An Analysis Of The Effects Of Foreign Ownership On The Level Of Tax Avoidance Across Philippine Publicly Listed Firms, Ailyn A. Shi, Francis R. Concepcion, Cheri Mae R. Laguinday, Trisha Amber T. Ong Hian Huy, Angelo A. Unite

DLSU Business & Economics Review

Tax avoidance schemes used by firms to lessen their tax burden have long attracted widespread concern in the Philippines, where poor tax collection due to tax leakages has contributed to chronic fiscal deficits in the country. In this regard, corporate governance mechanisms, such as the firm’s ownership structure, play a significant role in ensuring that management acts ethically and in the best interest of the firm’s owners. In this study, we examine the effect of foreign ownership on corporate tax avoidance for non-financial firms listed in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) from 2009 to 2015.

Penalties And Some Counterfactuals To Beauty Premium: Evidence From A Job Search Simulation Experiment, Luisito C. Abueg, Patricia Gene O. Hubilla, Francheska M. Lozano, Patricia Isabel L. Valdivieso, Melissa Marri S. Valencia

DLSU Business & Economics Review

By utilizing Heckman’s two-stage selection model, this paper attempts to establish correlates between an individual’s physical attractiveness and the employer’s hiring decisions and wage allocations in an experimental labor market. Undergraduate students from De La Salle University Manila represented the sample for applicants. The findings show that, first, beauty premium is lower for men—more physically attractive male candidates have lower chances of getting hired, and subsequently acquire lower wages than more physically attractive women. Second, beauty premium does not differ between the sales and finance occupations. Third, the relationship between beauty and hiring probability comes from the employer’s personal bias, …

Individuals Responses To Economic Cycles: Organizational Relevance And A Multilevel Theoretical Integration, Nina Sirola

Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business

The state of the economy represents a concern for individuals and shapes their behavior in profound ways. The current review of studies on how individuals respond to economic cycles reveals that organizational relevance of such responses has often not been considered, and the literature is characterized by a variety of seemingly disconnected explanations for how and why individuals respond to the perceived state of the economy. I develop a theoretical framework that systematizes the literature and accounts for the seemingly disparate findings, highlighting the underlying functionality of such responses for individuals. I then integrate the literature on individual responses to …

Scaling Jobs For The Poor: Reducing Poverty Through The Impact Sourcing Bpo Approach, Aneel Karnani, Kevin Mckague

Markets, Globalization & Development Review

The best way to alleviate poverty is to increase the income of the poor by providing productive employment. A pragmatic approach is to focus on a sector of the economy that is employment intensive and growing rapidly. A good candidate is the business process outsourcing (BPO) sector. Impact sourcing is a subset of the BPO sector that focuses on reducing poverty by providing jobs to the poor. While this sounds promising, impact sourcing has not delivered on the promise, at least not yet. We illustrate our argument using in-depth case studies of three of the largest impact sourcing service providers, …

Made In The Usa: Technological Corporatism, Infrastructure Regulation, And Dupont 1902-1917, Roman Y. Shemakov

Swarthmore Undergraduate History Journal

The turn of the twentieth century radically renewed industrial organization across the United States. Early American corporations -- centralized manufacturing hubs with journeymen and apprentices laboring under one roof -- were seldom prepared for the transformations that scientific management and structural reorganization would bring to social relations. At the helm of World War 1, DuPont became the epitome of broader national restructuring. Through a close relationship with American military industries and legislatures, the DuPont brothers came to represent Business as an inseparable component of the State. While labor historiography has primarily focused on organizers’ relationship with regulators, important segments of …
