Authors: A. Musa Maizatul , E. Ismaila Shahril
Published: January 2023

The shareholders have changed their approach with regards to the monitoring of their investments nowadays. They have become more involved with the companies in their investment portfolios. Perturbed by many corporate scandals, the shareholders are now adopting responsible investing as their common investment approach. Thus, this has made shareholder activism on the rise. This phenomenon has attracted many corporate governance scholars and policy makers. Through relational investing method, such as private meetings and negotiations shareholder activism flourishes. Shareholder activism is purported as one of the corporate governance issues that the management and the board of directors have to seriously take into consideration while implementing corporate governance practices in their establishments. Based on the shareholder activism literature review, the essential components are identified, thus, the suggested factors are integrated into shareholder activism overall process of shareholder activism in order to gain its effectiveness. Shareholder activism will be more effective if the two parties involved in the process aware of their corporate governance roles and the roles are being assimilated into the suggested model. The factors have been identified in the corporate governance literature, specifically on shareholder activism and the conceptual process model has been developed to model the interactions of the all the factors during shareholder activism takes place. The action in the process is an integral of determining the success of shareholder activism in influencing the behaviour of the targeted companies. This paper suggests the use of external consultants and the right channel and follow-ups as additional factors to the process model in ensuring the effectiveness of shareholder activism.

Published: January 2023

Capital is essential for businesses to sustain and grow. Sources of capital can be in many forms; it includes own saving, borrowed from a relative, seeking the financial assistance from the financial market and selling a share to the investor through the capital market. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the contribution of Islamic financing towards the production of halal products, which used the example of the livestock industry in Malaysia. Data on Islamic funding are obtained from 2009 until 2015 of the 16 Islamic commercial banks and the Agro bank of Malaysia as the representative for the development of financial institutions. The analysis of this study used the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach for the cointegration test between Islamic financing and the halal production. We observed that Islamic financing sources have a significantly positive influence on the growth of halal livestock production in the long-run. This indicates that sources of financing could help with the growth of the halal industry, especially in the livestock sector for Malaysia's case. The result of the short-run was contrary to the long term. It shows an insignificant relationship between these two industries.

Authors: Cheah Yong Kang , Abdul Adzis Azira , Abu Bakar Juhaida , Applanaidu Shri Dewi
Published: January 2023

The present study attempts to examine factors affecting household expenditure on sugar-added foods and beverages (SAFB) in Malaysia. The spike in sugar-related diseases and the lack of comprehensive study related to factors associated with consumption of added sugar in Malaysia are the motivations for the present study. Acquiring a better understanding of what kind people consume more or less SAFB is important for policy development. A nationally representative data with a large sample size, i.e., the Malaysian Household Expenditure Survey (HES) 2014, was used for secondary analysis. In the survey, a two-stage stratified sampling approach was adopted. The first stage was based on Enumeration Blocks (EBs), while the second stage was based on living quarters (LQs). Quantile regressions were utilised to analyse the effects of household heads’ demographic and household factors on quantiles of household expenditure on SAFB. On average, the monthly household income, age of household head and expenditure on tobacco were Ringgit Malaysia (RM) 5973.63, 46 years and RM 60.81, respectively. The majority of household heads were secondary educated (57%), Bumiputera (69%), males (85%), employed (93%) and married (80%). Education, age, ethnicity, employment status, marital status and smoking behaviour were associated with expenditure on SAFB. Households headed by individuals with no formal and primary-level education spent around RM 1.02-24.6 and RM 0.73-23.68 less on all the quantiles of SAFB, respectively, compared with households headed by individuals having tertiary-level education. An additional year of age of household heads increased all the quantiles of household expenditure on SAFB by RM 0.11-0.90. Compared to non-Bumiputera households, Bumiputera households spent approximately RM 1.02-2.53 more on 0.1-0.75 quantiles of SAFB. Households with employed and married heads spent about RM 1.11-9.16 and RM 1.28-6.41 more on all the quantiles of SAFB, respectively, than their counterparts with unemployed and single heads. Household expenditure on tobacco was positively associated with 0.25-0.9 quantiles of household expenditure on SAFB (RM 0.28-1.23). In conclusion, household heads’ demographic and household profiles played an important role in influencing quantiles of expenditure on SAFB. Therefore, as a nationwide policy towards reducing consumption of added sugar, intervention measures should be designed in light of these profiles.

