School of Business and Management Department of Economics 198 Kin "Taxes"? How Filipina Domestic Workers in Hong Kong Manage Family Expectations Supervisor: VISARIA Sujata / ECON Student: TANG Tsz Yeung Alvis / ECOF Course: UROP1100, Summer Filipino domestic workers earn multiples of the salaries in the Philippines, yet more than half of Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong report no improvement financially after they migrate to Hong Kong. The reasons for the limited developmental impact of Filipina domestic workers are little studied holistically. In Summer 2021, The UROP team conducted focus group discussions and quantitative surveys among Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong as exploratory work for a future study. In this report, I describe the research motivation, introduce the research questions in mind, outline my role as a research assistant in the project, and reflect on my growth in the research process. Conduct Economic Research for Teaching Purpose Supervisor: YU Yan / ECON Student: HE Kai / SBM Course: UROP1000, Summer Like many other public utilities, the electricity market is a natural monopoly due to its high infrastructural costs. To guarantee affordable electricity prices for consumers, governments have attempted various types of regulation. In Hong Kong, electricity is provided by two vertically integrated monopolies under rate-of-return regulation. In Singapore, electricity was originally provided by a vertically integrated monopoly, like Hong Kong. However, in 1995, the Singapore government began to introduce competition in the electricity sector. Since then, the government has continued liberalization efforts, in hopes of forming a more efficient and competitive electricity market. This case study will provide a brief investigation into the regulatory approaches of Hong Kong and Singapore in order to compare their efficacy. Conduct Economic Research for Teaching Purpose Supervisor: YU Yan / ECON Student: JAIN Saumya / ECON KAUSHAL Kaustubh / ECON ZHOU Kexin / MAEC Course: UROP1000, Summer UROP1000, Summer UROP1000, Summer The objective of this report is to give an overview of a commodity that we all use in our daily lives - electricity. Interestingly, it is a good that is homogeneous in nature and is very hard and expensive to store, hence, its demand must equal the supply. This report explores theoretical concepts such as price determination through the intersection of demand and supply curves in real life, and how the market structure affects the efficiency of the market. The primary focus of this report will be on the wholesale electricity market in Germany, United Kingdom and United States.
