ICT Intentions and Digital Abilities of Future Labor Market Entrants in Finland

Daily lives of citizens in current societies have changed with the spread of digital technologies, online services, and digital communication. Alongside this, the information and communication technology (ICT) labor force is expected to grow massively over the next years, requiring in- creased number of applicants for digital education and sufficient digital skills from every labor market entrant.This study examines the digital abilities of Finnish upper secondary school stu- dents (N = 3206) and the students’ intentions to study/work in the ICT field in the future.The results highlight a dissonance between the growth expectations and the popularity of the ICT field among young Finns.The students’ future intentions are also strongly gendered; for about 9% of males, but only about 1% of females in secondary education are planning to apply in the ICT field in the future.The students’ ICT intentions were predicted most strongly by being a male and possessing strong technical abilities
Pengaruh Profitabilitas, Ukuran Perusahaan, Komite Audit Dan Capital Intensity Terhadap Agresivitas Pajak ( Studi Pada Perusahaan Perbankan Yang Terdaftar Di BEI Periode Tahun 2013-2017)

Tax has a very important role in building the Indonesian economy because taxes are the main source for the State of Indonesia to fund the State Budget (APBN).

The Birth of a Multinational: Innovation and Foreign Acquisitions

We model the joint decision to innovate and entry into foreign market in a continuum-time stochastic environment. We test the assumptions and predictions of the model using panel firm-level data from Spanish firms with detailed information on innovation and international activities. We find that innovation is a lumpy and disruptive process: it occurs sporadically and it is associated with a drop in technology immediately after. We incorporate this technological feature into the model and arrive to novel empirical predictions: (1) Firms that eventually become multinationals innovate more often than those that remain domestic. (2) The headquarter unit is more likely to innovate immediately after of becoming multinational, relative to firms that remain domestic and relative to established multinational firms. (3) Although in the cross-section multinational firms are more productive than domestic firms, productivity in the headquarter drops immediately after becoming multinationals. The three predictions are confirmed empirically.
The impact of advertising share of voice on the idiosyncratic risk of the firm

Integrating literature in marketing, finance and accounting, this study examines the impact of a firms’ advertising share of voice (ASOV) on investors’ uncertainty about its future financial performance, i.e., firms’ idiosyncratic risk. Drawing on signaling theory, authors propose that ASOV serves as a signal for investors such that higher ASOV reduces idiosyncratic risk. Consistent with this argument, analysis of 2,777 publicly listed firms over a two-decade period (1995-2014) shows that ASOV has a significant negative effect on idiosyncratic risk. In addition, consistent with the argument that ASOV is a more credible signal when firms have higher cash flows; authors find that the negative impact of ASOV on idiosyncratic risk is stronger for firms with higher cash flows. Similarly, results support arguments that ASOV is a more appropriate signal for firms that have low quality disclosures and are in industries that are more competitive. Taken together, this study identifies specific conditions under which senior managers and financial analysts can expect ASOV to be a valuable marketing instrument to lower a firms’ idiosyncratic risk.
Linking Organizational Commitment and Work Engagement to Employee Performance

The need for a strong organizational commitment and a high work engagement have been frequently labelled by organization as critical success factors to achieve higher performance. But are they in fact related to employee performance? And if so, do they have the same strength and intensity as performance predictors? In this study, we used a Work Engagement Scale, commitment scale and employee performance measured through an almost real performance measure, where employees were asked to indicate the latest year's performance appraisal rating reported by their manager. Data analysed (N = 274 workers) first confirmed the existence of a positive relation between performance and effective commitment, normative commitment and work engagement with engagement showing a stronger association. Second, only work engagement was relevant to explain employee performance because commitment did not present significant predictor strength. An important implication of this study is that employers should assume the relevance of developing adequate and challenging work conditions, human resources practices and atmosphere so that employees can increase their passion for the work they are doing. Company leaders should self-address some related questions raised from this study: are some employees in the company engaged with their work but not committed to the organization? Committed to stay with the company but not engaged with their work? Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Are Foreigners the Vectors of Contagion? A Study of Seven Emerging Markets

We investigate the role of Foreigners, local Institutions and local individuals in days of Contagion in a set of seven emerging markets from 2007 to 2016. We propose and use a simple measure of the degree of Contagion based on the probability of a coincidence of daily negative returns in both the S&P500 and the local index, in excess of what is explained by fundamentals. Using a VAR setting, we find that Foreigners net sales induce Contagion, and that they keep selling after Contagion days, acting as the transmitters of large price drops from US to the seven emerging markets. Local Institutions are also net sellers in Contagion days, but they become net buyers in the following days, along with individuals.
Market Power in Hospital Markets and Selection in Health Insurance Markets : Marktmacht in ziekenhuismarkten en selectie in zorgverzekeringsmarkten

markdownabstractIn many countries, market mechanisms are used to generate incentives for efficiency in health care markets. However, markets may suffer from market failures, resulting in an inefficient use of resources. A potentially important source of market failure in health care is insufficient competition between health care providers. In that case, health insurers are not able to bargain effectively with providers. Another potential source of market failure is that health insurance markets can by affected by selection problems and information frictions. Adverse selection can induce insurers to offer health plans with the goal to encourage self-selection by healthy individuals. Furthermore, information frictions may hamper optimal consumer choice in health insurance markets. This thesis examines empirically these market failures in the context of the Dutch health care system. It focuses on (i) market power in the provider market and (ii) selection and inertia in the insurance market.

