This study aims to examine the impact of the ownership structure on firm performance in the Jordan. This study employed the multiple-regression model and fixed regression effect to analyse the data. The sample included all Jordanian first market firms listed on the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE)...

Investor attracting and keeping requires both successful management of a company's financial performance and an investor's behavior knowledge, as well as monitoring of stock market current trends. This paper contains the study results on the influence of public companies' financial performance...

Patents are widely used in the literature as a measure of firm-level innovation. It is regarded that patents improve a firm's operational environment and ultimately increase the value of the firm. However, the relationship between patents and firm value in Korea is under-explored in the...

We propose a dynamic bank theory with a delayed loss recognition mechanism and a regulatory capital constraint at its core. The estimated model matches four facts about banks' Tobin's Q that summarize bank leverage dynamics. (1) Book and market equity values diverge, especially during crises;...

The aim of the paper is to reveal how corporate social performance (CSP) affects market value and earnings capabilities of companies from banking industry: Banking Services and Investment Banking & Investment Services sub-industries in particular. For Banking Services, the research was extended...

A capital influx into local housing markets would be expected to increase house prices, but the spillover effect onto rental prices is theoretically ambiguous. I estimate both price impacts in U.S. residential housing markets using data from a boom in real estate purchases by buyers from China,...

The large majority of the work published on firm investment is done in the neoclassical frame of a rational optimizing firm attempting to achieve optimal size. While this frame addresses one important consideration in firm investment, it has two important shortcomings that this paper will...

Deferred tax and accruals have the characteristic of causing reported earnings to be above or below normal. Both are permitted to be used by companies in financial reporting. This study examines whether large deferred taxes and large accruals have an impact on the relationship between earnings...

We document five facts about banks: (1) market and book leverage diverged during the 2008 crisis, (2) Tobin's Q predicts future profitability, (3) neither book nor market leverage appears constrained, (4) banks maintain a market-leverage target that is reached slowly, and (5) precrisis, leverage...

Extant research on the accruals anomaly is based on returns starting a few months after fiscal year ends, not when accruals are publicly known. We explore the nature of the accruals anomaly by analyzing the speed of price adjustment to accruals information from the date when accruals first...

I construct a new proxy for Tobin's q that incorporates the replacement cost of patent capital. This proxy, PI (physical plus intangible) q, explains up to 62% more variation in investment than other proxies for q. Furthermore, investment is more sensitive to PI q than to other proxies for q....

This study comprehensively reexamines the debate over behavioral and rational explanations for the investment effect in an updated sample. We closely follow the previous literature and provide several differences. All our tests include five prominent measures of corporate investment and...

We analyze international firm-level data to examine the relationship between housing cycle and firm capital expenditure or R&D spending. We use the housing price component independent of firms' investment opportunity and credit supply shocks, obtained by historical decomposition of a structural...

I devise a novel way of linking the neoclassical theory and the q-theory of investment that does away with the need to impute variables from noisy market signals and directly uses the cross-section of observable and relatively more precisely measurable firm characteristics. I show that for a...

We investigate the impact of stock market cycles on unlisted firms' investment activities. We find that bull markets is associated with increased capital expenditures, new establishments, and employment growth in the unlisted corporate sector, while bear markets is associated with a decrease in...

We examine the sensitivity of corporate investment to stock-market valuations (measured by Tobin's q) and internal funds (measured by cash flow) in a setting that captures the unique country institutional characteristics of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. We report a higher...
