This chapter examines a unique dataset, which, to the best of my knowledge, has not hitherto been used. It concerns the relationship between corporate governance and firm value in the context of Chinese firms cross-listed on major international exchanges, which include the NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Hong Kong Main Board, the Hong Kong Growth Enterprise Market (GEM), the Singapore Stock Exchange, and the London Alternative Investment Market (AIM). The study is grounded in the bonding theory, which asserts that stringent corporate governance requirements imposed by overseas regulations enhance firm value. Contrary to this theory, firms listed on stock exchanges in mainland China alone command significantly better value than those that are cross-listed on overseas stock exchanges. This results in the conclusion that the general bonding theory cannot adequately explain how cross-listing affects firm valuation in the Chinese context, and thus a refined theory is required.

We aim at quantitatively measuring the liquidation risk of a firm subject to both Chapters 7 and 11 of the US bankruptcy code. The firm value is modeled by a general time-homogeneous diffusion process in which the drift and volatility are level dependent and can be easily adjusted to reflect the state changes of the firm. An explicit formula for the probability of liquidation is established, based on which we gain a quantitative understanding of how the capital structures before and during bankruptcy affect the probability of liquidation.

Cultural differences in aggression are still poorly understood. The purpose of this article is to assess whether a tool for measuring aggression has the same meaning across cultures. Analyzing samples from Spain (n=262), US (n=344) and Hong-Kong (n=645), we used confirmatory factor analysis to investigate measurement invariance of the refined version of the Aggression-Questionnaire (Bryant & Smith, 2001). The measurement of aggression was more equivalent between the Chinese and Spanish versions than between these two and the American version. Aggression does not show invariance at the culture level. Cultural variables such as affective autonomy or individualism may influence the meaning of aggression. Aggressive behavior models can be improved by incorporating cultural variables.
