This paper is to explore that if foreign ownership exactly affects on R&D investment of Chinese GEM companies. We use six variables, including RDS (the ratio of R&D and operating income), the proportion of foreign ownership, company size (the logarithm of total assets), gearing ratio, the proportion of the top five shareholders, and the location, to construct the regression model to verify the impact of foreign ownership on R&D investment for 153 listed firm sample during 2009-2014, which has removed companies without R&D investment. We find that foreign ownership and enterprise R&D investment indeed exists positive correlation, but not significantly; further investigation found that foreign ownership will not improve enterprise performance when it promotes R&D investment, but exist a negative correlation relationship. Therefore, such a relationship is important for company to control the proportion of foreign ownership to manage the ownership structure.

This paper provides an examination of the impact of size, regulation and ownership structure on the productivity and efficiency of 53 securities firms in Vietnam in the years 2009 to 2017. The results show that the size of the firms and regulation has an impact on the performance of the firms. Foreign ownership also has a significant negative correlation with the firms’ efficiency, while majority ownership by domestic Vietnamese, individual shareholders (as opposed to ownership by institutional shareholders) has a positive impact. In contrast, there is no significant correlation between ownership by banks and the productive efficiency of the firms.

The relevant literature suggests that ownership structure is one of the main corporate governance mechanisms influencing the scope of financial performance. The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ownership structure and financial performance of listed beverage food and tobacco companies for the period of 2010-2015. This study also examines the impact of ownership structure on financial performance. The sample consists of 10 listed beverage food and tobacco companies in Sri Lanka. In this study, data was collected from secondary sources and hypotheses are examined by using Pearson’s correlation and regression analysis. The results reveal that ownership concentration and foreign ownership structure are positively correlated with financial performance of listed beverage food and tobacco companies while institutional ownership structure isn’t significantly correlated with financial performance. It is also found that there is a significant impact of foreign ownership structure on financial performance. Higher the foreign ownership structure in listed beverage food and tobacco companies, the higher the financial performance which is preferable for the shareholders and it improves the wealth of companies.

The distributed lag model is a regression  model that describes the relationship between the dependent variable of a given period and the independent variables of a certain or previous periods. The model can be used to determine the impact of the independent variable to dependent variables over time and forecast time series data for the next periods. There are two forms of distributed lag model that have been widely proposed in the estimation of distributed lag regression model. The first form  is proposed by Koyck and the second form by Almon. This paper aims to apply the Almon model to examine the effect of  the ratio of BOPO (Operating Cost and Operating Income) to the ROA (Return on Asset) of a government bank based on quarterly data, to estimate its parameters, to examine the feasibility of the model, and to predict the next quarter.  Results shows that distributed lag model is  = 10.110 - 0.078  + 0.015  + 0.026  – 0.045  with Yt is ROA, and Xt is the ratio BOPO  on the 1st quarter until the previous 3 quarters. The model is quite good according to the determination coefficient that is 0.75, no autocorrelation in the model, t test and F test are also significant. Based on the model, the value of ROA ratio next quarter predicted 4.63%. The decrease in profitability ROA ratio is due to an increase in interest expense while interest income can not compensate

PurposeThe paper examines the impact of export activity on productivity and how this effect is moderated by R&D investment and foreign ownership.Design/methodology/approachA time-lag effect is taken into account when examining the proposed model. Data are collected from the Annual Industrial Survey of the National Bureau of Statistics of China. A dataset containing 117,340 firms across the sample period (2001–2007) are used to test the hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that while R&D investment plays a significant role in strengthening the positive effect of export activity on a firm's productivity, foreign ownership surprisingly has a negative moderating role.Originality/valueScholarly interest in the links between export activity and productivity is on the rise. However, the bulk of research has been focused on understanding the effects of export activity on productivity at the country or industry level. Little has been done at the firm level. Another gap in the literature is that the mechanism through which the impact of export activity can be leveraged to enhance the firm's productivity has been largely ignored. To address these issues, the study adopts the learning-by-exporting theory to examine the relationship between export and productivity at the firm-level and how R&D investment and foreign ownership may explain how learning can be leveraged to enhance the firm's productivity. Finally, these relationships are examined in the context of firms from an emerging market, China, which is especially relevant for the learning-by-exporting argument used in this study.

ABSTRAKPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh Struktur Kepemilikan, Profitabilitas dan Ukuran Perusahaan terhadap Corporate Social Responsibility. Teknik analisis yang dipilih merupakan analisis regresi data panel menggunakan Eviews 9,  pada 13 perusahaan yang terdaftar dalam Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) tahun 2015-2019 sebagai sampel dengan kriteria tertentu. Variabel struktur kepemilikan dibagi menjadi kepemilikan domestik dan asing yang diukur dengan presentase kepemilikan saham di perusahaan, profitabilitas dihitung dengan ROA, ukuran perusahaan diukur dengan ln (logaritma natural) total aset dan pengungkapan CSR dihitung menggunakan ISR dengan cara presentase pengungkapan perusahaan dibagi dengan jumlah maksimum pengungkapan tanggung jawab sosial. Hasil olah data menemukan secara statistik kepemilikan domestik memiliki hubungan negatif signifikan terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Ukuran perusahaan secara statistik memiliki hubungan positif signifikan terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Sebaliknya profitabilitas dan kepemilikan asing secara statistik memiliki hubungan positif tidak signifikan terhadap pengungkapan CSR. Secara simultan, hasil olah data menunjukkan bahwa struktur kepemilikan yang dibagi menjadi kepemilikan domestik dan asing, profitabilitas dan ukuran perusahaan berpengaruh terhadap pengungkapan CSR pada 13 perusahaan yang terdaftar di JII tahun 2015-2019.Kata Kunci: Pengungkapan Corporate Social Responsibility, Ukuran Perusahaan, Islamic Social Reporting, Kepemilikan Asing, Kepemilikan Domestik, Pofitabilitas, Struktur Kepemilikan. ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of ownership structure, profitability, and firm size on corporate social responsibility. The analysis technique chosen is panel data regression analysis using Eviews 9, on 13 companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII) 2015-2019 as samples with certain criteria. The variable of ownership structure divided into domestic and foreign ownership calculated using percentage of share ownership in the company, profitability is calculated by ROA, company size is calculated using ln (natural logarithm) total assets and CSR disclosure is calculated using ISR index by percentage of company disclosures divided by the number of social responsibility disclosures. The results of data processing found that statistically domestic ownership has a significant negative relationship to CSR disclosure. Firm size has a statistically significant positive relationship to CSR disclosure. On the other hand, profitability and foreign ownership have a statistically insignificant positive towards CSR disclosure. Simultaneously, the results show the ownership structure divided by domestic and foreign ownership, profitability and company size affects the CSR disclosure in 13 companies listed in JII 2015-2019.Keywords: Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure, Islamic Social Reporting, Ownership Structure, Domestik Ownership, Foreign Ownership, Profitability, Company Size.

Purpose Previous studies that dealt with corporate governance have witnessed gradually significant growth that created some new trends. The purpose of this paper is to be involved in such trends through examining the link between ownership structure as one of the important corporate governance mechanisms and firm performance in Jordan as one of emerging economies. Design/methodology/approach The current study used the multiple regression method to analyze available data for non-financial firms listed in the Amman Stock Exchange for the fiscal year 2012. Findings The findings revealed that managerial ownership has a positive impact on performance. On the other hand, the findings surprisingly showed no evidence to support the impact of foreign ownership on performance. Moreover, there is a significant evidence to support the fact that company size has no impact on firm performance. The findings also revealed that industry type has no impact on firm performance. Practical implications The practical implications of the current study demonstrated that good corporate governance is imperative to all organizations and must be encouraged for the interest of all stakeholders. Unlike the majority of the previous studies, the current study unexpectedly found that foreign ownership is not significantly contributing to the firm performance. Thus, Jordanian Government and other related/responsible parties should formulate policies for the foreign investors. Originality/value Interestingly, from developed and developing countries perspective, the study is the first of its kind that exclusively chose the mechanisms of ownership structure in its relationship with firm performance represented by market share, where no previous study has tested foreign ownership in such relationship. In that, this study is the first study in emerging economies to investigate such a link. Such new insights on this relationship by current study provide helpful information that is of great value to the government, academics, policy makers, and other stakeholders.

This research examines the impact of the ownership structure on corporate diversification decision of listed firms in Vietnam over the period of 2007 and 2012. The empirical results from logit model show that while state ownership has positive impact on corporate diversification decisions of the firms, foreign ownership has negative impact on corporate diversification decision of the firms. This implies that government ownership tends to encourage corporate diversification strategy, while foreign ownership may plays monitoring role and discourage corporate diversification strategy in emerging market context.

The paper examines the effect of ownership structure on profit management in Vietnam. In this study, we explore how three components of ownership structure - the degree of ownership concentration of managers, foreign ownership ratio and state ownership ratio - affect earnings management. In addition, we also consider whether ownership structure affects profit management during financial constraints.<b> </b>We used REM, FEM, GLS, and GMM regression methods. The study results have shown that ownership structure with foreign ownership has a positive effect on earnings management, whereas one with a proportion of state ownership has a contradicting effect. While the degree of ownership concentration does not affect the profit management, in the context of financial restrictions, the ownership ratio has an impact on the management of earnings. Controllable variables in the model, such as firm size, financial leverage, growth rate, profitability and audit quality, all have an impact on earnings management. The results could, potentially, be the basis to help businesses in restricting earnings management behaviour.
