تأثير الالتزامات المحتملة في قيمة الوحدة الاقتصادية, حيدر علي المسعودي
Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
ان إعداد القوائم المالية يجب أن يعكس نشاط الوحدة الاقتصادية، ومن العناصر المؤثرة بذلك النشاط هي الالتزامات المترتبة نتيجة لممارسة ذلك النشاط الذي لهُ أهمية كبيرة في جودة الابلاغ المالي وتأثيره في قيمة الوحدة الاقتصادية، إذ تواجه بعضها مشاكل في الإبلاغ عن الالتزامات المحتملة التي يمكن أن تشكل عبئاً مستقبلياً عليها، وبالنتيجة فأن المستثمرين غالباً ما يلجأون إلى القوائم المالية لغرض معرفة المركز المالي وما تقدمه من معلومات مالية عن طبيعة التزاماتها المحتملة وقدرتها على التنبؤ بها من إمكانية الاعتراف والقياس والابلاغ عن تلك الالتزامات المحتملة، عن طريق افتراض أن لجودة الإبلاغ المالي عن الالتزامات المحتملة تأثيرا في تحسين القيمة …
Mothers As Career Leaders: Do Maternity Leave Laws Make A Difference?, Briar Rose Smith
Mothers As Career Leaders: Do Maternity Leave Laws Make A Difference?, Briar Rose Smith
Honors Theses
On a national level, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) of 1993 is the only law that provides certain qualifying individuals with 12 weeks of unpaid, job protected maternity leave, although some states and private firms have implemented forms of paid maternity leave. Previous research indicates that female employees, regardless of their parental status, receive fewer promotions due to information asymmetry after the FMLA (Thomas 2015). In addition, some research finds that particular industries are more family friendly due to access to flexible work schedules for mothers (Goldin 2014). This thesis expands on both findings using data from the …

Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
يمثل تطور أنظمة التكاليف واحدا من أهم التحديات التي تواجه شركات القطاع الخاص والعام والمختلط الهادفة للربح، حيث تكمن مشكلة البحث في استخدام الأسلوب التقليدي لاحتساب كلفة المنتجات مما لا يتيح لهذا الأسلوب أمكانية القياس والتحديد الدقيق لهذه التكاليف. ونظرا لعدم جدوى هذا الأسلوب في خدمة الإدارة في ترشيد قرارات التسعير والربحية وتقويم الأداء التنافسي، من هنا برزت أهمية تطبيق نظام التكاليف على أساس الأنشطة ( ABC ) في الشركة العراقية لإنتاج البذور بالشكل الذي يحقق مجموعة نتائج منها قياس أفضل للتكاليف, تعزيز الرقابة على التكاليف, قرارات إدارية تخدم تسعير المنتج بشكل أفضل. ويهدف البحث إلى التعرف على سمات نظام …

القيادة الأبوية وتأثيرها في سلوكيات العمل (دراسة تطبيقية على عينّة من الكليات الأهلية في محافظة النجف الأشرف), علي رزاق جياد العابدي
Muthanna Journal of Administrative and Economics Sciences
يهدف هذا البحث إلى الكشف عن مدى تأثير القيادة الأبوية على سلوكيات العاملين وذلك من خلال تحسين السلوكيات الايجابية والحد من السلوكيات السلبية. وتنبع اهمية هذا البحث اولاً من عدم وجود دراسات عربية تناولت هذه المتغيرات في أنموذج فرضي واحد، وهذا يدل على وجود فجوة معرفية لابد من الخوض في دراستها، وكذلك مدى حاجة القادة في المنظمات المبحوثة الى نمط قيادي يتسم بكسب ولاء المرؤوسين واحترامهم مع اظهار الجانب الاخلاقي والخيّري تجاههم وتجاه عوائلهم . ومن اجل تحقيق اهداف البحث تمت دراسة علاقات الارتباط والتأثير بين أبعاد القيادة الأبوية المتمثلة بـ (القيادة الإستبدادية والقيادة الأخلاقية والقيادة الخيّرة) وبين أبعاد سلوكيات …
Volatility Analysis Of Us Equity And Federal Funds Markets Through The Recent Financial Crisis And Recovery Periods, Based On Release Of Fomc Meeting Statements And Minutes, Hanxiao Yue
Student Theses and Dissertations
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) is the principal maker of monetary policy in the United States. The main instrument of monetary policy is the target federal funds rate, which is de facto the base interest rate of the US economy. The FOMC meets around eight times a year to discuss the economic outlook and decide on this metric. Throughout most of its history, the Fed has been opaque about how it decides on monetary policy, but in recent years it has adopted a more transparent disclosure policy. For each FOMC meeting, it currently releases a brief statement immediately after …

