This paper provides empirical evidence on the lobbying behaviour induced by political costs in the Australian gold mining industry. The Australian gold mining industry remained tax-exempt for nearly seven decades until 1 January 1991. Due to its rapid prosperity in the early 1980s, the industry came under intense political scrutiny in the mid- to late-1980s. In particular, in December 1985 a federal tax inquiry was commissioned which investigated the economic and social impact of removing the tax-exempt status of the industry. Using the voluntary submissions to the federal tax inquiry as a measure of lobbying activity, this study documents that gold mining firms’ lobbying positions were positively related to the quantity of recoverable gold reserves held by them and profitability of their operations. Results of this paper confirm findings in prior research that firm lobbying positions are consistent with the adverse economic consequences of regulatory changes

Firm Ownership

The purpose of this article was to provide an understanding of the ownership effect on firm investment in the hotel industry. Specifically, a linear relationship between institutional ownership and firm investment was investigated, while a nonlinear relationship between managerial ownership and firm investment was tested based on the convergence of interest and managerial entrenchment hypotheses. This study used two-stage least square (2SLS) regression for the model estimation because an endogenous relationship was suspected between managerial ownership and firm investment. The results of this study confirmed a positive relationship between institutional ownership and firm investment and an inverted U-shaped relationship between managerial ownership and firm investment with a maxima of 17.34%. The results of this study imply that firm investment is dependent on ownership structure. Furthermore, current shareholders should consider granting a stock ownership to managers up to 17.34% to encourage them to act in shareholders’ best interest while avoiding additional issues associated with high managerial ownership. The findings of this study provided empirical evidence that conventional short-term institutional investors hold a long-term perspective when investing in hotel firms, and managerial ownership is an effective measure to mitigate agency problems. Theoretically, this study provided empirical evidence that firm ownership has a causal effect on firm investment in the hotel industry. This finding is expected to expand our understanding of the corporate governance effect on firm behavior. Furthermore, this study confirmed the use of 2SLS regression in the presence of an endogenous relationship between firm ownership and investment.

Csr Disclosure

Companies that are involved in CSR strive to meet the expectations of stakeholders. Therefore, CSR and CSR reporting are tools of legitimacy to demonstrate its obedience (legitimacy theory). This study aims to look at empirical evidence on the effect of profitability and environmental performance on CSR disclosure. This study examined the target population of mining companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange that included the CSR reporting in the 2010-2014 annual report, obtained a sample of 18 companies. By using multiple regression analysis test, there is no significant influence between profitability to CSR disclosure, whilst environmental performance has effect on CSR disclosure.

Abstract The arguments offered by Jaswal & Akhtar to counter the social motivation theory (SMT) do not appear to be directly related to the SMT tenets and predictions, seem to not be empirically testable, and are inconsistent with empirical evidence. To evaluate the merits and shortcomings of the SMT and identify scientifically testable alternatives, advances are needed on the conceptualization and operationalization of social motivation across diagnostic boundaries.

Abstract The integration of first-, second-, and third-personal information within joint intentional collaboration provides the foundation for broad-based second-personal morality. We offer two additions to this framework: a description of the developmental process through which second-personal competence emerges from early triadic interactions, and empirical evidence that collaboration with a concrete goal may provide an essential focal point for this integrative process.
