Portfolio Preferences Across Markets: Evidence from Mutual Fund Ownership
Authors: Chou Wen-Hsiu
Published: August 2020

This paper is about evaluating and comparing the portfolio preferences of domestic and foreign mutual funds in developed and emerging markets over the period 1998-2007. We find that foreign and domestic mutual funds have some different preferences toward firm characteristics and firm’s information enviroments, and economic development affects the preferences for both types of funds. A country’s characteristics and institutions also influence mutual fund investment decisions when fund managers from their portfolio holdings. Results further show that foreign and domestic mutual funds play a monitoring role in their portfolio firms, but foreign mutual funds cannot monitor firms effectively in emerging markets.
Financial Instability, Uncertainty and Bank Lending Behavior
Authors: Swamy Vigneshwara , Sreejesh S.
Published: August 2020

“Why do banks squeeze their lending activity” is an oft-repeated question during the times of financial crisis. This study examines an emerging economy’s banking system, and contributes to the evolving body of literature on the topic by providing answers to what causes the sluggish bank credit during times of recession. By employing cointegration technique, the study shows that bank credit has a significant positive relationship with the borrowing activities of debt users of the banks, hence, as the contrary an inverse relationship with investment activity is evident during financial crisis. Accordingly, we suggest that banks could increase their lending by increasing the borrowings rapidly either from the Central Banks or from Government supported long term lending institutions during recessionary periods.

Authors: Tsagem Musa Muhammad , Aripin Norhani , Ishak Rokiah
Published: August 2020

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cash conversion cycle and firm performance of small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) in Nigeria. SMEs are potentials for Nigerian economy growth; contributing to gross domestic product, employment generation, poverty reduction and industrialization. The study employed the panel data regression analysis using financial data from a sample of 311 Nigerian SMEs for the period 2007-2013. The findings of the study revealed a negative association between cash conversion cycle, inventory holding period and accounts payable period with SMEs profitability; and a statistically significant negative relationship between accounts receivable period and SMEs’ profitability. The findings also found a significant positive relationship between firm size, leverage, growth opportunities and firm age and SMEs’ profitability. Thus, the result of the study indicates that Nigerian SMEs with a shorter cash conversion cycle and low growth opportunities hold more cash. This study contributes to existing literature on the relationship between cash conversion cycle and SMEs’ profitability in developing economies. However, this study is limited to non-financial and non-service SMEs.
Mutual Fund Performance and the Impact of Superannuation and Financial Regulation
Authors: Cooper James M. , Gregory-Allen Russell
Published: August 2020

Financial innovation such as a new superannuation scheme can allow for broader participation in retirement savings by individuals, but might also impact existing investments. On the other hand, mutual fund regulation involves a balancing act between protecting investors, and allowing fund managers to exercise their skills. Some recent changes in the fund environment of New Zealand allows an examination of the impact on performance from those changes in a small, open economy. Using a sample of New Zealand mutual funds, we compared performance before and after the introduction of two significant changes in the financial environment of New Zealand. In 2007, a state-sponsored investment scheme called KiwiSaver was introduced, providing significant incentives for more and more New Zealanders to save. Participation was substantial, and by 2015 KiwiSaver funds under management had exceeded traditional open-end funds. At the time of KiwiSaver’s introduction, mutual fund regulations was quite lax, particularly in the area of financial disclosure. However, in 2013 a new law was introduced, substantially increasing the disclosure requirements for those funds participating in the KiwiSaver scheme. First we examined, the impact on the New Zealand mutual fund industry upon the introduction of KiwiSaver, and then on the introduction of the increased KiwiSaver regulations, in order to determine if these harmed the overall New Zealand mutual fund industry. We found that the New Zealand mutual funds which focused on New Zealand or Australian equities experienced some negative performance after the introduction of KiwiSaver, but the impact on the overall industry was not significant. We also found that the increased regulations had some positive impact on performance, particularly for those funds emphasising global equities.

