Dinh, T N; Kuo, K C; Lu, W M and Nguyen, D T (2023) The effect of quantitative easing on Asian construction firms' performance. International Journal of Construction Management, 23(1), pp. 38-47. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
This research employs the Meta-Malmquist productivity index Data Envelopment analysis and panel data regression to figure out the performances of the construction industry from Taiwan, Korea, and China and their relationship to the US unconventional monetary policy-Quantitative Easing (QE). This contributes to the literature of the US QE effect on Asian countries. Overall, Korea is the top developed construction industry with continuous progress in productivity, China shows its improvement in catching up and innovation, and Taiwan firms lag behind the others. The regression results show the significant effect of QE on firm performance at different levels. This is meaningful to the policymakers in applying the same monetary policy to their country. Multi-stage DEA models and new further measures of QE should be considered in the coming researches.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
