Institutional Investors and Corporate Investment Decisions: The Interplay of Product Market Competition
No full textThe study examines the association between ownership structure and corporate investment decisions. We consider different components of ownership structure such as mutual fund ownership and group ownership. Whereas, the corporate investment decision is measured through corporate risk-taking behavior based on the downside capital asset pricing model (DCAPM) of Estrada (2002). Furthermore, this study also tested interplay of product market competition on this relationship through Herfindahl Hirschman index (HHI). The evidence is based on 146 listed firms over the period of 2013-2018. This study considers static regression estimations for data analysis. Consistent with previous empirical studies, the results reveal that institutional ownership, mutual fund ownership and group ownership considerably reduce the corporate risk-taking behavior. Particularly, the results provide some new insights that the product market competition as a moderator significantly weakens the impact of institutional ownership (homogeneous and heterogeneous role) on corporate risk-taking behavior

The commercial banks form the core of the banking system and it comprises of scheduled and non – scheduled banks. This study focuses on the credit flow of Scheduled Commercial Banks’ (SCBs) to the agriculture sector, from 2010-2011 to 2019-2020, which has been increasing for the past few decades. The secondary data is compiled from various published sources and growth of loans and advances has been analyzed by using the compound growth rate technique. The agriculture sector is an important component of the Indian economy as it provides livelihood to a large section of the population. The contribution of agriculture has gone down from 52 percent in 1950 to 30 percent in 1990 and 20 percent in 2010. During 2010-11 to 2019-2020 the share of agriculture and allied activities was 14.4 percent. Initially, the Scheduled Commercial Banks played a marginal role in providing agriculture assistance. After nationalization of commercial banks in 1969 the banks began to provide direct as well as indirect agricultural credit for short and medium-term period. The major sources of finance for agriculture through SCBs are from direct finance and indirect finance. The period of study is taken from the year 2010-11 to 2019-20. From various published reports it was identified that the SCBs provide highest credit to farmers compared to other institution and hence the study is restricted only to scheduled commercial banks and the data is collected accordingly. From the study it is also identified that during the study period from 2010-2011 to 2019-2020 the agriculture credit was increasing at a faster rate from 2014-2015 to 2019-2020.

Proving the agency theory; Combining the CGM, FFP with a mediation of Kaszanak's and Kothari's model
No full textThis research examined the effects of corporate governance mechanism (separate leadership, nomination committee independence) on shareholder value, and also the ability of the reporting quality to mediate the relationship between corporate governance variable (separate leadership and nomination committee independence) and shareholder value. In this study, separate leadership and nomination committee independence are independent variable, shareholders value (share price) is dependent variable and reporting quality is mediating variable. We postulate renowned agency theory in relation to Corporate Governance (CG) mechanism, shareholder value and reporting quality.

Moreover, reporting quality has significant impact on the relationship of separate leadership and shareholders value with a full mediation. This research examined because of the objection on corporate governance mechanism to test its ability to predict for improving shareholder value within Malaysian listed companies. Moreover, this paper also provided the mediating evidence in the form of reporting quality for molding the relationship between corporate governance mechanism and shareholder value This result hinted out that corporate governance attributes also very much important for increasing shareholder value and shareholder confidence in the country. The results of the study has value for Malaysian government, policy makers, corporate boards, stock exchange and shareholders by highlighting the distinct impact of corporate governance mechanism and its relation with board of director meeting, audit committee independence, cross holder ownership and board size in the context of global firm financial crises throughout the world and Malaysia
