What is the connection amongst China and ASEAN countries concerning Higher
education management?
What role do these linked factors play in the present state of China-ASEAN ties, and in
Higher education management in particular?
I am currently conducting a research regarding the effect of an FTA formation on the FDI of the FTA member states (which include ASEAN countries). I have read that people used to be able to find bilateral FDI data ranging from 2001 to 2012 from UNCTAD, but I cannot find the data anywhere on the UNCTAD FDI database website now. Where can I find this data? Could anyone share this data with me?
P.S. I know OECD and IMF also provide some bilateral FDI data, but ASEAN countries are not in the OECD, and the IMF data begins from 2009, which make them not helpful to me.
I am planning to conduct a study about the preparedness of a local city if it passes/conforms to the standard of ASEAN. A lot of city has been awarded and recognized already by achieving the criteria set by the guideline. I want to make a research investigating if my city is ready. What research approach/design/methods should i use? Who are the possible respondents? The guideline is found here:
Thank you
I am conducting a research that use the Gravity model as follows:
lnY = lnGDP + lnPGDP + lnOpenness + lnrer + lnn + lndis + ASEAN + Border
where Y is export values, GDP is (GDPi * GDPj), PGDP is (PGDPi*PGDPj)
i: import country, j: export country
I use 2SLS to estimate the model and it pass the endogeneity test, overid test, weak identitfying test. Though the result turns out that GDP and PGDP have no significance to the export values.
Is there anything wrong with my model?
The Stata results are attached below.
Hi, I'm doing my research for ASEAN countries in panel data applied with PMG/panel ARDL model. Since PMG model restrict serial correlation and it was panel, the diagnostic test for Autocorrelation, Heteroscedasticity, RAMSEY reset test, CUSUM test in Eviews sure cannot run in panel data. May I know what should I do?
Common databanks like UNCTAD, OECD, WorldBank and ASEAN Website did not have the data for the last 30 years.
Theres a is an eight-year-old student. Her parents and teachers have observed Theresa engaging in frequent temper tantrums related to minor frustrations. She also has difficulty getting along with peers and maintaining relationships at school. As a classroom teacher, how will be your approach in handling or dealing with students experiencing behavioral problems?
I've been collecting data about ASEAN countries' national budgets in terms of revenues, expenditures, and allocations. I have 10 years data for ASEAN countries and 20 years data for Malaysia. Was wondering what kind of analysis or research could transpire from this? Am open for suggestions.
I do not have the figures for researchers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but for this discussion, I will assume that in a population of researchers, a fair fraction will be researchers in STEM.
The Philippines has a frustratingly small number of researchers (~188 researchers for every 1 million inhabitants). This is probably the reason it lags behind its neighbors in the STEM fields. This, I would suppose, has detrimental effects on the overall development of the country. Its neighbors, such as South Korea (~7500 researchers/million inhabitants), Singapore (~6700 researchers/million inhabitants), Japan (~5300 researchers/million inhabitants), Malaysia (~2400 researchers/million inhabitants), Thailand (~1200 researchers/million inhabitants), China (~1200 researchers/million inhabitants), and Vietnam (~700 researchers/million inhabitants), that have significantly larger densities of researchers have overtaken the Philippines in many aspects of development. Other countries, such as Laos (~16 researchers/million inhabitants), Cambodia (~30 researchers/million inhabitants), Myanmar (~29 researchers/million inhabitants) seem to also lag in many aspects of progress.
What might it take for countries such as ours to raise more researchers and scientists? Would you be able to provide suggestions on how we might do so despite the fact that the Philippines and other countries with small densities of researchers are low- to middle-income countries?

There is always missing data for variable health expenditures and energy consumption for certain countries in ASeaN during period of 1990-2017
The ASEAN integration implements the intra-regional mobility or the free flow of goods, services, workers and investments to be able to provide opportunities to the people to have an employment and business in different regions among Southeast Asian countries. In the past, the separation of work and personal life is a must but nowadays, integrating the passion of the people is connected to different careers and learning how to merge these two variables may lead to a productive and meaningful life (Guillermo,2016).
