Emissions Intensity

The authors examined environmental responsibility and financial performance nexus of Johannesburg Stock Exchange’s socially responsible investing manufacturing and mining firms during the period of 2008-2014. The study employs annual panel dataset of fourteen manufacturing and mining companies on the index, and Granger causality analysis using Gcause2 Baum’s version. The paper found unidirectional causal relationship between environmental responsibility, measured by emissions intensity and equity returns, and bidirectional causal relationship between emissions intensity and market value of equity deflated by sales at 1% significant levels. Impliedly, improvements in ‘energy efficient technologies’ to reduce fossil energy consumption (prevention activities) seem to exhibit value destroying tendencies, while improvements in ‘end-of-pipe’ activities seem to estimate a drive market value of equity deflated by sales and equity returns. The Pesaran CD and Breusch-Pagan LM tests confirmed existence of cross-sectional dependence amongst panel members. The authors tend to support institutional and stakeholder theories.

External Migration

The Carpathian Region (Zakarpattia, Lviv, Chernivtsi, and Ivano-Frankivsk) is inferior to other regions in Ukraine regarding its economic development, which does not contribute to migration stability and, rather, serves as a factor motivating the active part of the population to emigrate. The problem of the labor market disproportions in the Carpathian Region is one of the significant causes of the formation and subsequent implementation of migration intentions, especially in rural areas, less economically developed areas, and district centers, where labor demand is much lower. The research aims to develop an innovative approach to calculating the intensity of the population’s external migration based on the introduction of a correction coefficient, which enables to consider the scale of transit migration in the Carpathian Region. The data presented in the study were collected for the period 2005–2018. Granger causality analysis is used to assess the relationship between migration and socio-economic development of the region. The analysis reveals that in all regions of the Carpathian Region, there is a short-run causal relationship between the intensity of external migration and the share of total household expenditure on food; in the medium run, the real household income, the size of the average monthly wages, and the volume of foreign portfolio investment, the foreign economic activity and retail trade turnover in the region; in the long run, living standards and indicators of economic growth. Future studies may require a more diverse set of indicators to evaluate the causal relationship in other regions of Ukraine, which will provide the integrity of the results of Granger causality analysis. AcknowledgmentThe research has been conducted within the framework of applied research ‘Migration Activity of the Population of the Carpathian Region’ (Dolishniy Institute of Regional Research of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Reg. No. 0119U002010, 2019–2021).

Causality Relationship

Abstract The purpose of this research is to investigate causal relationship between financial literacy and financial behavior, financial behavior and financial satisfaction, and between financial literacy and financial satisfaction. The analysis technique used was Granger Causality analysis. The research data was obtained using questionnaire distributed to 100 respondents. The repondents are Indonesian citizens in productive age (15-64 years). The results show a one-way causality between financial literacy and financial behavior, between financial behavior and financial satisfaction, but there is no causality relationship (independence) between financial literacy and financial satisfaction. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan sebab akibat dari literasi finansial dan perilaku finansial, perilaku finansial dan kepuasan finansial, serta antara literasi finansial dan kepuasan finansial. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisa Granger Causality. Data dikumpulkan dengan menggunakn kuesioner yang dibagikan kepada 100 responden. Para responden adalah warga Indonesia berusia produktif (15-64) tahun. Hasil yang didapatkan menunjukkan adanya hubungan sebab akibat antara literasi finansial dengan perilaku financial, serta antara perilaku finansial dankepuasan finansial. Sementara hubungan antar literasi finansial dan kepuasan finansial tidak ditemukan.

AbstractThis paper examines the causality between fraud and bank performance in Nigeria over the period 2000-2016 for quarterly financial data using Johansen’s Multivariate Cointegration Model and Vector Autoregressive (VAR) Granger Causality analysis. The results show a long-run relationship between the variables. Bank performance was found to be linked to Granger fraud variables and vice versa at 10% significant level. This study reveals that there was a direct causal relationship between bank performance and fraud because increase in fraudulent activities in the banking sector leads to reduction in bank performance. Hence, this study recommends that internal control systems of banks should be strengthened so as to detect and prevent fraud. In this way, bank assets would be protected.

Granger Causality Analysis

ABSTRACTNeuroimaging and neurological studies suggest that stroke is a brain network syndrome. While causing local ischemia and cell damage at the site of injury, stroke strongly perturbs the functional organization of brain networks at large. Critically, functional connectivity abnormalities parallel both behavioral deficits and functional recovery across different cognitive domains. However, the reasons for such relations remain poorly understood. Here, we tested the hypothesis that alterations in inter-areal communication underlie stroke-related modulations in functional connectivity (FC). To this aim, we used resting-state fMRI and Granger causality analysis to quantify information transfer between brain areas and its alteration in stroke. Two main large-scale anomalies were observed in stroke patients. First, inter-hemispheric information transfer was strongly decreased with respect to healthy controls. Second, information transfer within the affected hemisphere, and from the affected to the intact hemisphere was reduced. Both anomalies were more prominent in resting-state networks related to attention and language, and they were correlated with impaired performance in several behavioral domains. Overall, our results support the hypothesis that stroke perturbs inter-areal communication within and across hemispheres, and suggest novel therapeutic approaches aimed at restoring normal information flow.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA thorough understanding of how stroke perturbs brain function is needed to improve recovery from the severe neurological syndromes affecting stroke patients. Previous resting-state neuroimaging studies suggested that interaction between hemispheres decreases after stroke, while interaction between areas of the same hemisphere increases. Here, we used Granger causality to reconstruct information flows in the brain at rest, and analyze how stroke perturbs them. We showed that stroke causes a global reduction of inter-hemispheric communication, and an imbalance between the intact and the affected hemisphere: information flows within and from the latter are impaired. Our results may inform the design of stimulation therapies to restore the functional balance lost after stroke.
