This paper examines the moderating effects of firm and IT characteristics on the market reaction to IT investment announcements. A special emphasis has been placed on the potential interaction effects of these two types of variables, since the previous event studies have paid limited attention to the possibility that they interact and jointly alter investors' perceptions in relation to IT investment announcements. Very recently, several authors have noted the importance of interaction effects on theory development for IS research. Their assessments are particularly relevant to IT-value event studies, since the market reaction to IT investment announcements involves a complex process shaped by the interaction of firm and IT characteristics. Based on the previous studies in IS, finance, and accounting, a firm's growth potential and uncertainty are used as proxies to represent firm characteristics, while IT strategic role and asset-specificity of IT are chosen as the variables reflecting IT characteristics. Three other variables (discloser information, firm size, and industry) are included to control for their effects. We develop eight hypotheses based on the examinations of the main and interaction effects of firm and IT characteristic variables on the shareholder's reaction to IT investment announcements. The results of the main effects indicate that a firm's growth prospects, uncertainty, the strategic role of IT, and discloser information are significantly related to cumulative abnormal returns (CARs), while no significant effect was observed for asset-specificity of IT resources. Interestingly, however, interaction effects reveal that the stock market reacts with a discount to announcements of IT investments that are characterized as highly asset-specific in the presence of uncertainty. In addition, the market reacts more favorably to investments with a transformational IT strategic role when the firm faces greater uncertainty. One of our main contributions in this study is to provide a finer level of granularity with regard to the market reaction to IT investments by considering the interaction as well as the main effects of firm and IT characteristics.

The aim of this study is to analyze empirically the impact of taxation and corruption on the growth of manufacturing firms in Vietnam. The study employed pooled OLS estimation and then instrument variables with fixed effect for the panel data of 1377 firms in Vietnam from 2005 to 2011. These data were obtained from the survey of the Central Institute for Economic Management and the Danish International Development Agency. The results show that both taxation and corruption are negatively associated with firm growth measured by firm sales adjusted according to the GDP deflator. A one-percentage point increase in the bribery rate is linked with a reduction of 16,883 percentage points in firm revenue, over four and a half times bigger than the effect of a one-percentage point increase in the tax rate. From the findings of this research, the author recommends the Vietnam government to lessen taxation on firms and that there should be an urgent revolution in anti-corruption policies as well as bureaucratic improvement in Vietnam.
