We discuss the important determinants requires to develop green patents, which eventually reinforce green growth. The theoretical framework examined four elements, the enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPRs), research and development (R&D) expenditures, market size and environmental taxations. We empirically test the green patent data to test the interrelationship of green patents representing the green innovations and IPR, R&D expenditures, market size and environmental taxations. Keeping in view the availability of the data we studied 11 developed countries, which are Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Finland, Germany, Sweden, U.K and U.S. The panel data can better handled the technological change rather than the pure cross section or pure time series data. Therefore, this study used the Pooled Least Square estimation techniques like Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and random effect model (REM) for both balance period of 1995–2010 and unbalanced period from 1995–2010. We only interpreted the balance period results depicting the enforcement of IPRs has negative and significant impact on green patents while the R&D expenditures, market size and environmental taxations has positive and significant impact on the green patents e.g. development of green innovations. We believe that the enforcement of explanatory variables will eventually acquire green growth.

This research aims to systematically, actual, and accurately explain the facts and characteristics of the company and their effect on financial performance. Data in the form of time-series data from 2015-2019 and cross-section data collected from the financial statements of automotive companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange then obtained nine companies that meet the criteria. The independent variables are Firm Size, Leverage, Liquidity, and the dependent variable is financial performance as proxied by Return On Equity (ROA). The research used panel data techniques; Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model. The results show that Firm Size partially has a negative and significant effect, meaning that the greater the assets owned by the company, the more complex the agency problems faced. The partial leverage variable has a negative and significant effect, means that the use of relatively high debt will cause fixed costs in the form of interest expenses and loan principal installments to be paid, the greater the fixed costs. The liquidity variable partially has a positive and insignificant effect. This means that changes that occur in both the number of current assets or current liabilities affect increasing profits so that the increase in Liquidity (CR) or the level of liquidity affects changes in increasing company performance (ROA).

This paper empirically studied the impact of several variables such as moneyness, stock return, maturity, and volatility on the warrant mispricing. We selected 4 companies listed in Bursa Malaysia such as MHC Plantations Bhd, MKH Bhd, YFG Bhd, and UNISEM to investigate the mispricing of warrants. Subsequently, panel time series data employed with daily basis from 30 June 2010 until 30 June 2013. The Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model (BSOPM) used to determine the mispricing of warrant. Several panel data techniques employed in this study such as pooled-OLS, fixed effect model (FEM), and random effect model (REM). In turn, we found that FEM is well explained the determinants of warrant mispricing. Thus, empirical results suggest that moneyness, maturity, and volatility are positively and significantly explained the mispricing of warrant, while stock return does not give an impact toward the warrant mispricing. The BSOPM is consistently mispricing the warrant either in-the-money (ITM) or out-the money (OTM) warrants. The market is not efficient on the warrants traded for four companies observed

This article seeks to examine the relationship between the board size and firm performance. Existing literature on board size is based on different theories of corporate governance. While agency theory and resource dependency theory suggest that the board size positively affects performance, stewardship theory favours smaller board size and argues that larger board size negatively impacts the firm performance. The present article adds to the empirical literature by employing panel data analysis of 145 non-financial companies listed in the NSE CNX 200 Index of India corresponding to 16 industries. The study is carried out for a period of five years from 2008 to 2012. The firm performance has been measured using Tobin’s Q and the market-to-book value ratio (MBVR) as market-based measures and return on assets (ROA) and return on capital employed (ROCE) as accounting-based measures. The fixed effect model, random effect model and feasible generalised least square (FGLS) regression models are applied to achieve the above-mentioned objectives. The results conclude that the board size has a positive and significant impact on the firm performance.

