An Analysis Of Utah Media: Women & Politics, Rebecca B. West, Lindsey Phillips, Trish Hatch, April Townsend, Susan R. Madsen

Marketing and Strategy Faculty Publications

As women’s political presence and influence have slowly continued to increase, the way they have been represented in the media has also evolved. Research spanning the past several decades indicates that women politicians continue to be disadvantaged in the way they are covered by the media. From newspapers to primetime television, the way female political candidates are represented is a crucial topic; recent research indicates that women are dissuaded from even entering the political realm due to patterns of gendered media reporting and that “media both produces and reproduces sexism.” Research evaluating media representation of female political candidates spans both …

Assessing Equity Based Mutual Funds And Stock Market Indices In India Using The Engle-Granger Cointegration Technique, Neha Gupta, Pooja Mathur, Satyendra P. Singh

DLSU Business & Economics Review

Mutual funds are one of the most suitable investment alternatives for common investors. Mutual funds are affordable, professionally managed, transparent, and at the same time, offer a wide gamut of schemes to invest in. They can generate superior returns and, at the same time, reduce risk through the diversification of the portfolio. Out of various schemes offered by mutual funds, equity funds are quite popular among investors because of their ability to generate higher returns. They not only generate higher returns but also sometimes beat the market. As the portfolio of equity-based mutual funds consists of equity shares, the movement …

Identifying And Selecting Effective Graphic Health Warnings To Prevent Perceptual Wearout On Tobacco Packaging And In Advertising, Scot Burton, J. Craig Andrews, Richard G. Netemeyer

Marketing Faculty Research and Publications

Graphic visual health warnings (GHWs) on cigarette packaging are used in more than 120 countries globally. Because there are concerns about the effectiveness of using the same visual warnings over many years due to wearout, a primary issue is how to identify the most effective visual stimuli. Adolescent smokers and nonsmokers provided more than 2000 ratings of different visual warnings. Cluster analysis and follow-up analyses are used to identify a high-performing visual stimuli group from the larger group of GHWs. Subsequent analyses also show that compared to other pictorial stimuli, the high-performing group is perceived as effective in preventing adolescent …

The team quickly created and launched social media campaigns and …

Impulse Buying And Financial Literacy Among Public Elementary And High School Teachers In The Philippines, Melvin A. Jabar, Ma. Luisa C. Delayco

DLSU Business & Economics Review

This paper primarily interrogates the assumption that financial literacy essentially decreases impulse buying. However, this may not necessarily be the case, given that individuals navigate in different social contexts. Teachers in the Philippines are stereotypically perceived as heavy financial borrowers due to their limited income. Given their quick access to private financial loan companies, it is worthy to investigate if teachers also engage in impulse buying. The first goal of this paper is to describe the financial literacy of public-school teachers. Second, it examines the relationship between financial literacy and impulse buying. In this paper, financial literacy is operationalized in …

Bitcoin, Intrinsic Value, And Herd Effect, Angel Enrique Chico-Frias

The research aims to find similar behaviors between herds in the animal world and Bitcoin prices. Besides, the study analyzes the cost of production to determine if it is the intrinsic value of this cryptocurrency. Three scenarios in Bitcoin prices in the Momentum indicator were studied. The ANOVA and Tuckey test were helpful to find if the Momentum averages are related. The Momentum Index data worked with …

Delta-Normal Value At Risk Using Exponential Duration With Convexity For Measuring Government Bond Risk, Di Asih I Maruddani, Abdurakhman Abdurakhman

DLSU Business & Economics Review

A bond is simply a debt that promises to repay the money with interest in the future. An issuer must pay the coupon regularly and repay the face value at the maturity date. Therefore, a bond is called fixed-income security. However, as with any investment, there is always some risk involved. Two significant bond risk investments are interest rate risk and credit risk. In this paper, we want to measure interest risk, which affects bond price movements. Exponential duration with convexity (EDC) will be applied to predict an accurate estimation of bond price caused by the interest rate change. Delta-normal …

