long Way from the American Andes
    POTATOBUSINESS.COM / whitepapers Brand Analyses, part 3 - by PotatoProcessing International written by Barbara Zec The Constant Changes in Asian Potato Chips Over the last four centuries, the potato has come a long way from the American Andes. Since its cultivation in Spain in the middle of the 16th century, it quickly travelled to Asian countries, thanks to European immigration and the colonialists. The arrival of the potato brought along potato products including our favorite snack - potato chips. PUBLISHED BY POTATO PROCESSING INTERNATIONAL It is said that travel changes people, making them more open and aware of the world around them. The same thing happened to potato chips in Asia. They started to look and taste different, adopting and using local spices and colors. Since their arrival, the chips sector has grown and flourished, embracing a constant change like the way of "living". In the Asian region, the five top brands of potato chips, according to data provided to us by Euromonitor, are Calbee, Lay's, Koikeya, Orion and Jack 'n' Jill.

Single User PDF - $3620, Multi User PDF - $5500, Enterprise PDF - $5500 A Report Description Summary World trade was already slowing in 2019 before COVID 19 outbreak, weighed down by trade tensions and slowing economic growth, such as uncertainty generated from Brexit, the U.S.-China trade war, the Japan-South Korea trade war. Trade is expected to fall by between 13% and 32% in 2020 as the COVID 19 pandemic disrupts normal economic activity and life around the world, according to the study of WTO.The decline in exports has been mainly due to the ongoing global slowdown, which got aggravated due to the current Covid-19 crisis. The latter resulted in large scale disruptions in supply chains and demand resulting in cancellation of orders. XYZResearch?s analysis shows that as China started reopening its economy, world exports initially recovered across the board. But estimates of the expected recovery in 2021 are uncertain, with outcomes depending largely on the duration of the outbreak and the effectiveness of the policy responses. This research report indicated that the global Confectionery market was valued at USD XXX million in 2019, and it is expected to reach a value of USD XXX million by 2026, at a CAGR of XX % over the forecast period 2021-2026. In terms of the export, China occupied more than XX % export market share in 2019, India occupied XX %.

  • Section II. Case Studies This Section Presents an InDepth Analysis of Ten Trade Product Groups Between Korea and ASEAN Countries
    Section II. Case Studies This section presents an in-depth analysis of ten trade product groups between Korea and ASEAN countries. The trade products were selected based on an analysis of statistical data, by comparing the following factors: ● ASEAN products exported to the world with the high values and volumes; ● Products from the world exported to Korea with the high values and volumes; and ● Products from ASEAN countries exported to Korea in comparatively small values and volumes. The analysis identified the ASEAN products with the greatest possible potential to enter the Korean market. Many ASEAN products are exported to the world, but some of these items enter Korea in relatively small volume. On the other hand, world products are exported to Korea in relatively huge volumes. The case studies makes a detailed comparison of these products using these factors, and conclusions emerge on the potential of ASEAN products in being competitively exported to Korea, compared to other products entering Korea from other countries. The product groups are as follows: ● Confectionary● Toys and sports equipment ● Fishery products (shrimps and crabs) ● Jewelry ● Beer and beverages ● Home textiles ● Coffee ● Aromatic products ● Lighting fixtures ● Furniture (seats) The case study of each product group proceeds with the analysis based on the following outline: 1. Market conditions in Korea 2. Trends in trade 3. Key considerations in exporting to Korea 4. Customs duties and taxes 5. List of major importers and trade exhibitions in Korea 64 111 Confectionery 1. Market conditions in Korea (1) Definition of category In 2006, ASEAN's total exports of confectionery commodities under HS Codes 1704, 1905 and 2106 amounted to $245,527,000 (up 35% from 2005), $518,024,000 (up 14.8%), and $828,377,000 (down 1%), respectively.
