Att beräkna den exakta storleken på dessa summor är omöjligt, eftersom stora delar av den narkotikarelaterade verksamheten är olaglig. De kostnadsberäkningar man kan göra blir ungefärliga uppskattningar. Ändå är det viktigt att försöka, eftersom den kunskap man har om kostnaderna för narkotikamissbrukets konsekvenser utg

In this paper, whether Chinese stock market has long-term and short-term liquidity effect is discussed. Traditional use of factors indicating different level of monetary supply is not sufficient in explaining short-term liquidity. Other factors such as foreign exchange reserve, private saving, deposit reserve rate all contribute to the liquidity effect after the split-share reform. Also, the nomin

A shares, traded in Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges with the currency of CNY (also known as Renminbi), are always traded at a premium to H shares of the same firm, which traded in Hong Kong with HKD. On the basis of previous studies, we proposed to introduc

This goes back all the way to the beginning of th
