It's tempting in times like these to want to hang on to every penny - to view an expenditure as an expense, not an investment, even when the longer-term benefit is significant. So it is with our system of highways, rail lines and bridges - a system so underfunded that it threatens our very livelihood in Southern California. We get a small reminder of that every time we're stuck in traffic, but in fact the situation is far more precarious than some might want to admit.

Previous study shows that equity structure and cultural difference are important factors that influence the performance of joint ventures (JVs). Based on the JVs contract database and Import/Export ranking database we collected, our analysis shows that the performance of monopoly controlled JVs is better that others under the domestic market situation. However, cultural difference is not the hindering factor to performance; in fact, heterogeneity has provided JVs better outcomes. Based on grouped data samples, it is believed that a higher ratio of Chinese equity in JVs will create better export performance.

Microfinance is emerging as an integral part of the new development paradigm, described by the phrase "participation and development. "Although the idea has become quite popular among donor agencies, development practitioners, and academicians, theoretical premises on which this idea is founded seem entirely unexamined. Accordingly, this article investigates the academic merits, as well as potential consequences, of this popular poverty alleviating model from the supply-side perspective and asks a provocative question: Do the microfinance ventures have features which suggest that the establishment of this new finance industry in the Third World countries might further complicate their pervasive poverty problems? The answer to this question appears affirmative to be affirmative. First, t...

Landowners of all types -- including Section 501(c)(7) social clubs -- are often approached by gas companies with land lease and royalty agreements concerning rights to the natural gas beneath the land. Each landowner-lessor's fact situation may present challenges to tax professionals, but Section 501(c)(7) lessors, particularly some of the hunting clubs in Pennsylvania, may present special challenges. Case law reveals that more than one hunting club has run afoul of its -exempt status because of gas leases. Section 501(c)(7) social clubs are subject to Unrelated Business Taxable Income on all income other than gross receipts from exempt function income sources, such as membership dues.