Freshwater fish output is taken as a proxy variable for empirical assessment of indirect benefits in terms of enhanced quantity of freshwater fish (output) cultivation. It is not unlikely to assess empirically the productivity of subsidized public scheme when rural development or rural asset generations are underlined in the said scheme, MGNREG Act, 2005. Rainwater harvesting is a major component part of the scheme since about 49.5 per cent of the total fund is already utilized on water conservation and obviously it has an impact on the cultivation of freshwater fish output. Time series data on annual expenditure on MGNREG and corresponding freshwater fish output at the state level are taken during the period 2006-07 to 2013-14 for 16 major Indian states. Fixed effect model and random effect models are being applied and the Hausman specification test suggests that fixed effect model is more appropriate than random effect model. Significant differences among the intercepts of the selected states are revealed as per F test. The results of fixed effect panel regression establish that fish output is enhanced by 0.000257 thousand tones or 0.26 tones if MGNREG expenditure rises by one crore or 10 million rupees.

<p><em>Purpose: This paper investigates the effects of inequality on economic growth in the world using continental approach.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Design/methodology:<strong> </strong>Gini Coefficient and Gross Domestic Products (GDP) per capita were used to measure inequality and economic growth respectively. The study conducted a panel data analysis of the relationship between inequality and economic growth. The data span from 1991-2015. Five countries were selected each from seven continents and were also pooled together to constitute a single panel for 35 countries, thus establishing 8 panels. The Hausman test was conducted to determine whether a random or fixed effect model best fit pooled countries analysis or not.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Findings: Findings revealed that for the developing countries, high income inequality retards economic growth while for the developed countries such as Europe countries; the situation seems to be different. European countries as revealed in the findings showed that developed countries have benefited from inequality which has significantly and positively affected their economic growth. The results for Panel II (Asia countries) and Panel III (Europe countries) are in line with the study of Forbes (2000) and Li and Zou (1998) that documented that inequality boosts economic growth. Importantly, we found that inequality positively affects economic growth for Panels/Continents with fixed effect model while inequality negatively affects economic growth for Panels/Continents with random effect model.</em></p><p><em>Research Limitation: The study did not control for each continent differences. For African countries, weak institutional settings and environment is a key factor contributing to high inequality.</em><em></em></p><p><em>Originality: The paper was able to know the specific effect of inequality on economic growth in each continent in the World. This documents continents that have benefited from inequality and those that inequality has greatly affected their economies negatively.</em><em></em></p>

Poverty arises when a person or group of people is unable to meet the level of economic prosperity which is considered a minimum requirement of a certain standard of living or poverty is understood as a state of lack of money and goods to ensure survival. Panel data regression is the development of regression analysis which is a combination of time series data and cross section data. Panel data regression is usually used to make observations of data that is examined continuously for several periods. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence the level of poverty in Madura Island in the period 2008 - 2017. In this study the variables used in this study are life expectancy (X1), average length of school (X2), level open unemployment (X3), and labor force participation (X4) with the Comman Effect Model (CEM) approach, Fixed Effect Model and Random Effect Model (REM). To choose the best model from the three is the chow test, the hausman test and the breusch-pagan test. In this study, the best model chosen was the Fixed Effect Model. Keywords: CEM, Fixed Effect Model, Data Panel Regression, REM, Poverty level.

Social aspects are important aspects that must be considered by every individual. Similarly, companies that must disclose social responsibility or what is called Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) through the mandate of the Act. This research aims to determine the factors that affect the Islamic corporate social responsibility disclosure in Indonesia. This research is categorized in quantitative research with associative approaches. The population in this study amounted to 30 companies registered in the Jakarta Islamic Index in 2016-2018 with a purposive sampling technique to obtain 51 samples. The data analysis model in this study is a panel data linear regression test with a combination of time series data and cross-section which is carried out through three approaches, namely the common effect model, the fixed-effect model, and the random effect model. The results of this study indicate that partially and simultaneously the size of the company's profitability, and the Muslim board of directors influence the disclosure of the company's ICSR. The most influential factor in company ICSR disclosure is company size. The results of this study imply that each company uses the ISR Index as a reference for the preparation of sharia corporate social responsibility reporting standards and increases the number of Muslim board of directors who are competent and have innovative ideas to increase company assets, thus positively impacting ICSR disclosure.
