Therefore, it appears that DOI has a substitution effect in DEE companies. In summary, our results indicate that DEE firms do not have the advantage of participating in the international financial market.

{"title":"Does Misery Impact Corporate Risk-Return Relationships?","authors":"T. Westfall, Aaron D. Crabtree","doi":"10.5430/afr.v11n4p1","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5430/afr.v11n4p1","url":null,"abstract":"The prior behavioral theory of the firm research documents that a firm’s external environment impacts the risk-return relationship, suggesting that drivers outside the firm are part of the risk-return puzzle. This study examines whether firms’ misery scores impact the return relationship. Using a sample of firm-year observations from 2002 to 2011, we investigate the relationship between the external environment related to misery and firms’ risk-return relationships by regressing five factors that proxy for firms’ external environments (e.g. misery levels) on risk and return. Our results suggest that both economic and non-economic external environmental factors impact firms’ risk-return relationship. Specifically, low unemployment rates and taxes are associated with higher levels of risk-taking, whereas greater access to leisure amenities decreases risk-taking. A firm’s return is negatively impacted by risk-taking associated with low unemployment and taxes and greater access to education and healthcare. However, a firm’s return is positively impacted by risk-taking associated with better air quality and lower property crime. The results suggest that a firm’s external environment impacts its performance. Therefore, future research may consider including location fixed effects to control for the unobservable external environmental factors that impact firm performance. Second, the results are of interest to practitioners as businesses can utilize the findings to develop internal programs that neutralize the external environment’s effects on firm performance.","PeriodicalId":34570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic Accounting and Finance Research","volume":"79 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73034279","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}

Result - The results showed that for from 2010 to 2019, the family Takaful operators’ efficiencies are improving, whilst the life insurers have become less efficient even though their efficiency score is higher than the family Takaful operators. In terms of the optimum size (i.e., scale), the results are reversed which means that the family Takaful operators are still not at the optimum size but once they reach there, they could improve their efficiency substantially. However, for both family Takaful operators and life insurers, 2019 seems to dip their efficiency in terms of pure technical and also scale.Implication - The results of this research open a new way of measuring the efficiency of family takaful and life insurance not only in Malaysia but can be generalized to measure the efficiency level of family takaful and life insurance in general.Originality - This research is the first study that used the combination of inputs and outputs specifically for the family Takaful and life insurance institutions in Malaysia.","PeriodicalId":34570,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Islamic Accounting and Finance Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42128545","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}
