Prelims -- Insurance contracts and derivatives that substitute for them: how and where should their systemic and nonperformance risks be regulated? -- A further equity premium puzzle -- Credit crunch and saving glut in Taiwan: empirical evidences -- Stock market activities and industrial production growth: evidence from 20 international markets -- Bank capital standards and subordinated debt prices -- Accounting fraud, audit fees, and government intervention in China -- The employment status of marriage immigrants in Taiwan -- Human capital investment inequality and rural - urban income gap: evidence from China -- An operational efficiency analysis for organizational consolidation in the business operating departments of a case telecom company -- Financial market variables and housing prices: evidence of ASEAN+2 -- Index.

Sommario/riassunto

The 2017 APBBEF volume includes studies on financial regulations on financial institutions, research on financial markets, and issues on employment and income inequality. Regulations on insurance contracts



and derivatives, bank capital standards and subordinated debt prices, and bank's credit allocation during the financial crises are of great concern to policy makers. On the financial markets, this volume covers stock market activities and their relationship with industrial production growth and housing prices, a further equity premium puzzle, and accounting fraud and audit fees in China. This volume also includes the employment assimilation of marriage and human capital investment inequality and the rural-urban income gap in the Asia-Pacific region. Contributors to this volume include Edward J. Kane (Boston College), J. Huston McCulloch (Ohio State University), Cheng-Few Lee (Rutgers University), Thomas C. Chiang (Drexel University), Chiung-Min Tsai (Central Bank of the Republic of China), Wei-Chiao Huang (Western Michigan University), Hwei-Lin Chuang (National Tsing Hua University), Jingjing Yang (Guangdong University of Foreign Studies), Sayyed Mahdi Ziaei (Xiamen University Malaysia), Ghulam Ali Bhatti (University of Gujrat), and Min-Teh Yu (China University of Technology).

Sommario/riassunto

The aim of this book is to develop, in the reader, the necessary skills required for designing materials, components and structures so as to resist fracture and failure in engineering applications. In order to achieve this objective, the authors have adopted a combined materials science-fracture mechanics-design approach. Although the material covered is designed for an advanced undergraduate course in metallurgy/materials engineering, students coming from mechanical, civil or aerospace engineering backgrounds will also be able to use this text as a course/reference book. In addition to studen
