Credible signals of prospectus and the post listing performance of initial public offers / Lin Yong Tong
No full textThe study of the performance of initial public offer (IPO) has been extensive in the past few decades because it is an intriguing topic for scholars and stakeholders, nevertheless the results obtained have been mixed. The contradictory results have been attributed to the different market rules applicable and the dynamic nature of the stock market. In 2017 alone, the average number of companies gone public globally is at a staggering rate of 6.4 IPO each trading day. To remain pertinent, regular studies are constantly needed to examine the determinants relevant to the performance of IPOs. Furthermore, continuous improvement to the research methodology is always well received. This thesis utilized a set of offer information unique to the Malaysian market recommended by the Securities Commission of Malaysia to investigate the factors that influence firm’s value. A total sample of 428 IPOs from Bursa Malaysia and market data between 2002 and 2017 are utilized in this study. The cross-sectional regression results demonstrate that five Signaling Theory variables and two Agency Theory variables have the powers to signal the future value of newly listed firms. These variables are the Public Issue ratio, Offer for Sale ratio, Retention ratio, High Premium dummy, High Investment Banker Reputation dummy, Staff ratio and the Bumiputera ratio. In addition, the level of Proceed Raised and the Initial Returns are found to be correlated to firm’s value. At the methodology front, apart from adopting two conventional methods to measure performance, a third experimental 12 days moving average method (MAC12) is introduced to add vigor to the study. The smoothing properties of MAC12 which cause the data to be less bias, has helped to produce findings that are more robust. In addition, this thesis analyzed and reported the findings of the Main Board, Second Board and the ACE IPOs collectively and individually up to three years post listing. By analyzing the samples of the three boards separately have proven to be meaningful as it helps to identify the origin of the relationship. The regression results demonstrated that the ACE market determinants have more influence over firm’s values. The results of this thesis based on up-to-date data will help scholars and stakeholders keep abreast with the current development thus, enable them to carry out their respective endeavors more effectively

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
