ESG and Firm Financial Distress in Malaysia: Univariate Approach
No full text<h2>Abstract: This study examines the impact of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) assessments on corporate financial distress in the Malaysian context. Specifically, using Malaysian companies listed in DataStream (Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange main board and second board and ACE market) from 2012 to 2021, we aim to examine which ESG elements have significant impact on mitigating corporate financial distress. Our study shows that among three ESG scores (environmental pillar, social pillar, and governance pillar), the E-score has a negative impact on the likelihood of company financial distress or bankruptcy (Altman z-score). By using a univariate approach, results suggest that environmental concerns (through the Environmental Pillar Score) should significantly improve corporate financial stability and sustainability (by reducing corporate financial distress).</h2><h2> </h2><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>ESG, Corporate Social Responsibility, Financial distress, Altman z-score, Malaysia</p>

Relationship between the Dark Triad, Anomia, Negative Affectivity and Counterproductive Work Behaviours
No full text<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>Despite the fact that some researchers have gained notoriety by employing certain approaches and focusing on Counterproductive Work Behaviours (CWBs) in particular, this study focused on examining the correlation of individual personalities that motivate people to engage in CWBs. The Dark Triad consists of Machiavellianism, Narcissism and Psychopathy, together with Anomia and Negative affectivity were considered as independent variable; meanwhile CWBs that consists of Type S, O and was dependent variable. It was found that all the variables were correlate among others, despite the degree of their relationship varies. 588 respondents were involved in this study, and online questionnaires were deployed for data collection.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>The Dark Triad, Anomia, Negative Affectivity, Counterproductive Work Behaviours</p><p><strong>JEL Classification Number: </strong>M00, M14</p><p> </p>
Explaining First Day Returns using SPAC Board Member Characteristics
No full text<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>We study the recent phenomenon of average positive first day returns on Special Purpose Acquisition Companies (SPAC) IPOs. Given SPACs' structure and characteristics, we would not expect to observe positive first day returns on their IPOs as we do in traditional company IPOs. We attempt to explain SPAC IPO first day returns using board member characteristics. We find that having C-suite experience and being a female board member help explain positive first day SPAC IPO returns. </p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Special Purpose Acquisition Company, SPAC, IPO, First Day Return, Board Member Characteristics</p>
Data and Model of the Pyrenees
No full text<p>Geophysical and geological data and regional model of the Pyrenees mountain range used as input in the GeoMos project to present a case study for the integration of geophysical inversion and geological modelling, with the exploration of the null space. </p><p>A subset of the model was used in a modelling exercise to derive alternative geological scenarios (paper undergoing revisions).

Does Bank Capital Boost the Productivity of the Banking Industry? A Critical Survey
No full text<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>This paper aims to assess the level of productivity of Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa banking industry based on the evolution of the level of minimum bank capital. We used data from the database of the Bank of Central African States and the Worldwide Government Indicators. We opted for the estimation of the Malmquist total factor productivity index based on DEA on one hand, and estimation by the generalized method of moments in system of the channels that influence productivity on other hand. This study reveals that the minimum bank capital level has a significant positive influence on industry productivity. In addition, the ownership structure and the socio-political framework influence the productivity of banks. Therefore, the banking authority should, in consultation with the banks, significantly raise the level of minimum bank capital in order to enable the banks to increase their productivity level.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Minimum bank capital, productivity, banking industry, Malmquist index, GMM</p><p><strong>JEL Classification Number: </strong>E58, G21, G2</p>

Employment Decisions of Trade-affected Workers: Family Obligations and Gender
No full text<p><strong>Abstract</strong>: Trade-affected workers often need to make career changes as the demand for their skills is declining. This study investigates how family obligations affect their employment decisions in the U.S., especially how this differs for men and women. We find that family obligations make workers risk-averse and less likely to switch occupations. However, upon switching, workers with more obligations make significant efforts to achieve better earnings outcome in both short- and long-term. We also find that the influence of family obligations is larger for men, perhaps suggesting that traditional gender roles, where men are the primary provider, still prevail.</p><p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Import Competition, Wages, Occupations, Family Obligations, Gender</p><p><strong>JEL Classification Number: </strong>F16, F66</p>
