"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

• Property-Liability premiums written1 grew 3.7% over the second quarter of 2004, driven by an increase in
Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners premiums written, which grew 5.3% and 8.1%,
respectively. Premiums written grew 4.5% adjusted for the cost of excess catastrophe reinsurance
programs and business ceded to Universal Insurance Company of North America (“Universal”). Allstate
brand standard auto and homeowners policies in force (“PIF”) increased 4.2% and 5.4%, respectively,
from June 30, 2004 levels.
• Property-Liability underwriting income1 increased 11.9% over the second quarter of 2004 to $994 million,
due to increased premiums earned, continued favorable auto and homeowners loss frequencies, lower
catastrophes and favorable prior year reserve reestimates, partially offset by an accrual for the
anticipated settlement of a worker classification lawsuit.
• Pre-tax catastrophe losses totaled $146 million in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $248 million in
the second quarter of 2004. The effect of catastrophe losses on the combined ratio was 2.2 points in the
second quarter of 2005 compared to 3.8 points in the second quarter of 2004. The effect of catastrophes
on net income per diluted share was $0.14 in the second quarter of 2005 compared to $0.23 in the
second quarter of 2004. Catastrophe losses in the second quarter of 2005 include an accrual of $43
million ($28 million after-tax and $0.04 per diluted share) for anticipated assessments from Citizens
Property Insurance Corporation (“Citizens”) in the state of Florida. This assessment is expected to be
partially recovered through premiums written in the state later this year and into 2006. The Citizens
assessment along with the accrual for the anticipated settlement of a worker classification lawsuit
impacted the combined ratio by 2.4 pts in the second quarter.
• Allstate Financial operating income for the quarter was $137 million, an increase of 8.7% over the second
quarter of 2004. Premiums and deposits1 were $4.03 billion, a decrease of 5.9% over the second quarter
of 2004.
• Allstate’s annual operating income per diluted share guidance for 2005 (assuming the level of average
expected catastrophe losses used in pricing for the remainder of the year) is in the range of $6.00 to
$6.40, compared to the previously announced range of $5.40 to $5.80.

2. “Allstate has turned in another very strong quarterly performance,” said Edward M. Liddy, chairman and CEO
of The Allstate Corporation. “We continued to generate profitable growth accompanied by attractive returns on
equity while, at the same time, continuing our disciplined capital management activities. Solid growth in book
value per share is a good indicator of the value we are creating for our shareholders.
“Our property-liability business earned an impressive $994 million in underwriting income, which is an 11.9%
increase over the second quarter of 2004. A relatively mild quarter for catastrophe losses and a continuation
of favorable frequencies for auto and homeowners helped generate this outstanding result.
“We are pleased with the growth in net premiums written for Allstate Protection in the quarter, particularly
given the catastrophe risk management strategies we implemented in a few key markets and the substantial
reinsurance purchases we made in the quarter. Premiums written were up 3.8% compared to the second
quarter of 2004 with Allstate brand standard auto and homeowner premiums written serving as the key drivers
increasing 5.3% and 8.1%, respectively, over the prior year quarter. In a climate of relatively stable pricing
and a more competitive marketplace, we believe this is a good result.
Total policies in force for Allstate brand personal lines grew 3.4% compared to the end of the second quarter
of 2004. Policies in force for Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners grew 4.2% and 5.4%,
respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2004.
“Our retention ratio for Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners remains strong at 90.8 and 88.3,
respectively, compared to 91.0 and 88.2 in the second quarter of 2004. We also continued our rollout of
Allstate® Your Choice Auto Insurance, an innovative new auto insurance product, which provides even more
choice for auto insurance customers. This product is now available in a total of nine states after six new
states came online in the second quarter of 2005 and we are on target for the product to be in a majority of
the country by the end of 2005.
“Our rollout of SRM IV, the company’s newest generation underwriting and pricing process for auto insurance,
remains on track to be in a majority of states before the end of the year. As evidenced by our results, tiered
pricing allows us to segment risks with even more sophistication while helping us achieve the profitable
growth we seek.
“Allstate Financial turned in an improved performance for the quarter. Operating income of $137 million was
8.7% over the second quarter of 2004, driven by lower expenses and investment margin growth. Premiums
and deposits of $4.0 billion decreased 5.9% from the prior year due to reduced institutional product sales and
market interest rates decreasing the competitiveness of fixed annuities. Allstate Financial’s primary focus is
improving returns and then profitably growing the business in those product lines and distribution channels
where acceptable returns can be achieved.
“The challenging interest rate climate has consumers considering alternative savings vehicles such as money
market funds and short- and medium-term CDs because they have become more competitive with fixed
annuities. If this continues, we expect the fixed annuity market to contract in the near term. With Allstate
Financial remaining disciplined in pricing to meet our return objectives, fixed annuity sales may decline
temporarily until the interest rate environment improves.
“We continued to make significant progress on our share repurchase program in the quarter, buying back
14.0 million shares at $796 million. For the first half of the year, we have bought back a total of 27.4 million
shares at $1.5 billion toward the current $4.0 billion share repurchase program.
“Our new leadership structure, with Tom Wilson as president and chief operating officer, responsible for all
insurance operations, is off to a great start. Finally, our performance for the first half of 2005 was excellent
and I remain confident about our prospects for the future. Thus, we have raised our annual operating income
earnings per diluted share guidance for 2005 to a range of $6.00 to $6.40.”

• Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners PIF increased 4.2% and 5.4%, respectively, from June 30,
2004 levels, compared to increases of 4.9% and 6.0%, respectively, in the first quarter of 2005 over the
first quarter of 2004. PIF results in this release exclude impacts from Allstate Canada.
• The retention ratio for the Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners was 90.8 and 88.3, respectively,
compared to 91.0 and 88.2 in the prior year second quarter. Retention ratios in this release exclude
impacts of Allstate Canada.
• New business premiums for the Allstate brand standard auto and homeowners declined 1.7% and 9.6%,
respectively, as compared to the second quarter of 2004, primarily due to declines in certain markets from
proactive risk management actions and competitive pressures.
o Standard auto new business premiums grew 2.1% excluding New Jersey and Florida. In New
Jersey, we continue to experience a decline due to new entrants in the market. In Florida, we
continue to experience a decline due to decreased cross-selling opportunities from our homeowners
business. New business premiums, which represented 9.0% of the total standard auto premiums
written, increased in approximately 60% of the states.
o Homeowners new business premiums grew 3.0% excluding Florida, California and New York.
Declines in these markets are due to our catastrophe risk management strategies. New business
premiums, which represented 12.8% of the total homeowners premiums written, increased in
approximately 70% of the states.
We will continue our disciplined risk and pricing approach, seeking profitable growth on a market-by-
market basis.

5. • Two new homeowners reinsurance programs related to our risk management strategies commenced
during the second quarter of 2005, impacting premiums written.
o We entered into multi-year reinsurance treaties, effective June 1, 2005, that cover excess catastrophe
losses in 7 states, including Florida, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Texas, North Carolina and
South Carolina. The cost of these treaties is approximately $190 million per year, or $48 million per
quarter. The previous treaties had a quarterly impact on premiums written of $23 million. The
second quarter impact of these treaties on premiums written was $30 million and $5 million in 2005
and 2004, respectively.
o We also reached a definitive agreement for a portion of our existing Allstate Floridian customers to
have new policies available from Universal when their existing policies expire and are not renewed.
This program includes approximately 95,000 policyholders, or approximately 1% of Allstate brand
homeowners PIF. We are also ceding premiums and losses on these policies during the period
beginning March 1, 2005 to their expiration date. The impact of this agreement on the second quarter
premiums written was $24 million. PIF is expected to be adversely impacted beginning in the third
quarter of 2005 and during 2006.
Our risk management strategies have decreased our catastrophic risk in the state of Florida, including our
expected per storm retention from the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund. For the current year, our
expected retention for qualifying personal property losses per storm is an estimated $233 million for the
two largest hurricanes and $78 million for other hurricanes. This compares to our per storm retention of
$312 million during the prior year. We continue to consider other enterprise risk management actions
including the expanded use of alternative markets and the acquisition of additional reinsurance to cover
our major catastrophe risks such as hurricanes and earthquakes, including assessments from the
California Earthquake Authority.
• Because Hurricane Dennis, which struck portions of Florida and the gulf coast beginning on July 10, has
only recently occurred, its impact on the company and its subsidiaries cannot be fully determined at this
time.

