Transnational Corporations Review (TNCR) is a prominent international journal that publishes quarterly research on emerging markets on various micro to macro-level issues, addressing economists, policymakers, and research experts. This study attempts to demonstrate a retrospective investigation of the TNCR's productivity and target results across 15 volumes published in 2009–2023. Using VOSviewer software, different methods and tools are used for bibliometric analysis on several factors, such as research topic coverage, publications and their impact, top cited authors, the number of citations and co-citations received, and the methodology used in all contributions to TNCR. In addition, R Studio was used to develop graphical visualization and analyze the Journal's thematic evolution. Across more than 14 years of life, TNCR contributed 503 research documents across multidisciplinary themes. Most themes covered that broadly define the TNCR over this time include globalization, internationalization of firms, global supply chains, and institutional innovations: survey, time series, and quantitative studies. The essential purpose of the published work is to examine existing theories related to international trade and transnational corporations. Co-authorship trends are changing from single-authorship to collaborative research. The study is a comprehensive retrospective evaluation of the TNCR. The review shall be helpful to potential contributors, editors, and other stakeholders of the Journal.

This paper investigates the determinants of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows by classifying determinants into economic, social, and institutional categories, and examines its linkage between FDI in developed and developing economies at an aggregate level. Countries are distinguished in accordance with country income level, and each category is constructed as a composite index by utilizing the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method. Using annual data from 1996 to 2019 and panel data approaches, the determinants of FDI are investigated for 178 countries. Main findings are, first, developing economies are largely dependent on economic indicators to attract FDI. Second, in the case of developed economies, the role of social indicators on FDI inflows is shown relatively more significant than economic indicators. Finally, the linkage between institutional indicators and FDI inflows is weak and statistically insignificant in both developed and developing economies.

本文研究了外国直接投资(FDI)流入的决定因素,将决定因素分为经济、社会和制度类别,并从总体层面研究了发达经济体和发展中经济体的外国直接投资之间的联系。根据国家收入水平对各国进行区分,并利用主成分分析法(PCA)将每个类别构建为一个综合指数。利用 1996 年至 2019 年的年度数据和面板数据方法,对 178 个国家的外国直接投资决定因素进行了研究。主要发现有:第一,发展中经济体吸引外国直接投资主要依赖于经济指标。其次,在发达经济体中,社会指标对外国直接投资流入的作用相对比经济指标更为显著。最后,在发达经济体和发展中经济体中,体制指标与外国直接投资流入量之间的联系很弱,在统计上也不显著。

This study aims to examine the construct validity and discriminant validity of a cyberbullying questionnaire, as well as explore the practical implications of the findings. The study utilizes exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to validate the measurement model of the cyberbullying questionnaire. Data analysis is conducted using established statistical techniques. The results reveal the presence of six distinct dimensions of cyberbullying: Online Privacy Violation, Online Harassment and Discomfort, Online Exclusion and Privacy Violation, Disturbance and Intimidation, Identity Impersonation, and Spread of Secrets. The questionnaire demonstrates good construct validity and discriminant validity, providing a reliable tool to measure cyberbullying experiences. This study is limited to a specific population and cultural context. Further research is needed to validate the questionnaire in diverse populations and explore the relationship between cyberbullying dimensions and associated outcomes. This study contributes to the understanding of cyberbullying by providing a comprehensive framework and validated measurement tool.

本研究旨在检验网络欺凌问卷的建构效度和判别效度,并探讨研究结果的实际意义。研究采用探索性因子分析(EFA)和确认性因子分析(CFA)来验证网络欺凌问卷的测量模型。数据分析采用了成熟的统计技术。结果显示,网络欺凌存在六个不同的维度:在线隐私侵犯、在线骚扰和不适、在线排斥和隐私侵犯、干扰和恐吓、身份冒充和秘密传播。该问卷具有良好的建构效度和判别效度,是测量网络欺凌经历的可靠工具。本研究仅限于特定人群和文化背景。还需要进一步研究在不同人群中验证问卷,并探索网络欺凌维度与相关结果之间的关系。本研究提供了一个全面的框架和经过验证的测量工具,有助于加深对网络欺凌的理解。

Looking under the carpet: A granular approach to the unusual productivity growth in Ireland 地毯下的观察从细微处看爱尔兰生产力的异常增长

