Firm Data

Manufacturing firm data for 1820 to 1850 are employed to investigate the role of women and children in the industrialization of the American Northeast. The principal findings include: (1) Women and children composed a major share of the entire manufacturing labor force; (2) their employment was closely associated with production processes used by large establishments, both mechanized and non-mechanized; (3) the wage of females (and boys) increased relative to that of men with industrial development; and (4) female labor force participation in industrial counties was substantial. These findings bear on the nature of technical change during early industrialization and why American industrial development was initially concentrated in the Northeast.

Structured Questionnaire

The research examines the determinants of job analysis and competency models affecting employee’s motivation and competencies in a manufacturing firm. Data were obtained from a readymade garments based on structured questionnaire. Results show that competency has no relationship with rewards, motivation, and job description. Conversely, competency is positively related with performance appraisal, motivation, training, and selection process. The study also reports that rewards and job specifications are futile to leverage employee’s competencies. It further suggests that harnessing these variables might contribute the firm with potential to enhance motivation and competency level to a greater extent.

International Borrowing

This paper studies the effect of capital controls on misallocation and welfare in an economy with financial constraints. We build a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firms, financial constraints and international trade and calibrate it to the Chilean economy. Since high-productivity and exporting firms need to borrow more to reach their optimal scale, capital controls that tax international borrowing hit them harder. As a result, misallocation increases relatively more for this group of firms, and for young firms that are still trying to reach their optimal scale. In terms of welfare, the model predicts a sizable aggregate loss of 2.39 percent when capital controls are introduced, with welfare decreasing twice as much for high-productivity firms. We empirically corroborate the main insights in terms of misallocation obtained from the model using Chilean manufacturing firm data from 1990 to 2007.

Firm Data

Abstract Danish manufacturing firm data reveal that 1) industries differ in within-firm worker skill (= wage) dispersion, and 2) within-firm skill dispersion positively correlates with firm productivity in industries with higher average skill dispersion. We argue that these patterns reflect technological differences between industries: firms in the “skill complementarity” industries profit from hiring similarly able workers, while the “skill substitutability” firms thrive on skill differences. Our study produces a robust, data-driven and theoretically validated classification of industries into the complementarity and substitutability groups, unveils hitherto unnoticed technological heterogeneity between industries within the same economy, and illustrates its importance through simulations.

<p>This study aims to provide empirical evidence on adoption of IFRS and the effect to<br />accrual earnings management and real earnings management. This study used<br />manufacturing firm data which is listing on Indonesia Stock<br />Exchange in 2010-2013 and there are 63 firm used as sample. This study used<br />secondary data. 2010 and 2011’s financial statement used to test descriptive<br />statistic at the beginning stage adoption of IFRS. 2012 and 2013’s financial<br />statement used to test descriptive statistic at the advance stage adoption of IFRS.<br />The technique of data analysis in this study using multiple linear regression<br />analysis. <br />The result of this study find empirical evidence that IFRS adoption has negative<br />influence to accrual earnings management. This finding confirmation the result of <br />descriptive statistic that accruals earnings management stage descend at the <br />advance stage adoption of IFRS compared to the beginning stage adoption of IFRS.<br />IFRS adoption doesn’t have influence to real earnings management through proxy<br />as operation cash flow, production cost, and descretioner cost after firm adopted<br />IFRS at the beginning stage and also at the advance stage adoption of IFRS.</p>

This study was conducted in 2012 and replicates Bussin and Huysamen’s (2004) work, conducted in 2003, on remuneration policies. It investigates the factors driving remuneration policy in South Africa and determines whether these factors have changed since 2003. Anonymous e-mail questionnaires were received from 131 senior company representatives. All participating companies were members of the South African Reward Association (SARA) or clients of a large remuneration consulting firm. Data were analysed using a chi-squared test and factor analysis. Results support Bussin and Huysamen’s study, which found that the two main drivers of change in policy were the retention of talented staff and the financial results of the organisation. However, three components of remuneration are receiving greater prominence than they did in 2003: governance in the organisation, merit pay and retention strategies. These findings suggest a greater shareholder expectation that pay should be linked to performance, and that pay acts as a retention strategy for critical staff.
