Linda Low, Eric D. Ramstetter, and Henry Wai-Chung Yeung 4.1 Introduction Hong Kong and Singapore provide a unique opportunity to examine the im- plications of different methods of classifying investments by multinational cor- porations. On the one hand, classifying investments by country of ownership, that is, by country of the owner of the investing parent firm,has gained increas- ing acceptance and is now widely used in the compilation of U.S. and Singa- porean data, for example. This method differs from classification by country of capital source when the investing firm is owned by a firm from a country other than the country of capital source and seems clearly advantageous when, for example, investments are channeled through holding companies in tax ha- vens like the Netherlands Antilles and the Cayman Islands. In Hong Kong and Singapore, a significant amount of investment is also channeled from foreign- ers through local holding companies to other foreign countries.

    Middle States Geographer, 1995, 28:68-73 REDEFINING HINTERLAND: THE SINGAPORE EXPERIENCE Hong-Ling Wee Department of Geography Rutgers University New Brunswick, NJ 08903 ABSTRACT: Singapore is a small country centrally located in Southeast Asia with its city limits corresponding with its state and national boundaries. The island-Republic presents an interesting and unique situation of the absence ofa traditionally defined hinterland. To understand Singapore's rapid development over the past 30years, it is necessary to begin with a brief history of the city-state's colonial background. This paper explores modem-day hinterland building with Singapore as the case study and the island-nation's role in the regional and international economy. INTRODUCTION this theory given the fact that the political controls over the city and its periphery are exclusively distinct?

However, unlike socialist China, Hong Kong has a market economy, one of the world’s most prosperous.

  • Freedom, Democracy and Economic Welfare
    PART TWO CASE STUDIES IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POLITICAL, ECONOMIC AND CIVIL FREEDOMS copyright The Fraser Institute copyright The Fraser Institute Chapter 4 Economic, Civil, and Political Freedoms: The Cases of Singapore and Hong Kong Alvin Rabushka INTRODUCTION A tale of two cities, Singapore and Hong Kong, is the opposite of Charles Dickens’ Bleak House. Once upon a time, two islands stood barren, with nary a soul or house upon them. In Southeast Asia on the equator, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles acquired the tropical island of Singapore in 1819 from Holland in exchange for Britain’s territorial claims in the Dutch East Indies. He declared it a free port, setting in motion its history as an important trading centre. Captain Henry Elliot, twenty years later, seized Hong Kong from China to provide a secure base for British traders. Re- flecting the laissez-faire sentiments of the day, he declared the island a free port, which developed as a trading emporium between East and West. Both colonies suffered severe wartime devastation under Japanese rule. Yet both rebounded, attaining levels of prosperity that are the envy of the developing world. Singapore is a global city-state, which boldly implemented ambitious development policies and achieved remarkable economic growth with so- cial stability. In the twenty years since it became an independent state in 1965, its per capita gross national product increased from $470 to approxi- mately $6,800. With the exception of an economic contraction during 1985, Singapore generally maintained rapid economic growth, full em- ployment, high productivity, and low inflation rates. The British Crown Colony of Hong Kong was equally successful.

  • Socioeconomic Segregation in Hong Kong: Spatial and Ordinal Measures in a High-Density and Highly Unequal City
    Working Paper 2011-03 Socioeconomic Segregation in Hong Kong: Spatial and Ordinal Measures in a High-Density and Highly Unequal City Paavo Monkkonen and Xiaohu Zhang Department of Urban Planning and Design The University of Hong Kong June 2011 UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Socioeconomic Segregation in Hong Kong: Spatial and Ordinal Measures in a High- Density and Highly Unequal City Paavo Monkkonen Xiaohu Zhang Department of Urban Planning and Design Department of Urban Planning and Design The University of Hong Kong The University of Hong Kong The spatial distribution of households of different income groups in urban areas has drawn longstanding attention from scholars and policy makers as residential location patterns have important implications for social outcomes and the economic efficiency of cities. Recent research on the measurement of socioeconomic segregation has led to the development of an index that is explicitly spatial and accounts for the ordinal nature of income data. The index allows for a disaggregation of segregation levels by scale and income. This paper applies these new measurement techniques to Hong Kong, an ideal case study due to its high population density, high level of income inequality, and the large share of the population that lives in public housing. Findings show that levels of socioeconomic segregation in Hong Kong are high, similar to those found in the United States. However, the shape of the segregation profile across the income distribution is found to be quite different from the United States, with high-income households much more isolated than low-income households. Explanations for this include the mountainous and island geography of Hong Kong, as well as the importance of public housing in the city.