Authors: Tamil Selvam Puvannambehay A/P , Noor Zainab Tunggal
Published: January 2023

The shock of the global COVID-19 pandemic is critical even compared to the great financial crisis of 2007–2008 (Sansa, 2020). This study emphasises the performances of equity unit trust funds and fixed income unit trust funds during the COVID-19 pandemic, applying daily data from January 2020 to June 2020. A total of 32 unit trust funds are selected for the study, consisting of 16 fixed income funds and 16 equity funds. The performance of the unit trust funds is examined by using the Sharpe ratio measure, Treynor ratio measure, and Jensen’s alpha measure to analyse the impact of COVID-19 on the funds. The findings of this research suggest a mixed result of performance, where some funds outperformed the market benchmark while others underperformed it. For the fixed income unit trust funds, both the average standard deviation and average beta underperformed the benchmark index. On the contrary, the total risk of equity funds is higher than the market benchmark, while systematic risk is lower than the market benchmark. Besides, based on the results of Jensen’s alpha, only a few unit trust funds have a positive alpha, implying that some of the fund managers are either good in market timing or in selecting unit trust funds. Investors and fund managers can benefit from this study when making decisions to enhance their portfolios’ performances during the crucial period. This study will also provide a general outlook on the behaviour and performance of unit trust funds in Malaysia during the selected period of the COVID-19 crisis.

Published: January 2023

Brand loyalty is critical for a business to remain relevant in the market. Within the context of luxury sustainable practises, business has committed to sustainable business practises through its luxury brands, sending a strong message to the community about their commitment to the environment and community development. We are attempting to determine the factors that influence brand identification and loyalty in order to complete this research. The study's research objectives were accomplished through the use of an area sampling survey model in several major cities throughout Malaysia. The data were analysed using a structural equation model with partial least squares (PLS-SEM). Three dimensions of personal value, namely environmental consciousness, health consciousness, and appearance consciousness, as well as identification with a brand, were discovered to be significant predictors of consumer brand loyalty. The outcome provides practical advice that the Malaysian cosmetics industry can implement. The marketer's role will be to not only reinforce the brand's established positive perception, but also to forge a strong consumer-brand relationship. Additional research is required to address the study's limitations and to add to the body of knowledge on this subject.

Published: January 2023

ASEAN’s move to regionalise local enterprises has spurred outward foreign direct investment (FDI) flows as well as enabled sustained economic growth for ASEAN member states over the last two decades. This study examines the impact of outward FDI on economic growth in ASEAN-8 countries from 2000-2019. It employs the Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimation approach to evaluate the effects of outward FDI on national economic growth. The findings indicate that outward FDI is positively and statistically significant in fostering economic growth in the ASEAN region over the short-run. However, such outward investments negatively impact the region’s economic growth over the long-run. The results indicate that regional policy makers need to adopt a flexible approach when formulating policy initiatives that incentivise outward FDI to ensure the continued sustenance of economic growth in the ASEAN region.

Price discrimination and market power in the international fertiliser market: empirical evidence for exports from Russia
Authors: Goretzki Philipp , Perekhozhuk Oleksandr , Glauben Thomas , Loy Jens-Peter
Published: January 2023

Purpose. In 2012, Russia became the world’s second-largest exporter increasing its potash exports from 1996 to 2012 more than two times. The top five countries control more than 50 % of the world’s exports, particularly 53.4 % (38.0 mln MT) for nitrogen, 73.4 % (3.5 mln MT) for phosphate and 90.8 % (35.5 mln MT) for potash. The objective of this study is to analyse the market structure and market concentration of the Russian export company in the international fertiliser market, and to develop hypotheses about the oligopolistic market behaviour. The empirical part of this study tests the hypotheses by employing econometric models to provide evidence for market power and price discrimination in the international fertiliser market.

Methodology / approach. The empirical analysis in this study relies on the theoretical framework of pricing-to-market (PTM) pioneered by Krugman (1986, 1987). Following Krugman’s groundbreaking approach, Knetter (1989) developed an empirical model testing the PTM hypothesis. The major advantages of the Knetter’s model are that the pricing behaviour of the export country towards the import countries can be estimated with public statistical data for the export statistics of the export country and bilateral exchange rates between the currencies of the export and import countries.

Results. This study presents empirical evidence for the behaviour of Russian exporters in the international fertiliser market. The estimation results indicate that market power in the export market for nitrogen fertilisers is exercised by Russian exporters in more than two-thirds of the destination countries and in the export market for potash fertilisers in eight out of nine countries. The exercising market power in the export market for potash fertilisers is much more pronounced than in the nitrogen fertiliser export market.

Originality / scientific novelty. Primarily against the background of increased market concentration by the companies in the fertiliser markets and regarding the aforementioned cartel dispute, this study constitutes a first attempt to close the research gap in the empirical literature and to promote empirical research on the market behaviour of export companies in the international markets for nitrogen and potash fertilisers.

Practical value / implications. This study uses econometric techniques to examine the collapse of the potash cartel on the use of price discrimination and the exercising of market power in the international fertiliser market by Russia. The descriptive analysis shows that Russia plays an important role in the export of nitrogen and potash on the world market and many importing destinations. Often Russia in addition to the high market share also has no or few competitors in the various destinations, which supports speculation of exercising market power.