The Effect Of Risk Management Committee On Audit Fees: Malaysian Evidence, Masturah Malik, Rohami Shafie

DLSU Business & Economics Review

The global financial crises that have occurred in the past have caused a growing number of firms to establish a risk management committee (RMC) at their board level. By adopting 208 nonfinancial listed firms in Bursa Malaysia for the year end 2014, our study explores whether the establishment of an RMC and its attributes (having independent members, experts and female members) affect the audit fees charged towards the firms. Apart from the demand perspective of an audit, the study reports that independent members of the RMC are associated with higher audit fees. The result is derived from the basis that …

Investigating The Effect Of Price Of Rubber Fluctuations On Stock Prices And Exchange Rates In Malaysia, Seuk Wai Phoong, Seuk Yen Phoong

DLSU Business & Economics Review

This paper examines the relationship between the stock price and nominal exchange rate in Malaysia to ascertain the significance of using rubber price as a correction mechanism. The Johansen cointegration test was employed to investigate the effects of linear combination and the relationships among the components in a multiple time series. A two-regime, intercept- adjusted Markov switching vector error correction model was also used to examine the parameters concerned. Rubber price is used as a correction mechanism. Because rubber is one of Malaysia’s main exports, using rubber price as a correction mechanism may affect the country’s economy. The results of …

Investigating The Role Of Financial Sanctions In Utility Function And Their Impact On Household Behavior, Hamid Reza Izadi

DLSU Business & Economics Review

This research aims to present a DSGE model that can investigate the effect of utility changes due to the financial sanctions imposed on the dominant economy by defining different utility functions for households. The link between the real economy and financial markets stems from the countries’ need for external finance to engage in investment opportunities in each country. Each and every economy often needs foreign funding; however, restrictions can limit the access of the given country to international financial markets. The existence of a crisis in international financial markets such as international sanctions can aggravate the adverse shocks and their …

Towards Establishment Of A Payment For Ecosystem Services (Pes) In Protected Areas: The Case Of Mounts Banahaw And San Cristobal In Quezon Province, Philippines1, Luisito Abueg, Julie Carl P. Ureta, Arlene B. Inocencio

DLSU Business & Economics Review

This paper examines the potential of establishing payments for ecosystem services in the Mounts Banahaw and San Cristobal Protected Landscape. The findings show that this process entails more than just determining the willingness to pay of those who are benefiting from the ecosystem services. It also requires the buy-in of potential sellers. More important is clearly defining the product, that is, what the buyers will be paying for and what the sellers will be providing, so that the ecosystem service will be sustained. In addition, identification of some third parties to mediate between buyers and sellers and to serve as …

Online Review Solicitations Reduce Extremity Bias In Online Review Distributions And Increase Their Representativeness, Hülya Karaman

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

Representative online customer reviews are critical to the effective functioning of the Internet economy. In this study, I investigate the representativeness of online review distributions to examine how extremity bias and conformity impact it, and explore whether online review solicitations alter representativeness. Past research on extreme distribution of online ratings commonly relied solely on observed public online ratings. One strength of the current paper is that I observe the private satisfaction ratings of customers regardless of whether they choose to write an online review or not. I show that both extremity bias and conformity exist in unsolicited online word-of-mouth (WOM) …

The Salience Of Choice Fuels Independence: Implications For Self-Perception, Cognition, And Behavior, Kevin Nanakdewa, Shilpa Madan, Krishna Savani, Hazel Rose Markus

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

More than ever before, people across the world are exposed to ideas of choice and have opportunities to make choices. What are the consequences of this rapidly expanding exposure to the ideas and practice of choice? The current research investigated an unexamined and potentially powerful consequence of this salience of choice: an awareness and experience of independence. Four studies (n = 1,288) across three cultural contexts known to differ in both the salience of choice and the cultural emphasis on independence (the United States, Singapore, and India) provided converging evidence of a link between the salience of choice and independence. …
