<p>Dividend policy of firms is one of the most controversial issues of theoretical finance. This paper aims to investigate the firm-level factors influencing the dividend decisions of firms from an emerging market. We examined eight-year panel data for the period from 2006 to 2013 from the Turkish stock market (Borsa Istanbul). The results show that financial leverage, size, growth rate, age, profitability, ownership structure and P/E ratio are statistically significant. The relationship of leverage, growth rate, profitability and family control with dividends is negative, whereas the relationship of size, age and P/E ratio is positive. Therefore, firms with higher debt ratios / growth rates / higher earnings are likely to retain more of their earnings. The empirical evidence from the Turkish stock market shows that the maturity hypothesis proposed by Grullon, Michaely and Swaminathan (2002) best explains the dividend behaviors of firms. Accordingly, as a firm matures, the availability of profitable projects reduces and earnings decrease. As the investment opportunities reduce, the need for resources decreases and the firm increases dividend payouts to shareholders.</p>

The Relationship

This paper attempts to explore the relationship between openness and a Chinese firm's productivity using 1999–2002 panel data on 26 industries covering 2400 enterprises. The current literature has focused mainly on the relationship between productivity and exports, using country-level data, leaving a gap in the relationship between imports and productivity unfilled, in particular at the firm specific level. However, our study complements the existing literature by using the latest set of data, and more importantly, by examining the effects of exports and importing machinery on the firm's performance. Using the dynamic panel data econometrics technique, we find evidence that firms can improve productivity by importing more capital good and utilizing foreign technologies from technologically advanced economies. Finally the effects of importing capital goods on productivities and that of exporting activities are compared.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to measure and examine the relationships between market power, scale economy and productivity for several important food and tobacco industries in China. Design/methodology/approach The model applied in this paper is based on Hall’s framework (Hall, 1988, 1990) and Klette (1999). The paper relaxes the assumption of constant returns to scale, and estimates market power and rate of returns to scale simultaneously, and then employs a covariance approach to examine the relationship between market power, scale economy and productivity via an unbalanced panel data at firm level. Findings Empirical results indicate that all the selected seven food industries are characterized with significant market power, especially for China’s cigarette industry whose markup is as almost five times as the smallest one. In addition, China’s soybean and cigarette sectors are manifested to have scale economy, with return to scale being larger than 1, while the other five sectors are proved to have decreasing returns to scale. Empirical results also provide evidence to support significant negative correlations between market power and scale economy in all sectors, and negative correlations between market power and productivity in most of the selected sectors. While more heterogeneous relationship between scale economy and productivity are found across the selected sectors. Originality/value This paper contributes to examine the relationship between market power, scale economy and productivity empirically for Chinese food manufacturers using a firm-level unbalanced panel data. Results which coincide well with the reality provide policy implication on understanding the situation of market structure for China’s food and tobacco industry.

The Relationship

The article examines the impact of various socio-economic and financial indicators on the resilience of Russian regions. For each region, the integral index of resilience is calculated, and its correlation dependence with the selected indicators is revealed. The study confirms the relationship between fiscal resilience and socio-economic resilience of the regions. The analysis of panel data for 75 regions from 2007 to 2016 shows that there are significant differences in the dynamics of indicators in different periods. In particular, the degree of exposure to the negative effects of the crises of 2008—2009 and 2014—2015 in non-resilient regions is higher than in resilient ones.

The Relationship

This work uses a simultaneous equation system approach to analyze the relationship between the management and business quality of companies and their market price quality. Using panel data we found that both the management and the business quality of companies positively influence the market price quality of the studied American companies. Additionally, variables like the actual position of the company price quality compared to the industry average, being on the top or the bottom, or the beta value of a company, also influence the market price quality of the respective company. It is shown that the system equation approach is the most appropriate to explain the linkages between price, business, and management quality providing consistent estimates. Also, using ratings to express the three core variables in the system is the most adequate way to define the quality characteristics in terms of price, management, and business performance of the companies considered in this study.
