Road Crossing

Abstract Objective The goal of this investigation was to examine how crossing roads with a friend versus alone affects gap decisions and movement timing in young adolescents and adults. Methods Ninety-six 12-year-olds and adults physically crossed a single lane of continuous traffic in an immersive pedestrian simulator. Participants completed 30 crossings either with a friend or alone. Participants were instructed to cross the road without being hit by a car, but friend pairs were not instructed to cross together. Results Pairs of adolescent friends exhibited riskier road-crossing behavior than pairs of adult friends. For gaps crossed together, adult pairs were more discriminating in their gap choices than adult solo crossers, crossing fewer of the smaller gaps and more of the larger gaps. This pattern did not hold for 12-year-old pairs compared to 12-year-old solo crossers. To compensate for their less discriminating gap choices, pairs of 12-year-olds adjusted their movement timing by entering and crossing the road more quickly. For gaps crossed separately, both adult and 12-year-old first crossers chose smaller gaps than second crossers. Unlike adults, 12-year-old first crossers were significantly less discriminating in their gap choices than 12-year-old second crossers. Conclusions Compared to adults, young adolescents took riskier gaps in traffic when crossing virtual roads with a friend than when crossing alone. Given that young adolescents often cross roads together in everyday life, peer influences may pose a significant risk to road safety in early adolescence.

International entrepreneurship represents the process of discovering and creatively exploiting opportunities that exist outside a firm’s national borders in order to obtain a competitive advantage. Firms in emerging economies are increasingly looking towards internationalisation since they are faced with rising competition in their domestic markets and attracted to opportunities in foreign markets. This article investigates international entrepreneurship by examining how the influence of entrepreneurial intensity and capabilities at the firm level influence performance, while at the same time considering environmental influences on this relationship. Based on past theoretical and empirical findings, hypotheses are formulated and then tested using correlational and regression analysis. Generally, the results support the hypotheses where both entrepreneurial intensity and capabilities are positively related to internationalisation and firm performance, while weak evidence is found for environmental hostility as a moderating influence. Several recommendations are made in light of the findings, where it is suggested that firms foster higher levels of innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness while developing human, social and technology related capabilities in order to enhance their performance and increase their levels of internationalisation.

The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between bank regulatory capital and liquidity creation in banks of BIRCS countries. Design/methodology/approach Data from all publicly listed banks of BRICS nations for the period 2003-2014 have been collected and analyzed. Two-stage least-squares regression has been used to control endogeneity. The econometric model includes different control variables that have been selected based on the extant literature. Findings Increase in bank capital negatively affects bank liquidity creation which implies that “financial fragility-crowding out” hypothesis holds for banks of BRICS countries. Originality/value This study provides the evidence of the inverse relationship between bank regulatory capital and liquidity creation from emerging economies. The findings show that there is a trade-off between curtailing bank risk taking and liquidity creation. Therefore, the regulators must formulate policies to strike a balance between the two.

Development Indicators

This study investigates the effect of market competition and development indicators on bank risk-taking behavior, capital regulation, and efficiency of banks in Asian emerging economies in light of their recent financial liberalization. Using stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) for measuring cost and profit inefficiency and regressed simultaneous equations by following the approach of generalized methods of the moment (GMM) the study covers a sample of 191 banks for the period between 2000 and 2014 in three Asian emerging economies such as Bangladesh, China, and India. The robust empirical results of GMM panel estimator reveal three core findings: first, intense competition of Asian banks has a positive association with risk-taking but has a negative correlation with regulatory capital and inefficiency. Second, it provides evidence that in economic progression, sample banks having a strong tendency of taking the risk. But no significant relationship found between GDP growth and capital, and GDP growth and inefficiency. This paper thus provides compelling insights to the policy makers and bank managers in setting appropriate strategy for a financial institution in the region.

Full Probability

Many decisions have to be made under partial ambiguity where information is notavailable about the full probability distribution of risks. To decide in a principled way,one would have to make some assumption(s) about hidden risks. We examined howpeople may balance between the valence of the available information and the potentialinformation concealed by the ambiguity. Under partial ambiguity, people showedflexible skepticism towards the valence of the partially observable probabilisticinformation. When ambiguity size was small, risk taking was sensitive to valence: if theinformation was promising, ambiguity aversion increased, skeptically balancing thepromising prospects of available positive evidence against the hazards of what mightbe hidden from the view. Conversely, when the available information wasdisappointing, ambiguity tolerance increased, cautiously anticipating more than whatthe available information promised. This flexible skepticism was not a trivially reflexiveresponse to valence: when ambiguity was large (i.e., available information wasunreliable), the valence of available information did not impact risk attitudes.
