For economic transactions, including debt transactions, to occur in a market system, property rights are essential. The literature has focussed on finding empirical proof of the effect of property right regimes, noting differences between de jure and de facto property rights. We use a novel combination of data on wealth and demographics to investigate the effects of property right regimes on economic outcomes at the individual level. At the Cape, de jure property rights between freehold and loan farms differed. Historians, however, suggest that de facto property rights between these two property types were the same. We exploit the random variation of the birth order, specifically being the eldest son, to estimate whether the type of farm and therefore the type of property rights, mattered for economic activity, in our case, debt transactions. Our results suggest that historians were correct: loan farms were as secure in their de facto property rights, despite differences in de jure property rights. Our results confirm that the local context in which property right regimes are embedded is at least as important as the property right regime itself.
经济交易,包括债务交易,要在市场体系中发生,产权是必不可少的。这些文献的重点是寻找产权制度效果的经验证据,指出法律上和事实上的产权之间的差异。我们使用财富和人口统计数据的新颖组合来调查产权制度对个人层面经济结果的影响。在Cape,永久产权农场和贷款农场在法律上的产权是不同的。然而,历史学家认为,这两种财产类型之间的事实上的产权是相同的。我们利用出生顺序的随机变化,特别是长子的出生顺序,来估计农场的类型以及财产权的类型是否对经济活动(在我们的例子中是债务交易)有影响。我们的研究结果表明,历史学家是正确的:尽管法律上的产权存在差异,但贷款农场在事实上的产权方面同样安全。我们的研究结果证实,嵌入产权制度的当地环境至少与产权制度本身同样重要。

Long-Run Spatial Inequality in South Africa: Early Settlement Patterns and Separate Development 南非的长期空间不平等:早期定居模式与独立发展
Q4 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1080/10800379.2018.12097335

New economic geography theories predict that historically densely s ettled areas also become more industrialised. Industrial agglomeration has therefore cultivated spatial inequalities in all parts of the world. South Africa presents an interesting case study, where institutional failures interrupted the ‘usual’ agglomeration process. On the one hand, current day metropolitan regions are located in historically densely populated areas. On the other hand, apartheid-era homelands also had highly concentrated populations, but did not industrialise to the same extent as other parts of South Africa. Much earlier in history, following the mfecane, these locations attracted migrants in search of favourable agricultural conditions and physical security in the face of conflict (they were high rainfall, rugged areas). The benefit of settling in these areas, however, only remained prior to imposed restrictions on land ownership (1913 Land Act) and movement of people (during apartheid). This paper decomposes modern spatial inequality, and establishes that agglomerations and historical institutional failures explain large proportions of spatial inequality. Furthermore, the homelands wage penalty reverses once these controls are introduced into various models: had agglomeration taken its course without institutional constraints, the homelands would likely have developed into high paying local economies. While new economic geography theories hold in the urban core, the densely populated former homelands did not follow this trajectory. Spatial inequality is therefore more severe than it would have been had institutional failures not prevented the former homelands from industrialising at the same pace as other historically densely populated areas.
新的经济地理学理论预测,历史上人口密集的地区也会变得更加工业化。因此,产业集聚造成了世界各地的空间不平等。南非提供了一个有趣的案例研究,在那里制度失败中断了“通常的”集聚过程。一方面,今天的大都市区位于历史上人口稠密的地区。另一方面,种族隔离时代的家园也有高度集中的人口,但工业化程度不及南非其他地区。在更早的历史上,在战争之后,这些地方吸引了移民,以寻求有利的农业条件和面对冲突时的人身安全(它们是雨量充沛、崎岖不平的地区)。然而,在这些地区定居的好处只存在于对土地所有权(1913年土地法)和人口流动(种族隔离期间)施加限制之前。本文对现代空间不平等进行了分解,并确立了集聚和历史制度失灵是造成空间不平等的主要原因。此外,一旦这些控制措施被引入到各种模型中,母国的工资惩罚就会逆转:如果集聚在没有制度约束的情况下进行,母国很可能已经发展成为高收入的地方经济体。虽然新的经济地理学理论适用于城市核心,但人口密集的前家园并没有遵循这一轨迹。因此,如果制度上的失败没有阻止前家园以与其他历史上人口稠密地区相同的速度实现工业化,那么空间不平等就会更加严重。

