The article presents the results of five years of research on transparency levels regarding the disclosure non‑financial data by companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE). The research was conducted as part of a project entitled “ESG analysis of companies in Poland”. The goal of the project is to provide credible knowledge about the quality of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) data on the Polish capital market. The article mainly contains the results of a comprehensive analysis of how well the listed companies reported ESG related data in 2016. The five years of analysis enable us to show a change in the level of non‑financial data disclosure between 2012 and 2016.1 The results of the research show that, from an investor’s perspective, there is still a huge information gap on the Polish capital market, especially in the reporting of environmental and social data.

The high capital cost indicates the company's risk to obtain funding from debt and equity. The test in this study aims to prove the association between corporate social responsibility and corporate governance with the cost of capital. This study employs data sourced from financial reports and annual reports of the listed companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, downloaded from www.idx.co.id. In addition, this research data also employs stock price information sourced from finance.yahoo.com. The sample selection in this study used purposive sampling with a total sample of 260 observations from 65 companies from 2016 to 2019. The hypothesis test in this study used multiple linear regression analysis for panel data. This study concludes that corporate governance is positively associated with the cost of capital, while corporate social responsibility is negatively associated with the cost of capital. This study suggests that Indonesia's capital market supervisory authority needs to improve its governance policies and governance oversight mechanisms for companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Abstract Research background and purpose: The CAPM, Fama-French and modified Fama-French models were used to estimate the cost of the capital of the DJIA and selected Polish stock indexes were used. The estimated cost of capital was the cost of the portfolio of corporate investment projects estimated by market returns. Research methodology: The model tests were run on 276 monthly returns of stocks listed on the markets in the years 1995–2019. The bootstrap method to estimate the confidence interval of the cost of capital was used. Results: The highest and positive cost of capital median was found for the DJIA index, about 0.85% monthly, and for the WIG20 and WIGDIV indexes, about 0.25% monthly. The cost of capital median for the mWIG80, WIGBANK and WIGCHEMIA indexes were found to be negative. This was due to large errors in the estimated cost of capital. Novelty: Minor errors in the estimation of the cost of capital of index DJIA may result from a more rational policy for the implementation of investment projects by companies included in the index.

AbstractThis work is an attempt to estimate the cost of equity capital characteristic among portfolios of companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the years 1995-2017. To this end, the classic CAPM is used to estimate the cost of risk. Model tests are based on 252 monthly returns. In order to assess the errors of cost of capital estimation, the bootstrap method is used. The estimated cost of capital refers to the project portfolio with real options on these projects. Stock returns are generated not only by the companies implementing projects but also through real options modifying these projects. The estimated cost of capital can be a valuable indicator for portfolio managers. Also, it can be an approximate indicator for making decisions on the implementation of new investment projects. The estimated cost of capital assumes the highest values for value portfolios. The estimated cost of capital assumes the small values for growth portfolios.

Abstract—Expense stickiness is the thickness of the charge showed a response asymmetric load behavior towards a change in activity, ie when the activity decreases the burden will decline more slowly than when the activity increases. If a company's activity has decreased but also followed the rapid decline in the cost, also has been called Decrease expense stickiness, researchers predict there are motivation of management to manage earnings. The existence of good corporate governance, that with good corporate governance activities of companies that declined to follow a decreasing cost also for their efficiency on costs. It was concluded that good corporate governance also affects decreasing expense stickiness, although not as strong earnings management.The purpose of this study was to examine the pattern of expense stickiness whether companies in Indonesia tend to earnings management or good corporate governance to increase corporate profits. The population used in this study are all non-financial entities listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI) in the period 2014-2015. To see the effect of earnings management to use variable expense stickiness total log administration and operational expense (SGA). As for the influence of good corporate governance to use variable expense stickiness total log administration and operational expense (SGA) or the FACT which is a variable of good corporate governance.The results of this study found that companies using earnings management do not lower the expense stickiness. This shows that company management directs the achievement of performance through real activities management rather than just accrual recognition of performance. As for good corporate governance tends to decrease the stickiness expense, prove that GCG is able to oversee management activities in managing the company. Asymmetric/ opportunistic management actions can be reduced through the effectiveness of the GCG mechanism.   Keywords: Corporate Governance; Earnings Management; Expense Stickiness.

The aim of the paper is to assess the condition of commercial banks listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange after the first three months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Poland. The consolidated results for Q1 and Q2 2020 were used focusing on selected evaluation areas such as: capital adequacy, profitability, liquidity, credit portfolio quality as well as operational efficiency. The authors concluded that as a result of the credit crunch and the retention of previously earned profits, almost every medium (except for mBank SA) and every large bank experienced an increase in capital adequacy ratios. Moreover, the profitability of the banking sector eroded in each group of banks, with the rule that ROE is higher in the group of medium and large banks compared to the small ones. With the exception of Idea Bank SA all banks during the pandemic experienced an improvement in liquidity ratios. There was reported an increase in the cost of risk, with the greatest augmentation in small banks. It is maintained that the larger the bank the lower cost of risk. In almost every institution, the risk is mitigated by an increase in the degree of coverage by provisions for impaired receivables. In small banks there was noticed a deterioration in operational efficiency. In medium and large banks, despite a sharp drop in profits and additional costs associated with the pandemic, the process of efficiency improvement was reinforced.

The economic and social transformations, the bankruptcies recorded, and the financial crisis affecting all economies have increased the interest for the corporate governance concept. Our intention in this paper was to study the impact of corporate governance attributes on performance given the information published by the entities listed on five stock exchanges from Europe, namely the main market from Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) in Romania, the Athens Stock Exchange(ATHEX) main market in Greece, Financial Times Stock Exchange 100 Index (FTSE 100) from Great Britain, Spanish Stock Exchange 35 Index (IBEX 35) from Spain, and Warsaw Stock Exchange 20 Index (WIG 20) from Poland, between 2016–2018. Through mathematical modeling and multiple linear regression, we aimed to determine the extent to which corporate governance characteristics, firm characteristics, industry and stock market fixed effects, and random effects influence the performance of 226 entities included in our sample. The empirical findings revealed that CEO duality, the number of non-executive directors and women on board, audit committee, and audit opinion influenced performance measured by the Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) indicators. The ideas highlighted and the results obtained in this research contribute to the literature that analyzes the extent to which an effective governance determines the increase in performance, needed for a sustainable development.
