Business Profitability and Long Term Industrial Change in Twentieth-Century Australia

该项目将使澳大利亚成为纵向研究商业盈利能力的先驱，通过收集新数据及其用于分析盈利能力与资本形成和经济结构变化的关系。它将扩展我们对股权投资长期回报的认识，这是大多数澳大利亚人现在常见的储蓄和养老基金的类别，并有助于我们了解澳大利亚的比较商业表现，鉴于目前有关澳大利亚领先公司所谓有限的全球竞争力和公司治理缺陷的辩论。

This project will establish Australia as a pioneer in longitudinal research into business profitability in terms of assembling new data and its use to analyse the relationship of profitability with capital formation and structural change in the economy. It will extend our knowledge of long-term returns to equity investment, a category of savings and pension funding now common to most Australians, and contribute to our understanding of Australia's comparative business performance in light of current debates regarding the alleged limited global competitiveness and corporate governance shortcomings of leading Australian corporations.
