Stability And Resilience Of Equity Markets Amidst The 2008 Global Financial Crisis: Islamic Versus Conventional Markets, M. Shabri Abd. Majid
Stability And Resilience Of Equity Markets Amidst The 2008 Global Financial Crisis: Islamic Versus Conventional Markets, M. Shabri Abd. Majid
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The objective of this study is to empirically explore the impacts of the 2008 global financial crisis on both Islamic and conventional equity markets of Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, the UK, and the US. Daily closing indices, spanning from July 2007 to July 2011, were utilized and analyzed using cointegration technique and impulse response functions. The study found that the conventional equity markets performed marginally poorer than their Islamic counterparts during the 2008 global financial crisis. This finding implied that the Islamic equity markets were more stable and resilient than the conventional equity markets amidst the crisis period.

Development Of A Composite Lean Index To Measure Lean Implementation In Philippine Manufacturing Companies, Willy F. Zalatar, Anna Bella D. Siriban-Manalang
DLSU Business & Economics Review
Lean manufacturing has been gaining worldwide popularity as a means of reducing waste, improving quality, and increasing the competitiveness of manufacturing firms. This paper aims to develop a composite lean index (CLI) which can be used to measure the degree of lean adoption in Philippine manufacturing companies. The lean index employs actual quantitative data, rather than subjective assessment, which is more prevalent in the literature. Fifteen performance indicators divided into process and equipment, manufacturing planning and control, human resources, and supplier and customer relationships are proposed and then validated using empirical data. Results showed that a CLI, which yields a …

The Effect Of Global Financial Crisis On Asean Growth: Evidence From Stock Market Analysis, Siti Muliana Samsi, Zarinah Yusof, Kee-Cheok Cheong
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This study empirically examines the effects of the global financial crisis on economic growth through a model that considers various sectoral indices, with particular reference to the stock market, bank, and real estate. Using analysis of cointegration, parsimonious error correction model (PECM), impulse response function (IRF) and variance decomposition analysis (VDC), the study found that the effect of the global financial crisis on growth differs among ASEAN-5 countries. The PECM analysis reveals that the crisis has the real effect on the stock market and bank equations. Three out of five ASEAN countries show that the global financial crisis has a …
On The Existence Of Calendar Anomalies And Persistence In The Daily Returns Of The Psei, Kristine Joy E. Carpio
On The Existence Of Calendar Anomalies And Persistence In The Daily Returns Of The Psei, Kristine Joy E. Carpio
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The future of the stock market may never be predicted consistently, nor its past behavior understood entirely, but any knowledge gained from observing it could help decide on a sound investment strategy. In this study, I looked at the daily returns of the Philippine Stock Exchange index (PSEi) from March 1, 1990, to January 31, 2017, and see how the data relates to the mathematically verifiable aspects of the noise theory and efficient market theory (EMT). In relation to the noise theory, I looked at the occurrences of anomalies. For the EMT, I made use of discrete-time Markov chains to …
Dynamics Of Social Capital Among Fair Trade And Non-Fair Trade Coffee Farmers, Reynaldo A. Bautista Jr.
Dynamics Of Social Capital Among Fair Trade And Non-Fair Trade Coffee Farmers, Reynaldo A. Bautista Jr.
DLSU Business & Economics Review
Fair trade (FT), a movement that aims to set fair prices for products, alleviate poverty, and assist producers marginalized by the traditional economic model, lends itself to investigation through social capital (SC) lens as SC sits within the network theory area of management literature. The primary contribution of this paper is the analysis of whether FT impacts the dynamics of the different SC dimensions. This study used both quantitative and qualitative techniques. I surveyed 97 farmers from Atok (fair trade supplier) and 96 farmers from Tublay (non-fair trade supplier). Also, I conducted focus group discussions of 8 to 10 members …

