Abstract

This research examines the impact of working capital management and the COVID-19 pandemic on the profitability of Indonesian companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2022, excluding financial firms. Using panel regression with a fixed effects model, the findings reveal that cash conversion cycle management and firm size significantly influence profitability, both in terms of ROA and ROE. Efficient cash conversion cycle management enhances profitability by reducing the time needed to convert inventory investments into cash, while larger firms benefit from economies of scale and greater market access. Additionally, accounts receivable management, current ratio, and leverage significantly affect ROA, whereas inventory management, current assets, and the COVID-19 pandemic show no significant impact. For ROE, only cash conversion cycle and firm size have a significant influence. These results highlight the importance of effective working capital management strategies to enhance corporate profitability.

Abstract

This study explores the intricate relationship between uncertainty and corporate investment inefficiencies in the Asia-Pacific region, utilizing data from non-financial firms between 2008 and 2021. The method used in the study is fixed effect regression with Driscoll-Kraay robust standard error. The empirical analysis unveils that uncertainty leads to overinvestment. This phenomenon is more pronounced in middle and low-income economies, while high-income countries display a distinct trend of less susceptibility to uncertainty-induced suboptimal investment choices. The study’s implications extend to policymakers and industry stakeholders, urging a closer examination of firms’ risk management strategies, particularly considering the strategic potential of overinvestment as a buffer against uncertainty’s adverse effects. This holds particular significance in the dynamic economic landscape of the Asia-Pacific countries, where the study contributes to a deeper understanding of the interplay between uncertainty and inefficiency of investment decisions across diverse economic settings.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of capital structure on corporate financial performance, as measured by profitability. Capital structure is assessed using Short-term Debt (STD) and Long-term Debt (LTD), while profitability is evaluated through Return on Assets (ROA) and Net Profit Margin (NPM). The research data comprises 807 non-financial companies registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Panel data regression is employed for the analysis over the observation period from 2015 to 2024, estimated using the Fixed Effects Model. The panel regression results indicate that both STD and LTD significantly and negatively impact profitability, as measured by ROA and NPM. Overall, the findings suggest that capital structure is a critical factor that should be considered in relation to the company’s profitability.

Abstract

This study extends prior Covid-19 finance literature by examining the dynamic relationship between Indonesian equity returns and sovereign benchmark bond returns using daily data across two pandemic waves. Unlike previous studies focusing primarily on developed markets or conventional flight-to-safety behavior, this study provides evidence that government bonds in emerging markets may temporarily exhibit equity-like risk characteristics during pandemic-induced fiscal stress. Specifically, the findings show that equity market performance is positively correlated with government bond returns in Indonesia during the two waves of the Covid 19, as opposed to the findings from previous studies when there were financial crises, and also the results show negative correlation between the government bond return and the spread of the Credit Default Swap. Furthermore, this study examines the impact of the Covid pandemic to the local Indonesian long-term and medium-term benchmark bonds after applying the international risk factor variable to the model. The results show shifting investors’ attention from the international risk factors to the local risk factors in both medium and long tenor of the bonds during the pandemic period. Overall, this study highlights how pandemic-induced fiscal uncertainty alters stockbond dynamics in emerging markets and challenges conventional safe-haven assumptions regarding sovereign bonds.
