The Role Of Survival Analysis In Financial Distress Prediction, Adrian Gepp, Kuldeep Kumar
The Role Of Survival Analysis In Financial Distress Prediction, Adrian Gepp, Kuldeep Kumar
Kuldeep Kumar
Accurate business failure prediction models would be extremely valuable to many industry sectors, particularly in financial investment and lending. The potential value of such models has been recently emphasised by the extremely costly failure of high profile businesses in both Australia and overseas, such as HIH (Australia) and Enron (USA). Consequently, there has been a significant increase in interest in business failure prediction from both industry and academia. Statistical business failure prediction models attempt to predict the failure or success of a business. Discriminant and logit analyses have been the most popular approaches, but there are also a large number …
Characteristics Determining The Efficiency Of Foreign Banks In Australia, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Characteristics Determining The Efficiency Of Foreign Banks In Australia, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
The factors determining foreign bank efficiency are investigated using a three stage research method. It is found that host market incumbency reduces efficiency of foreign banks in Australia, resulting in over use of inputs. Factors underlying the limited global advantage hypothesis of Berger, et al. (2000) are identified, in that nationality specific factors represented by dummy variables are not significant once other relevant effects are controlled for. Parent profitability is not fomad to result in increased host nation efficiency, while parent credit rating effects are mixed. Some evidence is presented that banks from more financially sophisticated nations are more efficient. …
Financial Market Contagion: Evidence From The Asian Crisis Using A Multivariate Garch Approach, Ahmed M. Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Financial Market Contagion: Evidence From The Asian Crisis Using A Multivariate Garch Approach, Ahmed M. Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Ahmed Khalid
Recent trends of globalization and financial market internationalization have exposed the vulnerability of many emerging financial markets to external shocks and spillover effects from regional crisis. It is believed that similar spillover effects were the root cause of the 1997 financial crisis that faced many emerging economies in Asia. This study attempts to investigate the spillover effects of the 1997 Asian financial crisis using data from a sample of selected Asian countries. For empirical estimation, we use high frequency data (daily observations) on exchange rates from 1994 to 2002, construct a multivariate GARCH model and apply the Granger causality test …
The Global Impact Of The Russian Financial Crisis: Evidence Using Granger Causality And Impulse Reponses In A Var Model, Ahmed Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
The Global Impact Of The Russian Financial Crisis: Evidence Using Granger Causality And Impulse Reponses In A Var Model, Ahmed Khalid, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Ahmed Khalid
This study attempts to investigate the financial market contagion in a global perspective. We use a large sample of 26 countries representing different regions in the world and focus on the spillover effects of the 1998 Russian crisis. We use daily observations on three financial market indicators namely, the exchange rates, stock prices and interest rates. We construct a VAR to test the interlinkages among different market and different regions using the Granger causalfiy. Later, we perform impulse response analysis by introducing a shock in each of the Russian market and observe the impact and duration of this shock on …
Alternative Estimators Of Cointegrating Parameters In Models With Non-Stationary Data: An Application To Us Export Demand (Working Paper), James J. Forest, Paul Turner
Alternative Estimators Of Cointegrating Parameters In Models With Non-Stationary Data: An Application To Us Export Demand (Working Paper), James J. Forest, Paul Turner
James J Forest
This paper presents Monte Carlo simulations which compare the empirical performance of two alternative single equation estimators of the equilibrium parameters in a dynamic relationship. The estimators considered are Stock and Watson’s dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) estimator and Bewley’s transformation of the general autoregressive distributed lag model. The results indicate that the Bewley transformation produces a lower mean-square error as well as superior serial correlation properties even with lower truncation lags for the lagged variables included in the estimation equation. An application is then provided which examines the nature of the equilibrium relationship between aggregate US exports, world trade …
Dual Agency: Corporate Boards With Reciprocally Interlocking Relationships, Kevin F. Hallock
Dual Agency: Corporate Boards With Reciprocally Interlocking Relationships, Kevin F. Hallock
Kevin F Hallock
[Excerpt] This paper studies reciprocal interlocks of boards of directors of large firms where an employee of firm A sits on firm B's board and at the same time an employee of firm B sits on firm A's board. The study of Boards of Directors by those in economics and finance is not new. In fact, Dooley (1969) writes of interlocking directorates, but his definition is different in that he presents evidence of interlock where "at least one director ... sat on the board of at least one other of the largest companies". Books by Mizruchi (1982) and Pennings (1980) …
Intensified Regulatory Scrutiny And Bank Distress In New York City During The Great Depression,” With Patrick Van Horn, Gary Richardson
Intensified Regulatory Scrutiny And Bank Distress In New York City During The Great Depression,” With Patrick Van Horn, Gary Richardson
Gary Richardson
Bank distress peaked in New York City, at the center of the United States money market, in July and August 1931, when the banking crisis peaked in Germany and before Britain abandoned the gold standard. This article tests competing theories about the causes of New York’s banking crisis. The cause appears to have been intensified regulatory scrutiny, which was a delayed reaction to the failure of the Bank of United States, rather than the exposure of money center banks to events overseas.
Canadian Residential Mortgage Markets: Boring But Effective?, John Kiff
Canadian Residential Mortgage Markets: Boring But Effective?, John Kiff
John Kiff
Klyuev (2008) concluded that the Canadian market for housing finance is highly advanced and sophisticated, but financing options were somewhat limited, particularly at terms longer than five years. This paper argues that the paucity of longer-term loans is caused by a five-year maturity cap on government-guaranteed deposit insurance, and a prepayment penalty limit on residential mortgage loans in the Interest Act. That said, the availability and cost of residential loans for prime borrowers are comparable to those in the United States.
Sino-Turkish Relations In A Globalising Asia-Pacific, Rosita Dellios, Nadir Kemal Yilmaz
Sino-Turkish Relations In A Globalising Asia-Pacific, Rosita Dellios, Nadir Kemal Yilmaz
Rosita Dellios
Relations between China and Turkey are quiescent. In a globalizing Asia-Pacific, however, they are unlikely to remain so. High economic interdependence in the presence of the rise of Asian and Eurasian powers suggest that China and Turkey as multiregional states have a common interest in regional cooperation. It is within this context that bilateral relations are likely to develop. China’s rapid rise means that its impact will not be confined to Pacific Asia. Increasingly, with the quest for energy security, China is setting its diplomatic compass westward to Eurasia and the Middle East. With Russia - another multiregional state - …

