How much extra money can Qianhai companies make -- in a world where local governments adopt the best policies possible? About 10 times more than they would otherwise.

Qianhai can become so much more than just another urban development. We show the data about designing better urban innovation incubators. And review Hong Kong's failed innovation policy. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2907608

Shenzhen does not grow the garden variety type of garage-style tech companies. How do companies, universities and government bodies come together to make start-ups? What does this suggest about Qianhai's future performance? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2907608

Shenzhen and Hong Kong bring something different - and complementary -- to the Qianhai innovation park (urban development). We review the data - and show how Qianhai can become so much more than just a fancy place to live and work. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2907608

The data suggest that a bespoke innovation park serving Hong Kong and Shenzhen won't have much impact on company profits. Or innovation. We review the econometric studies - and Qianhai's costs. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2907608

The video presents the major sections of our larger study - and presents the main results. Qianhai -- a property development in Shenzhen -- can revolutionize innovation for Hong Kong and Guangdong, if local policymakers let it.

Qianhai is a new innovation centre -- meant to combine the powers of Hong Kong and Shenzhen. Yet, right now, its just another real estate project. How can we change local laws to make Qianhai a profit centre? How can Qianhai fix Hong Kong's currently failing innovation policies?

Hong Kong has come a lot way in terms of strengthening its corporate governance. Yet, Mainland markets need it to do more. We show Hong Kong's corporate governance weaknesses -- and show that reform won't cost Hong Kong's offshore incorporation and company secretarial firms very much. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2914865

China's economic fundamentals indicate that now is the perfect time to reform its corporate governance. Yet, China's institutions have "locked-in" existing poor corporate governance. Only outside influence from places like the US (or Hong Kong?) can help. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2914865

Hong Kong's and the Mainland's offshore relations and corporate governance are interlinked. We describe the waves of offshore incorporations in the region. We also provide evidence suggesting that China's poor corporate governance practices allowed companies to skirt Hong Kong's stricter governance standards. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2914865

How much does China's poor corporate governance cost companies? How much would they benefit from reform? For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2914865

How does Chinese corporate governance rank relative to other jurisdictions? How many of its companies excel and/or falter in making profits from better corporate governance. For more, see: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2914865

How can Hong Kong learn the lessons (and obtain the benefits) from the US's extra-territorial corporate governance laws. We describe data measuring the quality of China's corporate governance. We describe how Hong Kong's corporate governance regulations impact on Chinese governance. And describe how we arrived at benefits of $333 billion in extra market value from adopting better corporate governance at home and abroad.

Construction looks like Brunei's scalable sector. As it gets bigger, it should push all growth forward. We present the data and math looking at the best amount of construction resources Brunei's government should put into construction -- now and in the future. For more, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2395661

Good luck trying to find an estimate for inequality in Brunei. Until now. Using publicly avaiable information, we show Brunei's 0.4 Gini coefficient rates favorably with other countries like even Malaysia. For more, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2395661

GDP growth needs to follow a "health route." Too fast or too slow, and growth hurts broader social development. In this session, we describe the 3% growth target which seems to maximize the social development of countries like Brunei. For more, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2395661

Using human development indicator scores seems like a great way to measure government's performance. One simple number tells how good a government chases our hopes and dreams for us. Yet, as more countries use HDI targets, would we see an HDI "arms race"? For more, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2395661

Loans will never be repaid in the IGAD region. In this episode, we describe how securitisation - and selling shares of hard assets (or debts) - can bring the $40 billion needed by countries like Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Kenya and Uganda. For more, seehttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2790661

The IGAD region contains the poorest countries in the world. Perfect candidates for development bank lending/finance. How much money should these financial institutions give? About $40 billion. For more, see https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2790661

Do the poorest countries in the world need their own development bank? Existing development banks have completely failed places like Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Kenya, Eritrea, Uganda and Djibouti. For more, seehttps://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2790661
