Abstract With the shift in regional economic patterns in China, Chinese labor forces are showing a trend toward concentration. Many scholars are analyzing this trend of labor agglomeration from the perspective economies of scale and transaction costs. This study explains the phenomenon of labor agglomeration from the perspective of the labor system environment. First, it considers that the labor system environment includes the social contract environment and labor contract environment. Second, it attempts to show that a good labor system environment can promote labor agglomeration through theoretical analysis, while technological advancement can promote the agglomeration of professional and technical talents. Third, this study uses provincial panel data to conduct an empirical analysis. Finally, the paper presents some policy suggestions for maintaining a good labor system environment, including improving the level of public service of the floating population and building harmonious labor relations.

Financial development could exert various effects on income distribution of a country. By employing Generalized Method of Moment, this paper aims at examining the impacts of credit market depth, one of most used financial development barometers, on income inequality in Vietnam. The empirical findings show that expanding credit market in the country could lead to higher income inequality. We have not found evidence that supports the hypothesis of an inverted U-shaped relation ever introduced by Greenwood and Jovanovich, although this hypothesis may still hold in a sense that Vietnam has not reached to the inflection point to generate such a curve alike.

The study tries to investigate the key determinants of capital structure of leading automobile companies and the Automobile Industry in India. The study also tracks the theory implications, i.e. trade off vs. pecking order in these firms and the industry in general. An attempt is to see, if individually each sample company and the whole industry are influenced by the same determinants of capital structure. Pooled ordinary least squares and panel data econometric techniques such as fixed effect models are used to investigate the most significant determinants that affect the capital structure choice of 10 leading companies categorized as BSE Auto Top 100 and the Automobile Industry as a whole for a period of 14 years from 2000–2001 to 2013–2014. The study reveals some interesting facts and results. Multiple regression analysis reveals that while profitability and size are significant determinants in most of the leading companies; NDTS, Growth, and Debt service coverage ratio are not significant for these companies. While the Panel data results of the Automobile Industry as a whole reveals that profitability is the only significant determinant having negative relationship with debt equity ratio; and the other variables are insignificant. Also individual companies coefficient results shows implications of mix of pecking order and trade off theories while the panel data results of the whole Industry strongly supports the Pecking order theory.