This paper is aimed to empirically test for an open and small economy like Ireland the “granular hypothesis” (Gabaix, 2011), originally proved for the US, which posits that firm-level productivity shocks can explain a sizable portion of aggregate productivity fluctuations. Additionally, the author tries and tests a second hypotheses suggesting the, given the small size, less diversification of the Irish economy, compared to that of the US, the granular effect is likely to be stronger and more important. The Irish case is particularly relevant as Ireland has been experiencing increasing economic concentration in recent years, to the point that micro shocks to a few selected firms in 2015 led to significant level shifts in aggregate variables like GDP (+34 per cent) and, particularly, labour productivity (+23 per cent) and total factor productivity (−12 per cent). Making use of an original combination of macro data from the Ireland's Central Statistics Office (CSO) and the OECD with micro data from the Annual Business Survey of Economic Impact (ABSEI), both granular hypotheses are tested in Ireland for the period 2000–2016.

Research findings confirm that productivity shocks to the 5 largest firms (in terms of value added) in Ireland account for a large fraction (about one third) of aggregate productivity growth, which is much larger than that found of the US economy. These empirical results shed light on the origins of Irish productivity fluctuations, the consequences of economic concentration on resilience and the importance of diversification policies aimed at broadening Ireland's enterprise base of productive firms.

本文旨在对爱尔兰这样一个开放的小型经济体的 "颗粒假说"(Gabaix,2011年)进行实证检验。"颗粒假说 "最初是针对美国提出的,认为企业层面的生产率冲击可以解释总生产率波动的很大一部分原因。此外,作者还尝试并验证了第二个假设,即与美国相比,爱尔兰经济规模小、多样化程度低,因此颗粒效应可能更强、更重要。爱尔兰的案例尤为重要,因为近年来爱尔兰的经济集中度不断提高,以至于2015年对少数几家选定企业的微观冲击导致了国内生产总值(+34%),尤其是劳动生产率(+23%)和全要素生产率(-12%)等总体变量的显著水平变化。利用爱尔兰中央统计局(CSO)和经合组织(OECD)的宏观数据与经济影响年度商业调查(ABSEI)的微观数据的独创组合,对爱尔兰 2000-2016 年期间的两个细粒度假设进行了检验。研究结果证实,爱尔兰 5 家最大企业(按增加值计算)的生产率冲击占总生产率增长的很大一部分(约三分之一),比美国经济的冲击大得多。这些实证结果揭示了爱尔兰生产率波动的根源、经济集中对复原力的影响以及旨在扩大爱尔兰生产型企业基础的多元化政策的重要性。

The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of international palm oil prices, prices of its substitute and complementary goods, and the exchange rate on the competitiveness of 30 palm oil exporting countries over the period from 2011 to 2019, using monthly data. The symmetric comparative advantage index was estimated, and a convergence effect was found, whereby emerging countries exhibited greater specialization than industrialized countries. Unit root and cointegration tests were applied, in addition to FMOLS and DOLS methods. The analysis revealed that decreases in palm and vegetable oil prices, coupled with an increase in the exchange rate and prices of soybeans and biodiesel, enhanced the competitiveness of palm oil exports.

本研究旨在利用月度数据,确定 2011 年至 2019 年期间国际棕榈油价格、其替代品和互补品价格以及汇率对 30 个棕榈油出口国竞争力的影响。估计了对称比较优势指数,发现了趋同效应,即新兴国家比工业化国家表现出更高的专业化程度。除了 FMOLS 和 DOLS 方法外,还应用了单位根和协整检验。分析表明,棕榈油和植物油价格下降,加上汇率以及大豆和生物柴油价格上涨,增强了棕榈油出口的竞争力。

The purpose of this study was to explore variables explaining consumers' intention toward the use of eco-friendly bags in retail stores in an emerging market economy, Thailand. The research was hinged on the Theory of Planned Behavior. The study adopted a survey research design where data was collected using a structured questionnaire on a 5-point Likert scale, with the study sample selected by convenience and purposive sampling methods. The sample population consisted of 609 Thai consumers aged 18 years and above who have shopped in retail stores. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to analyze the data. The results revealed that environmental attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control had a positive effect on consumer intention towards the use of eco-friendly shopping bags in retail stores. Whereas subjective norms had the highest effect on consumer intention towards the use of the eco-friendly bag in retail stores. The findings of this study are expected to help the government and private sector to create an appropriate marketing tactics such as using influencers to increase consumer intention towards the use of an eco-friendly bag.

