Abstract

There are two kinds of earnings management: accrual earnings management and real earnings management. This study aims to assess the effect of earnings management on earnings persistence and cost of equity on 155 firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2001-2010 periods. Analysis in this study uses the Panel Regression Fixed Effect method. The result shows that accrual and real earnings management do not weaken earnings persistence. Furthermore, it was found that accrual earnings management has a positive effect on the cost of equity. Conversely, earnings management through real activity manipulation has a negative effect on the cost of equity. These results may indicate that investors are already aware of a firm’s earnings management behaviors through discretionary accrual, but may still not be aware of the negative impact of earnings management through real activity manipulation.

Abstract

There has been an increasing interest in intellectual capital due to the shift from the economical aspect into knowledge and information management aspect. Currently, public firms in Indonesia are not required by accounting standards or law to disclose most of their intellectual capital. However, firms may voluntarily choose to disclose such information. This research aims to examine the level of voluntary intellectual capital disclosure and also the effect of intellectual capital disclosure in firm’s annual report on cost of equity and cost of debt. The sample used is technology- intensive industry listed firms year 2010. It shows that the level of intellectual capital disclosure in firm’s annual report is relatively still low with an average of 35.77%. It also shows that there is a negative effect between intellectual capital disclosure and cost of equity. However, intellectual capital disclosure does not have significant effect on cost of debt.

Abstract

Purposes: This study seeks to assess impacts of environmental innovation on firm performance through a sustainability lens in the ASEAN-5 member states. This study analyzes the effects of envi- ronmental initiatives on financial performance as well as the moderating effects of board length and board gender diversity on this nexus. Methods: This research utilizes panel data from Refinitiv Eikon for the years 2019-2025 along with sustainability reports and employs panel regression. To assess the reliability of results, quadratic tests and robustness tests are employed. Firm performance is assessed through two main indicators: Tobin’s Q and ROA. Findings: As a result of this study, environmental innovation, especially in the case of innovation in circular activities, such as waste management, positively impacts financial and market performance. This study has also shown that board tenure does not have a moderating impact. In contrast, board gender diversity has a positive, moderating impact once the critical mass of women on the board has been reached. Novelty: This study seeks to merge board tenure and board gender diversity in the sustainability and corporate governance integration in the ASEAN-5 countries. Unlike predecessors that examined the impacts in isolation, this study analyzes board composition as a key governance element in the context of environmental innovation and performance of environmental innovation efforts.
