<p>This study investigates the foreign exchange exposure and determinants of risk for different time horizons of Turkish companies from 1997 to 2011. In order to analyze the effect of the 2001 crisis, the study is split into two sub-periods: pre-crisis, and post-crisis. The empirical findings of the study suggest a negative relationship between exposure and asset turnover ratio, and profit margin, while there was a positive relationship between exposure and leverage. The study also provides empirical support for the fact that the companies with a higher export rate are exposed to higher risk. Finally, large companies are subject to less risk in the short run.</p>

The objective of this paper is to analyze the capital structure, the concentration of property and the policy of dividends as determinants of the problems of agency in Chilean companies. As a measure of agency costs, the asset turnover ratio was used as a benchmark for management efficiency in the use of the company's assets, which is an inverse measure of agency costs. The results show that a higher level of indebtedness seems to favor the discretional behavior of managers. However, there is also evidence that when the debt is a short-term debt, the divergence of interest decreases between shareholders and managers. The concentration of property on the other hand has a non-linear effect on the costs of agency, which means that, first, it acts as a mechanism to attenuate managerial discretion, but when it reaches a certain level, an effect of expropriation of major shareholders over minor shareholders seems to be produced. In relation to the dividend policy, a positive relationship is observed with efficiency in the use of assets, mainly in the presence of high growth opportunities.

This research is the foremost determination to investigate the long and short run affiliation amongst the variables of employment. For this purpose we use ARDL bound tests. The data from the period of 1972 to 2016 has been used in this research. These results indicate that employment has statistically significant and positive relationship between the variables of employment. Orders of integration of variables used in this analysis are I (O) and I (1). The results of this study show that per capita of GDP and expenditures of government have significant positive relationship with the employment in both time periods, the short and long run. Thenoteworthyempirical relationship is found in long run between GFCF, while in short period of time it shows destructive relation with employment. While FDI shows a high level of significant and positive relation both in long run and short run. Secondary school enrolment has significant and positive relation with employment in both time periods the long and short run time period. The relationship of money supply with employment in long run is positive while in short run it shows significant but negative relation with employment.

Using panel data analysis, this study investigates the relationship among Islamic bonds (Sukuk) and the performance of IB’s of Pakistan for the period of 2008-2017. The study has used two stages approach. At the first stage, the profitability and liquidity of banks have been measured by calculating financial ratios. These ratios were than further used in regression analysis to examine whether a relationship exists between Sukuk and the bank’s profitability and liquidity. Our study found a significant positive relationship among Sukuk and the liquidity of IB’s. While, the results show significant but negative relationship between Sukuk and profitability of IB’s. Based on the findings of the study, we concluded that Sukuk has an important role in enhancing the liquidity of IB’s but it has adverse impact on the profitability of IB’s of Pakistan. Thus, the emergence of Sukuk market may pose threats to the profitability of the IB’s of Pakistan.

In this study, the relationship between the pandemic and the stock market range of the dates 17-03-2020 and 14-04-2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic was most intense, was examined by panel data analysis method. In this study conducted for Turkey and Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States, China and Netherland countries where the COVID-19 pandemic is most common, COVID-19 data is based on the total number of cases and the total number of deaths, while stock market data is based on important stock indexes of countries. The results of the study, while a negative relationship was found between total number of cases and the stock market, a positive relationship was found between total number of death and the stock market. This is an indication that market investors are closely monitoring the number of COVID-19 cases, and that the number of cases described significantly affects stock market investments.

The aim of this study was to identify the variables that influence the firms inclusion in the BM&FBOVESPA Corporate Sustainability Index (CSI), and if such membership is correlated with the firm market value in the Brazilian market. We collected annual data of firms for the period 2006 to 2011. The methodology included the use of methods such as regression analysis type logit and panel data models. The results showed that companies that have joined the ISE have characteristics distinct from those who did not opt for membership. Firms with larger size, higher profitability and sectors considered high environmental impact are more likely to be classified in the ISE. When examined whether inclusion in the CSI has relation with the metric firm value, the results did not reject the hypothesis of positive relationship, even during the financial crisis of 2008, however, found evidence of a negative relationship in the post-crisis period.

Purpose. Despite the increasing trend of private savings in Nigeria, the country is still characterised by low investment and output growth, thus, suggesting that the average saving rate is still far from being impressive. This study investigates the determinants of private savings in Nigeria. Methodology. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model using annual time series data from 1981 to 2016 within the theoretical framework derived from the life-cycle hypothesis is employed in this study. The key variables under investigation are private savings, income, dependency ratio, real interest rate, social security payment, financial development and macroeconomic stability. The data used for analysis are sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin (2016) and World Development Indicator (2016). Findings. The results show that lifetime income and social security payment have significant positive relationship with private saving in the long-run, while adult dependency has significant negative relationship. In the short-run, adult dependency and social security payment have significant positive relationship with private savings. In addition, the result shows that 62% of deviation from the long-run equilibrium level of private savings is annually corrected for by the model estimated. Originality. This research investigates both the long-run and short-run effects of the various determinants of private savings in Nigeria. Thus, the study can serve as eye opener to the important variables that can improve the level of private savings in Nigeria.

This paper investigates firms issuing high-yield debt and the impact on their stock price by identifying determinants of the negative abnormal return that surrounds the announcement of an issue in the short-run. It is learned the length, coupon payment and amount of the issue are significant in explaining the CAR as is the age of the firm, first-time issuers and the marketplace where its stock trades. Firm performance ratios including the current and total-asset-turnover ratio also have explanatory power. These determinants of the CAR have an explanatory power approaching 55%
