This study examines whether the premiums paid to targets firms are affected by bidder CEO overconfidence, merger waves, method of payment, industry of merged firms, and capital liquidity. Using merger data for the period spanning from 1991 to 2000, this study finds that CEOs pay less premiums in cash mergers and pay more premiums for mergers undertaken during the year of high capital liquidity. Moreover, the findings also demonstrate that CEOs tend to pay higher merger premiums for mergers that occur during merger waves and in high capital liquidity year. CEOsâ behavior, which is the main variable examined in this study, does not show any significant effect on the premiums paid. This suggests that the effect of CEO overconfidence on the premiums paid may be exaggerated.

This study examines whether biddersâ post-merger operat-ing performance are affected by their CEO behavior, premiumspaid to the target firms, the period of mergers, the method ofpayment, the industry of merged firms, capital liquidity, andtheir pre-merger operating performance. Testing the U.S. suc-cessful merger and acquisition data for the period of 1990s, thisstudy finds that in-wave mergers, intra-industry mergers, thepayment of lower premiums, and better pre-merger operatingperformance drive the bidders to produce better post-mergeroperating performance. Three measures of CEO behaviorâthemain predictor scrutinezed in this studyâare proposed andexamined, and the results demonstrate that the effects of thesemeasures on post-merger operating performance are mixed,suggesting that each of the behavioral measures designed in thisstudy may capture CEO behavior in different ways.Keywords: capital liquidity; CEO overconfidence; merger waves, method of pay-ment operating performance

This study reexamines whether the occurrence of merger waves can be explained by the neoclassical hypothesis or the behavioral hypothesis. Using merger data for the period spanning 1990 through 2001, this study directly compares the two theories and finds that, in general, merger waves occur at the time the capital liquidity is high, firmsâ stocks are overvalued, and deregulatory events exist. These suggest that the existence of an economic motivation for transactions and the availability of lower transaction cost and/or overvalued stock to generate large volume of transactions may cause industry merger waves to cluster in time

This paper examines whether both basic earnings per share (BEPS) and diluted earnings per share (DEPS) have the potential to provide financial statement users with information that is useful for improving their decision making. It also explores the potential for BEPS and DEPS to function as useful input information in predictive decision models or in ranking‑decision models. This research is based on a study undertaken by DeBerg and Murdoch (1994) that examines the usefulness of EPS disclosure. The methodology of this research is modeled out based on theirs to test the same objects in an Australian setting. In addition, this study examines the effects of disclosure of both variations of EPS have on the market capitalization of firms. This study utilises the disclosures of listed firms in ASX over a four-year period. The results indicate that BEPS and DEPS contain essentially the same information and that disclosing both is superfluous. Since BEPS and DEPS, as well as price‑earnings (P/E) ratios computed using BEPS and DEPS are very highly correlated, it is quite improbable these data could be utilized as separate independent variables in a predictive decision model. Furthermore, ranking firms by price per basic earnings ratio (P/BE) and price per diluted earnings ratio (P/DE) results only in insignificant reordering.

This study examines the effect of CEOs' behavior (overconfidence/ less overconfidence), merger period (in-wave/non-wave), method of payment (stock/cash), industry of merged firm (across-industry/ within-industry), premium paid to target firm, and operating performance on the likelihood of a CEO turnover amongst bidding firms. Testing the US successful merger and acquisition data for the period of the 1990s, this study finds that the effect of merger waves and the method of payment on CEO turnover are positive and significant. Three measures of CEO behavior proposed and tested in this study, however, generally have insignificant effect on CEO turnover.

This study examines and analyses the effect of overconfidence, herding effect, and disposition effect bias on investment decisions mediated by risk perception and moderated by financial literacy. The sample for this study uses 184 investors from 19 provinces in Indonesia using a purposive sampling technique. Regression partial least squares test the hypothesis with the Warp-PLS application version. The study's results found that overconfidence bias does not affect risk perception. Herding effect bias and disposition bias have positive effects on risk perception. Risk perception has a positive effect on investment decisions. Risk perception fully mediates the relationship between disposition effect bias on investment decisions. However, risk perception does not mediate the relationship between overconfidence bias and herding effect bias on investment decisions. Meanwhile, financial literacy must moderate the relationship between risk perception and investment decisions. The implication of the study is expected to assist the Financial Services Authority in increasing investors' financial literacy in the capital market.

This study investigates the relationship between Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices and financial performance among publicly traded companies in an emerging market context. Using a comprehensive dataset of the complete universe of 85 Indonesian listed companies with formal ESG assessments from 2021-2023, we examine how ESG adoption influences financial metrics while controlling for firm-specific characteristics. Our analysis employs a matched sample design comparing these 85 ESG- adopting firms with 170 carefully selected non-ESG counterparts to isolate the impact of sustainability practices. Results from panel data regression with fixed effects reveal that ESG adoption significantly enhances return on equity (ROE) by 2.76 percentage points and return on assets (ROA) by 1.54 percentage points. Among ESG firms, lower ESG risk scores correlate with superior performance, with negligible low- risk firms (combined) outperforming severe-risk firms by 6.03 percentage points in ROE. The relationship is moderated by firm size and financial leverage, with larger, less leveraged firms capturing greater ESG benefits. These findings support the business case for sustainability in emerging markets where ESG adoption remains limited (approximately 11% of listed companies), suggesting early adopters capture significant performance premiums
