The matter of fiscal pressure is more current than ever in most countries around the world for various reasons. In the first place, disruptive phenomena such as financial crises put tremendous pressure on worldwide economies. Secondly, high taxes trigger an overall reduction in the level of investments aiming at creating stable and well-paid jobs. Thirdly, the income generated by the majority of taxpayers is subject to excessive taxation, which may fuel tax evasion acts. On these grounds, the article is the first empirical research investigating the impact of fiscal pressure on the financial equilibrium of energy companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The sample included 88 electricity, gas, and oil companies from around the world, which were analyzed over a time span of 16 years, including the periods before, during, and after the 2008 global financial crisis. The methodology entailed estimating econometric models via Panel Least Squares (cross-section weights) with and without time fixed effects. Empirical results showed that fiscal pressure had a stronger impact on the short-term and long-term equilibrium of electricity and oil companies than on the equilibrium of gas companies. The study can serve as a compass for the managers of energy companies interested in estimating the evolution of company equilibrium state when considering other potential financial downturns.

This paper aims to analyze the influencing factors on the financial structure of 51 companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange, in the technology industry, from 2005–2018. The objective is to see the impact of independent company-specific variables such as company size, tangibility of assets, growth opportunity, effective tax rate, current liquidity, depreciation, stock rotation, financial return, working capital, price to book value, price to earnings ratio, as well as the impact of governance variables and macroeconomic variables such as inflation rate, interest rate, market size, gross domestic product per capita. Using panel data and multiple linear regressions, we analyze the relationship between the independent variables listed above and the dependent variables, namely the total debt ratio, the long-term debt ratio and the short-term debt ratio. The results of the analysis showed that variables such as size, tangibility, liquidity, profitability have a significant influence on the dependent variables in accordance with the theories regarding the capital structure.

The effects of various market conditions of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on non-USA markets are investigated in this article. On the basis of an empirical investigation, evidence is presented which suggests that the influence of the NYSE on non-USA markets differs during different market conditions of the NYSE. For example, it was found that during declining market conditions on the NYSE the influence was greater on non-USA markets than during rising market conditions on the NYSE. A model designed to yield detailed risk statistics of individual non-USA securities was also implemented to investigate the impact of various market conditions of the NYSE.

Technological innovation is propelling the move in financial markets away from fractional trading and towards decimal trading, as in the example of The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) tick size changed from $1/16 to $0.01 on January 29, 2001. This chapter examines the impact of that trend as it relates to market quality and trading behaviour, and draws on comparisons between NYSE and NASDAQ, as well as evidence from other markets and market-traded securities, in demonstrating how decimalization leads to a decrease in the bid-ask spread and depth and an improvement in the probability of information-based trading, while having seemingly no effect on the frequency of limit orders. Our examination also demonstrates how the 1996 decimalization of the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX, formerly TSE) has had little impact on its giant competitor, NYSE.

The value of any stock market could change for several diverse reasons such as financial, economic and health. The value of the New York Stock Exchange market has reduced drastically in the first quarter of 2020 and expected to reduce further in the upcoming months, according to many economists (Ayittey et al., 2020; White, 2017). It will face a huge blow this year due to the appearance of the unexpected new virus (COVID-19). The New York Stock Exchange has fallen sharply for the first time in 23 years, causing a significant crash in consumer sentiment indexes, thereafter, decreasing the overall global stock market value (Financial Buzz, 2020). Such instances are rarely encountered, making investors to feel insecure and unsafe to make significant decisions about their investments. Together with these uncertainties and fears, many industries were badly affected and many other industries benefited from this global health crisis (Ayittey et al., 2020). Through this research paper, an exploration of the effects of COVID-19 on New York Stock Exchange market are done with support from expert opinions.

This paper discusses the circumstances in which the Accounting Principles Board (APB) issued Opinions 3 and 19, in 1963 and 1971, respectively, when the Board encouraged and then required companies to publish a statement of source and application of funds, known as the funds statement. In doing so, the Board both times lagged behind company practice and the views of influential organizations, including the New York Stock Exchange and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