The Role of Indonesian Human Resources in Developing MSMEs Facing the Industrial Revolution 4.0

This study aims to determine the role of Indonesian HR in increasing MSMEs facing the 4.0 industrial revolution. The research method used is a qualitative method with an analytical and explorative descriptive approach. From the results of the research conducted, it was found that the quality of human resources in the Dzul Collection bag industry was less supportive for developing the industry due to the low level of education and lack of innovation to produce quality products. To improve the quality of human resources, effective and efficient steps are needed through sharing knowledge and exchanging knowledge among fellow employees and training. Through these activities, it is expected that the development of this industrial business can be realized, especially in the face of free markets and global economic competition.
EXPLORING COMPENSATION SATISFACTION TO ENHANCE MOTIVATION AND REDUCE TURNOVER INTENTION AMONG EMPLOYEE OF PRIVATE BOTTLED WATER COMPANY IN INDONESIA

The bottled water industry faces rapid development. This expansion increases the business competition between companies. One of important aspect to win the competition is to have the right resources. Human resources have long been known as important factor in organization. They need to have and enhance their human capital if they want to have competitive advantage which is hard to compete. Therefore, every business organization should maintain their outstanding employees. This study aims to identify the efforts of private organizations in retaining employees by analysing the role of compensation satisfaction and motivation. This study uses quantitative method with bootstrapping approach. The questionnaire was distributed to 200 employees and gets 133 usable responses with response rate of 66.5%. Using mediation analysis the study found motivation did not mediate the relation between compensation satisfaction and turnover intention. Compensation had direct effect on turnover intention which means the organization must put their thoughts on how to manage compensation program. Though better compensation could lead to higher work motivation, it turn out that motivated employee tends to search the opportunity outside the organization. Other important thing is that the human resources should start identifying why motivated employees want to leave the organization.
Investing with cryptocurrencies – evaluating their potential for portfolio allocation strategies

Cryptocurrencies (CCs) have risen rapidly in market capitalization over the past years. Despite striking volatility, their high average returns and low correlations have established CCs as alternative investment assets for portfolio and risk management. We investigate the benefits of adding CCs to well-diversified portfolios of conventional financial assets for different types of investors, including risk-averse, return-maximizing and diversification-seeking investors who may trade at different frequencies, namely, daily, weekly or monthly. We calculate out-of-sample performance and diversification benefits for the most popular portfolio-construction rules, including mean-variance optimization, risk-parity, and maximum-diversification strategies, as well as combined strategies. Our results demonstrate that CCs can improve the risk-return profile of portfolios, but their benefit depends on investor objectives. In particular, diversification strategies (maximizing the portfolio diversification index or equating risk contributions) draw appreciably on CCs and show, in line with spanning tests, CCs to be non-redundant extensions of the investment universe. However, when we introduce liquidity constraints via the LIBRO method to account for illiquidity of many CCs, out-of-sample performance drops considerably, while the diversification benefits persist. We conclude that the utility of CC investments strongly depends on investor characteristics.

How to cope with the global value chain: lessons from Italian automotive suppliers

In the past 20 years the automotive industry has been subject to fundamental changes, resulting in deverticalisation and dispersion of production across different regions. The structural changes strongly impacted on supplier firms localised in Turin (Italy), a hub and spoke district, featuring a wide supply chain polarised around Fiat Group, the lead company. Our case study examines the strategies implemented in the period 2000-2005 by a group of 13 selected suppliers, located in Turin area, to successfully participate to the global value chain. Our findings show that companies are pursuing a 'high road development strategy', based on client portfolio diversification, product and process innovation, cumulative internationalisation. More in general, future prospects for the local firms to survive international competitive pressures seem crucially depending on continuous learning and innovative firms' activities.
Determinants of Well-being for Developing and Developed Countries and their Role in Policy-making: A Panel Data Analysis

The gross domestic product has been the traditional indicator used to measure economic growth, with almost every country having national policies that are growth-centric in nature. Underlying this practice is the assumption that higher income levels precede higher levels of utility, or well-being. However, the Easterlin paradox discovered by Easterlin in the 1970s contradicts this economic assumption and has subsequently ignited interest in the study of subjective well-being and its determinants. Using the countries’ responses to the life satisfaction question in the World Values Survey as the measure of subjective well-being over a period of time, this study utilises panel data techniques to identify the key determinants of life satisfaction for developing and developed countries. The study also determines the relative importance of these key determinants for the two groups of countries. The findings of this study show that the determinants of life satisfaction differ across developed and developing countries, with religiosity being the only common determinant. The policy implications of these findings are discussed.
How Elastic is the Demand for Tax Havens? Evidence from the Us Possessions Corporations Tax Credit

Why do some firms adopt certain tax havens, and how sensitive is the demand for tax havens? We address these questions by studying how the repeal of section 936 tax credits affected firms with affiliates in Puerto Rico. We first describe the characteristics of US multinationals that were exposed to section 936. We then show that the market value of exposed firms decreased after losing access to section 936, implying that firms could not perfectly substitute to other tax havens. Finally, we find that firms exposed to section 936 did not respond by expanding their network of tax havens.