Published: August 2020

The purpose of this study is to investigate and validate the determinants of profit margins and pricing practices of Islamic banking institutions in Malaysia. The key determinants and pricing approaches were extracted using a verbal protocol followed by probing of respondents. Focus group interviews were conducted with Islamic banking experts from Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad, CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad, Bank Islam Malaysia Berhad and  Maybank Islamic Berhad. Preliminary analysis suggested some distinct outcomes in the identification of determinants and practices in pricing and bank margins for future research. This study has provided important insights for Islamic banks to improve their bank margins and profit by considering significant variables affecting profitability. Generally, the themes which emerged from the interviews concurred with findings from literature. However, the determinants that have yet to be captured in the literature are marketing strategies which include product risk, financing terms and conditions; and discretionary power. Awareness of Islamic banking products and cost of fund strategies are other important determinants of bank margins and profitability. This paper also has the potential to enhance bank margin determinants, concept, theory and practice.
Standardization of Trading Board Lot: Effect on Price and Liquidity
Authors: Ibrahim Nor Elliany Hawa , Taufil Mohd Kamarun Nisham , Khaw Karren Lee-Hwei
Published: August 2020

In this study we examined the announcement and implementation effect of the standardization of trading board lot event at the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, which saw a reduction of the minimum trading unit from 1000 or 200 units to 100 units. The event was implemented in three stages, which affected all listed firms. Our findings showed that there were positive cumulative abnormal returns surrounding implementation days, indicating positive market reception of the new policy. The Securities Commission of Malaysia stated that the trading activities had increased significantly after implementation of the standard trading board lot. Regardless, this claim has never been verified from an academic perspective, which spurred us to compare its effects on liquidity in the pre- and post-standardization period. Our univariate tests showed that as a whole, the lot size reduction improved bid-ask spread and trading activities of stocks in Malaysia.
Decision to pay dividends and ownership structures in Nigeria
Authors: Adamu Adamu Idris , Ishak Rokiah , Hassan Nor Laili
Published: August 2020

Empirical evidence on how ownership structures influence decision to pay dividends remain unclear in the dividend policy literature. This paper is set to investigate the association between ownership structures and decision to pay dividends. The sample firms of this study consist of non-financial firms listed on the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period 2011 to 2015 with 270 firm-year observations and logit regression models used to examine the relationship. The study revealed strong evidence that institutional investors were positively related to the decision to pay dividends. However, managerial shareholding was found to have an inverse effect on firms’ probability to pay dividends. Additional analysis was carried out only on dividend payers and the results were also consistent with the hypothesis. Despite this, the managerial investors were somehow weak when the sample was reduced to dividend payers. Cumulatively, the results are robust and show support of the agency theory and hence, imply that institutional investors in Nigeria have preference for dividend payers.
Determinants of Capital Structure for Malaysian Shariah-Compliant Firms: The Impact of Revised Screening Methodology
Authors: Rahim Norfhadzilahwati , Mat Nor Fauzias , Ramli Nurainna , Marzuki Ainulashikin
Published: August 2020