What are the barriers that constraint the achievement of economic integration in the SAARC countries? Although ASEAN countries and economic cooperation like EU, NAFTA and some other economically integrated region achieved a remarkable success and economic development and integration in different dimensions but comparatively SAARC countries could not achieve any remarkable progress after its establishment.
I am researching on this subtopic of employment mobility as part of the overall employee experience which is main my dissertation topic.
From a policy analysis perspective, what needs to be done so this will benefits all the member countries of ASEAN?
What do you think would probably be the repurcussions of the US-China trade war on ASEAN countries?
In the late seventies, the move towards a New World Information and Communication Order was proposed by Third World countries and international agencies such as UNESCO. In the light of ASEAN Integration, would a regional information and communication policy that covers mass media and new media operations likewise be pursued?
Trading Clocs like ASEAN,NAFTA,EU play an important role in international trade.What are the various factors affecting the mechanism of functioning of trading blocs.
I'm looking for arelationship between the labour market and e-commerce.
I am trying to estimate the trade creation and diversion effects of ASEAN- India FTA. These variables are introduced as suggested in the gravity. Trade creation where both countries in the sample are members of the FTA, Trade diversion where one country is a member while other is a non- member. Also these are introduced from 2010 onwards (when the FTA was impelemented) while the period under study is from 2000- 2016. My queries are as follows:
1) will the trade creation and diversion variables be treated as bilaterally varying or invariant? Or the trade diversion variables are country specific?
2) In a sample of 80 countries, is it important to control for other FTAs other than the one under study? If yes, should the agreements of non- members only be taken into consideration eg. studying the impact of AIFTA, should agreements between India and countries other than ASEAN be controlled or only those agreements are to be controlled which do not involve the members ?
I will be highly obliged if someone could help me with these.
Thank you.
nergy Service Company in ASEAN Specially Malaysia: Potentials and Challenges
In Europe, Africa and other parts of the world, we can observe some kind of supranationalisation (to different degrees, but still). Is it a possible scenario that in some decades, the world will be ordered by five to ten supranational players: EU, AU, Eurasian Union, ASEAN and a policized NAFTA - or is a drawback to nationalism more likely?
Dear Seniors would appreciate your suggestion
I'm looking for suggestion; Is this topic can used in recent research or out-date?.

Thermoelectric generator has a promising use in tropical country, but until now, there is a limited literature found, why?
Within an empirical research class, my group wants to take a closer look at FDI impact on welfare in ASEAN (9 countries in Southeast Asia).
As proxy for welfare we partly created our own dependent variable "pclit" representing nightlight data of each country.
So therefore our model is described as in the "state files" attached.
It would be much appreciated if you have a closer look at our outputs.
Each page shows an OLS output first (xtreg) and an Arellano-Bond Output (xtabond) below.
Considering the idea that our dependent variable "pclit" is correlated with its past values, we created lags.
Questions evolving:
-1) Do we need "lags" for some of our regressors as well (for instance: FDI, GDPGrowth, etc.)
-2) Is the Arellano-Bond Estimator still the "right" framework ? (considering the small N of 9 countries and only about 100 observations; and a T of about 15-19 years: 1990-2008/2009)
-3) We tried to check for serial correlation, unfortunately we could not understand the stata output with "estat abond".
Arellano-Bond test for zero autocorrelation in first-differenced errors
Order z Prob > z
1 -4.6414 0.0000
2 -1.0572 0.2904
3 -.19492 0.8455
4 .04472 0.9643
H0: no autocorrelation
3)What would be the intuition of this output, for example ?
-4) What about the problem with to many instruments in comparison to the observations ?
-5) What could be an explanation for a negative coefficient of "lnFDI" on "pclit"
Thank you very much in Advance for every response.
