Abstract

This study examines the role of aggressive investing strategy on firm performance for a sample of 514 listed firms in Malaysia from 2010 to 2017. In our first objective, we investigate the investing activism effect on firm performance by simultaneously controlling the firm characteristics and industry in our model. Our second objective is to test whether aggressive investing activism affects firm performance. Lastly, we want to investigate whether this aggressive investing may produce different results with different measures of performance. Our findings show that investment has significant effects on firm performance. Our research further indicates that companies with aggressive investing strategies had a better firm performance than compared to its peers. We test this theory using three different measures of aggressive investing strategies and substantiate this conclusion. Our research confirms the resource-based view theory and empirically proves that aggressive investments would result in better firm performance.JEL Classification: C23, D21, G31, L25DOI: https://doi.org/10.26905/jkdp.v23i3.3069

Abstract

This is an empirical study on the inluences of moon on seven stock markets, which are Indonesia, Malaysia, United Kingdom, United States, Philippines, Japan, and Thailand. The period is from January 1999 until December 2009 in daily basis. This study investigates the relationship between moon phase and market returns. We divided moon phases into new moon and full moon. While literature mention the relationship between moon phase and market returns, our research reject the null hypothesis in regression analysis. However, the descriptive catches the indication and conirmed previous research. It also proposes that the market is still rational and not moon-mood inluenced. This result is not contending the EMH theorem. Further research is needed in term of investigating the relationship between psychology factors (heuristic bias, information ignorance, and other factors) and investor behavior. The effect of moon on certain anomalies has to examine speciically.

Abstract

Research Aims: This research aims to examine the effects of increased levels of herding on abnormal returns during rare events.Design/Methodology/Approach: Time series regression including all stocks across 9 sectors in the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 1997 to 2020, totaling 5,615 observations is used. The primary model is predicated on three factors derived from Fama-French and prospect theory to incorporate herding as a primary risk factor in assessing the impact of on abnormal returns during rare events.Research Results: The results show that various events produce impacts on herding behavior across different sectors. During bearish market conditions, this behavior manifests significant negative effect leading to greater abnormal returns. Conversely, positive and significant anti-herding behavior is observed in bullish market conditions. Rare events do not necessarily induce herding behavior but may lead to anti-herding behavior.Theoretical Contribution/Originality: In this research, the variables are developed from the Efficient Market Hypothesis, Capital Asset Pricing Model, prospect theory, and market integration theory. The estimation model is grounded in prospect theory and the contribution addresses the research gaps.Practitioners/Policy Implications: The provision of insights to stakeholders in the capital market regarding the impact of rare events on financial behaviors influences investors' decision-making processes in stock investments.Research Limitations/Implications: The measurement of herding refers to Chang et al. (2000) due to the availability of aggregate data from the Indonesian Stock Exchange. Comprehensive micro-level data is not unavailable and the accessibility of complete micro-level data can be conducted. The presence of these data in the capital markets of other countries should be investigated.

Abstract

Introduction/Main Objectives: Based on the upper echelons theory, this research examines the role of startup founders' characteristics on startup funding performance (SFP). This study considers the founder's experience, education, and gender as the characteristics that positively affect the SFP. Background Problems: While academia and industry emphasize the importance of startup funding performance (SFP), the empirical evidence on its determinant has received less attention. Yet, upper echelons theory addresses the importance of a leader's characteristics in increasing the organization's performance. Therefore, the current study focuses on investigating the role of startup founders' characteristics in the SFP. Novelty: The current study proposes the founder's characteristics as the key factor for startup funding. Unlike previous studies, this study utilized a survey design to answer the research question. Additionally, this study is the pioneer for entrepreneurial finance studies in gauging the upper-echelons framework. Research Methods: This research collected information from 228 Indonesian Startups through a survey. The estimation model is estimated using robust cross-sectional OLS regression and logistic regression. For robustness purposes, this study tackles the endogeneity issue by using two-stage least squares (TSLS) and PLS-SEM. Finding/Results: The regression results (including the two-stage least square approach) reveal that education and gender play a significant role in SFP but not experience. Moreover, it shows that higher education would increase a startup's probability of having better funding. Meanwhile, male entrepreneurs have lower funding performance than women entrepreneurs. Conclusion: Our study surmises that the education of the founders is crucial for startup financing in Indonesia. It also shows that the experience of founders has a trivial effect. It supports the upper echelons theory, emphasizing the pivotal role of founders' characteristics in entrepreneurial finance. Policy-wise, focusing on education can enhance startup success while addressing gender disparities is crucial. However, limitations exist, suggesting the need for longitudinal studies and broader sample sizes. Future research could explore managerial abilities and cultural factors, offering fresh insights into the literature.