Does Wage-Inflation Targeting Complement Foreign Exchange Intervention? An Evaluation Of A Multi-Target, Two-Instrument Monetary Policy Framework, Taojun Xie, Jingting Liu, Joseph D. Alba, Wai-Mun Chia
Does Wage-Inflation Targeting Complement Foreign Exchange Intervention? An Evaluation Of A Multi-Target, Two-Instrument Monetary Policy Framework, Taojun Xie, Jingting Liu, Joseph D. Alba, Wai-Mun Chia
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
We assess the inclusion of wage inflation as an intermediate target of an emerging central bank using a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with sticky wages and prices calibrated for the South Korean economy. The model includes wage inflation as an additional target jointly with domestic price inflation and the output gap in a Taylor- type interest rate rule operating with a sterilized foreign exchange (FX) intervention rule. Our results show a complementary relationship between wage inflation targeting and price inflation targeting. That is, by supplementing price inflation targeting with wage inflation targeting, welfare improves for cases with and without …
Corporate Donations And Shareholder Value, Hao Liang, Luc Renneboog
Corporate Donations And Shareholder Value, Hao Liang, Luc Renneboog
Research Collection Lee Kong Chian School Of Business
Do corporate donations enhance shareholder wealth or reflect agency problems? We address this question for a global sample of firms whereby we distinguish between charitable and political donations, as well as between donations in cash and in kind. We find that charitable donations are positively related to financial performance and firm value, which is consistent with the value-enhancement hypothesis. This positive effect on firm value is stronger for cash than in-kind donations. In contrast, political donations do not appear to enhance shareholder value, but rather tend to reflect agency problems, as they are higher for firms with poor internal corporate …

Nebraska Monthly Economic Indicators: March 17, 2017, Eric Thompson
Leading Economic Indicator Reports
The Leading Economic Indicator – Nebraska (LEI-N) 1 rose by 2.08% during February of 2017. The indicator also rose rapidly in January. The two increases indicate that economic growth will be strong in Nebraska during the second half of 2017. Among the components of the indicator, business expectations were very strong during February. Further, initial claims for unemployment insurance declined during the month, a sign of a strengthening labor market. The value of the U.S. dollar also fell during February, which is a positive sign for Nebraska’s export-oriented businesses.

P14. Estimating The Effects Of File-Sharing On Movie Box-Office, Zhuang Liu
Western Research Forum
Background:
File-sharing and on-line piracy have caught great public attention. There is a public debate on whether or not we should close torrenting sites like Piratedbay.com. Copyright holders argue yes and claim substantial loss due to filesharing while Pirates claim that file-sharing is welfare-improving and the effects on sale are negligible. Right now no consensus has been reached on how file-sharing affects industry revenue in economics literature.
Methods:
Using a novel dataset of downloads from Bit-Torrent network, this paper quantifies the effects of file-sharing on movie box-office revenue. I estimate a random coefficient demand model of movies to …

Does Regulation Of Physicians Reduce Health Care Spending?, Scott Barkowski
Does Regulation Of Physicians Reduce Health Care Spending?, Scott Barkowski
Publications
The medical community argues that physician fear of legal liability increases health care spending. Theoretically, though, the effect could be positive or negative, and empirical evidence has supported both cases. Previous studies, however, have ignored the fact that physicians face risk from industry oversight groups like state-level medical licensing boards in addition to civil litigation risk. This article addresses this omission by incorporating previously unused data on punishments by oversight groups against physicians, known as adverse actions, along with malpractice payments data to study state-level health care spending. My analysis suggests that, contrary to conventional wisdom, spending does not rise …
Effect Of Price Reduction And Increased Service Frequency On Public Transport Travel, Inge Brechan
Effect Of Price Reduction And Increased Service Frequency On Public Transport Travel, Inge Brechan
Journal of Public Transportation
A random effects meta-analysis of the results from 15 projects involving price reduction and 9 projects involving increased service frequency showed that both price reduction and increased service frequency generated public transport travels. On average, the increased service frequency projects generated more travels by public transport than the price reduction projects. In the increased service frequency projects the proportion of travels generated by the increased frequency was strongly influenced by the size of the frequency increase. In the price reduction projects, we did not find a significant effect of the size of the price reduction on the proportion of travels …

