The aim of this thesis is to extend understanding of how Australian Indigenous and Nonindigenous art markets are both similar and distinct from one another. Aside from the obvious difference in relation to the categorisation of the types of art works that each sub-market encompasses which is explored in the next section of this chapter, this thesis considers the operation of the market mechanism to determine the auction price in Indigenous and Nonindigenous art markets as well as the overall Australian art market.

This thesis analyses the Australian resources equity market reaction to the 2010 resource tax announcements. These taxes were explicitly designed to meet tax neutrality conditions. Tax neutrality implies that taxes should not incur substitution effects that result in economic inefficiency. These taxes were intended to generate revenue (i.e., an income effect) while not distorting economic incentives.

This thesis involves construction of input-output models measuring the economic impact of a farming innovation organisation (The Birchip Cropping Group) on the Victorian regional economy of Buloke Shire. The input-output modeling undertaken is of two forms; the first being a simple top-down model, and the second a more sophisticated hybrid model. The top-down model is based on input-output coefficients drawn from the Australian national input-output tables, and is regarded as because these input-output coefficients are not adjusted to take account of local economic factors.

Finance is considered as the lifeblood of the economy and it is integral to a country's economic growth and stability. However, this perception has been called into question, particularly following the global financial crisis, giving rise to new research questions. For example, does too much finance harm economic growth? And does the financial sector serve society's economic and social needs? This thesis aims to provide cross-sectional and time-series evidence on the macroeconomic consequences of financialisation in an international context.

This thesis aims to develop a new comparative approach to the study of public sector innovation by examining legislative and regulatory frameworks in a public sector context. The novelty of this approach is exemplified in providing a systematic and detailed account of regulation in the public sector. However, given the sheer breadth of public sector services, a specific area of focus is needed. This thesis will concentrate on public school education as an example of a public sector service to build a series of case studies.

This thesis provides solid evidence to support the notion that idiosyncratic volatility plays a significant role in Australian equity markets. Therefore, it should not be ignored but instead should be considered when evaluating the performance of Australian stock portfolios and pension funds. It can also be used to predict Australian economic conditions.

Trade and world economic integration are seen as the impetus for accelerating the well-beings of the domestic Vietnamese communities and international community in the region. However, an understanding of the link between trade and economic integration from the perspective of Vietnam is missing. Empirical studies on Vietnamese trade are in lack to address these determinants (see, Le, 1996; Nguyen, 2010). This thesis identifies the key factors that have driven the impressive growth of Vietnamese exports during the world economic integration process (1986-2010).
