MORAL HAZARD AND INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORKS: STUDY OF SYSTEMICALLY IMPORTANT BANKS IN NIGERIA
No full textThis study explores the phenomenon of moral hazard in the Nigerian banking sector, focusing on five (5) designated systemically important banks (SIBs). The study examines how implicit government guarantees, weak regulatory oversight, and limited competition have incentivised moral hazard in SIBs from 2013 to 2021. Using an exploratory research method, the study gathered empirical data and employed content analysis to assess the potential consequences of moral hazard in the Nigerian banking sector. The study found that moral hazardleads to financial instability, inefficient credit allocation, and diminished public trust. The study recommends that CBN should move away from the ‘comply or explain’ principle to proactively strengthen its regulatory oversight to prevent banks from engaging in reckless lending behaviour, AMCON should be scrapped to stop the bailout function it carries out, which serves as a source of moral hazard and CBN to enforce banks to comply with provisions of corporate governance codes for prudent lending decisions to align with the best interests of shareholders and stakeholders. Additionally, erring CEOs found guilty of reckless behaviour be arraigned and prosecuted
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
Audit Committee: Size, Independence and Environmental Disclosure of Non-Finance Service Companies in Nigeria: The Moderating Role of Audit Committee Share Ownership
Get PDFThis study examined the effect of audit committee size and audit committee independence on environmental disclosure of non-finance service companies listed in Nigeria. Extant literature on this topic is more in developed countries where legal regulatory framework exists. There are limited empirical studies in developing countries like Nigeria that examine the effect audit committee size and independence on environmental disclosure, measured with Global Reporting Initiative checklist and their results have wide variant. Secondary data were collected from the annual reports of the sampled companies. 58 companies out of the population of 89 listed non-financial companies in Nigeria were sampled out. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression were employed for analysis. The study finds that the direct effect of audit committee size and audit committee independence on environmental disclosure is insignificant with probability values of 0.154 and 0.107, respectively. However, when moderated by audit committee share ownership, the effect of audit committee size on environmental disclosure of the sampled companies become significant with Probability value of 0.049. This finding suggests that audit committee size has positive and significant effect on environmental disclosure of non-finance companies listed in Nigeria where members of audit committee has shares in the company. Based on the findings, the study recommends that regulatory authorities should encourage companies to select members of audit committee with share ownership in the companies because it influences the effect of AC size on environmental disclosure.