Homeless Abroad, Homeless At Home: The Conundrum Of Globalisation, Sudhir H. Kale, Sangita De, Robin Pentecost
Sudhir H. Kale
Forces of globalization have brought about profound changes in the way consumers the world over view their identity. For many, consumption becomes one of the key avenues through which they can reterritorialize themselves. Consumption for the purpose of reterritorialization has interesting implications for marketers. Goods and services designed and promoted to restore consumers’ sense of identity will resonate well with today’s deterritorialized consumers. This premise has macromarketing and micromarketing implications.

The Timeliness Of Performance Information In Determining Executive Compensation, Kevin F. Hallock, Paul Oyer
The Timeliness Of Performance Information In Determining Executive Compensation, Kevin F. Hallock, Paul Oyer
Kevin F Hallock
We study whether boards of directors concentrate on performance near compensation decision times rather than providing consistent incentives for chief executive officers (CEO). throughout the fiscal year. We show empirically that managers can profit by moving sales revenue among fiscal quarters. Though this may suggest that boards use short-term trends when determining rewards, we find evidence consistent with boards tying pay to recent sales growth so as to use the best information about future performance. We also find that the timing of profits throughout the year does not affect CEO pay, which may suggest that smoothing firm income is important …
The Long-Run Determinants Of Australian Income Inequality, Noel Gaston, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
The Long-Run Determinants Of Australian Income Inequality, Noel Gaston, Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Recent interest has been stimulated by the growth of income inequality in most developed countries during the 1980s and 1990s. However, considerable uncertainty still exists as to which factors have been the most important causes of this development. This article uses a measure of income inequality derived from taxation statistics and a recently proposed method for testing long-run Granger non-causality to examine the key determinants of Australia's inequality for the years 1970–2001. In line with popular concern, we find that globalisation and technological progress – defined as the global flow of information – has increased income inequality. In contrast, improved …
Solid Waste Management Through The Application Of Advanced Technologies, Praveen Jha Dr
Solid Waste Management Through The Application Of Advanced Technologies, Praveen Jha Dr
Praveen Jha Dr
State-of-art long term plan for Solid Waste Management (SWM) including collection, transportation and disposal of Solid Waste (SW), as well as for monitoring of SWM, by generating integrated solution could be generated through the application of advanced technologies so that the policy interventions may prove to be highly successful and cost-effective. Currently, SWM plans are either non-existent or are riddled with serious problems and limitations. SWM plans are extremely expensive. Long term planning could be done for collection, transportation and disposal of SW in such a manner that Waste Collection Points, transportation routes, schedules regarding transportation, loading, unloading, stoppage etc, …
What Determines Differences In Foreign Bank Efficiency? Australian Evidence, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
What Determines Differences In Foreign Bank Efficiency? Australian Evidence, Jan-Egbert Sturm, Barry Williams
Barry Williams
This study examines the factors that determine difference in efficiency of foreign bank in the host market (Australia). The impact of home market, host market and parent bank characteristics are considered within the frameworks offered by comparative advantage and new trade theories. Parametric distance functions are used to estimate the efficiency of foreign banks in Australia, and the robustness of model specification is tested using both general to specific modelling and extreme bounds analysis. It is found that following clients reduces the efficiency of profit creation. Incumbent bank's market share acts as a barrier to entry, while parent bank profits …
Testing Twin Deficits Hypothesis Using Vars And Variance Decomposition, Ahmad Zubaidi Baharumshah, Evan Lau, Ahmed M. Khalid
Testing Twin Deficits Hypothesis Using Vars And Variance Decomposition, Ahmad Zubaidi Baharumshah, Evan Lau, Ahmed M. Khalid
Ahmed Khalid
This paper examines the twin deficits hypothesis in the ASEAN countries. The major findings of this paper are the following. (1) Long run relationships are detected between budget and current account deficits. (2) The Keynesian view fits well for Thailand since the causality runs from budget deficit to current account deficit. For Indonesia, the causality runs in an opposite direction while the empirical results indicate that a bidirectional pattern of causality exists for Malaysia and the Philippines. (3) We also found support for an indirect causal relationship that runs from budget deficit to higher interest rates, and higher interest rates …

