Uncertainty and Financial Fragility

REA Auditado

My thesis analyzes various types of uncertainties and their effects on financial fragility in the context of information asymmetries and bank-run models. When various generations of currency crisis are considered, it is observed that the financial system and fragilities associated with it plays a critical role in more recent crisis episodes. Therefore, focusing on the financial system can possibly lead to a better understanding of how and why these crises took place. The analysis presented here aims to provide some new insights about this topic.

New School Geographies: Engaging young people?

REA Auditado

In 2003 school geography was in a state of crisis: enrolment in GCSE geography courses had fallen by a third over the previous eight years. In response, a radical new ‘pilot’ geography GCSE course was designed and implemented in England. The GCSE was an attempt to rejuvenate a school subject that had become out of date, with little change to its content since the inauguration of the National Curriculum in 1988. With student-centred learning at its heart the GCSE aimed to make the subject much more exciting and relevant to young people.

This study has examined the relationship between corporate governance structures and the performance of a sample of companies listed on the Malaysian Stock Exchange in the post-Asian financial crisis period beginning 2001 and ending in 2003. The sample was selected to provide matched-pairs of government linked companies (GLCs) and non-government linked companies (NGLCs), as it was anticipated that these groups would have different governance structures and that these differences might impinge on the association being studied.