• Investments including Separate Account assets as of June 30, 2005 increased 13.6% over June 30, 2004
primarily due to sales of fixed annuities and funding agreements.
• As of June 30, 2005, 75% of our interest-sensitive life and fixed annuity contracts, excluding market value
adjusted annuities, have a guaranteed crediting rate of 3% or higher. Of these contracts, 76% have
crediting rates that are at the minimum as of June 30, 2005. For all interest-sensitive life and fixed
annuity contracts, excluding market value adjusted annuities, the approximate difference between the
weighted average crediting rate and the average guaranteed crediting rate is 49 basis points as of June
30, 2005 compared to 51 basis points as of March 31, 2005.
• New sales of financial products by Allstate exclusive agencies increased 13.5% over the second quarter
of 2004 to $588 million.
• Variable annuity premiums and deposits were $459 million in the quarter, an increase of 4.6% over the
prior year and 13.6% over the first quarter of this year. Recent enhancements to the underlying
investment funds, the guaranteed accumulation benefit, the new guaranteed withdrawal benefit and our
new marketing approach are beginning to have a positive impact.

18. Definitions of GAAP Operating Ratios
Claims and claims expense (“loss”) ratio is the ratio of claims and claims expense to premiums earned.
Loss ratios include the impact of catastrophe losses.
Expense ratio is the ratio of amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses and restructuring and
related charges to premiums earned.
Combined Ratio is the ratio of claims and claims expense, amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses
and restructuring and related charges to premiums earned. The difference between 100% and the combined
ratio represents underwriting income as a percentage of premiums earned.
Effect of Discontinued Lines and Coverages on combined ratio is the ratio of claims and claims expense
and other costs and expenses in the Discontinued Lines and Coverages segment to Property-Liability
premiums earned. The sum of the effect of Discontinued Lines and Coverages on the combined ratio and the
Allstate Protection combined ratio is equal to the Property-Liability combined ratio.
Effect of catastrophe losses on combined ratio is the percentage of catastrophe losses included in claims
and claims expenses to premiums earned.
Effect of pretax reserve reestimates on combined ratio is the percentage of pretax reserve reestimates
included in claims and claims expense to premiums earned.
Effect of restructuring and related charges on combined ratio is the percentage of restructuring and
related charges to premiums earned.
Definitions of Non-GAAP and Operating Measures
We believe that investors’ understanding of Allstate’s performance is enhanced by our disclosure of the
following non-GAAP financial measures. Our methods of calculating these measures may differ from those
used by other companies and therefore comparability may be limited.
Operating income is income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, after-tax, excluding:
• realized capital gains and losses, after-tax, except for periodic settlements and accruals on non-hedge
derivative instruments which are reported with realized capital gains and losses but included in operating
income,
• amortization of deferred policy acquisition costs (“DAC”) and deferred sales inducements (“DSI”), to the
extent they resulted from the recognition of certain realized capital gains and losses,
• (loss) gain on disposition of operations, after-tax, and
• adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual items, when (a) the nature of the
charge or gain is such that it is reasonably unlikely to recur within two years, or (b) there has been no similar
charge or gain within the prior two years.
Net income is the GAAP measure that is most directly comparable to operating income.
We use operating income to evaluate our results of operations. It reveals trends in our insurance and
financial services business that may be obscured by the net effect of realized capital gains and losses, (loss)
gain on disposition of operations and adjustments for other significant non-recurring, infrequent or unusual
items. Realized capital gains and losses and (loss) gain on disposition of operations may vary significantly
between periods and are generally driven by business decisions and economic developments such as market
conditions, the timing of which is unrelated to the insurance underwriting process. Moreover, we reclassify
periodic settlements on non-hedge derivative instruments into operating income to report them in a manner
consistent with the economically hedged investments, replicated assets or product attributes (e.g. net
investment income and interest credited to contractholder funds) and by doing so, appropriately reflect trends
in product performance. Non-recurring items are excluded because, by their nature, they are not indicative of
our business or economic trends. Therefore, we believe it is useful for investors to evaluate these
components separately and in the aggregate when reviewing our performance. We note that the price to
earnings multiple commonly used by insurance investors as a forward-looking valuation technique uses
18
19. operating income as the denominator. We use adjusted measures of operating income and operating income
per diluted share in incentive compensation. Operating income should not be considered as a substitute for
net income and does not reflect the overall profitability of our business.
The following table reconciles operating income and net income for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2005 and 2004.

