AbstractThe practice of transfer pricing is mostly carried out by multinational companies that want high profits through tax avoidance. in addition, bonus giving is also one of the motivations for obtaining high profits. This study aims to examine the effect of tax and bonus mechanisms on the company's decision to conduct transfer pricing. The research population used in this study were manufacturing companies listed on the IDX (Indonesia Stock Exchange) period 2013 - 2017 which amounted to 142 companies and research samples totaling 23 companies using purposive sampling method. The analysis technique used in this study used logistic regression analysis. The results of the research partially indicate that tax has a significant effect on transfer pricing and the bonus mechanism has a significant effect on transfer pricing. The impact of transfer pricing has the potential to harm state revenues in the taxation sector, because companies will divert their taxable profits to countries that have lower tax rates. AbstrakPraktik transfer pricing mayoritas dilakukan oleh perusahaan multinasional yang menginginkan laba tinggi melalui penghindaran pajak. selain itu, pemberian bonus juga merupakan salah satu motivasi untuk mendapatkan laba yang tinggi.

We use daily data for the period 25th November 1985 to 10th March 2020 to analyze the impact of newspapers-based measures of geopolitical risks (GPRs) on United States (US) Treasury securities by considering the level, slope and curvature factors derived from the term structure of interest rates of maturities covering 1 to 30 years. No evidence of predictability of the overall GPRs (or for threats and acts) is detected using linear causality tests. However, evidence of structural breaks and nonlinearity is provided by statistical tests performed on the linear model, which indicates that the Granger causality cannot be relied upon, as they are based on a misspecified framework. As a result, we use a data-driven approach, specifically a nonparametric causality-in-quantiles test, which is robust to misspecification due to regime changes and nonlinearity, to reconsider the predictive ability of the overall and decomposed GPRs on the three latent factors. Moreover, the zero lower bound situation, visible in our sample period, is captured by the lower quantiles, as this framework allows us to capture the entire conditional distribution of the three factors. Using this robust model, we find overwhelming evidence of causality from the GPRs, with relatively stronger effects from threats than acts, for the entire conditional distribution of the three factors, with higher impacts on medium- and long-run maturities, i.e., curvature and level factors, suggesting the predictability of the entire US term structure based on information contained in GPRs. Our results have important implications for academics, investors and policymakers.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to enhance the readers’ understanding of the domain of talent management and employee engagement, and how the former culminates in the latter, specifically as a tool for retention of employees. The paper also attempts to probe and aid readers in understanding of the domain of talent management and employee engagement, specifically as a tool for retention of employees. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on secondary research in the areas of talent management practices, employee engagement and talent retention. The authors have reviewed the existing body of work on these topics in order to arrive at an analysis of the practice of talent management and employee engagement and to successively measure its impact on the retention of employees. In order to aid the endeavor to bring some clarity to and explore the trends in talent management, the authors have based this paper on a systematic review of the existing literature which seeks to examine the modern thought process and evidence. Current examples are drawn from many leading companies and their practices are emphasized for better understanding. Various drivers responsible for engaging and retaining talent are studied by reviewing the existing literature. After analyzing the existing literature, the authors have arrived at talent retention and engagement practices that may aid and assist industry practitioners and policy makers in designing and implementing successful talent management initiatives. The authors have proposed a model for arriving at improved retention from talent management practices. Findings One of the most effective tools in ensuring that employees stay engaged and committed to their work is talent management. This sense of engagement or commitment toward their work ensures in turn that these employees stay with the organization in the long run. As the authors have begun analyzing the costs associated with recruitment, selection and the opportunity cost related to attrition, organizations have been concentrating their talent management efforts in the direction of retention. The paper concludes that a synchronization of talent management practices and employee engagement initiatives leads to improved talent retention and proposes a model to this end. Research limitations/implications Owing to the fact that the paper is conceptual, the model and hypotheses the authors arrive at must be empirically tested by relevant stakeholders in the organization, specifically the stakeholders specializing in the area of talent management, in order to add further weight to the literature. Practical implications Derived from an extensive study of current and impending talent management strategies, the findings may aid organizations and policy makers to develop and refine talent management practices in order to engage human capital, with the ulterior aim of talent retention – a concern that plagues most contemporary organizations. Originality/value Preempting or preventing attrition is a priority in several organizations, and more often, in some industries as a whole. The authors examine how talent management practices can contribute to the efforts in preempting or preventing attrition in organizations. Adding to the existing literature on talent management, the paper explores the areas of talent management which directly affect employee engagement and in turn make a difference in talent retention. This link connecting talent management practices with retention deserves a greater amount of investigation, which the paper explores.

This article examines the impact of Poguba Dagar Susu Langmo- Women’s Box Savings Groups (WBSGs), is a self-help financial tool capable of reducing women poverty and food insecurity in the rural areas of the Upper West Region of Ghana. A survey methodology is used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data from 120 respondents in ten villages, who are all members of WBSGs. The paper establishes that, all the women who participate in WBSGs are able to feed their households at least one meal day, which was not possible.  This article confirms that, most of the women could meet their daily basic needs and even effort for their wards school fees. The findings reveal that, though WBSGs is an effective micro-financial tool, they can never purchase any productive assets such as land or cattle to serve as future collateral. The paper concluded that, chauvinism and gender part obligation for which the reproductive effort inside the home is to womanhood and the main income realizing obligation to menfolk should be scrapped, and recommend that, the long-run solution to this chronic poverty and cyclical food shortage in the area, is to intensify all children education, especially the female child

The present study investigates the short- and long-run relationships between Jordan’s aggregate import demand function and its macroeconomic determinants, in addition to remittances. The study employs the autoregressive distributed lagged (ARDL) model to estimate the import function over the period 1975–2016. The preliminary statistical tests, the ADF test, confirmed that none of the variables is integrated of order 2, while the bounds testing provided evidence of the existence of a long-run equilibrium relationship between the included variables. Moreover, the diagnostic tests showed that the estimated model is free of the statistical problems. The long-run results indicated that remittances, inflation rate, and investment have a direct relationship with imports, whereas the import price index and FDI have a negative relationship. Based on these results, the study suggests that policymakers implement inflation reduction policies, increase the level of economic activities, and promote remittances inflows since they are mostly directed to investment.
