Authors: Hutabarat Tito Edwin Hasudungan , Sinaga Poltak , Purba JohnTampil , Widjaja Anton Wachidin 
Published: June 2023

Objective: This research is designed to propose empirical evidence on factors affecting stock selection ability and market timing ability.

Theoretical framework: Recent research found that most equity mutual funds underperform the market return due to a lack of stock selection and market timing abilities. However, rarely do they propose evidence of factors affecting the existence of these abilities

Method: There are two-panel regression models developed in this research to show evidence of factors affecting stock selection and market timing abilities. The Dumitrescu–Hurlin (DH) test is used to gain a comprehensive understanding of the causality relationship between the variables

Results and Conclusion: Based on observation of three ASEAN countries, this research proposes empirical evidence that the growth of fund size, volatility of the fund’s net asset value (NAV), and performance indicators of the underlying assets affect the stock selection ability differently in the respective countries. Similarly, the growth of fund size, volatility of the fund’s NAV, and macroeconomic indicators also affect the market timing ability differently

Implications of the research: Therefore, the implementation of investment strategies in the three observed markets considers factors affecting the existence of the two abilities, effectively generating outperforming returns.

Originality/value: Recent studies focused more on whether equity mutual funds are managed with stock selection and market timing abilities but not on factors affecting those abilities. This research proposes empirical evidence on factors affecting those abilities in different markets through econometrics analyses on panel data and the Dumitrescu–Hurlincausality test.

Authors: Qatawneh Adel Mohammed , Bader Ayman , Amayreh Khalid Thaher 
Published: June 2023

Purpose: the purpose of this study is to examine the impact of tax legislation frequency and awareness on tax disclosures in publicly held companies in Jordan and the USA.

Theoretical Framework: the study utilizes a theoretical framework that considers the transparency, tax evasion, and availability of financial resources to the companies. The research employs an analysis of peer-reviewed journals and reports to explore the interaction between these variables.

Findings: the findings reveal that frequent changes in tax legislation reduce awareness levels but have no significant effect on transparency. Companies tend to prefer minimal disclosures rather than making extensive reports. Controlled policy changes enable companies to adjust their practices and influence the availability of resources. Increased awareness of tax policies enhances corporate understanding, but its impact on transparency is limited unless there is a mandatory requirement. Higher levels of awareness also contribute to reduced corporate evasion and improved availability of financial resources.

Implications of the research: the study has implications for tax legislators, providing insights into developing more effective tax legislation that enhances disclosures.

Originality/value: It highlights the importance of considering other moderating factors that influence policy effectiveness across different countries.