Bamboo Shoots: Asian Migration, Trade and Business Networks in South Africa 竹笋:南非的亚洲移民、贸易和商业网络
Q4 Economics, Econometrics and Finance Pub Date : 2018-08-01 DOI: 10.1080/10800379.2018.12097336

Interconnected business and trade routes, or “bamboo networks” have long been recognised as engines of growth in Asia. However, as Asian migration expands to Africa, what are their impact? This paper examines the links between trade flows and Taiwanese migration in South Africa from 1975 to 1995. Constructing a bilateral trade series from novel declassified migration and trade data, two aspects of the change in trade are quantified: Firstly, how did international trade change during sanctions, vis-a-vis South Africa and its largest OECD trading partners? Secondly, using migration data, I examine the extent to which the 1975 immigration of Taiwanese investors to South Africa could have increased and diversified trade between the two countries through their investment. Three years after the lifting of sanctions, the share of South African exports to Taiwan was both greater, but importantly more diversified in the sectors in which migrants invested. Using archival accounts, I discuss the possible processes through which these changes to trade could have occurred. Known as the migrant-trade effect, the results suggest that Taiwanese entrepreneurs increased trade by forming business networks and supply chains linking them to Asian markets.
相互连接的商业和贸易路线,或称“竹网”,长期以来一直被认为是亚洲增长的引擎。然而,随着亚洲移民扩大到非洲,他们的影响是什么?本文考察了1975年至1995年在南非的贸易流动与台湾人移民之间的联系。根据新解密的移民和贸易数据构建双边贸易系列,可以量化贸易变化的两个方面:首先,在制裁期间,国际贸易相对于南非及其最大的经合组织贸易伙伴发生了怎样的变化?其次,利用移民数据,我研究了1975年台湾投资者移民南非在多大程度上可以通过他们的投资增加和多样化两国之间的贸易。制裁解除三年后,南非对台湾的出口份额更大,但更重要的是,在移民投资的领域更加多样化。利用档案账户,我讨论了贸易发生这些变化的可能过程。被称为移民贸易效应的研究结果表明,台湾企业家通过形成将他们与亚洲市场联系起来的商业网络和供应链来增加贸易。

African economic history is experiencing a renaissance, and South African economic history likewise. Combining newly transcribed large historical datasets with econometric techniques now standard in the economics literature, economic historians have greatly improved our understanding of South Africa's development over the centuries. Yet many questions remain. This paper reviews the most recent contributions, several of which are published in this special issue, and surveys the road ahead.
非洲经济史正在经历复兴,南非经济史也是如此。将新转录的大型历史数据集与经济学文献中标准的计量经济技术相结合,经济历史学家极大地提高了我们对几个世纪以来南非发展的理解。然而,仍然存在许多问题。本文回顾了最新的贡献,其中几篇发表在本期特刊上,并展望了未来的道路。

All that Glitters is not Gold: The Return on British Investments in South Africa, 1869-1969 闪光的并非都是黄金:英国在南非的投资回报,1869-1969

This article studies the return on British investments in South Africa during the period 1869 to 1969. The study is based on sample of 453 companies, operating within the region of current-day South Africa, and whose stocks were traded on the London Stock Exchange. Our analysis shows that the return on South African investments was substantially lower than what some previous research in the field has claimed. The results therefore challenge the received wisdom that investments in South Africa were particularly profitable to the investors.
本文研究了1869年至1969年期间英国在南非的投资回报。这项研究基于453家公司的样本,这些公司在今天的南非地区经营,其股票在伦敦证券交易所交易。我们的分析表明,南非投资的回报远远低于该领域之前的一些研究所宣称的。因此,这些结果挑战了在南非投资对投资者特别有利可图的普遍看法。

The objective of this study is to empirically contribute to a better orientation of the inflation targeting policy. Specifically, it assesses the impact of inflation targeting on employment in 19 African countries. We used a non-dynamic panel threshold model applied to data that cover the period from 1992 to 2014. We found that, below an inflation rate of 9.16%, the employment ratio increases with inflation, while inflation does not impact the employment ratio beyond 9.16%.
本研究的目的是为更好地定位通货膨胀目标制政策做出实证贡献。具体而言,它评估了19个非洲国家通货膨胀目标制对就业的影响。我们将非动态面板阈值模型应用于1992年至2014年期间的数据。我们发现,在通货膨胀率为9.16%以下,就业率随通货膨胀而上升,而通货膨胀对就业率的影响不超过9.16%。

