Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"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.
Optimizing Net Interest Margin (NIM) in the Financial Sector (With Examples).pdfshruti1menon2
NIM is calculated as the difference between interest income earned and interest expenses paid, divided by interest-earning assets.
Importance: NIM serves as a critical measure of a financial institution's profitability and operational efficiency. It reflects how effectively the institution is utilizing its interest-earning assets to generate income while managing interest costs.
Confirmation of Payee (CoP) is a vital security measure adopted by financial institutions and payment service providers. Its core purpose is to confirm that the recipient’s name matches the information provided by the sender during a banking transaction, ensuring that funds are transferred to the correct payment account.
Confirmation of Payee was built to tackle the increasing numbers of APP Fraud and in the landscape of UK banking, the spectre of APP fraud looms large. In 2022, over £1.2 billion was stolen by fraudsters through authorised and unauthorised fraud, equivalent to more than £2,300 every minute. This statistic emphasises the urgent need for robust security measures like CoP. While over £1.2 billion was stolen through fraud in 2022, there was an eight per cent reduction compared to 2021 which highlights the positive outcomes obtained from the implementation of Confirmation of Payee. The number of fraud cases across the UK also decreased by four per cent to nearly three million cases during the same period; latest statistics from UK Finance.
In essence, Confirmation of Payee plays a pivotal role in digital banking, guaranteeing the flawless execution of banking transactions. It stands as a guardian against fraud and misallocation, demonstrating the commitment of financial institutions to safeguard their clients’ assets. The next time you engage in a banking transaction, remember the invaluable role of CoP in ensuring the security of your financial interests.

Economic Risk Factor Update: June 2024 [SlideShare]Commonwealth
May’s reports showed signs of continued economic growth, said Sam Millette, director, fixed income, in his latest Economic Risk Factor Update.
For more market updates, subscribe to The Independent Market Observer at https://blog.commonwealth.com/independent-market-observer.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

30. Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
In addition to the results reported in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”) included throughout this presentation, the Company has provided information regarding certain non-GAAP
financial measures. These measures include “income before interest, other expense and income taxes” (core
operating earnings) and “free cash flow.” Free cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before
the net change in sold accounts receivable, less capital expenditures. The Company believes it is appropriate to
exclude the net change in sold accounts receivable in the calculation of free cash flow since the sale of receivables
may be viewed as a substitute for borrowing activity.
Management believes that the non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation are useful to both
management and investors in their analysis of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. In particular,
management believes that income before interest, other expense and income taxes is a useful measure in assessing
the Company’s financial performance by excluding certain items that are not indicative of the Company’s core
operating earnings or that may obscure trends useful in evaluating the Company’s continuing operating activities.
Management believes that free cash flow is useful in analyzing the Company’s ability to service and repay its debt.
Further, management uses these non-GAAP measures for planning and forecasting in future periods.
Neither income before interest, other expense and income taxes nor free cash flow should be considered in isolation
or as substitutes for net income, net cash provided by operating activities or other income statement or cash flow
statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as measures of profitability or liquidity. In addition, the
calculation of free cash flow does not reflect cash used to service debt and thus, does not reflect funds available for
investment or other discretionary uses. Also, these non-GAAP financial measures, as determined and presented by
the Company, may not be comparable to related or similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
Set forth on the following slides are reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly
comparable financial measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

33. Forward-Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995, including statements regarding anticipated financial results. Actual results may differ
materially from anticipated results as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to
general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates, including changes in interest
rates and fuel prices, fluctuations in the production of vehicles for which the Company is a supplier, labor
disputes involving the Company or its significant customers or that otherwise affect the Company, the
Company’s ability to achieve cost reductions that offset or exceed customer-mandated selling price
reductions, the impact and timing of program launch costs, the costs and timing of facility closures or similar
actions, increases in warranty or product liability costs, risks associated with conducting business in foreign
countries, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, adverse changes in economic conditions or political
instability in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates, competitive conditions impacting the Company’s
key customers, raw material cost and availability, the Company’s ability to successfully integrate the recently
acquired Grote and Hartmann operations, the outcome of legal or regulatory proceedings, unanticipated
changes in free cash flow and other risks described from time to time in the Company’s Securities and
Exchange Commission filings.
In addition, the third quarter and full year 2004 per share earnings guidance is based on an assumed 70.6
million and 70.5 million shares outstanding, respectively, and does not reflect the potential dilutive impact of
the Company’s outstanding convertible senior notes.
The forward-looking statements in this presentation are made as of the date hereof, and the Company does
not assume any obligation to update them.