Have a nice week,
All the best.
What are the best Earnings Quality measures that are best supported by recent literature? I am thinking to measure earnings quality in ASEAN countries. What is the good measure of earnings quality if I want to examine the relationship between earnings quality and corporate social responsibility reporting. The weak investors protection and legal enforcement is also weak in this context.
I am trying to locate surveys/data sets that provide information about ageing and health in a number of countries in the Asian region - including, for example, the 2014 Myanmar Ageing Study, 2011 Viet Nam National Aging Study and SAGE India Waves 0-2; however, I cannot locate studies in Lao PDR, Malaysia, Nepal, and the Philippines. Any connections to colleagues/surveys and advice would be welcome.

Among the anticipated outcomes of ASEAN Integration is intra-regional mobility among professionals. ASEAN professionals may soon be able to practice anywhere within the region. What does the current discourse say on who would stand to gain or lose from this eventuality? We are not referring to countries or nationalities but to sectors or groups with specific descriptors or circumstances. What does the literature say?
Malaysia is just ONE of the countries with an aging population; there are other such countries. "Malaysia's population is ageing at a faster rate than many may have realised. The average life expectancy for women and men in Malaysia is 76 and 73 years, respectively."
At the same time, many young Malaysians are working in distant places: Australia, UK, Europe, and the ASEAN region. What must be put in place to care for aging relatives in a community, when children, the primary care givers, work far from home?
And, how can we ensure that all older adults receive the care and dignity they need to enhance quality of life in old age?
What do you think are the outcomes and impacts of curricular amalgamation leading towards a common accreditation or quality standards of certain disciplines? How does educational system integration affects the social standing, economic well-being and political empowerment of an individual?

I am conducting a research at ESSEC Business School concerning the French Maritime Industry in ASEAN (Hence excluding China, Japan, India and South-Korea).
We divided the industry as follows (all comments are welcome)
- Shipbuilding (Ship construction, repair and maintenance; Marine supplies)
- Shipping
- Offshore industries (Oil & Gas services and supply)
- Defence, Safety & Security
- Transversal/Peripheral activities (Banking, Insurance, Certification...)
We interviewed several French managers of the industry in the region but we are having trouble to find specific, current data in open-source on the ASEAN market to get comparable elements and identify trends, challenges and opportunities for the French.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have searched literature values for Selenium (Sodium selenate). I got USEPA literature 2004. I need other than USEPA: Australian, ASEAN and New Zealand water quality criteria for selenium lc50.
Problem: More and more countries are getting involved in the globalized world, partly by strengthening such transnational communities as the European Union and the AEC (ASEAN Economic Comunity). The free movement of the workforce and of students is a fact in this regard. Besides the need for comparable transcripts there is also the need for the secure exchange of such data between national authorities.
What are current activities in setting up data international exchange standards (such as EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange For Administration, Commerce and Transport, United Nations) for educational institutions?
The ASEAN Integration 2015 compels member countries to align and harmonize their educational system with each other. How will it affect an individual's preferred profession or career? How much will be the financial burden of a country in relation to its capacity to pay, i.e., cost of schooling per capita? What would be its expected impact to the culture and social standing of the population? In what way will an educational system integration empower the people to make them active participants of political processes and governance?
Green ship mainly depend on green design. Ship should be designed to enable them give the minimal effect on the environment during manufacturing and service.
Green shipyard shall ensure the high efficiency of materials and energy in shipbuilding, reduce the harmful emissions and smoothen the process of integrated hull construction, outfitting and painting.
According to the ASEAN has the end-goal to the economic and financial integration in year 2015, it is very interesting to study the EU-style economic integration, which has been accepted as a model of regional integration. However, many scholars argue that a region that consists mostly of developing or less developed countries such as the ASEAN is unlikely to develop closer regional integration or as legalistic as the EU. Is it appropriate to compare the EU and the ASEAN?