The purpose of this study is to investigate the nonstationarity properties of unemployment rate in Southern African Countries over the period 1991 to 2014. In particular, we also analyze the hysteresis of unemployment rate in Botswana and South Africa.We used first and second generation panel unit root tests to determine whether output fluctuations are permanent or transitory.Our findings suggest that the shocks to unemployment rate are generally permanent. Results have important policy implications for macroeconomic policy in Southern Africa.
本研究的目的是调查1991年至2014年期间南部非洲国家失业率的非平稳性。特别地,我们还分析了博茨瓦纳和南非失业率的滞后性。我们使用第一代和第二代面板单位根检验来确定产出波动是永久性的还是暂时性的。我们的研究结果表明,对失业率的冲击通常是永久性的。研究结果对南部非洲的宏观经济政策具有重要的政策意义。

Understanding how information, and specifically volatility, flows between markets is of obvious interest to market participants. Given the importance of the FTSE/JSE Top 40 index as a barometer of the performance of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE) in South Africa, this paper investigates the volatility characteristics and volatility spillover effects between it and its corresponding futures contracts. A BEKK-GARCH approach is adopted to model volatility spillover effects, and the DCC-GARCH model applied as a confirmatory analysis of the BEKK-GARCH findings. Volatility spillover flows from the futures market to the index market, indicating that the FTSE/JSE Top 40 futures is the more informationally efficient market.
了解信息,特别是波动性如何在市场之间流动,对市场参与者来说显然很有兴趣。鉴于FTSE/JSE Top 40指数作为南非约翰内斯堡证券交易所(JSE)业绩晴雨表的重要性,本文研究了其与相应期货合约之间的波动性特征和波动性溢出效应。采用BEKK-GARCH方法对波动溢出效应进行建模,DCC-GARCH模型作为对BEKK-GRCH研究结果的验证性分析。波动性溢出从期货市场流向指数市场,表明富时/JSE 40强期货是信息化效率更高的市场。

Volatility spillover flows from the futures market to the index market, indicating that the FTSE/JSE Top 40 futures is the more informationally efficient market.","PeriodicalId":55873,"journal":{"name":"Journal for Studies in Economics and Econometrics","volume":"42 1","pages":"63 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/10800379.2018.12097327","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43869245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The trustworthiness of analysts’ reports has rightly been questioned after the financial crises of the 1990s and 2000s revealed biases in their behaviour. This study investigated the inclination of analysts to issue overly-positive recommendations, the issuance patterns preferred by individual analysts, and the differential impact of recommendations between periods of positive and negative sentiment. The recommendation issuance preferences of 901 local and international analysts, who collectively issued 30 486 recommendations for shares listed on the Johannesburg Securities Exchange from 1993 to 2011, were scrutinised. The investigation revealed that analysts issued their opinions using many different patterns within five possible recommendation categories, and showed signs of positive biases during all market cycles and investor sentiment periods. Surprisingly, analysts issued the same proportion of negative recommendations during periods of low business confidence and economic contraction than during phases of growth- and economic upswing. The BER Business Confidence Index outperformed the SARB’s business cycle indicator in demarcating periods where investors reacted stronger to recommendations issued by analysts. Investors are advised to study an analyst’s recommendation history in addition to current advice.
在20世纪90年代和21世纪初的金融危机揭示了分析师行为中的偏见后,分析师报告的可信度受到了质疑。本研究调查了分析师发布过于积极建议的倾向、个别分析师偏好的发布模式,以及积极情绪和消极情绪时期建议的差异影响。901名本地和国际分析师的推荐发行偏好受到了仔细审查,他们在1993年至2011年期间总共为约翰内斯堡证券交易所上市的股票发布了30486份推荐。调查显示,分析师在五个可能的推荐类别中使用了许多不同的模式发表意见,并在所有市场周期和投资者情绪期都显示出积极的偏见迹象。令人惊讶的是,分析师在商业信心低迷和经济萎缩时期发布的负面建议比例与增长和经济上升时期相同。BER商业信心指数在划分投资者对分析师发布的建议反应更强烈的时期方面优于SARB的商业周期指标。建议投资者除了研究当前的建议外,还要研究分析师的推荐历史。