Contemporary central bonking in Nigeria is becoming laced with intricacies, and monetary actions impacting every segment of the society. Paradoxically, monetary policy landscape is characterized by complexities and frequent changes in the monetary environment amidst relatively constant monetary instruments. The economic recession witnessed by Nigeria from Q1 to Q4 of 2016 had reinforced the renaissance of primordial and 'nativist' models of unregulated banking arrangement cum investment options via Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes, flexible exchange rote regime, selected import forex restrictions, calls for unconventional monetary policy with special reference to negative interest rote, central bonk communication and financial stability concern. …

Transitioning College Media From Print Focused Business Models To Digitally Focused Business Models, Celina Oseguera
Journalism
The noticeable downturn in print advertising indicates a need for change in the news industry business model. College media is not immune to this decline and need for change. A change in business model calls for transitioning to an alternative system that does not primarily rely on print products and advertising — a digitally focused business model. Many college media organizations around the United States have started to pursue this type of model, changing the way they produce and present news in the process. Taking into account the state of print focused business models in the general and collegiate news …
Determinants Of Urban Land Supply In China: How Do Political Factors Matter?, Wen-Tai Hsu, Xiaolu Li, Yang Tang, Jing Wu
Determinants Of Urban Land Supply In China: How Do Political Factors Matter?, Wen-Tai Hsu, Xiaolu Li, Yang Tang, Jing Wu
Research Collection School Of Economics
This paper explores two political factors for their potential effects on urban land supply in China: corruption, and competition for promotion. We find that standard urban economic predictions hold in the sense that both population and income increases are strongly significant determinants for the increase in urban land supply. Conditional on these demand-side factors, we find that the usage of two-stage auctions (as a proxy for corruption) is highly correlated with the increase in land supply. The corruption effects are strongest for commercial land, followed by residential land and then industrial land. To shed light on the competition motives among …

Corporate Investment And Stock Liquidity: Evidence On The Price Impact Of Trade, Moonsoo Kang, Wei Wang, Chanyoung Eom
Business Faculty Publications
We document that corporate investment contributes to stock liquidity. This study demonstrates a positive relationship between abnormal corporate investment and stock liquidity in the cross-section.Moreover, stock liquidity
improves more apparently for firms with financial constraints. Our robustness check confirms that the
existing regularities cannot explain the current finding. This analysis suggests that corporate investment decreases
the risk of a firm and that a change in the risk affects the behavior of a market maker, leading to an increase
in stock liquidity.
The Role Of Islamic Finance In Economic Development, Nora Khan
The Role Of Islamic Finance In Economic Development, Nora Khan
Lingnan Journal of Banking, Finance and Economics
Islamic financial institutions have been growing rapidly in the past few years. Islamic finance refers to investments that are permissible in accordance with Sharia, the Islamic law. Sharia law views money as a measuring tool for value and not an “asset” itself. “It does not permit receipt and payment of riba(interest), gharar(excessive uncertainty), maysir(gambling), short sales or financing activities that it considers harmful to society” (IMF website). Interest, a form of income from money, is therefore prohibited. For example, the income obtained from banks must come from the gain or loss of the enterprises they underwrite and not from interest …

Fdi And Manufacturing Industry In Asia, Luyi Jin
Lingnan Journal of Banking, Finance and Economics
The study finds that China’s manufacturing still maintained a growth level from 2003 to 2013. However, the growth has been declining. The rapid development of ASEAN economies led to the rise of the emerging manufacturing countries which have slowly adjusted and found their own advantages in challenging China.
The main conclusions of this paper are twofold. First, China will soon lose her low labor cost competitive advantage and needs to look for new strategy or industrial upgrades. Second, the current pattern of international division of labor will last for a fairly long period that developing countries will continue to serve …
