The study investigates the impact of corporate governance characteristics on stock prices in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) financial markets. It covers the financial markets of four (GCC) countries with a sample of 237 firms for the period of 2013-2017. The study was based on the GCC financial markets’ database, financial statements and ancillary notes which include corporate governance, stock prices by Bloomberg and share location. A multi-regression model was used. The independent variables were four corporate governance characteristics and the dependent variable was the stock price, in addition to using a number of control variables. A positive relationship was found between corporate governance and return on stock. The Gulf companies that have increased levels of corporate governance have increased returns to their shares, indicating that these companies are working to reduce the agency’s cost and eliminate the conflict between shareholders and directors. Few studies have focused on the relationship of corporate governance characteristics on stock prices in the GCC financial markets. The existing study contributes to the financial management literature by providing further evidence on such a relationship, especially in emerging countries. It serves as a guide to investors looking for the best investments in reliable companies in the region

This research is to empirically examine the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR), good corporate governance (GCG), and zakat on profitability with company size being a moderating variable. The sample was selected utilizing a purposive sampling technique using 35 samples obtained from the Sharia Commercial Bank financial statements for the 2012-2018 periods. These results prove that CSR and zakat also have a significant effect on profitability, besides CSR cannot affect profitability. Company size can moderate the relationship between CSR and GCG with profitability, While the size of the company weakens the relationship of zakat with profitability.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether corporate governance is associated with stock prices and trade volume for 62 publicly traded firms on the Egyptian Stock Exchange during 2007-2014. The authors hypothesize that firms with strong corporate governance have a significant impact on stock prices and trade volume. To examine the associations, a multiple regression analysis is used.

The purpose of our research is to investigate the factors that impact performance in a financial management simulation component of a second financial management class. We measured the impact of previous course performance, gender, age and other concurrent course components on the dependent variable. Using two different statistical techniques, we found that a students current scores on exams, case write-ups and written summary reports were the strongest predictors of performance in the online simulation. The predictive ability of this variable was complemented by the positive impact of a students age. All else equal, the higher the age, the better the performance as measured by the simulated firms stock price. These results are encouraging and we will continue this experiential process during future semesters to add additional students to our sample size to further investigate the relationship between performance in the simulation and student characteristics.
