The problem of the poverty of relativity today is still a crucial topic considering the economic conditions in Indonesia are experiencing a slump due to Covid-19. The problem of poverty relativity is one of the main points that must be faced by the government in providing social protection assistance policies as a form of economic recovery during the Covid-19. The poverty of relativity in Banten Province is relatively high even though it has been ranked 10 nationally. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship between unemployment, income inequality, and human capital as well as find out which level is very dominant in the long run on each of the variables that directly affect the relativity of poverty in Banten Province. This study examines how changes in economic indicators occur due to the Covid-19 pandemic in 8 Regencies/Cities of Banten Province. The analysis of this study uses panel data regression using the method Fixed Effect Model (FEM) in 8 regencies/cities in Banten Province in the data range from 2016 to 2020. The results of this study indicate that unemployment due to layoffs has a positive and significant influence on the relativity of poverty in 8 districts/cities of Banten Province. Furthermore, this study shows that income inequality has no significant and positive effect on the relativity of poverty. Meanwhile, human capital appears to be one of the dominant factors that can have a negative and significant impact on economic recovery and reduce the relative impact of poverty during the Covid-19 pandemic.

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.

Over the past two decades, many governments around the world have adopted e-government as an anti-corruption tool. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the impacts of e-government on corruption. Thus, this article aims to empirically examine whether e-government reduces corruption across countries. For this purpose, longitudinal data from 2003 to 2016 were collected from 214 countries and then panel data analysis based on a fixed-effect model was conducted. Analysis results reveal that e-government as a whole significantly reduces corruption, while the effects of open government as one type of e-government are unclear. However, the rule of law moderates the relationship between open government and corruption. That is, in countries with more effective legal systems, open government is more likely to reduce corruption than in countries with less effective legal systems. Points for practitioners E-government as a whole can effectively reduce corruption. Open government, such as open data portals and online discussion forums, does not have a direct impact on the reduction of corruption. Open government can have a conditional impact on corruption, relying on the effectiveness of legal systems.

The study aimed to emphasize the determinants of dividend policy in Sri Lankan firms. This study was conducted with 80 non - financial companies which were listed on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). The empirical research was focused on panel data analysis, and data was collected from annual reports for a five year period from 2013 to 2017. This study explored selected factors that influence dividend policy, including sales growth, leverage, firm size, profitability, EPS, liquidity, and risk. The panel data analysis employed pooled OLS, fixed - effect, and random - effect models. Based on the analysis, the fixed - effect model was thought to be the best fit for studying the factors that affect dividend policy. According to the outcome of fixed-effect model, among the seven input variables considered in this study, profitability, EPS, and risk were negatively linked to dividend policy. However, no significant relationship was found between dividend policy and sales growth, leverage, firm size, or liquidity. The findings contribute to the understanding that three parameters namely: profitability, EPS, and risk have been recognized as factors affecting dividend payouts in CSE’s listed companies. Hence, policymakers will be able to concentrate on the factors that influence shareholder wealth maximization. Keywords: profitability, EPS, risk, dividend payout

Income inequality means that one segment of the population has a disproportionately large share of income compared to the other. Disparities in income and wealth have tended to dominate the discussion on inequality because they contribute directly to individuals and families’ well-being and shape the opportunities people have in life. Therefore, addressing income inequality is essential to inspire each country’s population’s human and productive potentials to bring development. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between income inequality and human capital using static panel data analysis. Specifically, the study employs fixed effect panel data analysis using Least Square Dummy Variable for 25 sub-Saharan African countries. The World Bank data series was widely used as the data source for macroeconomic variables, while the Gini index has obtained from the Standardized World Income Inequality Database. The empirical results reveal that human capital in terms of secondary school enrollment rate has a negative impact on income inequality. The study also found a U-shaped relationship between real gross domestic product per capita and inequality, and it does not support the well-known concept of the Kuznets curve.Keywords: Income Inequality; Human Capital; Panel Data; Random Effect; Fixed Effect.JEL: C10, Q0, A10
