June 14, 2023, 12:15-13:30, Lunch hour talk, College of Business, Rikkyo University,  Meeting Room 1, Tachikawa Hall, Moderated by Professor Toshiya Ozaki

Topic: "Global Value Chains, Ethnicity, and Economic Development: The Case of the Indian Diamond Industry"

Presenter: Professor Anthony P. D'Costa, College of Business, The University of Alabama in Huntsville

There is considerable work on social networks based on ethnicity, national or otherwise, and on GVCs. Yet there is little empirical discussion in bringing the two together for a better understanding of small businesses becoming global. In this brief presentation based on a larger work I show that ethnicity is a critical factor in influencing the global diamond industry. While the GVCs resulting from this sector serves business interests well, economic development in terms of employment is mixed.

June 28, 2023: 16:00-17:00, STIG, University of Tokyo, The 131st STIG PoP Seminar "Conceptualization of the Study of the New Space Economy" moderated by Professor Kazuto Suzuki.

Venue
SMBC Academia Hall, 4th Floor, IAR (International Academic Research) Bldg,
Hongo Campus, The University of Tokyo & Zoom online [Hybrid]

Presenter: Professor Anthony P. D'Costa, College of Business, The University of Alabama in Huntsville

There is considerable research on the dynamics of different industries. These generally pertain to the technological, economic, business, institutional, and policy dimensions. How relevant are these for the new space economy (NSE)? In this preliminary, work-in-progress presentation based on my conceptualization and editing of The Oxford Handbook on the 'New' Space Economy" I will first discuss the nature of NSE, second, broadly identify some of the key elements of the NSE by disaggregating it, and third analyze whether the new space economy offers opportunities for industry-type of analysis by critically examining the economic development implications in the twenty-first century.