This study investigates two main objectives. Firstly, the determinants of capital structure were examined for each sector among Malaysian Shariah-compliant firms, and whether the inclusion of Islamic debt (leverage 1 and leverage 2) has led to different results due to changes in the screening methodology. Secondly, this paper analyzes the target Capital Structure and Speed of Adjustment for both before and after the Revised Screening Methodology. This study employs panel data analysis by using generalized method of moment (GMM). The sample consists of 192 Shariah-compliant companies in Malaysia during the period of 1999 to 2017. The results demonstrated that the firm has target capital structure and identified specific determinants that have affected the capital structure of Shariah-compliant firms in Malaysia. Moreover, the findings have also revealed certain implications toward large firms. Large firms tend to generate more income and profit, however at the same time, these firms require more debt to support investment activities. Hence, with regards to profitability, this study identified a negative relationship between profitability and leverage for Shariah-compliant firms for all sectors. Shariah-compliant firms with high profitability will use a lower leverage in their financial activities. Thus, the results strongly support the pecking order theory. Other than that, this study found that the lagged dependent variable (lagged leverage 1 and leverage 2) presented a positive significance, and concluded that the speed of adjustment takes approximately 2 years. This suggests that the Shariah-compliant firms close approximately by 30% to 70% of the gap between current and target capital structure within one and two years. Furthermore, the findings on the target leverage level imply that after the revised screening methodology was introduced in November 2013, the speed of adjustment became faster than before the implementation of the new screening methodology. Thus, it is important for management to maintain the target leverage during financial decision making, which in turn strengthens the firm’s Shariah-compliant financial stability and sustainability, and continue to remain listed as Shariah-compliant securities. This paper provides an overview of capital structure behaviour in Malaysia.
LEVERAGE AND IPO PRICING: EVIDENCE FROM MALAYSIA
Authors: Ong Chui Zi , Mohd-Rashid Rasidah , Taufil-Mohd Kamarun Nisham
Published: August 2020

The pricing of IPOs is a challenging task among underwriters as they require resources from firms. Contrary to the non-financial information presented in a prospectus to set an offer rice, pre-IPO accounting information could arguably influence IPO offer price. This study aims to investigate the relationship between leverage and IPO offer price. A crosssectional Ordinary Least Square (OLS) regression was implemented to investigate the relationship between leverage and offer price based on a sample of 129 Malaysian IPOs issued between January 2009 and December 2018. As a result, it was proven that leverage was negatively related to offer prices. Accordingly, it was proposed in the findings that fit, which issued higher leverages prior to IPO listing, often posed high financial risks. Subsequently, underwriters and issuers set a lower price for IPOs to compensate for a higher degree of information asymmetry among retail investors. Among the implications of this study’s findings include investor concerns on accounting information, especially leverage upon determining IPO value and IPO investment.
COMPARISON OF THE PASS-THROUGH SPEED MODELS OF DIFFERENT MARKETS: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY OF THE MARKETS OF MAINLAND CHINA AND TAIWAN
Authors: Ho Chi Ming , Lin Wu Yih
Published: August 2020

This paper adopted the Boone Indicator, developed by Boone et al. (2008) and Van Leuvensteijn et al. (2011; 2013), to investigate the influence of different pass-through spread models in the competition among banks in emerging markets. With the market share of banks as a dependent variable and marginal cost as an independent variable, this paper probed into the competition among banks regarding the loan market to determine whether competition on the loan interest rates of banks affected the pass-through of monetary policy-related interest rates. After analyzing approximately 5,657 entries of records of the banking industries in Taiwan and mainland China, this paper reached three significant conclusions: 1) the Boone Indicator Model pointed out that, competition in the banking market of mainland China was more intense than that of Taiwan; 2) empirical research based on the Interest Rate Spread Model indicated that the spread of mainland China was lower than that of Taiwan; 3) the Passthrough Speed Model implied that, the interest rate sensitivity of the market of mainland China was higher than that of the Taiwan market. The above results indicate that the influence of monetary policy pass-through on the interest rate of the market in mainland China is faster than in Taiwan.
BOARD SIZE DETERMINANTS: EVIDENCE FROM NIGERIA
Authors: Badru Bazeet Olayemi , Davies Nordiana Osagie , Abdulkadir Rihanat Idowu
Published: August 2020

This paper seeks to investigate the determinants of board size for Nigerian companies. To accomplish the aim of the study, a panel data set of public listed companies in Nigeria from 2005 to 2015 was employed. The results showed that the most common board size of Nigerian companies ranged from four to 18 members. Specifically, the findings indicated that board size was a function of company and industry characteristics. A significant and positive association was found between company size and board size, while CEO ownership and ownership concentration were negative. The results lend support to theoretical arguments that a company’s board structure is determined by the scope of company operations and monitoring costs associated with the company. Since company-specific characteristics determine board size, the impact of board size on corporate outcomes may differ based on these characteristics. Therefore, it would be helpful if future studies could consider the interactive effect of company characteristics when investigating the impact of board size on corporate outcomes.

