Abstract There has been an increasing devotion to the gender balance on executive boards in China. There has been an assumption that increasing the proportion of women in the highest jobs will improve company performance and corporate governance. This research paper tests this assumption by studying a sample of 305 publicly listed healthcare companies in China in the period 2016–2019. We find that the choice of gender for board chair and CEO has a more impact on company performance than merely increasing the proportion of women on boards. Assessing the impact on company performance of different gender composition of board chairs and CEOs, we use an innovative approach to measure the relationship, using a proxy measurement in R&D, sales, and marketing expenses.

Abstract This study focuses on extant internationalization theories, attempting to elucidate the entry modes adopted by Lusophone African SMEs. It offers a critical overview of the leading frameworks, focusing on their primary attributes, challenges, and pitfalls in depicting similarities in the internationalization process and shortfalls in entry mode predictions. Based on the author’s challenges when investigating 29 Lusophone African SMEs in Mozambique and Angola in 2016, an integrated and more holistic framework for internationalization is proposed. It considers advancements in ICT and business digitalization via the internet, web-enabled tools, and platforms, including social media and online professional communities of practices.

Abstract The study examines the relationship between private capital inflows (foreign direct investment and remittances), institutions and economic growth in a panel of 45 African countries from 2002 to 2018. Using the system generalized method of moments (SGMM), the study found that foreign direct investment inflows (FDI) have a significant and positive impact on economic growth in Africa. However, remittances exert no significant impact on economic growth. The study further analyzed the moderating role of institutions in the relationship between private capital inflows and economic growth by examining the impact of the interactions between private capital inflows and institutions on economic growth. The study concluded that the coefficient(s) of the interplay between FDI and institutional variables is negative and statistically significant presupposing that institutions in Africa do not complement FDI inflows in driving economic growth. In the same vein, the coefficient of the interactive variables between remittances and institutions (regulatory requirement) is negative and significant indicating that remittances and institutions are substitutes rather than complements. The implication of the study, therefore, lies in the fact that institutions in Africa are weak and as a result cannot play a supportive role in reaping the positive spillovers of private capital flows to Africa.

Abstract Macroeconomic stabilization frameworks have implications for free trade agreements. Earlier studies on free trade agreement in Africa ignored the ECOWAS sub-region. This study analyzed the effects of macroeconomic variables on free trade agreements in five topmost ECOWAS trading economies. The result revealed that the ECOWAS region does not require a single currency to optimize the benefits from free trade agreements. Besides, the trade creation effect exists through the impact of unemployment on free trade agreements. In conclusion, inflation targeting policy would accentuate the gains from free trade agreement while the single currency is not required for free trade to flourish.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to investigate the link between culture, history, government policies and the development of economic institutions. Specifically, the paper discusses the impact that history and culture, including the influence of Confucianism, have played in shaping the economic institutions of South Korea and the People’s Republic of China. Research results indicate that culture, history and government policies all played a role in shaping the organizational structure of these two East Asian nations. However, China’s economic landscape is dominated by small and medium-sized, family-oriented firms, particularly in the rural parts of the country. The South Korean economic landscape, on the other hand, is dominated by large conglomerate firms called Chaebols which are also dominated by one family.

Abstract This study focuses on the effectiveness of export assistance programs (EAPs) perceived by the SMEs in Central California before and during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through the survey data and semi-structured interviews conducted with representatives from community banks and related government agencies, we find that EAPs were perceived less effective in financial support, information services, export facilitating, and education and training-related programs during the pandemic. Meanwhile, SMEs engaged in international trade more actively sought government assistance benefits, including the Paycheck Protection Program and Economic Injury Disaster Loan during the pandemic, besides EAPs such as Export Credit Insurance.

Abstract The article considers the global economy digitalization impact on public tax administration and analyzes the use of strategic approaches to the formation of fiscal policy in Russia in their relationship with the corresponding approaches of foreign countries. Using the comparative legal method, the study examines the issue of determining the impact of various management tools on improving the efficiency of the state budget. A macroeconomic assessment of the effectiveness of the digital tax administration is carried out and its institutional development stages are highlighted. Digital technologies ensure the taxes and other obligatory payments collection increase, reducing labor costs for tax control, and reducing an administrative burden on business. The main digital transformation approaches of the modern tax system are considered, new innovative developments and digital technologies in Russia are highlighted.