Trade openness is viewed as a way for Asian countries to progress economically and socially. Therefore, determining how trade affects economic growth is crucial for society, particularly for emerging economies. This paper provides empirical evidence on the issue of how openness to trade affects economic growth. A sample of 22 selected Asian countries has been taken as a balanced panel. To carry out the analysis, Auto Regressive Distributive Lag Model (ARDL) on annual data from 1990 to 2020 is used. To select between Pooled Mean Group (PMG) Mean Group (MG) and Dynamic Fixed Effect (DFE) estimators of ARDL, the Hausman test is used. PMG turns out as a better estimator. PMG estimation confirms that trade openness and economic growth exhibit a positive and statistically significant relation in the long run, however, short-run results lack significance. The study concluded with the recommendation that policymakers should adopt and implement an optimal trade policy. The optimal trade policy suggests the sample countries be more open to trade because it may result in higher long-run economic growth.

贸易开放被视为亚洲国家经济和社会进步的途径。因此,确定贸易如何影响经济增长对社会至关重要,尤其是对新兴经济体而言。本文就贸易开放如何影响经济增长这一问题提供了经验证据。本文选取了 22 个亚洲国家作为平衡面板样本。为了进行分析,本文采用了自回归分配滞后模型(ARDL),对 1990 年至 2020 年的年度数据进行分析。为了在 ARDL 的集合均值组(PMG)、均值组(MG)和动态固定效应(DFE)估计器之间进行选择,使用了豪斯曼检验。结果表明,PMG 是更好的估计器。PMG 估计证实,贸易开放度和经济增长在长期内呈现出统计意义上的正相关关系,但短期结果缺乏显著性。研究最后建议,政策制定者应采取并实施最优贸易政策。最佳贸易政策建议样本国家提高贸易开放度,因为这可能会带来更高的长期经济增长。

The effectiveness of monetary policy in Ghana has been questionable with the advent of mobile money activities, which are gradually replacing some of the roles of commercial banks. This study investigates the effects of mobile money transactions on Ghanaian commercial banks' credit-to-deposit ratio and the effectiveness of the monetary policy rate in the era of mobile money services using ARDL techniques, Granger causality and impulse response functions.

The study reveals that Ghanaian commercial banks' credit-to-deposit ratio decreases with increased mobile money transactions, indicating a substitutability relationship. Banks' credit-to-deposit ratio is impacted by non-performing loans and asset returns, while the monetary policy rate has an insignificant impact. The results from the IRFs also showed that a positive shock to monetary policy reduces banks' credit-to-deposit ratio but increases mobile money transactions and non-performing loans. For policy implications, collaboration between commercial banks and mobile money service providers can be enhanced through interoperability services.

随着移动支付活动的出现,加纳货币政策的有效性受到质疑,移动支付逐渐取代了商业银行的部分职能。本研究利用 ARDL 技术、格兰杰因果关系和脉冲响应函数,研究了移动货币交易对加纳商业银行贷存比的影响以及移动货币服务时代货币政策利率的有效性。研究发现,加纳商业银行的贷存比随着移动货币交易的增加而降低,这表明存在替代关系。银行的贷存比受不良贷款和资产回报的影响,而货币政策利率的影响不大。IRFs 的结果还显示,货币政策的正向冲击会降低银行的贷存比,但会增加移动支付交易和不良贷款。就政策影响而言,可以通过互操作性服务加强商业银行与移动支付服务提供商之间的合作。

The reduction of income inequality between poor and rich constitutes one of the goals of governments and policymakers across the world. Financial development remains one way to cope with income inequality but its influence on income inequality is mixed. Thus, this paper explores the direct and indirect transmission mechanisms through which financial development can affect income inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study utilises data from the Standardised World Income Inequality Database (SWIID) for income inequality and World Development Indicators (WDI) for financial development over the period 1995 to 2015. Analysing the data using the System Generalised Method of Moments (SGMM), the results show that financial development solely increases income inequality but its interaction with GDP per capita has a negative and significant effect on income inequality. These findings suggest that the financial development need a good economic growth to reduce income inequality.

减少贫富收入不平等是世界各国政府和决策者的目标之一。金融发展仍是应对收入不平等的一种方式,但其对收入不平等的影响却好坏参半。因此,本文探讨了金融发展影响撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)收入不平等的直接和间接传导机制。本研究利用世界收入不平等标准化数据库(SWIID)中 1995 年至 2015 年期间的收入不平等数据和世界发展指标(WDI)中 1995 年至 2015 年期间的金融发展数据。使用系统广义矩法(SGMM)对数据进行分析,结果表明,金融发展单独会增加收入不平等,但其与人均国内生产总值的交互作用会对收入不平等产生显著的负面影响。这些结果表明,金融发展需要良好的经济增长来减少收入不平等。
