  Article: SME Innovation in the Malaysian Manufacturing Sector

  Chew Ging Lee, Cassey Lee
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper examines the determinants of innovation amongst small and medium enterprises in the Malaysian manufacturing sector using firm-level data. For small-sized firms, younger firms are more likely to innovate compared to older firms. However, for medium-sized and large-sized firms, older firms are more likely to innovate. The extent of foreign ownership is not an important determinant of innovation. Small-sized firms with more employees are more likely to innovate. Medium-sized firms that produce for domestic market tend to be more innovative. In terms of ownership structure, medium-sized firms that are public limited companies are less likely to innovate. The relationship between technological characteristics of industry and firms' likelihood to innovate appear to be complex. Higher market concentration is associated with higher probability to innovate for medium-sized firms.

• Article: International women's football and gender inequality

  Robert Hoffmann, Lee Chew Ging, Victor Matheson, Bala Ramasamy
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: A number of authors have identified the determinants of international sporting performance differentials in men's sporting events. This study compares the determinants of men's international soccer team performance with that of their female counterparts and find that a partially different set of variables are important in the two contexts. While economic and demographic influences hold for both, their particular political and cultural factors diverge. These findings highlight different degrees of gender inequality among the countries in the sample in terms of the greatly different economic, political and social significance of the sport depending whether it is played by men or women.

  Article: Coordination and Incomplete Information: an Experimental Study

  Swee-Hoon Chuah, Robert Hoffmann, Lee Chew Ging
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper presents experimental evidence demonstrating that agents' knowledge of strategy alternatives in pure coordination games is inversely correlated with decision-making efficacy. Alternative theoretical accounts of players' choice processes in coordination games are considered to shed light on our empirical results.

• Article: FDI and Pollution: A Granger Causality Test using Panel Data

  Robert Hoffmann, Lee Chew Ging, Bala Ramasamy, Matthew Yeung
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This study reports the findings of Granger causality tests on the relationship between FDI and pollution across 112 countries over 15-28 years. Our results uncover alternative causality relationships between the two variables depending on a host country's level of development.

• Article: The Socio-Economic Determinants of International Soccer Performance

  Robert Hoffmann, Lee Chew Ging, Bala Ramasamy
  [show abstract] [hide abstract]
  ABSTRACT: This paper reports regression results identifying the variables influencing a country’s performance in international soccer games. The results reveal that economic, demographic, cultural and climatic factors are important. In particular, inverted U-shape relationships are identified with respect to temperature and per-capita wealth. We also find a significant interaction between Latin cultural origin and population size, while both variables are individually insignificant. Explanations for our results are offered.
