{"title":"Towards a Brave New World of Corporate Governance Practices in Emerging Markets: The Case of Listed Banks in Romania","authors":"D. Deliu","doi":"10.5171/2020.325840","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5171/2020.325840","url":null,"abstract":"Financial crises, in general, are putting a greater emphasis on the best practices regarding corporate governance in emerging economies. Boards of Directors are under great pressure to be transparent and accountable. In the same background, given the current socioeconomic context, due to the crisis generated by the new Coronavirus (CoVid-19) pandemic, the banking sector is under analogous levels of scrutiny, subject to a similar regulatory backlash. In this context, banks must not fail to fulfil the expectations of policy makers in particular, and society in general. The Code of Corporate Governance (CCG) issued by the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) aims at creating an internationally attractive capital market in Romania, based on best practices, transparency and trust – pillars that encourage companies to build a strong relationship with their shareholders and other stakeholders, by an effective and transparent communication, as well as openness towards all potential investors. This paper aims to highpoint the degree of compliance of the banks listed on the BSE with the principles and provisions stipulated by the CCG in force. As such, the assessment consisted in measuring the corporate governance quality and effectiveness in the main Romanian banks: Banca Transilvania, BRD, Erste Group and Patria Bank. Evaluating corporate governance eminence is constructed by using the score function method in regards to disclosure and transparency practices, as proposed by BSE. In this respect, an investigation was performed, focusing on the mode in which the principles enforced by the BSE are respected. This goal is important due to the current sensitive socioeconomic environment, which, undoubtedly, makes the corporate governance in the banking sector a controversial subject. In this framework, valuable conclusions were reached, regarding a satisfactory compliance level with the CCG issued by BSE. The research emphasized a high level of adoption of the best practice doctrines. Copyright © 2020. Delia DELIU.

The principal component analysis was used to construct two new measures (banking sector development and stock market development). The Panel Vector Auto-Regressive model developed by Love and Zicchino (2006) and Granger causalities test was used. Results show that the model is endogenous, stable and that the shocks caused by the introduction of the euro and the subprime crisis are significant. By using dummies tools to control the crisis effects, the banking sector development and the stock market development show a bidirectional relationship. The results suggest that governments should implement stability policies of the banking sector development to attract foreign direct investment that impulses economic growth. Future research that evolves the nexus between financial development and economic growth should take into consideration the impact of the economic crisis in the countries.","PeriodicalId":267649,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics Studies and Research","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125760194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, there is almost no study that addresses the possible interactions between military effort, environment and growth. Although remarkable are the merits of the contributions proposed within these separate lines of studies, we argue that they don’t get grip on all the aspects of military effort. This lack of connection in research leaves many empty spaces between these different aspects, yet closely interacted. This article intends to contribute to fill this gap.","PeriodicalId":267649,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics Studies and Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130044403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The analyses are done by using entropy measures that can help with predicting regional employment dynamics. Our finding suggests that the Shannon entropy and Tsallis entropy are significant predictors for the size of the employment downturn. The Rényi entropy is also a useful predictor of the rate of employment downturn in recession phase. When the Shannon entropy was growing through the recovery phase before the crisis, regions experience a higher rate of employment decrease in the following recession period and high Shannon entropy inferred the smaller employment downturn. The results indicate the different role of the Tsallis entropy that plays a different role in comparison to Shannon entropy. The higher the Tsallis entropy, the more severely the region was affected. In conclusion, the use of entropic measures as resilience indicators in terms of regional policy is a significant predictor of regional resilience.","PeriodicalId":267649,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Economics Studies and Research","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134193672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
