The Impact

This research aims to determine the impact of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on the cost of equity for manufacturing companies in Indonesia. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling, namely companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The analysis was carried out in the Manufacturing industry sector in 2013 - 2015. The GCG index was measured using five dimensions adopted from Black et al. (2003) and Cost of Equity is measured by the ex ante cost of equity capital using the Price Earning Growth (PEG) proxy. The reason for using ex ante cost of equity capital is ex-ante is more describing the role of investors in seeing the risk of a company. The results of this study indicate that GCG negatively affects on the cost of equity. GCG limits managerial opportunism and reduces agency conflicts between owners and agents. Therefore, shareholders are willing to accept a lower risk premium, effectively reducing equity costs.

The Cost

ABSTRACT: This study examines whether and how earnings quality, measured as accruals quality (AQ), affects the cost of equity capital. Using two-stage cross-sectional regression tests, we find that the AQ risk factor is significantly priced, after controlling for low-priced stocks. This result is robust in tests using individual stocks, various portfolio formations, and different beta estimations. Furthermore, we show that AQ and its pricing effect systematically vary with business cycles and macroeconomic variables. In particular, this pricing effect is prominent in total AQ and innate AQ but not in discretionary AQ. The risk premium associated with AQ exists only in economic expansion but not in recession periods. Poorer AQ firms are more vulnerable to macroeconomic shocks. The risk premium and the dispersion of AQ are also related to future economic activity. Overall, our results suggest that AQ contributes to the cost of equity capital and that its pricing effect is associated with fundamental risk.

The Cost

Our study aims to investigate how information asymmetry and ownership structure affect cost of equity capital. For that purpose, we collected 246 issuers over 4 years for a total of 984 observations. By using panel data processing, we found that the information asymmetry we proxied through Price non-Synchronization and trading volume had an effect on the cost of equity capital. Our results also confirmed both Agency Theory and Pecking Order Theory. Both theories are in line with the conditions of the stock market in Indonesia. In addition, we found that institutional and foreign ownership structures also had an effect on the cost of equity capital. Furthermore, our results also confirmed Interest Alignment Theory and Entrenchment Theory. Our research is expected to contribute to the debate on the existence of information asymmetry and ownership structures in relation to the cost of equity capital. We also hope that it will be a valuable input for investors in considering their investment. Moreover, from the results of this study, investors can also consider foreign ownership or institutional ownership in determining their investment. In addition, stock market regulators in Indonesia can develop approaches to minimize information asymmetry and encourage foreign investors to invest in Indonesia.
