TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the repercussions of depreciating the yen against the dollar on the other East Asian economies, which largely peg to the dollar, and show that a major yen devaluation would have a negative impact on incomes in other east Asian economies and that it is not a sensible policy option for Japan.
Abstract: Because many authors have proposed stimulating the ailing Japanese economy by monetary expansion and yen depreciation, we explore the repercussions of depreciating the yen against the dollar on the other East Asian economies—which largely peg to the dollar. Since 1980, economic integration among Japan's neighbors—China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand—has intensified and (except for China) their business cycles have been highly synchronized. These cycles have been closely linked to fluctuations in the yen/dollar exchange rate—through changes in their export competitiveness and inflows of foreign direct investment. We show that a major yen devaluation would have a negative impact on incomes in other East Asian economies and that it is not a sensible policy option for Japan.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the current patterns of the ownership structure of publicly listed firms in six emerging countries: Brazil, Chile, South Korea, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland during the first decade of the 21st century.
Abstract: The turning of the 21st century has been marked by reforms in corporate governance practices around the world. Whether due to shocks caused by the economic crisis in East Asia, Russia and Latin America, or by financial scandals in the United States and Europe, prevalent ways of doing business have changed in terms of demands for greater corporate transparency and accountability, shifts in control of ownership, empowerment of new types of owners and so on. Consequently, countries and firms have adapted their corporate governance policies and practices. In this chapter, we explore the current patterns of the ownership structure of publicly listed firms in six emerging countries: Brazil, Chile, South Korea, Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland during the first decade of the 21st century, and compare our data with existing ownership research of these countries in the late 1990s. We conclude that although concentration of corporate shareholdings continues to be a common denominator among these emerging countries, the processes and structures controlling firms across countries are remarkably different.
