The Research Foundation recognized the importance of capturing and preserving this wealth of knowledge and thus enthusiastically encouraged the development of this Research Foundation monograph. Robert F. Bruner, Robert M. Conroy, CFA, Wei Li, Elizabeth F. O’Hallo- ran, and Miguel Palacios Lleras have produced an outstanding document that extends far beyond a summary of the conference’s papers and presentations. They have arranged the contents of the conference into a cohesive collection of chapters, adding where necessary supplementary data and information that was not explicitly presented or discussed by the conference’s participants. Moreover, the authors have brought their own considerable expertise to bear on the subject, resulting in an even richer collection of knowledge filtered through a prism that focuses it on the very real challenges faced every day by investors in emerging markets. For example, they describe the essential features that distinguish emerg- ing markets from developed markets. They provide a statistical summary of the return and risk attributes of emerging markets. They test the efficiency of emerging markets. They evaluate the degree of integration among emerging markets. And finally, they provide an extensive review of valuation methods applied to emerging market securities. Their analysis provides valuable insights about appropriate allocation to emerging markets within broad portfolios, the choice of active or passive management, the relative importance of country and sector stratification, the optimal currency exposure, and the efficacy of fundamental and quantitative analysis. This monograph is clearly an invaluable resource for those who invest in emerging markets, yet it serves a more important purpose.

We show that contrarian strategies prevail in the short-term investment horizon while momentum strategies dominate in the intermediate- and long-term horizons. However, only short-term contrarian strategies significantly outperform the simple buy-and-hold strategy of investing in the market index over the same period. Further exami- nation of these strategies show that the Australian mining sector undermines the performance of momentum while enhancing performance of contrarian strategies. Lastly, using both para- metric and non-parametric approaches, we show that these strategies’ returns are persistent anomalies and not completely explained by standard return-generating models.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT ROBERT BROOKS & COMPANY Records, 1822-90 Reels M582 – M583 Robert Brooks & Company Adelaide House King William Street London Bridge London EC4 National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1964 HISTORICAL NOTE Robert Brooks (1790-1882) was born in Laceby, Lancashire. He was apprenticed to a Hull timber merchant, John Barkworth, who later diversified into shipping and shipbuilding. In 1814 Brookes sailed on a trading expedition to Mauritius on Barkworth’s ship Elizabeth and in 1818-19 he was sent to India. After 1820 he traded on his own account, although he remained closely associated with Barkworth for several years. By 1823 he was the sole owner of the Elizabeth and he sailed to New South Wales and Van Diemen’s land and established links with local merchants such as Robert Campbell Junior, John Rickards, and Raine and Ramsay. This was the only occasion on which Brooks visited Australia. The main interests of Brooks were initially shipping and the import of timber from Australia and New Zealand. He exported goods to local merchants such as Robert Campbell in Sydney, James Cain in Melbourne, and William Campbell & Co in Launceston. Local merchants were used as commission agents and from 1830 onwards he had a resident agent in Sydney: Ranulph Dacre, succeeded by Robert Towns (1794-1873) in 1843. Octavius Browne was his agent in Melbourne from 1847 to 1855. By the 1830s the wool and whaling industries were Brooks’s priority and by the end of the decade he was one of the largest London importers of wool, whale oil and whalebone.

Since November 19, 1834, when Edward Henty (aged 24 years) arrived at Portland Bay, there have been three major political events which have shaped the State of Victoria to make it what it is today: 1. Separation of the Port Phillip District (Victoria) from New South Wales – July 1, 1851 – the Separation Association (formed June 4, 1840) was strongly opposed to convict labour and convict settlement, and English military administration from Sydney, 2. The Eureka uprising in the Victorian goldfields, December 3, 1854, and subsequent ‘Not Guilty’ verdicts involving the Melbourne legal establishment many of whom had been vocal supporters of the Separation of Victoria and opposed to the oppressive English military administration, and 3.

    MSS SET 307 ROBERT TOWNS AND CO. Papers, 1828-1896. M.S., Letterpress, printed 65 boxes, 25 vols; 11m Acquired February, 1917, from William Edward Watson, a partner in Robert Towns and Co. from 1884 until 1912. Robert Towns, 1794-1873, was born in Northumberland, England, and came to Sydney N.S.W. in 1827, ship's captain of the trading vessel Bona Vista. In 1832 he brought out his own ship The Brothers. The following year he married Sophia Wentworth, half-sister of W.C. Wentworth. Towns settled in Sydney, at Miller's Point in 1843 and was appointed mercantile agent to Robert Brooks and Co., London. During the 1850s Towns' ships traded throughout Melanesia bringing back sandalwood, coconut oil and trepang for sale to China. Sir Alexander Stuart became Towns' partner in 1855; their business was named Robert Towns and Co. Both men were closely associated with the Bank of NSW serving as directors and presidents of the bank. In the 1860s Robert Towns and Co. invested extensively in land in North Queensland, sometimes in partnership with Sir Charles Cowper, and became involved in the wool trade. With John Melton Black, Towns built a harbour at Cleveland Bay to provide access for his ships to transport wool. The settlement which grew up was named Townsville in his honour. A cotton plantation employing labour brought under contract from Melanesia was set up on the Logan River, Queensland. At the age of 70, Towns moved to Cranbrook, Rose Bay in Sydney, where he died on 11 April 1873. CONTENTS Item No.

