| Summary/Abstract |
We review the economic benefits and external costs of unconventional gas production (UCG) in the United States from a policy perspective. Based on an overview of state regulation in Pennsylvania, a state that has witnessed very rapid growth of gas production over the past 5 years, and global experiences we present 10 key principles that are proposed to reduce the risks and to increase the net rewards of UCG. Application of these principles has the potential to reduce the risks of UCG, especially at a local level, while maximizing the benefits of gas developments.

| Summary/Abstract |
The author discusses the legislative and regulatory framework enacted to maintain nuclear, radiological, and industrial safety in an operation to dispose of Akula class nuclear-powered submarines. She examines the physics and chemistry of toxic and radioactive wastes and draws the conclusion that engineering and environmental measures of the decommissioning and disposal operation must be carried out to reduce environmental pollution and exposure of the personnel and general public to the minimum possible doses of radiation.

| Summary/Abstract |
Using a sample of 102 UK energy firms over the period 1981-2009, this paper empirically examines the effects of uncertainty on firms' leverage decisions. The results indicate that both firms-specific and macroeconomic uncertainty have negative, sizeable, and statistically significant impacts on the UK energy sector firms' target leverage. The results also indicate that the profitability of energy firms plays an important role in uncertainty-leverage relationship by changing the (total) effect of uncertainty on leverage. While more profitable firms appear to reduce their leverage by a relatively large amount in response to increased macroeconomic uncertainty, they are less likely to be affected by firm-specific uncertainty. These results suggest that stability in macroeconomic conditions and business activity is important to the stability of the capital structure of firms in the energy sector which would in turn be conducive to stability in their investments and production.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study explored how the risks encountered by Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs) affected their decision-making on outward foreign direct investment (OFDI), using data regarding the relationship between the host countries and China. The following conclusions were drawn. Larger SOEs with fixed capital exhibited a higher probability of conducting OFDI and did so on a larger scale. Various risks in host countries significantly hindered the OFDI of Chinese SOEs. In pursuit of natural resources, Chinese SOEs chose to take risks. The amount of OFDI by SOEs was positively related to the political, economic, and geographical relations between China and the corresponding host country.

| Summary/Abstract |
From the characteristics of the Chinese market and the current status of Vietnam’s exports to this market, this article tries to point out the risks that Vietnamese exporters have to identify in order to find ways to overcome those risks, thereby to help increase exports from Vietnam to the Chinese market which is a very important market of Vietnam. In this article, the author does not focus on the opportunities brought about by the Chinese market or the current status of Vietnamese exports of goods to this market. The aim of the article is mainly to identify the risks that come from the Chinese customers or Chinese trade policy, etc. The intention of the author is to evaluate the risks and current policy practices in order to bring about recommendations for policymakers to deal with the risk involved in current Vietnam–China trade. To achieve the above objectives, the article uses analytical, statistical and comparative methods. These are common methods in economic and business analysis. Research data are collected from primary and secondary sources, that is, the data collected from domestic and international authors, from the general department of statistics, general department of customs and Ministry of Industry and Trade of Vietnam. The article argues that the Chinese market is very important for exports from Vietnam and contains many risks; and that it is imperative to identify these risks. It also considers what the government and enterprises of Vietnam have to do to overcome these risks.
