This study investigated the effect of cash flow optimality on investment returns in selected listed Manufacturing companies in Nigeria. The population consisted of listed 66 manufacturing companies on the Nigerian Stock Exchange. 25 of these manufacturing companies were purposively selected for a period of 10 years (2010-2019). The study employed data obtained from the published financial statement of the selected manufacturing companies. Panel data analysis was employed while diagnostic tests were carried out and an application of the Hausman test provided the criteria for choosing between Random Effect Models and Fixed Effect Models. Jarque-Bera Normality, Breusch, and Pagan Lagrangian multiplier tests were conducted to confirm the Hausman test results in order to decide between Random Effects and Pooled OLS. The study found that cash flow optimality had a positive statistically significant on return on assets, AdjR2 = 0.099; Wad-chi2 (4, 245) = 22.22; P-value = 0.000). Furthermore, the study revealed that cash flow optimality exhibited a positive statistical effect on Tobin’s Q, (AdjR2 = 0.130; F (4, 245) = 2.884; P-value = 0.025). Thus, the study recommended that since the essence of investment is the expected returns, managers of manufacturing companies should ensure that all strategic decisions are channeled towards this direction, and ensure efficient resources management and cash flow optimal management towards meeting investor returns expectations.

This study investigated the effect of operational risk on equity returns of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs), using a population consisted of 19 listed deposit money banks in the Nigeria Stock Exchange. 15 DMBs were purposively selected for a period of 15 years 2005 to 2019. Descriptive and inferential statistics were explored for the data analysis which was sourced from the published financial statements of the banks, using dynamic and static panel data. Diagnostics tests were carried out since the application of the Hausman test provided the criteria for choosing between Random Effect Models and Fixed Effect Models. Breusch and Pagan Lagrangian multiplier test was employed to confirm the Hausman test results in order to decide between Random Effects and Pooled OLS. Correlation Matrix for multicollinearity test and cross-sectional dependent test were equally carried out for the study. Three models were estimated, based on the three proxies of the dependent variable. The study found that operational risk had a statistically positive significant effect on return on equity (ROE), while operational risk equally exhibited statistically positive significant effect on ROA. When the controlling variable of FSIZE was introduced, the study exhibited stronger effects which demonstrates that operational risk had a statistically positive effect on ROE, while operational risk with FSIZE had a statistically positive effect on ROA. The study recommends that DMBs managers should carefully carry out due diligence on loan applicants, to ascertain performance trend and creditworthiness of potential and prospective borrowers before advancing loans in order to reduce huge profiles of credit risk exposures.

The study aims to examine the relationship between corporate ownership structure and capital structure of BSE listed manufacturing firms in India. The study has included the sample of 357 companies which covers 16 major sectors during the period of 2006–2015. Considering the dynamic panel nature of the data relating to the capital structure and the ownership structure variables. The analysis undertakes a novel approach of examining the determinants both single equation and reduced equation models. In order to determine the most appropriate model, based on the F test, the Breusch Pagan LM test and finally the Hausman Test is conducted. The Hausman test result has been estimated by the fixed effect model is better than the other two models such as pooled OLS and random effect estimation. Based on the fixed effects results, size, risk and profitability have a highly significant relationship with leverage. Meanwhile, the growth opportunities and tangibility represent insignificant values. The study found that the explanatory variables of the promoters’ ownership and the institutional ownership have a negative impact on leverage, while the corporate ownership has a positive influence on the capital structure decision. The individual or public ownership has a negative and significantly related to the capital structure, whereas the effect of the foreign ownership inversely related to the firm’s leverage.