  • Run Economic Growth? Evidence from New South Wales, 1862-1882 Edwyna Harrisa
    Does franchise extension reduce short-run economic growth? Evidence from New South Wales, 1862-1882 Edwyna Harrisa *Draft only, please do not cite without permission ABstract Empirical studies have established that franchise extension has positive effects on long-run growth because democratisation leads to greater equality of access to resources. However, in the short-run franchise may lead to a redistribution of resources away from important sectors of an economy. This paper examines this proposition by considering the case of land reform in the colony of New South Wales between 1862 and 1882. Reform was a direct result of franchise extension in preceding years that attempted to reallocate land away from the wool sector to small agriculturalists. Wool producers tried to avoid redistribution of their holdings by expending resources on evading reform legislation. These were resources that could have been invested in productive activities and therefore, it is expected that franchise reduced short-run growth because of the institutional changes it induced. The results presented here confirm that evasion efforts acted to reduce both pastoral sector and total GDP in the short-run.

  • The Contribution of the Whaling Industry to the Economic Development of the Australian Colonies: 1770-1850
    The Contribution Of The Whaling Industry To The Economic Development Of The Australian Colonies: 1770-1850 John Ayres Mills Bachelor of Arts (University of Sydney) Master of Professional Economics (University of Queensland) Doctor of Philosophy (Griffith University) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the The University of Queensland in 2016 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Many of the leaders in the colonial communities of New South Wales and Tasmania, and in British trade and commerce, were convinced that the colonies’ economic future depended on the discovery and exploitation of “staples”. In the original formulation of staple theory in economics, staples were export commodities which generate income in excess of meeting needs for local consumption, leaving a surplus available for reinvestment. They were also likely to have strong links to industries which supported them, and the development of which, at least in part, was catalysed by the staple’s growth. The very first staples in the Australian colonies were sealskins, seal oils and bay whales. By 1820, it had become clear that the level of their natural stocks put severe limits on product availability, and therefore they would not achieve the goal of becoming a staple. From the early 1820s, New South Wales began to export colonial-grown wool in increasingly significant quantities, and with marked improvements in quality. At the same time, well established whaling industries, principally the British, began to make substantial investment in deep-sea hunting for sperm whales in the Southern Whale Fishery, which encircled Australia. An Australian whaling fleet began to emerge.

Eleanor Robin 12 March 2017 iii Abstract For two decades in the development of Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania), Captain Charles Swanston (1789−1850) was one of the most influential men in Hobart Town. In the time- honoured tradition of the nineteenth century British Empire, he was the very model of a Merchant Statesman, strengthening the link between commercial enterprise and colonial good. Between 1829 and 1850 Swanston was managing director of the renowned Derwent Bank, Member of the Van Diemen’s Land Legislative Council, an internationally-recognised entrepreneur and merchant, an instigator of the settlement of Melbourne and the Geelong region and a civic leader. His strategic skills, business acumen, far-sightedness and bold ambition contributed significantly to Van Diemen’s Land’s transition from an island prison to a free economy.

  • Launceston Wesleyan Methodists Contributions
    Launceston Wesleyan Methodists 1832 – 1849 Contributions, Commerce, Conscience by Anne Valeria Bailey Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements For the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania October 2008 This thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968 and later. Anne Valeria Bailey, October 2008 This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree in any tertiary institution. To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person, except where due acknowledgment is made in the text of the thesis. Anne Valeria Bailey, October 2008 ii Abstract This thesis argues that the Launceston Wesleyan Methodists 1832-49 were a highly unusual global group. With an elite component, they went far beyond the normal range of colonial Wesleyan Methodist establishments. They have slipped through the net as regards their rightful place in history. What is being rescued from obscurity is this Society, which passed through initial missionary and strategising moves to community involvement, consecration of wealth, status, commercial success, banking involvement and then finally political involvement. It is argued that, in the short time frame designated, it was unusual for a first generation Wesleyan Methodist group to have achieved so much. The thesis is presented in two parts. For an understanding of the Launceston Wesleyan Methodists, the first part lays out the background of the formation of the Wesleyan Methodist Society, showing the varied influences that came to bear on John Wesley’s patchwork of developing theology, as well as Wesley’s evangelical economic principles.

In retirement he worked for 15 years at the University of Auckland Library in an hon­ orary capacity on private pa­ pers including those of A.R.D. Fairburn , Sylvia Ashton­ Warner and John Weeks . The following is an expanded version ofltis essay on Ramllph Dacre published in the Diction­ ary of New Zealand Biogra­ phy, vol 1, pp 97-8, and pre­ sented at a Stout Centre Wednesday Seminar. Ranulph Dacre's career as an entrepreneur covers the pre-colonial and colonial periods of Pacific trade.