Impact Of Ownership Structure On Capital Structure- Empirical Evidence From Listed Firms In Vietnam, Tran Thi Xuan Anh, Le Quoc Tuan, Bui Ngoc Phuong
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This research examines whether and to what degree does ownership structure affect the capital structure, using a universal sample of Vietnamese listed firms from 2009 to 2015. We consider the ownership structure in two dimensions: ownership concentration and ownership types. Our paper is among the few to deploy Herfindahl index of all major shareholders, institutional shareholders, and even foreign shareholders as proxies for ownership concentration. The results depict a positive and significant impact of ownership concentration on the overall capital structure of the companies. Further tests indicate that the effect of ownership structure is stronger for short-term debt and bank …

Physician Quality And Payment Schemes: A Theoretical And Empirical Analysis, Renz Adrian T. Calub
Physician Quality And Payment Schemes: A Theoretical And Empirical Analysis, Renz Adrian T. Calub
DLSU Business & Economics Review
Physicians are expected to provide the best healthcare to their patients; however, it cannot be discounted that their practice is driven primarily by incentives. In this paper, a physician utility maximization model that links physician quality of service to compensation schemes was constructed. Results showed that relative to fixed payment, fee-for-service and mixed payment yield higher quality. Multinomial treatment effects regression of vignette scores on payment schemes also support this hypothesis, indicating that physicians are still below the best level of quality and that incentives to improve are still present.

Regime-Switching Business Cycle Synchronization In The Asean, Yuthana Sethapramote, Athakrit Thepmongkol
Regime-Switching Business Cycle Synchronization In The Asean, Yuthana Sethapramote, Athakrit Thepmongkol
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper investigates patterns of business cycle synchronization and analyzes the underlying common factors in six ASEAN countries, that is, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Two important findings result. First, according to resulting regime probabilities calculated from the Markov-switching model, Singapore is not synchronized with other ASEAN members, while Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines are highly correlated. Second, according to the principal component analysis, we find that the world’s import value growth, the output growth of China, and the capital flow of Singapore are most likely to account for 88% of variation in probabilities of the ASEAN …

Compliance Theory: A Case Study Approach In Understanding Organizational Commitment, Nelson J. Celis
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The Electronic Commerce (e-Commerce) Act of 2000 or Republic Act (RA) No. 8792 mandates all government agencies to transact business and perform government functions using electronic documents within two years from the date of its effectivity in June 2000. Unfortunately, only a handful of government agencies were ready to implement the said law in the year 2002 despite the availability of applicable information technology (IT) resources and appropriated budget. After 17 years, there is considerable improvement in the compliance with the said law, though there are still non-compliances of government offices that could not manage to be at par with …

Is A Regional Credit Rating Agency For The Asean Feasible?, Tereso S. Tullao Jr, Christopher James R. Cabuay,, Daniel S. Hofileña
DLSU Business & Economics Review
In the spirit of deepening the bond markets of the ASEAN+3 region, as well as addressing the inadequacies put forth by the underrating of bonds by global credit rating agencies (GCRAs) and their lack of recognition of domestic CRAs’ (DCRAs) ratings, we look into the feasibility of a regional CRA (RCRA). Establishing an RCRA is faced with hurdles related to institutional and reputational constraints, mechanisms of information exchange, compatibility of financial reports, operational limitations, governance structure, and regulatory frameworks. In this light, we provide a brief discussion on potential alternatives such as the credit ratings initiative of the National University …

Ownership Structure And Stock Return Asymmetries In Asean-5 Stock Markets: A Firm-Level Analysis, Sorasart Sukcharoensin, Pariyada Sukcharoensin
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper explores the relationship between ownership structure and the skewness in the stock return distribution among ASEAN-5 equity markets, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand during 2007–2015. This study adds to the existing literatures that ownership structure can explain skewness of the stock returns. The empirical results reveal that stock returns in ASEAN-5 markets present asymmetric distribution. Further, by employing firm-level data, the results show that ownership structure, cumulative daily stock returns, firm size, and market-to-book ratio significantly affect future skewness of the stock returns.
Inflation And Public Debt Dynamics In Asean, Yuthana Sethapramote, Athakrit Thepmongkol
Inflation And Public Debt Dynamics In Asean, Yuthana Sethapramote, Athakrit Thepmongkol
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper studies how inflation affects the debt dynamics focusing on six ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. Using projection data, we perform simulations of debt dynamics under various inflation policies. It results that Vietnam has the highest ability of inflating debt, while the Philippines is lastly ranked. Moreover, the optimal inflation rate for each member country and also the common policy rate for ASEAN integration are calculated under additional debt management motive. We found that if the ASEAN happened to use the common inflation policy rate, Malaysia and the Philippines would not be much affected …

