How Regulation Has Stifled the Taxi Industry

By YueChim Richard On 2015/09/02 · Add Comment · 3,367 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 2 September 2015.) A better and more progressive approach is to obviate the need to require apps companies to use only licensed taxis. This would bring even greater benefits to society by tapping into the full potential of resources in the economy and offering more job opportunities. Innovation for the benefit of services other than passenger transportation could occur even faster.

The New Territories and the English Character

By admin On 2015/06/24 · Add Comment · 3,233 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 24 June 2015.) The British model . . . . was not one of absorption but of tolerance of diversity, so that as long as British interests in making money were not threatened, people were allowed to retain their local customs and culture. . . . . Five hundred men is sufficient to hold down 300 million if your purpose is to tolerate diversity and not to absorb people into your fold.

Justice Beleaguered

By admin On 2015/06/17 · Add Comment · 2,784 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 17 June 2015.)The political rhetoric of the radicals in Hong Kong has deep Germanic origins. Their impatience is familiar and not difficult to understand. Their belief that all society’s evils can be resolved through political democratization alone is foolish. But their political message of impatience should not go unheeded.

Why Does Hong Kong Need Democratic Elections?

By admin On 2015/06/10 · Add Comment · 3,075 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 10 June 2015.)Both Beijing and Hong Kong must appreciate the enormous importance of having a healthy opposition if our city is to thrive economically and socially. A free society based on the rule of law is important for an advanced economy to function properly. The best assurance of an opposition that does not stand in the way of progress is to have the legislature elected by universal suffrage. But Hong Kong also needs a democratically elected Chief Executive by universal suffrage to maintain public confidence in the Basic Law.

Retail Economics and Price Theory

By admin On 2015/06/03 · Add Comment · 2,861 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 3 June 2015.)From an economic perspective, the problem with private elderly care homes is not very different from wet markets . . . . Elderly care requires space, but it requires labor services even more. . . . . I suspect private charity would be more forthcoming if better monitoring services were available for social services.

Who is Afraid of a Popularly Elected Chief Executive?

By admin On 2015/05/27 · Add Comment · 2,938 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 27 May 2015.) After it became clear that sovereignty over Hong Kong would be restored from Britain to China in 1997, it became necessary to introduce a more representative system of government in order to preserve the confidence of the people of Hong Kong in the future. . . . . The analogy is that every legislator must cease to hold each other hostage and openly declare that each of them should vote their conscience for the interest of Hong Kong- exactly opposite to Hong Kong’s path to democracy to date. . . . . unless we realize our true situation, there can be no hope for the future. Hopefully, there may still be a small chance that a final accommodation can be found.

Building Codes and Postwar Reconstruction in Hong Kong

By admin On 2015/05/20 · Add Comment · 7,914 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 20 May 2015.) Singapore avoided a similar fate only through the high-handed rule of Lee Kuan-Yew that forced successful redevelopment. If anyone wonders why life in Hong Kong is so much more lively and dynamic than in Singapore, I think Mr. Way deserves most of the credit. Because of him, the spirit and vitality of common law is also much better formed in our city where development and redevelopment are more driven by private market initiatives.