Jamur Peronosclerospora spp. penyebab bulai merupakan salah satu kendala dalam kegiatan budidaya tanaman jagung di Indonesia. Kerusakan yang disebabkan oleh jamur Peronosclerospora spp. dapat mencapai 90-100% terutama pada varietas rentan. Kondisi lingkungan abiotik seperti suhu rendah dan kelembaban tinggi disertai adanya lapisan air pada permukaan daun dapat meningkatkan keterjadian penyakit. Teknik pengelolaan penyakit masih didominasi dengan aplikasi fungisida sintetis yang memiliki beberapa dampak negatif, seperti mematikan organisme non target, meningkatkan resistensi patogen serta pencemaran lingkungan. Akan tetapi, dampak tersebut dapat diminimalisir melalui kegiatan monitoring yang berperan sebagai kunci utama program pengelolaan penyakit terpadu. Kegiatan monitoring memudahkan proses analisis epidemiologi melalui pendekatan model matematika sehingga dapat diketahui pola perkembangan penyakit tanaman dan laju infeksinya sebagai dasar dalam menyusun strategi pengelolaan penyakit. Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan penelitian mengenai model perkembangan penyakit bulai berdasarkan perbedaan varietas tanaman jagung dalam rangka mengevaluasi ketahanan tanaman jagung di Kabupaten Mojokerto. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan model yang mampu mewakili perkembangan penyakit bulai di Mojokerto adalah monit. Laju infeksi tertinggi dimiliki pada lahan yang menggunakan varietas P35 daripada lahan lain yang menggunakan varietas NK 6172.

Aims: To produce a yogurt with the addition of beet and unripe banana flours in order to add nutritional value and make this drink a functional food, since the supply of vitamins, minerals, and fibers can help in the prevention of non-transmissible chronic diseases (NTCDs). Methods: Microbiological, physicochemical, and sensory analyses were performed to certify its innocuousness to health, nutritional improvement, and acceptance by consumers, respectively. Results: The yogurt containing 4% of each flour presented coliforms at 45ºC within the maximum values established by the current legislation, as well as increased nutritional value, with emphasis on a 21% increase in proteins and 133% in minerals. It also had a decrease in moisture content, resulting in a longer shelf-life product. Three yogurt formulations (4%, 3%, and 2%) were prepared for the sensory analysis, which showed a preference for the formulation with the lowest concentration of beet flour (p>0.05). Concerning the purchase intention, the results indicated the tasters might buy the product if it were available on the market. Conclusion: unripe banana and beet flours behaved as promising ingredients, from a functional point of view, as they enrich yogurt with antioxidant and bioactive compounds, demonstrating the potential of this new food product in preventing oxidative damage to health.

In coral reefs and adjacent seagrass meadow and mangrove environments, short temporal scales (i.e. tidal, diurnal) may have important influences on ecosystem processes and community structure, but these scales are rarely investigated. This study examines how tidal and diurnal forcings influence pelagic microorganisms and nutrient dynamics in 3 important and adjacent coastal biomes: mangroves, coral reefs, and seagrass meadows. We sampled for microbial (Bacteria and Archaea) community composition, cell abundances and environmental parameters at 9 coastal sites on St. John, US Virgin Islands that spanned 4 km in distance (4 coral reefs, 2 seagrass meadows and 3 mangrove locations within 2 larger bays). Eight samplings occurred over a 48 h period, capturing day and night microbial dynamics over 2 tidal cycles. The seagrass and reef biomes exhibited relatively consistent environmental conditions and microbial community structure but were dominated by shifts in picocyanobacterial abundances that were most likely attributed to diel dynamics. In contrast, mangrove ecosystems exhibited substantial daily shifts in environmental parameters, heterotrophic cell abundances and microbial community structure that were consistent with the tidal cycle. Differential abundance analysis of mangrove-associated microorganisms revealed enrichment of pelagic oligotrophic taxa during high tide and enrichment of putative sediment-associated microbes during low tide. Our study underpins the importance of tidal and diurnal time scales in structuring coastal microbial and nutrient dynamics, with diel and tidal cycles contributing to a highly dynamic microbial environment in mangroves, and time of day likely contributing to microbial dynamics in seagrass and reef biomes.