Determinants Of Earnings Management Choice Among Publicly Listed Industrial Firms In The Philippines, Cynthia P. Cudia, Aeson Luiz C. Dela Cruz
DLSU Business & Economics Review
Earnings management involves the use of acceptable accounting rules and procedures as well as circumventing business activities to achieve desired ends. In the literature, earnings management through discretionary accruals has always been associated with an opportunistic motive to mislead various stakeholders about a business’ financial performance to the advantage of owners and managers. However, the literature presented two possible motives behind earnings management, namely: an opportunistic, a self-serving perspective which mirrors the agency problem; and an efficient motive which utilizes earnings management as a signalling mechanism to send signals about the firm to its stakeholders. In this paper, we investigate …

Testing The Assumptions Of Slippery Slope Framework On Tax Compliance: Evidence From Nigerian Smes, Augustine Ayuba, Natrah Saad, Zaimah Zainol Ariffin
DLSU Business & Economics Review
This paper integrates the assumptions of the Slippery Slope Framework in explaining the tax compliance of small and medium enterprises. This study tests these assumptions in relation to SMEs taxpayers to further reestablish the applicability of the framework with different kinds of taxpayers. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS – SEM) further supported the framework in analyzing the data of this study. The findings reveal that perceived corruption along with perceived service orientation strongly interact each other in expounding the paradox surrounding tax compliance.

Based on the Motivations of Humanistic “Sustain Ability” framework where the HRM practices were rooted, we used the descriptive, correlational, and causal research designs to analyze the 137 samples responses of various companies who participated in the survey. Our results showed that Philippine companies were moderately implementing humanistic sustainability HRM practices. It also indicated that those that were registered as …
Gender Gap In Entrepreneurship: Evidence From Argentina, Sebastian Auguste, Alejandro Bricker
Gender Gap In Entrepreneurship: Evidence From Argentina, Sebastian Auguste, Alejandro Bricker
DLSU Business & Economics Review
We investigate which factors affect the gender gap in entrepreneurship using evidence from CBMS Argentina and the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition for nonlinear models. The dataset allows us to construct a series of personality variables (risk aversion, social aversion, outgoing attitude, flexibility desire, and effort aversion) which are usually missing in standard household surveys. In addition, we can measure current entrepreneurial activity as well as failure from the past. We find that there is no evidence of discrimination in the event of starting up, since the small gap between women and men can be fully explained once the new personality variables are …

International migration has been a significant avenue for many Filipinos to make use of interspatial differences in purchasing power, to send home remittances, and to maximize household income. However, migration has had a stigma of being disruptive to children’s educational outcomes, and remittances have been noted to cause dependence among working age members. This study estimates the impact of remittances on the human resource development, employment, and entrepreneurial outcomes and choices of the Philippine youth, individuals aged fifteen to thirty, using CBMS data census of selected De La Salle school communities. I employ an instrumental variable multinomial logistic regression to …
International Trade And Unemployment: Evidence From Selected Asean+3 Countries, Atif Awad, Ishak Yussof
International Trade And Unemployment: Evidence From Selected Asean+3 Countries, Atif Awad, Ishak Yussof
DLSU Business & Economics Review
The present study seeks to examine empirically whether exposure to international trade creates or destroys jobs for a sample of eight ASEAN+3 countries (APT). The findings of the PMG technique shows that trade liberalization policies have a negative influence on unemployment rate in the long run. Since medium and unskilled workers are the majority of the workforce, a reduction in trade barriers is likely to expand the trading sector. For the APT countries to compete globally, the trading sector is likely to shift to a more efficient production mode by using intensive capital and high skilled labor, leaving unskilled workers …