The Value Of Managerial Beliefs In Turbulent Environments: Managerial Orientation And E-Business Advantage, T. Coltman, T. M. Devinney, D. F. Midgley
The Value Of Managerial Beliefs In Turbulent Environments: Managerial Orientation And E-Business Advantage, T. Coltman, T. M. Devinney, D. F. Midgley
Tim Coltman
There is a great divide between the degree to which academic research accounts for the role of managerial discretion in firm performance and the weight given by the popular press and financial community to the importance of the management of an organization. The purpose of this paper is to bridge this gap by quantifying the way managerial beliefs influence the quality of firm performance in a turbulent environment based on e-business. An e-business research setting is used that is associated with a situation of environmental turbulence to allow for sufficient variance in managerial beliefs to measure their effect on firm …

On The Political Substitutability Between Tariffs And Subsidies, Daniel Brou, Michele Ruta
On The Political Substitutability Between Tariffs And Subsidies, Daniel Brou, Michele Ruta
Daniel Brou
This paper provides a simple model that highlights the political substitutability between import tariffs and production subsidies.1 When taxes are distortionary, political pressures by domestic interest groups representing the import competing sector induce the government to set inefficiently high tariffs and subsidies. If the government commits the tariff to a lower level - for instance by signing a binding commitment in a trade agreement - interest groups demand (and in the political equilibrium obtain) a larger production subsidy. This political substitutability between tariffs and subsidies is shown to reduce social welfare.
The Relative Valuation Of Socially Responsible Firms: An Exploratory Study, Ali M. Fatemi, Iraj Fooladi, David Wheeler
The Relative Valuation Of Socially Responsible Firms: An Exploratory Study, Ali M. Fatemi, Iraj Fooladi, David Wheeler
Ali M Fatemi
In this paper we develop a model in support of the argument that the imposition of a “social responsibility” constraint could lead to increased profitability of the firm. To empirically test this, we compare the characteristics of firms making up the DS 400 index with that of a control group of firms not included in the DS 400. We find that socially responsible firms are, at a minimum, not dominated by their peer firms on the basis of returns. They are also not dominated by their peers on the basis of their betas, but dominate them on the basis of …

"Islamic Banking And Finance: Moral Beliefs And Business Practices At Work", Karen Hunt Ahmed
"Islamic Banking And Finance: Moral Beliefs And Business Practices At Work", Karen Hunt Ahmed
Karen Hunt Ahmed
The religion of Islam has existed for 1400 years but Islamic economic theory and its financial institutions emerged as an industry only in the 1970s. Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) are designed to help Muslims conduct business internationally while simultaneously upholding traditional Islamic values related to trade finance and currency movement. The basis for their existence is the Islamic moral prohibition on charging interest—interest is a central component of capitalist banking—yet IFIs conduct billions of dollars of business annually in the world economy and the de facto Islamic banking transaction is—in most cases—virtually identical to a capitalist banking transaction. Business practices …

Eliminate Black Money, Vijaya Krushna Varma Mr
VIJAYA KRUSHNA VARMA Mr
Abstract: - We all know that black money is being generated by tax evasion through unreported/shadow/hidden accounts and also by corruption and fake currency. Tax evasion is being caused by the indirect result of high tax component on commodities and services, multiple taxes, complex tax structures, cumbersome accounting and auditing. In the present economic system, most of the money in circulation is in physical form (bills/notes). This physical money, in huge amounts, is being transferred from one hand to the other eluding all tax nets in transactions of commodities or goods and transforming into black money. The huge accumulation of …
