This study seeks to determine the impact of gas exploration taxes on economic growth in Nigeria from 1981 to 2020. An expo-facto research design with two (2) objectives and one (1) baseline theory anchored this empirical paper. The population of the study is Nigeria with a tax history of forty years from 1981 to 2020. The study adopted an interval scale of measurement and the preceding year basis of sampling, with a sample size of nine (9) years from 2010 to 2018. The source of data was secondary, obtained from the Central Bank of Nigeria, National Bureau of Statistics, OECD Statistics, and World Bank Group. The study adopted univariate analysis and bivariate analysis for data analysis with MS Excel 2019 and SPSS Statistics 26. The study found that and that ITG has no significant relationship with PCI but has a significant relationship with JOB. The study concluded that: given high levels of oil price stability and production boom, income tax on gas exploration might significantly contribute to per capita income and employment rate, with a correlation of more than 67%. The study recommended that government should reduce the tax incentives granted to petroleum companies in Nigeria, and increase the tax rate of non-petroleum companies, which will increase government revenue from petroleum taxes, during times of oil price volatility and production cuts.","PeriodicalId":286042,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Other (Topic)","volume":"103 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114025448","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}

It has become one of the most debatable topic for researchers due to the vagueness of its theories on the significance of dividend policy while indicating firm‟s value.<br><br>In this competitive environment the challenge to financial experts is to develop a dividend policy aiming at maximizing shareholder‟s wealth by efficient utility of investment. So, there is a need to find out the determinants of dividend payout policy that ultimately affect the firm‟s performance. These include firm size, debt, profitability, liquidity and sales. The main purpose of this research is to explore the dividend policy determinants of concerned firms by using a conceptual model that may help in increasing firms‟ performance and shareholders‟ interest.<br><br>The firms of oil and gas field of Pakistan were selected as sample for this research and to analyze the determinants of dividend payout requires practical efforts. For this purpose, various types of statistical techniques have been used namely descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis. Entire sample was analyzed on yearly basis for more comprehensive understanding from 2011 to 2018.<br><br>The findings of the study indicated that there is no single best dividend policy that fits on all firms both at micro and macro level. Due to the differences in the conditions that correspond to firm-specific (financial policies, production processes, management style, Human Resource Management etc.) as well as industry-specific (social, cultural, political, technical, economic environment etc.) every firm decides its own dividend policy that tends to the potential long term success of the business. In this scenario, a unique dividend policy doesn't seem a good fit for all the firms.<br>","PeriodicalId":286042,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Other (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129869260","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}

We find that the departure of star analysts motivates non-star analysts to provide more accurate forecasts, and this incentive effect has a nature of long-term effect. Through mechanism analysis, we also find that the departure of star analysts hurts brokerages’ enthusiasm to cultivate star analysts, which further results in the vacancy of the star analyst in those brokerages. This vacancy plays an incentive role for non-star analysts. Moreover, the departure behavior motivates to produce accurate forecasts by hard working. In addition, we examine whether the departure’s incentive effect can be affected by the conflict of interest. The results show that non-star analysts who issue optimistic forecasts before the departure of star analysts are more likely to issue more accurate forecast reports after the departure of star analysts, which verifies the conflict of interest hypothesis. Finally, through the heterogeneity analysis, we find that the incentive effect on the non-star analysts is more significant when the number of star analysts in the previous employer is smaller, institutional investors hold more shares, and the market value of the companies is larger.","PeriodicalId":286042,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Other (Topic)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121372705","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}

Eisenberg","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3324304","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3324304","url":null,"abstract":"The present work approaches the research question: Does tax transparency through mandatory corporate tax return disclosure tackle tax avoidance? Tax avoidance has far-reaching social implications. The aim of this study is to shed light on tax avoidance and to help mitigate its adverse social repercussions. The research is inspired by The United Kingdom Corporate and Individual Tax and Financial Transparency Bill, which was proposed, albeit unsuccessfully, during the 2010-2015 UK Parliament. The implications of a tax return disclosure regime are assessed against the WPP Group, a major UK public company listed on FTSE 100.  The stakeholders affected by corporate tax return disclosure are analysed using the Power-Interest-Matrix. Their power is assessed through financial indicators derived from the company’s financial statements. Their interest is scrutinized through vocabulary analysis with the Form-Oriented Content Analytic Method. The impact of the disclosed tax avoidance on the stakeholders and their response are mixed. There are numerous pathways available depending on the stakeholder group and their incentives. Also, stakeholders of the same group do not behave unanimously. These findings are supported by empirical evidence from Europe, Asia and the USA. In order to channel dispersed stakeholder activity the study makes a proposal to introduce a threshold for parties interested in corporate tax information. The author is not aware on any tax avoidance research combining the Power-Interest-Matrix and the Form-Oriented Content Analytic Method. This enhances the originality of the study and may encourage other scholars to enrich their research inventory through these instruments.

This paper includes significant research questions such as “Are accounting academicians informed and knowledgeable on new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards?”, “Do accounting academicians integrate new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards to their lectures?”, “How does modern accounting education methodology and technology coincides with the teaching of new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards?”, “Do universities offer mandatory and elective courses which cover the new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards?” and “If such courses are offered, what are their names, percentage in the curriculum and degree of coverage?” Research contributes to the literature in several ways. Firstly, new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards are current significant topics for the accounting profession. Furthermore, the accounting education provides a basis for the implementations in public and private sector. Besides, one of the intentions of new Turkish commercial code and Turkish accounting standards is to foster transparency.

Studies typically assume the Basu [1997] asymmetric timeliness coefficient (the incremental slope on negative returns in a piecewise-linear regression of accounting income on stock returns) is a valid conditional conservatism measure. We analyze the measure's validity, in the context of a model with accounting income incorporating different types of information with different lags, and with noise. We demonstrate that the asymmetric timeliness coefficient varies with firm characteristics affecting their information environments, such as the length of the firm's operating and investment cycles, and its degree of diversification. We particularly examine one characteristic, the extent to which �unbooked� information (such as revised expectations about rents and growth options) is independent of other information, and discuss the conditions under which a proxy for this characteristic is the market-to-book ratio. We also conclude that much criticism of the Basu regression misconstrues researchers� objectives.","PeriodicalId":286042,"journal":{"name":"Chicago Booth ARC: Other (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127148536","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 business relocation can be limited by the restraints of an existing location and it becomes essential for all the business to be moved. “Badly organised and planned, with a lack of financial provision, it can ruin the business. The extent of prior planning needed for successful development in the new location is usually underestimated, even by the large firm.” (Haines,1970).
