In March 2016, the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) of Hong Kong published a paper to examine whether the financial market of Hong Kong should introduce regulatory framework to promote equity crowdfunding. This article examines the recent experiences of the United States and United Kingdom in setting a regulatory framework on equity crowdfunding and seeks to identify what Hong Kong can learn from its Anglo-American counterparts in regulating such activity. It is ultimately argued that these experiences provide a good platform for implementing a broadly similar regime in Hong Kong by permitting crowdfunding within the scope of current regulated activities.

The Face

This article develops a pragmatic theory of finance in which markets are considered to be centres of communicative action in the face of uncertainty. This contrasts with the conventional approach that portrays markets as centres of strategic action in the face of scarcity. The argument follows Habermas and entails that a financial market must address the truthfulness, truth, and rightness of the statements made by its participants (i.e., the prices quoted). I claim that these discursive norms have been implicit in historical financial markets as expressed in the norms of sincerity, reciprocity, and charity. I conclude by proposing that ‘trust’ in commerce is a synthesis of the three discursive norms. The motivation of the article is to address the crisis of legitimacy that the financial system is experiencing, particularly in the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US).

there are, as it were, three levels in the title of the discussion, each going further ‘out’ from hong kong, although the direction and perspective could as easily have been reversed, moving ‘inwards’ from the world to china to hong kong, one of history's most successful social, cultural, political, and economic anomalies. there could equally easily have been four levels: hong kong, china, asia, and the world, a framework that would even then have been simpler than, say, ‘london, england, the united kingdom, the european union, europe at large, and the world’, but much the same as ‘lagos, nigeria, africa, and the world’ or ‘los angeles, california, the united states, and the world’.

Growth Hypothesis

Our article investigates the dynamic interlinkages between financial development, tourism development and economic growth in the top 10 tourism destination countries. The knowledge of which series has a causal power to predict tourism can inform policy making about which country needs marketing support and additional investment for its tourism growth. Moreover, results will throw light on which countries are assisted by their ex ante economic and financial development and can thus evolve into a tourism hub through the aid of the general economic development characterizing a country and/or a flourishing financial environment. Our study has employed a battery of cointegration and Granger-causality methods, which prove the robustness of our results. Specifically, we rely on the augmented mean group estimator and the novel Fourier Toda-Yamamoto (FTY)-based Granger-causality test, whose advantage lies in taking into account sharp and smooth structural breaks and resilient to cross-sectional dependence. The FTY reveals that the tourism-led growth hypothesis is confirmed for the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Russia, while economic growth Granger-causes tourism development in the United States only. The financial development growth hypothesis in confirmed only for Spain and the United Kingdom, while economic growth Granger causes financial development in the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Russia.

Research Findings

There has been much scholarly work on the interface between science and religion in the United States and the United Kingdom, but little has been done to compare these to other countries and regions around the world. By studying what scientists think about religion in eight national and regional contexts—the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Turkey, India, Hong Kong, and Taiwan—the researchers provide a more global and nuanced view of science and religion around the world. The chapter previews the methodological scope of the research, findings from each national context, and the main claims of the book.
