Institutionalization Of Software Product Line: An Empirical Investigation Of Key Organizational Factors, Faheem Ahmed, Luiz Capretz, Shahbaz Sheikh
Institutionalization Of Software Product Line: An Empirical Investigation Of Key Organizational Factors, Faheem Ahmed, Luiz Capretz, Shahbaz Sheikh
Luiz Fernando Capretz
A good fit between the person and the organization is essential in a better organizational performance. This is even more crucial in case of institutionalization of a software product line practice within an organization. Employees’ participation, organizational behavior and management contemplation play a vital role in successfully institutionalizing software product lines in a company. Organizational dimension has been weighted as one of the critical dimensions in software product line theory and practice. A comprehensive empirical investigation to study the impact of some organizational factors on the performance of software product line practice is presented in this work. This is the …

Intraday Pattern And The Speed Of Adjustment In The Jakarta Stock Exchange, Zaafri Husodo, Thomas Henker
Intraday Pattern And The Speed Of Adjustment In The Jakarta Stock Exchange, Zaafri Husodo, Thomas Henker
Thomas Henker
High frequency study at individual level in the Jakarta Stock Exchange is conducted in this research to reveal the dynamics at intraday level. Several apparent patterns emerge from analyzing the relation among the speed of adjustment coefficients, noise, and noise variance. It is found that the noise and noise variance are at a low level when the speed of adjustment coefficients achieves a fair level. The speed of adjustment coefficients, both at market and individual level show a periodic adjustment pattern at a daily interval. This justifies the importance of studying the dynamics of the price discovery as estimated in …

Distress During The Great Depression: The Illiquidity-Insolvency Debate Revisited, Gary Richardson
Distress During The Great Depression: The Illiquidity-Insolvency Debate Revisited, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
During the contraction from 1929 to 1933, the Federal Reserve System tracked changes in the status of all banks operating in the United States and determined the cause of each bank suspension. This essay analyzes chronological patterns in aggregate series constructed from that data. The analysis demonstrates both illiquidity and insolvency were substantial sources of bank distress. Periods of heightened distress were correlated with periods of increased illiquidity. Contagion via correspondent networks and bank runs propagated the initial banking panics. As the depression deepened and asset values declined, insolvency loomed as the principal threat to depository institutions.
Deposit Insurance And Moral Hazard: Capital, Risk, Malfeasance, And Mismanagement. A Comment On ‘Deposit Insurance And Moral Hazard: Evidence From Texas Banking During The 1920s, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
A Journal of Economic History article by Linda Hooks and Kenneth Robinson, “Deposit Insurance and Moral Hazard: Evidence from Texas Banking During the 1920s,” contains a contradiction (Hooks and Robinson 2002). Pondering the contradiction in the paper reveals insights that the authors may have overlooked. Hooks and Robinson’s article examines the experience of the banking industry in Texas during the 1920s. Texas operated a deposit-insurance system from January 1, 1910 until February 11, 1927. Deposit insurance was mandatory for all state banks, which were given the choice of two plans in which to participate. The preponderance participated in the depositors …
Check Is In The Mail: Correspondent Clearing And The Banking Panics Of The Great Depression, Gary Richardson
Check Is In The Mail: Correspondent Clearing And The Banking Panics Of The Great Depression, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
Weaknesses within the check-clearing system played a hitherto unrecognized role in the banking crises of the Great Depression. Correspondent check-clearing networks were vulnerable to counter-party cascades. Accounting conventions that overstated reserves available to corresponding institutions may have exacerbated the situation. The initial banking panic began when a correspondent network centered in Nashville collapsed, forcing over 100 institutions to suspend operations. As the contraction continued, additional correspondent systems imploded. The vulnerability of correspondent networks is one reason that banks that cleared via correspondents failed at higher rates than other institutions during the Great Depression.
Factors Determining Net Interest Margins In Australia: Domestic And Foreign Banks, Barry Williams
Factors Determining Net Interest Margins In Australia: Domestic And Foreign Banks, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This study tests the application of the Ho and Saunders (1981) model of bank net interest margins (NIMs), and its subsequent developments, using Australian data. The core elements of this model apply in Australia. Bank market power is found to increase NIMs, consistent with McShane and Sharpe (1985), with evidence of bank buying market share and mispricing for risk. Operating costs also have an important role in determining NIMs, together with implied payments and management quality. Bank NIMs are found to have fallen over the study period.

