Thus, concluding that these companies were unable to pay all their obligation when they were due.

The study aims to seek the internal factors that affect the profitability of banks in Pakistan from a period of 2009 to 2013 by using two proxies i.e. Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE). The panel data of fifteen banks have been obtained from the financial statements of the banks. Therefore, Hausman test has verified that random effect model is most appropriate model for Return on Assets (ROA), conversely fixed effect model is prominent for Return on Equity (ROE) for the current study. The empirical results confirm that investment to total assets, leverage, Net Performing Loan (NPL) to gross advances, capital ratio and total deposits to total equity are the main determinants of profitability across both proxies (i.e. ROA and ROE). Leverage and capital ratio have significantly negative, however net performing loan to gross advance and total deposit to total equity have significantly positive influence on profitability of banks across both models. Moreover, NPL to gross advance is insignificant determinant of Return on Equity. The results are worthy for bankers and all stakeholders to make strategic decision for the competitiveness of banking sector in Pakistan.

The purpose of this paper is to examine how corporate governance instruments impact firm value in the context of Cambodian banks. This paper considers foreign and domestic-owned banks in Cambodia. This study opts for a balanced sample of foreign and domestic owned banks for the period 2014-2018. Panel data regression is adopted for estimation of main results. The suitable model, i.e. fixed and random effect model is selected using the Hausman specification test where the result shows that the random effect model using generalized least square (GLS) regression is more suitable for the analysis. The findings show that Cambodian banks are having a substantially higher percentage of NEDs on their board, high implementation of governance procedures on board committees where on average the banks are having more than the required two board committees (audit and risk committees) as required by the Prakas on the governance of banks by National Bank of Cambodia. The average board size is around 8 members of which at least 3 members are having a postgraduate degree or a professional qualification. Policymakers need to improve on their supervisory function as the majority of the domestic and some foreign banks do not disclose their annual reports on their company website as required by the Prakas on Corporate Governance of Banks operating in Cambodia. Moreover, amendments should be made to the current corporate governance code for financial institutions as there are no explanatory notes that guide companies and therefore, the current guideline is open to individual and subjective interpretation.

This study analyzes the effect of basic infrastructure development in the form of roads, electricity, education and health by the government on economic growth at the provincial level based on HDI groups namely provincial groups with high HDI and provincial groups with medium HDI. This study uses panel data composed of data across 32 provinces within the period of 2007-2014. Estimation is done by random effect model panel data regression analysis technique. The findings of this study are in high HDI provinces all forms of infrastructure are insignificant except educational infrastructure which has a significant negative effect, whereas in medium HDI provinces only health infrastructure that is not significant and only education infrastructure has a significant negative effect, other types of infrastructure such as roads, electricity and water have a significant positive effect. Based on these findings the prioritization of infrastructure development in relatively lagging regions is not only supporting the equitable distribution of economic growth but also the most efficient form of budget allocation for infrastructure development.   Abstrak Penelitian ini menganalisis pengaruh pembangunan infrastruktur dasar berupa jalan, listrik air, pendidikan dan kesehatan oleh pemerintah terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi di tingkat propinsi berdasar kelompok IPM Tinggi dan IPM Sedang. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data panel yang tersusun dari data lintas ruang 32 propinsi dalam periode tahun 2007-2014. Estimasi dilakukan dengan teknik analisis regresi data panel random effect model. Temuan hasil penelitian ini adalah di provinsi IPM tinggi seluruh infrastruktur tidak berpengaruh signifikan kecuali infrastruktur pendidikan yang signifikan dengan arah negatif, sementara di provinsi IPM sedang hanya infrastruktur kesehatan yang tidak signifikan dan hanya infrastruktur pendidikan yang signifikan negatif, jenis infrastruktur lain berupa jalan, listrik dan air memiliki pengaruh signifikan positif. Berdasar temuan tersebut maka pemberian prioritas pembangunan infrastruktur pada daerah yang relatif tertinggal selain mendukung pemerataan pertumbuhan ekonomi juga merupakan bentuk alokasi anggaran pembangunan infrastruktur yang paling efisien.

State-owned enterprises are government-owned businesses that have been privatized and can be close to politicians from political parties. They are also notorious for being poorly managed. The purpose of this research is to examine how political connections, institutional ownership, cash holdings, company size, and leverage affect the performance of state-owned enterprises on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The data for this study comes from the annual reports of 20 state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the IDX from 2014 to 2018. This research model is a panel regression model that tests the common effect, fixed-effect, and random effect models. Based on the Chow test and Hausman test, the best model in this study is the random effect model. The results found that political connections, institutional ownership, and cash holding are significant factors affecting the performance of state-owned companies. Another finding was that companies with stronger political connections affect the performance of state-owned companies. On the other hand, this study did not find companies having political connections affect the performance of state-owned companies. This finding is expected to provide benefits for investors to consider SOEs companies to invest.
