The Impact

This paper examines the abnormal returns in merger withdrawals in Australia, especially distinguishing the market response between private and public targets. We also study the determinants of those abnormal returns, including the method of payment and the impact of financial crisis periods. Using the event study method, we document that in the Australian context, the announced withdrawal of mergers involving private targets creates significantly negative valuation effects in comparison with the valuation effects in withdrawal of mergers involving public targets. We also find that a financial crisis period strongly affects abnormal returns of merger withdrawals. However, the method of payment does not have any impact on the abnormal returns.

The term letter of credit (LC) is not uncommon in international trade as it is the most frequently used method of payment by seller and buyer in their sales contract. LC serves its significant role by facilitating payment between buyer and seller from different countries, who are always prejudiced towards each other on the issue of payment, especially when the deal involves a huge amount of money. By using LC, the seller and buyer will be represented by their own bankers whose function, among others is to issue an LC for the buyer and pay on presentation of seller’s documents which strictly comply to LC requirements. It is well-known that LC is governed by the principle of autonomy or also referred to as the principle of independence1 which indicates LC, being a contract of payment is totally separate from the underlying sales contract. Banks are concerned with documents only and not with the goods. LC transaction can be governed by the Uniform Custom and Practice for Documentary Credit, known as the UCP through express incorporation which provides the rules relating to LC matters and is adopted in almost all LC transactions. This paper discusses the nature, background and significance of principle of autonomy in LC transaction. In elaborating the provisions on the principle of autonomy in the UCP 600, comparisons between relevant articles in the UCP 500 are highlighted. The discussion also focuses on relevant case law and on the application of the autonomy principle in conventional and Islamic LC. The paper concludes with the finding that Malaysian bankers fully subscribe to the principle of autonomy as outlined by the UCP 600.

Unlisted acquisitions differ from listed ones in three important aspects: the possibility of forming blockholders, which substitute debt as a monitoring mechanism; the liquidity discount, which mitigates managerial hubris; and the distinct deal process through which two-sided asymmetric information is revealed. Due to these differences, same firm and deal characteristics could induce heterogeneous market responses, depending on the target listing status. We find that such heterogeneous responses exist in usual characteristics such as method of payment, relative size, acquirer size, leverage, and market-to-book ratios. After these heterogeneous responses are incorporated, the puzzling "listing effect" disappears. Our results also indicate that the conventional approach used to investigate pooled samples of listed and unlisted acquisitions is effectively misspecified due to omitted variables.

Year 2000

Purpose A prior analysis by the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG) showed that women and African American patients were adequately represented on cancer clinical treatment trials but that older patients were substantially underrepresented. Twenty-five percent of patients ≥ 65 years old were enrolled onto SWOG trials from 1993 to 1996, whereas 63% of all patients with cancer were ≥ 65 years old. Recognition of this under-representation led to a change in Medicare policy in 2000 to include coverage of routine patient care costs of clinical trials. We conducted an updated analysis of accrual trends. Methods The proportions of enrollment onto SWOG treatment trials by sex, race/ethnicity, and age (≥ 65 years) were computed for the years 1997 to 2000; corresponding rates in the United States were derived from US Census and National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data. Additionally, method of payment data were analyzed over time (1993 to 2003) to assess whether patterns in method of payment changed with the new Year 2000 Medicare policy on clinical trials coverage. Results The results showed continued adequate representation by sex and race/ethnicity. Older patient accrual on SWOG trials increased significantly since 2000, with 31% of patients ≥ 65 years old enrolled from 1997 to 2000 and 38% enrolled from 2001 to 2003 (v 25% from 1993 to 1996). The percentage of patients using Medicare plus supplemental insurance also increased beginning in 2000, whereas the percentage of patients using Medicare alone remained the same. Conclusion Method of payment analyses provided evidence that the Year 2000 Medicare policy change had a positive impact, but only for those patients with supplemental private coverage of coinsurance costs. Improvements in the Medicare payment structure could further increase older patient participation in clinical trials.

Background and objectives: Reported microbial resistance to antibiotics is increasing. One of the main factors is patient non-compliance in use of antibiotics. Pharmacist counseling has been shown to be effective in increasing compliance with the use of several types of medications, but its effectiveness of on compliance with antibiotic use has not been widely published. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of pharmaceutical counseling in a pharmacy setting to increase compliance with antibiotic use.Method: A randomized controlled trial was conducted on 104 adult patients aged 18 years and over who purchased antibiotics by prescription at a pharmacy in Denpasar City, Bali Province. The number of subjects was determined with a confidence level of 95% and a power of 90% with the effect size of 20%. Subjects were divided into two groups using the block randomization method, namely 52 subjects in the intervention group and 52 subjects in the control group. The intervention group was provided with pharmaceutical counseling by a pharmacist at the time of delivery of the drug at the pharmacy, while the control group was provided drug information according to the pharmacy service standard. Subject compliance was measured by telephone interview using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 questionnaire within 3-5 days after purchasing the medication. Statistical analysis with the Mann Whitney U Test was performed to determine the difference in mean rank of compliance scores between the intervention group and the control group. The proportion of compliance among the intervention group was divided by proportion of compliance in the control group to get the compliance ratio. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the adjusted compliance ratio.Results: The number of subjects analyzed was 98, as 5 subjects could not be contacted by telephone and 1 subject was hospitalized. The mean rank of compliance scores in the intervention group (61.05) was significantly higher (p<0.001) than the comparison group (37.95). The proportion of compliance in the intervention group was 65.3% and the control group was 18.4%, with the proportion ratio (PR) of 3.56 (95%CI=1.90-6.64). Logistic regression analysis showed that variables which significantly increased compliance with antibiotic use were pharmacist counseling (APR=9.33; 95%CI: 3.24-26.87), frequency of taking medication (APR=6.94; 95%CI: 2.01-23.92) and method of payment (APR=4.30; 95%CI: 1.18-15.66).Conclusion: Pharmaceutical counseling at a pharmacy setting was found to increase compliance of antibiotic use. Compliance of antibiotic use is also influenced by the frequency of taking medication and the method of payment. Pharmacist counseling when accessing medication at a pharmacy is crucial for improving patient compliance of antibiotic use.