REPRESENTASI CITRA POLITISI PEREMPUAN DI PARLEMEN (ANALISIS FRAMING DALAM PEMBERITAAN VOAINDONESIA.COM DAN MEDIAINDONESIA.COM)
Authors: Santi Endang Tri
Published: August 2020

Representasi perempuan di panggung politik masih menjadi isu menarik dengan berbagai polemik. Kebijakan yang harus sesuai dengan cita-cita pengarusutamaan gender, kekerasan terhadap perempuan, diskriminasi dan sebagainya menjadi konsen pemerintah dengan mengeluarkan kebijakan 30% kuota perempuan untuk duduk di kursi Parlemen. Dari permasalahan tersebut, peran politisi perempuan di Parlemen yang harusnya terlihat, sehingga dapat ditelaah bagaimana sesungguhnya representasi politisi perempuan di parlemen. Melalui berbagai pemberitaan yang muncul juga dapat kita lihat apakah kemudian media masih bias gender dalam memberitakan politisi perempuan, karena sangat mempengaruhi opini yang berkembang di masyarakat, sehingga citra politisi perempuan di Parlemen dapat terukur positif atau negatif. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis framing dari Robert N. Entman di mana dalam penguraiannya menggunakan teori gender dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana representasi citra politisi perempuan di Parlemen pada pemberitaan di Voaindonesia.com dan Mediaindonesia.com. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan representasi citra politisi perempuan di Parlemen masih kurang adanya kepercayaan dari masyarakat yang disebabkan adanya ketimpangan gender, kurangnya akses, dianggap kurang konsisten, kurang pengalaman dan minim strategi. Oleh karenanya rekomendasi yang diajukan perempuan harus diberikan akses untuk mendapatkan pendidikan dan pengalaman politik untuk mengembalikan citra positif atau kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap kinerja perempuan di Parlemen. Selanjutnya peneliti berharap semoga jurnal ini dapat memberikan kontribusi bagi perkembangan keilmuan dan menjadi gambaran pihak-pihak terkait dalam upaya membangun iklim politik yang memiliki kesetaraan gender.

Detaylı toprak etüt ve haritalama çalışmalarının toprak serileri ve fazlarının belirlenip haritalanması aşaması uzmanlık gerektiren ve zaman alan bir aşamadır. Bu nedenle, çalışmada toprak özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde son yıllarda kullanılmaya başlanılan NIRS yansıma tekniğinin toprak serilerini ayırt etmede kullanılabilirliğinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çukurova Bölgesi’nde haritalanmış toprak serileri ve önemli fazlarından burgu ile horizon esasına göre alınan 531 toprak örneğine ait yansıma değerleri elde edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizler PLSR yöntemi CV (Çapraz Doğrulama) ve model tahmin yöntemi kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Çapraz doğrulama sonucu kil için tüm veri setindeki 531 toprak örneğinin yansıma değerleri ile kalibrasyon arasındaki R2 değerleri; kil için 0,47; silt için 0,44; kum için 0,36; organik madde için 0,32; kireç için 0,21 bulunmuştur. Validasyon setinde ise sırasıyla; kil R2 0.44; silt R2 0.41; kum R2 0.29, organik madde R2 0.26; kireç R2 0.18 olarak bulunmuştur. NIRS teknolojisinin, toprak serilerinin tanımlanması ve haritalanması aşamasında düşük korelasyon değerleri vermesi ve yansıma değerleri ile topraklar arasında sağlıklı ilişkiler bulunamaması nedeniyle başarısız olduğu görülmüştür.
