Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of state ownership on financial reporting quality regarding the characteristics of conservatism and earnings management. Design/methodology/approach Using a large sample of public and private European firms during the period 2003-2010, the authors test the hypotheses following Ball and Shivakumar’s (2005) model for conservatism and the modified Jones (1991) model proposed by Dechow and Sloan (1995) for earnings management. To ensure that the results are robust, the authors conduct sensitivity analysis with regard to potential endogeneity and selection bias. Findings The authors find that state-owned firms are less conservative than non-state-owned firms, which is consistent with the idea that there is less need for accounting conservatism due to government protection. The authors also show that capital markets play an important role in shaping the relation between state ownership and earnings management. Among public firms, the authors find that state-owned firms have higher abnormal accruals and worse accruals quality than non-state-owned firms, which suggests that state-owned firms are not immune to capital market pressures. Research limitations/implications The study has two limitations. First, as state-owned and non-state-owned firms face quite different incentive structures, management behavior might be determined by factors that have yet to be identified. Second, prior research results suggest an inverted U-shape relation between ownership concentration and earnings management (Ding et al., 2007). It would be interesting to investigate the impact of different levels of state ownership on earnings quality. Practical implications As the paper investigates the role of state ownership on earnings quality using a sample of European firms, it brings new insights regarding the role of state ownership in accounting quality and firm performance. In addition, it considers the role of capital markets in the relation between the quality of financial reporting and ownership by considering a sample with both public and private firms. Originality/value The study contributes to the debate about state intervention in the corporate sector, by extending the knowledge of the effects of government ownership on earnings quality by using a large sample of European firms. Furthermore, the authors also introduce the effect of capital market forces on managers’ behavior in state-owned and non-state-owned companies by analyzing private and publicly listed firms.

This research aims to examine the related effects of financial literacy and risk attitudes towards investor behavior in the Indonesian capital market with the motive of saving as a mediating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach and partial least squares- structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test hypotheses. The research data was obtained from 110 questionnaires distributed to capital market investors in Indonesia using the purposive sampling method. The results of this study indicate that financial literacy, risk attitude and saving motives have positive and significant effects on investor behavior in the Indonesian capital market. The influence of financial literacy and risk attitude also has a positive and significant effect on saving motives. However, the motive for saving money cannot mediate the effect of financial literacy and risk attitude on investor behavior. Theoretically, the implications of the results of this study are the level of financial literacy, risk attitude, and saving motives can directly influence investor behavior. The higher the financial literacy, the better the attitude in facing investment risk and the greater the motive for saving, the better the investor's behavior in making investment decisions. Whereas in practical terms, this implication is used as input for investors to further increase financial literacy, pay attention to the level of risk of selected investments, and enlarge the motives for saving so that the purpose of investing can be achieved well.

This study examines the preventive measures that can be taken by the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) in their capacity as an SRO in response to capital market infractions. The main role of IDX is as a provider of facilities and infrastructure in capital market activities. Nonetheless, as a self- regulatory organization (SRO) IDX has additional role as regulator of the capital markets with limited authority. This study found that IDX was quite consistent in upholding the legislation in the field of capital markets. However, compliance level of the exchange members is still quite low. Penelitian ini meneliti langkah-langkah pencegahan pelanggaran dan kejahatan pasar modal yang dapat diambil oleh BEI dalam kapasitasnya sebagai SRO. Peran utama BEI adalah sebagai penyedia sarana dan prasarana dalam kegiatan kepasarmodalan. Meskipun demikian, sebagai self-regulatory organization(SRO) BEI mempunyai peran tambahan sebagai regulator pasar modal dengan kewenangan terbatas dalam menetapkan peraturan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa BEI telah cukup konsisten dalam menegakkan peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang pasar modal. Akan tetapi tingkat kepatuhan anggota bursa dapat dikatakan masih cukup rendah.

Undoubtedly, capital markets have an impact on investment appraisal decisions through interest rates (cost of capital) charged and debt covenants stipulated in debt contracts. However, the extent of influence of their interactions in shaping and determining a firm’s corporate governance policy, agency costs, investment decisions and firm value has been overlooked or not duly emphasised in the literature to date. This lack of interdisciplinary research in areas such as finance, accounting, capital markets and corporate governance may lead financial managers making wrong interpretation of the current empirical evidence. This may result into suboptimal decisions in capital budgeting decisions. There are various existing studies that have discussed the relation between corporate governance and one or two other business topics this paper is assessing. However, questions have persisted about the role capital markets’ interactions play in determining firm’s corporate governance, minimizing agency costs, long term investment decisions and firm value. The recent high profile global company collapses mainly due to poor corporate governance mechanisms have rekindled the interest in the role capital market interactions play in formulating firm’s corporate governance rules and policies and their impact on agency costs, investment appraisal decisions and firm value. This study intends to assess this issue and critically evaluates these related issues. The impact of multiple objectives on long-term investment decisions is also discussed. We find that capital market interactions have a significant impact in the way firms formulate their corporate governance, identify and control agency costs, optimize multiple objectives, make investment decisions and determine firm value. In a nutshell, there is a consensus among researchers that capital markets impact on capital investment decisions and firm value through interest rates, debt covenants that impact on managers’ self-interest behaviour, corporate governance policies and agency costs.

I am hesitant to speak on the role of ijtihiid in an Islamic capital market,because this topic requires understanding two important but difficultareas whose primary sources are in different languages. The first area isijtihiid which is connected withfiqh issues; the majority of its sources arein Arabic. The second area is economics which is connected with theanalysis of capital markets; the majority of its sources are in Europeanlanguages. Linking ethics and economics is necessary but difficult.Necessary, because every economic choice has a spiritual dimension.Difficult, because secular economics severs the link, by reducing valuesto tastes and arguing that different ethical values do not change themethod of choice. Therefore, properly linking ijtihiid and economics is adifficult task, requiring determined effort to refute the secular separationof ethics and economics. I spent over 100 hours thinking, reading, andanalyzing the essential points of both until I could establish commonground between them.Ijtihad is of central importance in usul al-fiqh, and concerns themethod of implementing the spirit of the sacred texts in any environment.Since the third century A.H., ijtihd has been the main theme ofdialog between the different schools of fiqh. To this day scholars debatethe issue.Economics is an important science in our time, influencing severalother sciences. Since the capital market is a significant topic in economics,it is important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of the neoclassicalanalysis of capital markets' in developing an Islamic capitalmarket. We must also understand the history of economic thought, howcapital markets became an important part of it, and why many ...
