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.

Risk is classified into two types which are systematic risk and unsystematic risk. Unsystematic risk is known as a diversifiable risk that can be avoided or managed. On the other hand, systematic risk is the market-related risk which cannot be controlled or diversified away. Between these two types of risks, the systematic risk becomes the major concern of firms and investors as this type of risk cannot be avoided or diversified away, but need to be strategized and managed accordingly. The purpose of this study is to examine the main factors influence on the behavior of systematic risk in six industries of Thailand, the period of study is 15 years from 2002 to 2016 and consist of 372 non-financial listed firms. This study employs the panel data analysis, comprising of the random effect model (REM), fixed effect model (FEM), and pool ordinary least square (POLS). The overall findings show some common financial variables such as financial leverage, liquidity, firm size, firm growth, and profitability are considered as the main factors affecting systematic risk in Thai consumer goods, technology, telecommunication, utilities, and health care. However, Thai consumer service is reported as an insignificant relationship between financial variables and systematic risk. Apart from financial variables, there is an impact of the financial crisis (2009) on systematic risk in all industries. Findings in this study extent in the finance literature on systematic risk, different internal industries may have different factors influencing the behavior of systematic risk.

<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>

A country’s credit worthiness decided by macroeconomic factors. This research aims to examine the impact of macroeconomic and external factor on yield spread of East Asia, Latin America, and Caribbean countries. Macroeconomic variables used in this research are classified as macroeconomic variables that influence liquidity and solvency, and macroeconomic variables that influence macroeconomic fundamental. This research is conducted by using quarterly yield spread data of 11 countries from 2000Q1 to 2015Q4 and analyzed panel data regression using Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM) and Random Effect Model (REM). Study results show that macroeconomic variables that have impact on yield spread are external debt to GDP ratio, fiscal balance to GDP ratio, amortization to international reserve ratio, current account to GDP ratio, real effective exchange rate, and GDP per capita growth. External factors that have impact on yield spread are US Treasury Bond 10 year yield and Volatility Index. Abstrak Kelayakan utang (credit worthiness) sebuah negara ditentukan dari kondisi ekonomi makro negara tersebut dan faktor eksternal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh faktor ekonomi makro serta faktor eksternal terhadap yield spread negara-negara di Asia Timur, Amerika Latin dan Karibian.  Variabel ekonomi makro yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini digolongkan dalam dua kelompok yakni yang memengaruhi likuiditas dan solvensi serta yang memengaruhi fundamental ekonomi makro. Penelitian dilakukan dengan menggunakan yield spread triwulanan dari 11 negara untuk periode 2000Q1:2015Q4 dan analisis regresi data panel menggunakan Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM) dan Random Effect Model (REM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa variabel ekonomi makro yang memengaruhi yield spread adalah rasio utang luar negeri terhadap PDB,  rasio keseimbangan anggaran fiskal terhadap PDB, rasio amortisasi terhadap cadangan devisa, rasio transaksi berjalan terhadap PDB, nilai tukar riil (real effective exchange rate) dan  pertumbuhan PDB per kapita. Faktor eksternal yang memengaruhi yield spread adalah yield US Treasury 10 tahun dan Volatility Index (VIX).

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.
