Based on data of all listed insurance companies in Jordan over the period of 2008-2018, the study investigates the effect of chairman of the board of directors (chair) and chief executive officer (CEO) age variation on risk-taking behavior via different chair-CEO age variation proxies. Risk-taking behavior is measured by total risk, a proxy set up on the market’s risk perception. Thus, the study finds evidence that the chair-CEO age variation tends to decrease risk-taking practice in Jordan’s insurance companies, only if a generation gap exists. It doesn’t matter whether the chair or CEO is older. These results are consistent with Goergen, Limbach, and Scholz (2015) and Zhou, Kara, and Molyneux (2019). Different robustness tests (CEO-firm fixed effect, random effect, and dynamic panel estimation) confirm results. Overall, this study contributes to corporate governance literature; thus, enhancing the internal corporate governance mechanism is essential. Finally, it has a practical implication for stakeholders, policymakers, and researchers.

Purpose: In the developing country like Pakistan the agency problem may have different dimensions as it may not only be among the ownership and the management but also regarding the expropriation of the corporate profits by the largest shareholder at the cost of the many small shareholders.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh Corporate Governance terhadap Risk Taking Behaviour pada Bank Umum Syariah di Indonesia periode 2012-2019. Teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis regresi data panel menggunakan software Eviews 9 dengan metode purposive sampling. Corporate Governance diukur dengan proporsi perempuan (direktur, dewan pengawas syariah, komite audit, komite pemantau risiko), proporsi Independensi (komisaris independen dan komite audit independen) dan proporsi Keahlian Keuangan (direksi, dewan pengawas syariah dan komite audit), sedangkan untuk Risk Taking Behaviour diukur menggunakan Z-score. Hasil olah data menunjukkan bahwa independensi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan, gender diversity pada direksi dan komite audit dan pemantau risiko berpengaruh positif dan signifikan, sementara dewan pengawas syariah perempuan berpengaruh negative signifikan.  Keahlian keuangan komite audit berpengaruh positif signifikan, sementara pada direksi dan dewan pengawas syariah berpengaruh positif tetapi tidak signifikan.

This paper primarily examines both causality effect of banks’ capital regulation and risk-taking behavior based on generalized methods of moment (GMM) for a dynamic unbalanced panel observation of 32 commercial banks in Bangladesh over the period 2000–2014. The empirical findings of this study suggest that capital regulation has a significant effect on risk-taking behavior, and excessive risks impede the growth of capital ratio as well as the stability. Moreover, from bank-level data, size does not uniformly affect the quantity of capital and risk. Large banks have poor capital ratio and higher inclination to risk than small size counterpart. Small size banks are well managed in capital ratio and risk-taking that glitter their stability through the periods. Besides these effects, corporate governance notably influenced banks to reduce credit risk and enhance stability. Finally, this paper provides some implications for the think tanks and stakeholders of the country.

Abstract. Gender and personality traits influence risk proneness in the context of financial decisions. However, most studies on this topic have relied on either self-report data or on artificial measures of financial risk-taking behavior. Our study aimed to identify relevant trading behaviors and personal characteristics related to trading success. N = 108 Caucasians took part in a three-week stock market simulation paradigm, in which they traded shares of eight fictional companies that differed in issue price, volatility, and outcome. Participants also completed questionnaires measuring personality, risk-taking behavior, and life stress. Our model showed that being male and scoring high on self-directedness led to more risky financial behavior, which in turn positively predicted success in the stock market simulation. The total model explained 39% of the variance in trading success, indicating a role for other factors in influencing trading behavior. Future studies should try to enrich our model to get a more accurate impression of the associations between individual characteristics and financially successful behavior in context of stock trading.
