http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEB/article/view/2438
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Early references to intra-industry trade were mostly ignored for many years. It was only in the past two decades that intra-industry trade has received significant attention and has become a leading area for international economists. It has become increasingly common in recent decades due to the growth of international trade, globalization, and the integration of economies. Intra-industry trade can benefit countries by allowing them to specialize in their areas of comparative advantage and to access a wider range of products and services at lower prices. However, it can also pose challenges for some industries and workers who may face increased competition from foreign producers. The purpose of this paper is to review the extensive literature on intra-industry trade, assess the accomplishments of researchers in this area and predict future research directions. The paper evaluates intra-industry trade as a research program and assesses whether it can continue to advance in the future. To organize the paper, the authors evaluate current perspectives in four distinct areas: theory, measurement, empirical evidence, and policy aspects.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Intra-industry trade; Imperfect competition; Classical theories of trade.</p><strong>JEL. </strong>F11; F12; F13.Sakshi AGGARWAL101-211210.1453/jeb.v10i1-2.2438Engaging communication and adherence to blood donation. An experiment on the impact of the preparatory act on the manifestation of retroactive behavioral intention in Cameroonian context
http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEB/article/view/2439
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> The derailment of the train linking Yaoundé to Douala on October 21, 2016 gave special emotional resonance to the need for blood donation. The high number of victims and the horror of experiencing the loss of a life due to lack of blood has accentuated this issue. The daily calls for blood donations in hospitals, however, do not enjoy the same empathy. As a result, equally moving tragedies unfortunately occur in complete anonymity. The aim of this project is to set up a communication protocol to encourage young adults in our high schools, colleges and universities to give blood. Engaging communication, combined with two types of preparatory acts, is our conceptual basis for addressing this problem. As a result, behavioral induction, employing both narrative and argumentative preparatory acts, leads to the manifestation of the intention to adhere to blood donation in the participants of this study.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Intra-industry trade; Imperfect competition; Classical theories of trade.</p><strong>JEL. </strong>F11; F12; F13.Sabine Célestine ETA-FOUDA BIDZOASerge Clement MANY KONO101-2132310.1453/jeb.v10i1-2.2439The ill-fated currency board proposal for Indonesia
http://kspjournals.org/index.php/JEB/article/view/2453
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> In February 1998 Indonesia toyed briefly with the idea of introducing a currency board system as a means of extricating itself from the Asian financial crisis. Although the then president Soeharto announced his government’s intention to implement such a system, international and domestic opposition was so vociferous that he aborted the plan. In my view this opposition was ill-informed. Moreover, it was motivated, to a considerable extent, by a desire to use the crisis to force a president widely disliked among the urban intelligentsia to discontinue some of his favoured economic policies—if not to bring about an end to his presidency—rather than giving top priority to dealing with the crisis itself. The nature of the crisis as it played out in Indonesia remains poorly understood, such that an analysis of the currency board proposal provides an opportunity to correct some misunderstandings and dispel some of the myths about this major episode in Indonesia’s modern history. In this paper I argue that in fact Soeharto’s embrace of the proposal was sensible, and that it was motivated by the desire to restore macroeconomic stability—which would have been not only to his own benefit but also that of Indonesia’s citizens.</p><p><strong>Keywords.</strong> Currency board; Proposal; Indonesia.</p><strong>JEL. </strong>F11; F12; F13.Ross H.
