From 57 primary studies found 26 observed variables for aggregation of effect size in the using "Fixed Effect Model" on this mata-analysis. The article also links the theories that are used in the literature, not considered in the most of primary studies, to the empirical results and recommends global management strategy which is needed for business practical affairs. According to the result, the meta-analysis suggests that the number of employees of a MNC, the geological and cultural differneces between the host country and home country, the country-specific international experience of the MNC and export intensity, the international product diversification, the market growth and the market size of the foreign operations, and resource intensity of the foreign operations, the legal restrictions in the host country and the country risk of the home country do exert a significant effect on the decision between cooperative arrangement and a wholly-owned subsidiary. Conversely, for a large number of variables, no significant relationship seems to exist based on the combined results. This is the case, for example, for factor specificity, the r&d-intensity, the subsidiary size, the assets of the MNC and the sales volume of the MNC.

본 연구는 해외로 진출한 우리나라 고기술/지식집약산업 중소벤처기업의 시장지향성과 해외진출성과간 관계에 있어 기업가정신의 영향력을 탐색해보고자 하는 것이다. 기존연구들에서는 기업가정신이 시장지향성의 선행요인임과 동시에 해외진출성과에 영향을 미치는 중요 요인으로 제시되고 있으나, 본 연구에서는 기업가정신이 시장지향성의 선행요인으로서의 역할이 아니라 시장지향성과 해외진출성과간의 관계에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 중요한 조절변수로서의 역할을 수행할 것이라 가정하고 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 보다 세부적으로는 기업가정신을 구성하는 3가지 하위요소 각각도 중요한 조절변수로서의 역할을 수행할 것이라는 가설을 설정하여 계층적 회귀분석 모형을 통한 실증분석을 시도하였다. 한국 해외진출 중소벤처기업 217개의 표본을 이용한 실증분석결과, 기업가정신요인은 시장지향성과 해외진출성과간 관계에 유의한 조절효과를 미치고 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 특히 기업가정신의 하위요인 중 혁신성과 진취성에 유의한 조절효과를 보이고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Currently, Korean real estate market has experienced cooling down of the business because of the global economic crisis which resulted from the subprime mortgage lending practice. In response, the Korean government has enforced various policies at the base of deregulating real estate speculation, such as increasing Loan to value ratio (LTV) in order to stimulate housing demand and supply. However, these policies seemed to result in deep confusion in the Korean housing market. Furthermore, analysis for housing market forecasting, especially international financial crisis on Korean real estate market, has been partial and fragmentary, therefore comprehensive solution and systematical approach is required to analyze the real estate and real estate financial market including causal nexus between market determining factors.

Over the past decades, financial markets have been integrated across countries while income inequality has increased in most countries. This paper studies the effect of financial market integration on income inequality and investigates whether this effect varies with the degree of financial market development. We find empirical evidence that financial market integration and financial market development interact to change income inequality. Specifically, the effect of financial market integration on income inequality is nonlinear, and the degree of financial market development plays an important role. Opening financial markets worsens income inequality in the countries holding the underdeveloped state of financial markets, however, the effect of capital account openness on income inequality is statistically insignificant in the countries with developed financial markets.

This study extends the previous research into the effects of knowledge spillovers on innovation and regional exports growth by more clearly distinguishing, both theoretically and empirically, two different types of knowledge spillovers, namely product and market knowledge spillovers. More importantly, this research provides insights on their role of knowledge spillovers in shaping regional innovative activities and, eventually, regional export growths. Furthermore, this research makes an important contribution to the understudied market knowledge spillovers by developing two variables that could be used to assess the flow of market knowledge spillovers at the regional level: localization economies and export consulting advice. Using secondary data on eight 2-digit manufacturing industries in ten New Zealand regions over a seven year period, this research found that regional competition, localization economies and the availability of export consulting advice have positively and significantly impact on the regional export growth in New Zealand.
