    How has education for refugees been shaped by broader dynamics of educational privatization? This paper argues that the invoking of the ‘refugee crisis’ narrative has been a crucial force in facilitating the privatization of this sector. The urgency of crisis helps to naturalize private actors’ participation in refugees’ education as equal partners to host governments, multilateral agencies, and civil society. Consistent with Stephen Ball’s (2012) distinction between privatization in and of education, the privatization of refugee education also advances through two dimensions: the creation of a new space – a new ‘market’ – for private actors, and the infusion of market and business principles such as ‘innovation’ into all aspects of education. The crisis narrative has created a new ‘horizon of taken-for-granted’ (Hall, 1993), where it is simply natural that private actors must participate in the assumption of the traditional responsibilities of the state in providing education for refugees. ¿Cómo es que la educación para refugiados se ha vista transformada por la dinámica más amplia de la privatización de educación? Este articulo sostiene que el uso de la narrativa de “la crisis de refugiados” ha actuado como fuerza esencial para facilitar la privatización de este sector educativo. La urgencia de crisis ayuda a naturalizar la participación de actores privados en la educación de refugiados a nivel igual que gobiernos de países de acogida, organizaciones multilaterales, y la sociedad civil. De acuerdo con la distinción de Stephen Ball (2012) entre privatización en y de educación, la privatización de la educación de refugiados también avanza por dos dimensiones: la creación de un nuevo espacio- un nuevo “mercado”- para actores privados, y la inserción de principios mercantiles y empresariales tales como “la innovación” en todos aspectos de la educación. La narrativa de crisis ya ha creado un nuevo “ámbito de dado-por-hecho” (Hall, 1993), en la cual se considera natural que los actores privados tengan que asumir responsabilidades tradicionalmente del estado en la provisión de educación para refugiados.Como é que a educação para refugiados se transformou por a dinâmica más ampla da privatização da educação?

    Accounting information quality in emerging markets: Conservatism in financial reporting of Vietnamese firms in the context of international economic integration

    Get PDF
    We test conservatism in financial reporting of Vietnamese listed firms over the period of 2005-2014. We find that Vietnamese financial statements ensure conservatism’s specifications consisting of asymmetric gain and loss recognition timeliness and asymmetric persistence of earnings changes. We further find that the degree of conservatism has increased significantly over the post-crisis economic restructuring period. The findings provide empirical evidence to the improved quality of accounting information in Vietnam. © 2016, Econjournals. All rights reserved

    The aim of this paper is to test the impact of financial statement disclosure on conservatism in Vietnamese financial statements. I use inter-earning announcement period returns and fiscal year returns to serve as economic news reflected in earnings during the financial statement disclosure period and prior to the financial statement disclosure period. I test conservatism in financial reporting of Vietnamese listed non-financial firms over the period of 2005-2015 using the two returns measures in succession. I find that conservatism principle is only ensured within the audited financial statement disclosure period. The findings have implications for our understanding of the role of auditors as well as rules and regulations of financial statement disclosure in improving the quality of accounting information. © 2016, Econjournals.
