We examined the presence of women directors in top-level management and their effect on principal-principal conflict (PP) and principal-agent conflict (PA) on the firms listed on Indian stock exchange using a panel model approach. For analysis purpose, this study covers the sample of 75 companies belonging to various industries and listed in Bombay Stock Exchange Index, has been studied over thirteen financial years, i.e. from year 2006 to year 2019. This study uses panel data analysis, i.e. fixed effect model and random effect model. The proportion and presence (dichotomous) of women directors on top level management board is taken as the independent variable. Principal-principal conflict measured by assets utilization ratio (AUR), and principal-agent conflict is been measured by dividend payout ratio (DPR), are taken as dependent variable in this study. The prime results of this study using panel data analysis, i.e. fixed effect (FE) and random effects (RE) estimation models point towards no significant impact of the female director (proportion and presence) on the firm’s agency cost (PP and PA).

The study aimed to emphasize the determinants of dividend policy in Sri Lankan firms. This study was conducted with 80 non - financial companies which were listed on Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE). The empirical research was focused on panel data analysis, and data was collected from annual reports for a five year period from 2013 to 2017. This study explored selected factors that influence dividend policy, including sales growth, leverage, firm size, profitability, EPS, liquidity, and risk. The panel data analysis employed pooled OLS, fixed - effect, and random - effect models. Based on the analysis, the fixed - effect model was thought to be the best fit for studying the factors that affect dividend policy. According to the outcome of fixed-effect model, among the seven input variables considered in this study, profitability, EPS, and risk were negatively linked to dividend policy. However, no significant relationship was found between dividend policy and sales growth, leverage, firm size, or liquidity. The findings contribute to the understanding that three parameters namely: profitability, EPS, and risk have been recognized as factors affecting dividend payouts in CSE’s listed companies. Hence, policymakers will be able to concentrate on the factors that influence shareholder wealth maximization. Keywords: profitability, EPS, risk, dividend payout

The objective of this study was to examine and compare the effects of corporate governance (CG) and intellectual capital (IC) between Malaysia Government-Linked Companies’ (M-GLCs) and Singapore Government-Linked Companies’ (S-GLCs) firm performance (FP). Panel data analysis was employed to analyse the impact of CG’s variables and IC’s variables on FP. FP was measured by Return on Total Assets (ROA), Tobin’s Q and Earnings Per Share (EPS). Data was gathered from the website of Bursa Malaysia and the Stock Exchange of Singapore from 2005 to 2018. The sample size of this research was 60 GLCs which comprised of 34 M-GLCs and 26 S-GLCs. There were a total 840 firm year observations. Results indicated that CGs of S-GLCs have greater impact on FP when compared to M-GLCs while the findings of the IC of M-GLCs have greater impact on FP compared to S-GLCs. This research was helpful in offering further insights of CG practices and IC efficiency to the Government, Board of Directors, policy makers, shareholders and stakeholders.

This work investigates the effects of Employee Stock Options Plans (ESOP) on the value of companies in the Brazilian Stock Exchange (BM&FBOVESPA). An ESOP is a mechanism of variable compensation, generally offered to executives, having the alignment of interests between managers and shareholders as one of its goals. To achieve this purpose, a panel data analysis was used in order to try measuring if the ESOP generated or not value to shareholders. The results show that there is evidence that the ESOP only generates wealth for shareholders when it is well-set, specifically when the exercise price is fixed at-money or out-of-money. An increase in the stock price is also achieved when companies adopt best practices of corporate governance and the ESOP by more than three years.
