“…Despite its size and lack of natural resources, within 30 years of its independence in 1965, it has seen its GDP per capita grow from US$600 to pass US$24,000 by 2002, placing it among the top 20 wealthiest nations in the world (Peebles and Wilson, 2002;United Nations Development Programme, 2003). As shown in Table 1 below, until the Asian Economic Crisis of 1997, the economic success experienced by Singapore and other East Asian 'Tiger' economies as compared to other economies up until 1997 was a phenomenon not predicted by many economists.…”

This paper reports the findings of an exploratory empirical study that examines the differences between male and female entrepreneurs in Singapore with respect to motivation and personality traits to determine the extent of the gender 'gap'. Using a conceptual framework combining the entrepreneurial personality characteristics identified by McClelland (1976) and Brockhaus (1982), the study's main hypothesis was that there were significant gender differences in terms of motivation and personality characteristics between Singaporean entrepreneurs. A survey among 85 entrepreneurs was conducted and the results suggest that there are no significant gender differences in terms of motivation but that there are significant differences in personality traits. The paper concludes by recommending that further research be conducted on other aspects of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor's conceptual model that could better explain the differences between male and female entrepreneurs.

“…During this period, there was still considerable out-migration from Ireland, and only in the most recent period (since the mid-1990s) has there been very substantial immigration.

Table 2 presents annual average growth rates of GDP for both countries and shows that Singapore has experienced nearly double the growth rates of Ireland in terms of GDP during the period .…”

This study analyze that influences of political stability on balance of payment and relative importance of political stability and economic freedom for healthy of balance of payment and exchange rate stability. Political stability has an important role in determination of healthy of balance of payment than economic freedom. This study focus on selected 10 Asian countries of various income levels and test the factor of political stability and economic freedom in stability of balance of payment by using a simple econometric model with various techniques. Our empirical finding shows that political stability is more important than economic freedom in stabilizing balance of payment. Stable political regime with visionary leadership leads the nations to higher level of favorable balance of payment. Political stability is playing major role than theoretical explanation to achieve surplus of balance of payment hence exchange rare stability. Surplus of trade balance, foreign direct investment and higher international reserves hence appreciation of Yuan in china mostly depends on its long term political stability under one party political system rather than pure theoretical determination of balance of payment. Attaining of political stability before economic freedom is policy implication of this study to achieve international financial stability.
