The Impact

State Capital and Investment Corporation (SCIC) is a sovereign wealth fund (SWF) operating as a governmental specialized economic entity. SCIC serves two main functions: first, manage and represent the equity share of state at public companies, limited companies, and second, invest state capital into strategic industries and fields of the economy. This study compares the impacts of the ownership of SCIC and the state on the performance of target firms in Vietnam. In addition, the current study aims to extend the extant literature by examining the impact of sovereign wealth fund (SWF, in this case, SCIC in Vietnam) on the performance of target firms in Vietnam. Previous studies only consider the influence of SWF on target firms’ operating performance without considering the country where the target firms reside. Finally, the research investigates the influence of the ownership of SCIC and the state not only on financial but also on the non-financial performance of target firms, whereas previous research chiefly discusses the financial impact of SWFs. The author uses the Generalized System Method of Moments for a sample of listed firms collected from Thomson Reuters for the period of 2008-2017 to deal with the potential endogeneity issue as well as other defects such as heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation. The results show that SCIC ownership has a positive impact on target firms’ financial performance, compared to state ownership. However, SCIC ownership exerts a more negative impact on target firms’ non-financial performance, compared to state one. This finding implies that SCIC may prioritize financial indicators over non-financial (or social) ones. This could justify the reason why SCIC ownership has a better financial but lower non-financial performance compared with state ownership.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of financial performance, financial risk, liquidity, and corporate governance (CG) on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1. The proxy for financial performance, financial risk, liquidity, and corporate governance is respectively return on equity (ROE), debt to assets ratio (DAR), current ratio (CR), and corporate governance perception index (CGPI). The proxy for corporate value is price to book value (PBV). The method for analysis data is multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that financial performance has positive impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 on one percent level of significance. However, financial risk and liquidity have positive impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 but the impact is not statistically significant. CG shows different impact on the corporate value in the period t0 and t+1 in which it indicates negative impact in the period t0 but positive impact in the periode t+1. The impacts are however statistically insignificant. Generally, the results indicate that financial performance is the main factor that increases corporate value.

The Impact

This study aims to: (1) investigate the amount of corporate social and environmental responsibility (CSR) spending, awards, and activities of listed companies in the Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) and in the Market for Alternative Investment (MAI); (2) test the impact of CSR spending, awards, and financial performance activities; and (3) examine the amount of CSR spending, awards, and activities between companies with and without a CSR committee. The sample included all the listed companies in the resource industry from the SET and the MAI. The data were collected from the companies’ annual reports from 2015 to 2019. Descriptive analysis, an independent-sample t-test, a correlation matrix, and an unbalanced panel data analysis were used to analyze the data. The average level of spending per activity was 2.2964 million baht. There were, on average, 2.1741 awards and 11.4178 activities during the studied period. Moreover, there was a significant negative impact of CSR spending, and a positive impact of CSR awards and activities, on corporate financial performance. Finally, there was a significantly different amount of CSR spending, awards, and activities between the companies with and without a CSR committee. The findings of this study demonstrate that legitimacy theory can be used to explain the benefit of CSR to Thai-listed companies, although CSR is still a voluntary corporate responsibility in Thailand.

Background Corruption affects businesses in various ways. Anti-corruption, on the other hand, can improve the institutions of the country as well as business operations. Vietnam, as a socialist-oriented country with an ongoing high-profile anti-corruption campaign, provides us a unique setting to evaluate the impacts of anti-corruption on corporate performance. Objectives We address two questions: (1) what is the effect of anti-corruption on the performance of private-owned firms in Vietnam? and (2) how does anti-corruption influence the performance of firms with state ownership (FSOs) in Vietnam? Research design To investigate the impact of anti-corruption on performance of firms with different ownership settings, we use the establishment of the Central Anti-Corruption Steering Committee of Vietnam as a quasi-natural experiment for difference-in-differences analysis. We generate treatment effects of private holding and the state block ownership. To validate the findings, we construct a novel news-based anti-corruption index from Vietnamese online newspapers and use it in a robustness test to evaluate anti-corruption’s impacts on firm performance. Results and Conclusions We find a positive impact of the anti-corruption campaign on private firms’ performance, supporting the social norm perspective of how corruption affects businesses. The empirical results indicate a negative impact of the campaign on FSOs’ performance. The findings suggest that anti-corruption benefits private firms via improving the institutional quality of the country while improving the financial transparency of FSOs. Our study provides a method for measuring anti-corruption which is virtually unobservable and absent in the literature. The findings have implications for policymaking in contemporary Vietnam.

The Impact

This study examines the impact of female directors on the financial performance of family and non-family Jordanian firms. A sample of 103 Jordanian public firms listed on Amman Stock Exchange for the time period 2009-2015 was selected. The study had a quantitative approach and used a panel data methodology. The data analysis was conducted using Ordinary Least Square Regression. ROA and Tobin’s Q were deployed as measurement of financial performance. The appointment of female directors does not have any significant impact on the financial performance of family firms. However, with regard to non-family firms, female directors appeared to have a negative impact on the performance of these firms. The impact of female directors on family firm performance merits further research in the context of different countries and cultures. Appointments based on qualifications and expertise is more likely to have a positive impact. Jordan is an under-researched area where the impact of female directors on the firm performance would merit further research. Differentiating between the impact of female directors on family and non-family firms would also merit further research, especially in the context of the conditions under which they are appointed.

The Impact

This research examines the impact of the ownership structure on corporate diversification decision of listed firms in Vietnam over the period of 2007 and 2012. The empirical results from logit model show that while state ownership has positive impact on corporate diversification decisions of the firms, foreign ownership has negative impact on corporate diversification decision of the firms. This implies that government ownership tends to encourage corporate diversification strategy, while foreign ownership may plays monitoring role and discourage corporate diversification strategy in emerging market context.

The Impact

This paper looks at the impact of level of working capital on a firm’s financial performance of 153 large manufacturing firms operating in the six Gulf Cooperation Council Countries (GCC).Three hypotheses being tested in the paper are that working capital levels and inventory levels have a negative impact on corporate financial performance, have a positive impact on corporate financial performance, or that there is no empirically provable relationship between working capital and inventory and financial performance. A number of control variables including firm size, gross margins, and age of the firm are used in the regression analysis, as financial performance is not purely dependent on working capital and inventory levels. Pre-tax return on assets (ROA-profit before tax divided by total assets) is used to measure corporate financial performance. Performance is strongly influenced by levels of accounts receivables; however inventory levels and payables have no impact on performance.

Control Of Corruption

A fragile state contributes to the underdevelopment of the nation and its consequences can be very devastating on the state’s cohesion, characterized by a high level of corruption which led the country to an incessant political instability and the continuous presence of foreign troops. 1 This article used the vector autoregresssion (VAR) model covering the period of 2005–2015 to examine the impact of control of corruption on the fragility of the state in the Central African Republic (CAR). The results show that control of corruption is significant and has a negative impact on the fragility of the state in the short run. The impulse response shows a negative impact of control of corruption in the short run but a positive impact in the long run on the fragility of the state. The policy implications of this fragility are that the CAR must pursue better governance as well as in the investment choices. Unless the CAR leaders and citizens recognize their own fragility, things can only get worse.