This article was aimed at investigating the effects of corporate strategy on capital structure, assets productivity, financial performance, and firm’s value. The research was an explanatory study. Data were collected by observation and literature study. Go public companies registered at Jakarta Stock Exchange were taken as samples through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed by using structural equation modeling (SEM) with the help of software SPSS and AMOS. The result showed that : 1) Capital Structure had negative effects on assets productivity both in main board companies and development board companies. In other words, the increase of capital structure would adversely …

Termination Risk And Managerial Risk Taking, Atreya Chakraborty, Shahbaz A. Sheikh, Narayanana Subramanian
Termination Risk And Managerial Risk Taking, Atreya Chakraborty, Shahbaz A. Sheikh, Narayanana Subramanian
Atreya Chakraborty
We test the hypothesis that managers who face a high termination risk make less risky investments than the managers who face a low termination risk. A 10% increase in our measure of termination risk is associated with a 5%–23% decline in stock returns volatility for the median firm in our sample. We also find that for CEOs who are more likely to be fired in the event of investment failure, the inhibiting effect of termination risk appears to offset the positive effect of convexity of managerial compensation on managerial risk taking. These results are robust to alternative definitions of forced …
Repricing And Executive Turnover, Narayanan Subramanian, Atreya Chakraborty, Shahbaz Sheikh
Repricing And Executive Turnover, Narayanan Subramanian, Atreya Chakraborty, Shahbaz Sheikh
Atreya Chakraborty
We examine whether the threat of executive turnover faced by a firm affects its decision to reprice stock options held by its executives. We estimate a model of voluntary turnover among top executives and show that the predicted turnover from this model is positively related to the probability of repricing. The relationship is robust to the inclusion of several known determinants of repricing. Our results are consistent with a model in which a tight labor market makes executives hard to replace, forcing firms to reprice stock options when they go underwater.

Corporate Spin-Offs, Their Price Reactions And Determinants In Malaysia, Chung-Sin Yoon, Mohamed Ariff
Mohamed Ariff
Spin-off as a form of financial restructuring has been examined in the US and the UK but not in other markets. This is a first study outside those markets. The evidence from a sample of 85 spin-off cases in Malaysia reveals that both the parent and the spin-off company stocks gain significant positive abnormal returns: parent firms earn smaller value while the spin-off firm gains substantially, much greater than is documented in other markets. Examining the factors correlated with the size of the spin-off effect, we find the abnormal returns are positively correlated with market capitalization and negatively correlated with …

Beyond The Dichotomous Worlds Hypothesis: Towards A Plurality Of Corporate Governance Logics, Jordan Otten
Beyond The Dichotomous Worlds Hypothesis: Towards A Plurality Of Corporate Governance Logics, Jordan Otten
Jordan Otten
The dichotomous worlds hypothesis holds that corporate governance systems worldwide are either based on the Anglo-American shareholder model or the Eurasian stakeholder model. We suggest a more fine-grained classification, based on five corporate governance logics –socially constructed, historical patterns of material practices, assumptions, values, beliefs, and rules by which all parties involved in economic productive activities structure their material interdependencies and provide meaning to the social reality of corporate life. These logics are discovered through a content analysis of the corporate governance reform codes of 38 countries.
Theories On Executive Pay: A Literature Overview And Critical Assessment, Jordan Otten
Theories On Executive Pay: A Literature Overview And Critical Assessment, Jordan Otten
Jordan Otten
Executive pay is a major issue in the corporate governance debate. As well in practice as in theory debate still exists how executive pay levels and structures can be explained. This paper provides an overview of 16 theories that have been used in the literature to explain the phenomenon. The theories can be classified into three types of approaches; 1) the value approach; 2) the agency approach; and 3) the symbolic approach. A critical assessment of the theories shows that the dominant use in the literature of the perfect contracting approach of agency theory neglects: 1) the socially determined symbolic …
Do Bulls And Bears Listen To Whispers?, Janis K. Zaima, M. A. Harjoto
Do Bulls And Bears Listen To Whispers?, Janis K. Zaima, M. A. Harjoto
Janis K. Zaima
A post-earnings announcement drift associated with the market reaction to analyst forecasts errors remains a puzzle. This study suggests that whispers help to explain part of the puzzle. The study examines the market reaction to whispers and analysts in bull and bear markets, and finds that investors listen to whispers in the bull market and whispers help explain the post-announcement drift. In a bear market, reaction to whispers is significantly positive prior to announcement despite a down market, indicating optimism by investors who follow whispers. However, in the bear market, both whispers and analysts contribute to the post-announcement drift.

To gain insight into the extent of malpractice in the State of California prior to the Passage of Sarbanes-Oxley, we examined the nature and magnitude of complains filed with the California Board of Accountancy (CBA) against both licensed and unlicensed accountants during the fiscal years 2000, 2001, and 2002. The CBA currently licenses and regulates over 73,000 licenses, with 1,431 complaints filed during the period reviewed. Disciplinary actions were taken against 283 different licensees for the three fiscal years reviewed. SEC issues were involved in 19 cases, theft or embezzlement 46 cases, public accounting malpractice 146 cases, improper retention of …

Calling The End Of The Bubble: Are There Trends In Order Imbalances, Julia Henker, Thomas Henker
Calling The End Of The Bubble: Are There Trends In Order Imbalances, Julia Henker, Thomas Henker
Julia Henker
Extract:
Can traders effectively conceal their information processing from the rest of the market, or is it there for the alert investor to observe? Could we see, for example, the reduction in demand that leads to the crash of a stock price bubble, or can investors keep their sentiment private?
We might expect that if we look carefully at buy and sell orders over several days, we could forecast the change from an upward to a downward trend in asset prices, but we would be wrong.
In this article, we investigate whether stock price bubble crashes are foreshadowed in order …