In this press release, we provide guidance on operating income per diluted share for 2005 (assuming a level
of average expected catastrophe losses used in pricing for the remainder of the year). A reconciliation of this
measure to net income is not possible on a forward-looking basis because it is not possible to provide a
reliable forecast of realized capital gains and losses including periodic settlements and accruals on non-
hedge derivative instruments, which can vary substantially from one period to another and may have a
significant impact on net income. Because a forecast of realized capital gains and losses is not possible,
19
20. neither is a forecast of the effects of amortization of DAC and DSI on realized capital gains and losses nor
income taxes. The other reconciling items between operating income and net income on a forward-looking
basis are a non-recurring increase in liability for future benefits, after-tax, loss on disposition of operations,
after-tax, and cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle, after-tax, which we assume to be zero for
the remainder of the year.
Underwriting income (loss) is calculated as premiums earned, less claims and claims expense (“losses”),
amortization of DAC, operating costs and expenses and restructuring and related charges as determined
using GAAP. Management uses this measure in its evaluation of results of operations to analyze the
profitability of our Property-Liability insurance operations separately from investment results. It is also an
integral component of incentive compensation. It is useful for investors to evaluate the components of income
separately and in the aggregate when reviewing performance. Net income is the most directly comparable
GAAP measure. Underwriting income (loss) should not be considered as a substitute for net income and does
not reflect the overall profitability of our business. A reconciliation of Property-Liability underwriting income to
net income is provided in the Segment Results table.
Operating income return on equity is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing the
rolling 12-month operating income by the average of shareholders’ equity at the beginning and at the end of
the 12-month period, after excluding the effect of unrealized net capital gains. We use it to supplement our
evaluation of net income and return on equity. We believe that this measure is useful to investors because it
eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and that are driven by
economic developments, the magnitude and timing of which are generally not influenced by management:
the after-tax effects of realized and unrealized capital gains and losses and the cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle, and non-recurring items that are not indicative of our business or economic trends.
Return on equity is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. The following table shows the
reconciliation.

securities is a ratio that uses a non-GAAP measure. It is calculated by dividing shareholders’ equity after
excluding the net impact of unrealized net capital gains on fixed income securities and related DAC and life
insurance reserves by total shares outstanding plus dilutive potential shares outstanding. Book value per
diluted share is the most directly comparable GAAP ratio.
We use the trend in book value per diluted share excluding unrealized net capital gains on fixed income
securities in conjunction with book value per diluted share to identify and analyze the change in net worth
attributable to management efforts between periods. We believe the non-GAAP ratio is useful to investors
because it eliminates the effect of items that can fluctuate significantly from period to period and are generally
driven by economic developments, primarily market conditions, the magnitude and timing of which are
generally not influenced by management, and we believe it enhances understanding and comparability of
performance by highlighting underlying business activity and profitability drivers. We note that book value per
diluted share excluding unrealized net capital gains on fixed income securities is a measure commonly used
by insurance investors as a valuation technique. Book value per diluted share excluding unrealized net
capital gains on fixed income securities should not be considered as a substitute for book value per diluted
share and does not reflect the recorded net worth of our business. The following table shows the
reconciliation.
