WINTER 2014 Journal of Austrian Economics
The VOL. 17 | NO. 4 | 419–441 QUARTERLY WINTER 2014 JOURNAL of AUSTRIAN ECONOMICS THE NATURAL RATE OF IntEREST RULE ERWIN ROSEN AND ADRIAN RAVIER ABSTRACT: Considerable research has been conducted on central bank monetary policies. Particular attention has been focused on policies that have the potential to ensure “sound money,” the symptoms of which are full employment and economic stability. Debate has centered on employing rule-based strategies to improve the monetary policies of the Federal Reserve Bank (“the Fed”). This article reviews the Fed’s performance with particular emphasis on its contribution to the 2008 crisis and then suggests an alternative policy which, had it been in place would have dampened the most recent boom and bust. This alternative is the application of a monetary rule that follows Wicksell’s monetary equilibrium doctrine. Although the proposed rule would not eliminate short-term price fluctuations, it should create consistent, inflation-free economic stability, a condition for sustained growth which the U.S. has not seen since the Fed’s inception. KEYWORDS: business cycle, central banking, crisis, economic fluc- tuations, Fed, interest, interest rates, monetary policy, natural rate of interest, Knut Wicksell JEL CLASSIFICATION: E31, E32, E42, E52, E58 Erwin Rosen ([email protected]) holds a Doctorate degree in Political Economy from the Swiss Management Center University of Switzerland. Adrián Ravier (aravier@ ufm.edu) holds a Ph.D. in Applied Economics from the University Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid and is Professor and Research Fellow of the School of Business at Francisco Marroquín University, Guatemala. The authors gratefully acknowledge the insightful comments made on an earlier draft of this paper by Andrew Reed and Nicolás Cachanosky.

The Accreditation Challenges in Transnational Educational Ecology
The Accreditation Challenges in Transnational Educational Ecology: The Ghanaian Experience An Investigative Report Dr. Prosper Yao Tsikata1 Assistant Professor of Communication Dr. A. Kobla Dotse2 Director, Chemical R&D © 2016 Prosper Yao Tsikata & A. Kobla Dotse. All Rights Reserved 1 Prosper Yao Tsikata (Ph.D., Ohio University) is an Assistant Professor of Communication Studies in the Department of Communication Arts, Valdosta State University. He is also a journalist, a consultant, and an activist whose interest is in cross-cultural understanding of health and healing, health campaigns, and cross-cultural challenges in contemporary organizations. Correspondence to: [email protected] 2 A. Kobla Dotse (Ph.D., Georgia Institute of Technology) is an educationist, a chemical technologist, innovation and technical manager, and a cultural critic. He coordinates fund raising activities in support of school projects in Ghana. P a g e 1 | 56 The Ethical Considerations Behind Study Drawing on the ethos of the Society for Professional Journalists (SPJ), this report is premised on the assumption that “public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy” (SPJ, 2014, September 6). Rightly so, this report is guided by the four key considerations of the SPJ as follows: I. Seek truth and report it II. Minimize harm III. Act independently IV. Be accountable and transparent P a g e 2 | 56 Executive Summary The transnational nature of the contemporary educational ecology has placed many national accreditation boards under an enormous pressure in executing their mandate of monitoring, supervising, and granting accreditation to academic institutions and the programs they offer. In recent times, the Ghana National Accreditation Board (NAB from now on) has come under an immense public scrutiny for what the public may have rightly perceived as its failure to perform its gatekeeping role in safeguarding the credibility of educational products sold to the Ghanaian public by some unaccredited educational institutions.

Corporate Governance and Firm Performance: Evidence from Ghana
Corporate Governance and Firm Performance: Evidence from Ghana Written By: Caesar K. Simpson Swiss Management Center University Publisher: Galore Knowledge Publication Pvt. Ltd. www.gkpublication.in Corporate Governance and Firm Performance Corporate Governance and Firm Performance: Evidence from Ghana Caesar K. Simpson Swiss Management Center University Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Finance To: Professor John Marangos February 2016 Galore Knowledge Publication Pvt. Ltd. (www.gkpublication.in) 1 Corporate Governance and Firm Performance ABSTRACT The study investigated whether there exists a relationship between corporate governance and firm performance of listed firms on Ghana Stock Exchange. The study constructed a corporate governance index (0~100) using all the six OECD principles of corporate governance as independent sub-variables for 30 of the 36 listed companies, relying primarily on survey responses and secondary data. Using regression and correlation analyses, the study reported evidence that corporate governance is an important factor in explaining the performance of listed companies on Ghana Stock Exchange. The study revealed a strong positive correlation between the overall corporate governance index and firm performance measured in terms of ROA, ROE and Tobin’s Q which were robust with the results of the regression analyses. All the six OECD principles of corporate governance that constituted the index, individually showed strong positive correlation with the three performance variables. The study further investigated whether there exists a relationship between the corporate governance framework of Ghana and the OECD principles of corporate governance. The results indicated a very robust relationship between the two frameworks. The study made use of control variables that were not previously used in other studies on Ghana.

Managing Culture As Critical Success Factor in Outsourcing SMC Working Paper Series
SMC Working Paper Series ISSN 1662-761X Issue: 09/2009 Julie Beardsell Managing culture as critical success factor in outsourcing Swiss Management Center University Page 1 “I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all the lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.” Mahatma Gandhi, 1921 Swiss Management Center University Page 2 ABSTRACT Outsourcing was originally confined to peripheral business functions and mainly motivated by a cost saving logic, but has now developed into a routine strategic management business model that affects not only peripheral functions but impacts the core business of organizations. Industry research typically indicates that over 50% of firms believe that organizational culture fit is a key criterion in the selection of vendors for outsourcing; showing the need for outsource service vendors to become partners with their customers and to become an extension of them. This paper explores the cultural paradigm for the strategic outsourcing of IT and business processes, exploring the impact that culture plays as an inevitable influencing factor in the global IT services landscape. The author supports the hypothesis that a cultural match between the firm and its vendors is critical to success in outsourcing and makes recommendations for further research in this field.

A Legitimate and Ethical Tax Plan to Minimize Multinational Information Technology Companies Tax Liability
International Journal of Advance Research, IJOAR .org ISSN 2320-9127 1 International Journal of Advance Research, IJOAR .org Volume 2, Issue 11, November 2014, Online: ISSN 2320-9127 A LEGITIMATE AND ETHICAL TAX PLAN TO MINIMIZE MULTINATIONAL INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES TAX LIABILITY ISSAHAKU SALIFU, MSC, (ACCA) Issahaku Salifu is currently pursuing a Doctorate program in Finance from Swiss Management Center University (SMC), Switzerland. E-mail: [email protected]. He is currently a Financial Reporting lecturer at Tamale Polytechnic, Tamale, Ghana. ABSTRACT “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.‟‟ Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790). As old as this quote may be, it is still relevant today as it was then. However, the latter can be minimized by those with clever accountants. This paper suggests a legitimate and ethical tax plan for multinational information technology companies to minimize their tax expenses1. The paper took into account the Corporate Social Responsibility2 (CSR) and profit maximization objectives in devising the tax plan, since unprofitable companies could not be socially responsible. As a result, the paper proposes that the information technology MNE3 should exploit tax havens‟ opportunity by relocating the intellectual property ownership from the UK to a low-tax country, Ireland. Additionally, the paper suggests that the gross profits of the MNE should be shared between the tax haven and the source or relevant resident country; by paying at least ten (10) percent of the gross profit to the source or relevant resident country. Key words: International taxation, Intellectual property, Offshore, Transfer pricing, Tax plan, Tax haven, Tax arbitrage.
