Collective Action $14.88 Small firms – including ‘microenterprises’ and ‘small and medium enterprises’ (SMEs) – play a vital economic role in developing countries. They typically provide half of all jobs. In addition, they foster entrepreneurship and help key sectors adapt to changing market conditions. In light of these benefits, programs promoting small firms have become a cornerstone of economic development policy. Increasingly, however, scholars and policymakers are also exploring the link between small firms and the environment. The first compendium of research and policy analysis on this topic, this book is organized around three questions: How important is small firm pollution? Will forcing small firms to comply with environmental regulations exacerbate unemployment and poverty? And what policy options are available to control small firm pollution? Eleven case studies from China, Ecuador, Honduras, India, Malaysia, and Mexico address these questions. They compare the environmental damages caused by small firms and large ones. They explore the positive and negative economic consequences of pollution control strategies focusing on small firms, the administrative challenges of regulating thousands of firms which are often unregistered and unknown to the government, and they describe innovative approaches for persuading small firms to implement effective pollution controls. The case studies cover a variety of industrial sectors including ceramics, leather tanning, textiles, and agro-industry, and evaluate a wide range of environmental management strategies that include encouraging collective action among small firms, creating economic incentives for pollution control, and helping small firms adopt clean technologies and environmental management systems. Many of the chapters are groundbreaking, addressing topics new to the literature-for example, the role of international trade in greening small firms, and funding small firm pollution control projects by linking them to efforts to |

Credit constraints, job mobility and housing markets in China. $49.99 This dissertation investigates the economic implications of employer-provided housing in the state sector in China. In 1994, the Chinese government began to privatize state-owned housing by offering existing tenants the opportunity to purchase the homes at subsidized prices. I use the reform as a natural experiment to analyze how the creation of private property from state assets affected individual-level decisions in the labor market as well as aggregate dynamics in the housing market.;The second chapter provides new evidence on the impact of private property rights on an individual’s decision to become an entrepreneur. I develop a model of job choices to understand how the institutional features of the Chinese housing market influenced individuals’ decisions to engage in wage employment or entrepreneurship. The empirical results suggest that the property reform led to an increase in self-employment among individuals who received the opportunity to buy a state home.;The third chapter tests predictions of the theoretical model to empirically analyze two mechanisms through which the reform might have led to the increase in entrepreneurship. I find that the reform increased the ability of individuals to finance entrepreneurial ventures by allowing them to capitalize on the value of the real estate. In addition, the unbundling of housing benefits from state employment also contributed to the increase in entrepreneurship by facilitating labor mobility out of the state sector.;While the previous chapters consider the partial equilibrium effects of the reform, the final chapter considers the general equilibrium impact of the privatization of a large stock of public housing on housing prices. I develop a theoretical framework that links the pre-reform allocation of housing in the state sector with the sign and the magnitude the price effects of the reform. The results indicate that the increase in housing prices following the reform were driven by the degree of |

Sometimes, the complex-ities can be overwhelming.In Doing Business Anywhere, international trade and customs expert Tom Travis breaks down the global business basics and reveals the vital principles that apply to businesses across the globe, regardless of country, commodity, or culture.
