Abstract

Purpose: The study examines the impact of CEO demographics on corporate cash holdings in the Indonesian banking industry, focusing on CEO tenure, age, education, and gender. The study considers how regulatory constraints, firm characteristics, and macroeconomic factors shape corporate liquidity decisions. Method: Using data from 46 banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2004 to 2022, this study analyzes 637 firm-year observations. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression model assesses the relationship between CEO demographics and cash holdings, incorporating firm-specific and macroeconomic control variables such as firm size, leverage, working capital, inflation, and GDP growth. Findings: The result reveals that CEO tenure negatively affects corporate cash holdings, suggesting that longer-tenured CEOs may optimize liquidity management rather than hold excess cash. CEO education positively influences cash holding, reflecting a stronger understanding of financial management and risk mitigation. In contrast, CEO age shows an insignificant effect, implying that experience and strategic priorities may matter more than age alone. Female CEOs exhibit a negative influence on cash holdings, possibly due to a more cautious financial approach or external governance expectations. Novelty: The study contributes to the literature on corporate liquidity by integrating CEO demographic factors with firm-specific and macroeconomic contexts. It extends the application of the upper echelons theory in a highly regulated sector, demonstrating how leadership traits influence cash management decisions. The research offers valuable insights for regulators, investors, and corporate boards in evaluating CEO profiles when assessing financial policies and risk management strategies.

Abstract

Purpose: The study examines the effect of earnings management on firm value and investigates whether tax avoidance moderates this relationship in the context of the Indonesian capital market. The research is motivated by concerns about financial transparency and corporate credibility in emerging markets, where weak enforcement and managerial discretion often influence investor confidence. Method: The study uses panel data of 3,835 firm-year observations from non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2010–2022. Samples were selected through purposive sampling based on data completeness and reporting consistency. Multiple regression analysis is employed to test the proposed hypotheses. Findings:  The result reveals that earnings management significantly reduces firm value, confirming that discretionary financial reporting practices weaken market confidence. Meanwhile, tax avoidance does not strengthen this negative effect, indicating that investors view tax minimization independently from earnings management behavior. Novelty: The study provides empirical evidence from an emerging market showing that tax avoidance does not amplify the adverse market perception of earnings management. The findings emphasize that investor responses in Indonesia are shaped more by earnings quality than tax strategies.
