Is firm behavior mainly driven by its environment or rather by the characteristics of its managers? We develop a cognitive theory of manager fixed effects, where the allocation of managerial attention determines firm behavior. We show that in complex environments, the endogenous allocation of attention exacerbates manager fixed effects. Small differences in managerial expertise then may result in dramatically different firm behavior, as managers devote scarce attention in a way that amplifies initial differences. In contrast, in less complex environments, the endogenous allocation of attention mitigates manager fixed effects. Firm owners prefer “managers with style” only in complex environments.

Zusammenfassung. Der Beitrag zeigt die Analysepotentiale der repräsentativen Mikrodaten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) für die Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie (A/O-Psychologie) auf. Dabei werden allgemeine Charakteristika von Stichprobe und Erhebung des SOEP vorgestellt, sowie Konstrukte mit besonderer Relevanz für die Psychologie eingeführt. Zudem diskutieren wir Analysemethoden für Paneldaten, mit denen sich die Potentiale des SOEP realisieren lassen. Neben den Möglichkeiten des SOEP für Stabilitäts- und Verlaufsanalysen stellen wir die Potentiale längsschnittlicher Daten für kausale Analysen heraus. Dabei erläutern wir insbesondere die Analyselogik längsschnittlicher Fixed Effects Modellierungen und vergleichen diese mit weiteren längsschnittlichen Analyseverfahren. Wir argumentieren, dass bei Anwendung akkurater Methoden Teilaspekte der experimentellen Analyselogik auf Grundlage längsschnittlicher Surveydaten angenähert werden können. Folglich stellen die Daten des SOEP immer dann eine wertvolle Ressource für die A/O-Psychologie dar, wenn a) unabhängige Merkmale aus ethischen oder praktischen Gründen nicht systematisch manipuliert werden können, b) die Kernbefunde experimenteller Primärstudien auf Grundlage eines repräsentativen Samples repliziert werden sollen oder c) Interesse am langfristigen Verlauf eines Indikators besteht.

The Impact

The Impact of monetary Policy on Ouput is an ambiguous. The results of previous empirical studies indicate that the impact can be a positive or negative relationship. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of monetary policy on Output more detail. The variables to estimatate monetery poicy are used state and board interest rate andrate. This research is conducted by Ordinary Least Square or Instrumental Variabel, method for 5 countries ASEAN. The state data are estimated for the period of 1980 – 2014. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the impact of monetary policy on Output shown are varied.Keyword: Monetary Policy, Output, Panel Data, Fixed Effects Model

Pooled Data

The present study intends to reveal spatial regularities between non-immigrant and immigrant numbers in two different ways. First, it questions the existence of those regularities when spatial scales get finer. Second, it uses pooled data over four population censuses covering the period from 1991 to 2006, which enabled us to apply appropriate techniques to remove those unobserved fixed effects so that the estimations would accurately identify the linkage between local immigrant and non-immigrant numbers. The results provide evidence about the existence of negative spatial regularities between non-immigrant and immigrant numbers in Canada at national scale.

The Capital Structure

The purpose of this research to analyze the influence of firm size, liquidity, growth opportunities, tangibility asset, and business risk to the capital structure of listed food and beverage manufacturing companies in Indonesia and Vietnam Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2016. The result shows that the fixed effects model should be appropriate for this study as compared to the random effect model. Capital structure significantly differences between the two countries. Firm size has a positive but insignificant influence on the capital structure in Indonesia, whereas it has a positive and a significant influence on the capital structure in Vietnam. Liquidity has a negative and significant influence on the capital structure both in Indonesia and Vietnam. Growth opportunities have a negative but insignificant influence on the capital structure both in Indonesia and Vietnam. Asset tangibility has a positive but insignificant influence on the capital structure in Indonesia, but it has the negative but insignificant influence on the capital structure in Vietnam. Ultimately, the business risk has a negative and significant influence on the capital structure in Indonesia but has a positive and insignificant influence on the capital structure in Vietnam.

Most often the social comparison or relative income hypothesis has been used as an explanation for the lack of systematic relationship between income and happiness, using the ordered probit regression method. The identification of relevant reference group and the estimation of the differential effects of comparison income have been controversial. To overcome these twin issues, this paper uses an ordinal comparison income approach based on rich/poor dichotomy and rank income. The rank income of an individual is defined as his relative position in the income distribution within the reference group and the average income of the reference group is used to define the rich/poor classification. The differential effects of ordinal incomes across life satisfaction distribution is estimated by the panel fixed effects ordered profit regression model using the WVS data for India. The estimated results show that ordinal income comparison, rather than cardinal average reference income, is a better predictor of life satisfaction levels. Raising income level is relatively important for less satisfied people while increasing rank status is important for highly satisfied people in India.

The primary purpose of the study is to explore the antecedents of corporate social and environmental responsibilities discourse practices in Pakistan. The industry sensitivity, government shareholding, block holder ownership, print media coverage, environmental monitoring programs, and strategic posture are examined as antecedents of corporate social and environmental responsibility practices. A multidimensional theoretical perspective namely stakeholder theory (ST), institutional theory (IT), agency theory (PAT), and legitimacy theory (LT) is used to conceptualize the phenomena. All the four of perspective theories (positive accounting theory, legitimacy theory, stakeholder theory, and institutional theory) claim that there are ‘pressures’ that impact the organization. How much ‘pressures’ are recognized, managed or satisfied differs from one perspective of theory to the other. To estimate the data, this study uses three sets of panel data models, i.e., the pooled ordinary least squares model (POLS) or constant coefficients model, fixed effects (FEM or least squares dummy variable/LSDV model) and random-effects models. The final sample is comprising of 173 firms over eight years from 2011 to 2017. The firms listed in PSX are included in the sample. Overall the findings of the study have shown agreement with the proposed results. However, the study has provided more support to the institutional theory and stakeholder theory.
