Banks and Insurance Companies Preferences for Firm Specific Attributes: A Study of Indian Equity Market

The present study aimed to assess the significant firm-specific attributes as important determinants of Banks and Insurance companies (BIC) shareholding. Quarterly values of shareholding for selected shares were regressed upon quarterly values of firmspecific attributes. The significant firm-specific attributes were found to be the age of the company, debt-equity ratio, price to book ratio, net profits, and the issue of ADR/GDR by the company. The most important among these company attributes according to standardized regression coefficients were found to be an issue of ADR/GDR followed by net profits. When cross-section regression was applied for 31 sequential quarters, the regression equation was significant statistically in 32.25 percent, with an R average of 2 91.29 percent.

This research is aimed to knowing and analyzing the effect of the cash position, debt to equity ratio, return on asset and firm size to divident payout ratio. The type of data used in this study is pool data which is a combination time series, and cross section. panel data regression anlaysis test, election panel data reression estimation techniques, heteroscedasticity test, regression model analysis, and regression model testin and regression coefficients. The result showed that the partial debt to equity ratio and firm size no significantly influence the divident payout ratio, while the cash position, return on asset significantly influence the divident payout ratio. Simultaneously, cash position, debt to equity ratio, return on asset and firm size variable have a significant to divident payout ratio.

AbstractThe area of individual leaves in oil palm has been conventionally estimated from a regression equation that is based on the size and number of leaflets. The aim of the present study is to verify the accuracy of this equation, which became standard in oil palm research. Therefore, true leaf area, measured with a video camera, was estimated from the product of number of leaflets per leaf (n) with mean length (l) times mid-width (w) of six of the longest leaflets (nlw). The database was assembled, annually for the first 4 years after planting, from 2961 leaves of dura × pisifera testcrosses descending from six distinct pisifera origins. The regression coefficients of the regression lines of nlw plotted against true area did not show a trend with age of the palms or a difference among pisifera origins. The common regression equation fitted through all data of this study accurately estimated true leaf area of the testcrosses and also the areas of 2- to 3.5-year-old dura palms of three distinct origins as well as 18-year-old tenera palms. These outcomes are at odds with the conventional regression equation that overestimates the true leaf areas by about 24%. A more recently-developed variant underestimates true area of the young tenera and dura palms by 28%, while overestimating true area of old tenera palms by 19%. Possible causes for these deviations from true area are discussed. The paper argues that parameters depending on leaf area of previous physiological studies need to be reassessed.

Anti-crisis analytical procedures the financial stability of trade enterprises (hereinafter – AP FS) are part of the internal financial audit of economic activity. The system of financial monitoring is practically acceptable for the implementation of AP FS. The developed classification allows to determine the ability of the enterprise to implement AP FS. An analytical method has been developed that allows, based on the analysis of the financial condition and multivariate forecast, to develop measures to ensure the financial stability of the trade enterprise continuously. By interpolation, the study of the current financial situation, and extrapolation – a multivariate forecast, the numerical value of the integrated (complex) indicator that characterizes financial stability is determined by the regression equation, including factors listed in the classification, the significance of which is determined by regression equations. Based on the analysis of the numerical values of the regression coefficients, it is possible to determine the most important factors that affect the financial stability of trade enterprises, and those that have almost no effect on it. Components with significantly small numerical values of the regression coefficients can be generally discarded. This will reduce the number of indicators that affect financial stability and thus, you can reduce the number of components in the regression equation to the two three most important, which allows you to solve the problem of optimization. The expediency of using integrated and complex indicators is shown. The obtained results are only an information basis for the economic administration of the trade enterprise in making management decisions, the formation of long-term plans. The developed approaches to assessing the financial stability of enterprises are universal and can be used for enterprises in other sectors of the economy.

To study the relationships between leaf nitrogen and the reproductive potential of diamondback moth, all reproductive parameters of this pest raised on two canola cultivars were evaluated. A standardized regression coefficient (<em>&beta;</em>) was used as an index for nitrogen-reproduction relationship strength. The only difference between net fecundity rate and net fertility rate is <em>h<sub>x</sub></em>&rsquo;s effect, but the difference in their standardized regression coefficients was not significant [<em>&beta;</em>=+0.934 (R<sup>2</sup>=0.87, F<sub>1,4</sub>=27.34, P=0.006) and <em>&beta;</em>=+0.922 (R<sup>2</sup>=0.85, F<sub>1,4</sub>=22.825, P=0.009)]. Accordingly, gross fecundity rate and gross fertility rate differ only in <em>h<sub>x</sub></em>&rsquo;s effect, but the difference in standardized regression coefficients again was not significant [<em>&beta;</em>=0.895 (R<sup>2</sup>=0.8, F<sub>1,4</sub>=16.159, P=0.016)-0.890 (R<sup>2</sup>=0.79, F<sub>1,4</sub>=15.266, P=0.017)=0.005]. As gross fecundity rate differs from net fecundity rate only in midpoint survivorship (<em>L<sub>x</sub></em>)&rsquo;s effect, it is understood that survivorship could affect the plant nitrogen&ndash;fecundity relation considerably (standardized coefficients difference=0.044) and could be a critical parameter in insectplant interactions. But, the terms of reproductive parameters, <em>i.e. L<sub>x</sub> </em>and <em>h<sub>x</sub></em>, showed the same effect on the strength of nitrogen-fecundity regression statistically, even though <em>L<sub>x</sub></em> has been selected frequently by many researchers as an important fitness correlate. Measuring the hatch rate could be recommended in trophic interactions studies due to its being easier to apply, more robust, and quicker to accomplish than measurement of survivorship; however, it is important as an indicator in combination with brood size for determining the initial population size of an insect herbivore.

Abstract This paper compares the prices charged and the quality of service provided by state monopolies and private insurance companies on the property insurance market. Both the cross-section data from Switzerland and the time-series evidence from Germany strongly suggest that in this specific market the presence of state monopolies is very advantageous for the customers. This raises the question why German academic economists made practically no effort to defend their state insurance monopolies in the debate about the 3rd EU directive on property insurance. Is it possible that peer pressure prevents academic economists from standing up to defend state monopolies, even if these are clearly to the benefit of consumers?
