But no single policy instrument is necessarily superior to the others. The paper finds that a revenue-neutral carbon border tax and an emissions trading system with auctioned permits satisfy the most evaluation criteria. \u0000Research limitations/implications: For the purpose of simplification, the model ignores dynamic extensions. That is, the adjustments of businesses to policy measures and the effects on emissions are beyond the scope of this analysis. \u0000Originality/value: The study develops a model that evaluates the European Union’s environmental policies in a unifying perspective, assessing the tradeoffs of policy design.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89067857","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}

A person has aged between 25 until 40 years old is considered the millennials group The method that used in this paper is the Unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT). There will be five independent variables: performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, facilitating condition, and Shariah-compliant. Shariah-compliant variables have been added to the study because the study investigates the Islamic e-wallet where it is needed the Shariah-compliant elements. Before the data is analysed into measurement, preliminary analysis such as Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is conducted as well. \u0000Findings: The result showed that the performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI) and Shariah complaint (SC) significantly affect the Islamic e-wallet acceptance among the millennials. In addition, the Shariah complaint has a strong effect on Islamic e-wallet acceptance. In contrast, facilitating condition (FC) showed no effect on Islamic e-wallet acceptance. In this study, all the requirements for model fit were achieved. The four exogenous constructs are performance expectancy (PE), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI) and facilitating condition (FC). The mediating construct is behavioural intention (BI) and the endogenous is user adoption (UA). All exogenous constructs show significant p-value except for effort expectancy (EE). \u0000Research limitation/implications: This paper offers important implications specifically for the digital economy as it is currently making its way throughout every aspect in the human life, be it social, religion, financial transaction, entertainment and many more.

{"title":"The Influence of Present Health Status (Post Covid-19) on Retirement Planning Malaysia","authors":"M. Isa, Mellisa Daukin","doi":"10.17549/gbfr.2022.27.6.81","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.17549/gbfr.2022.27.6.81","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: To investigate whether present health status influence retirement planning in the new economic challenge post Covid 19. The relationship between present health status and retirement planning should be better explored and investigated for strengthening the retirement planning among Malaysian women. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: This study is developed based on a quantitative approach where primary data was acquired through online surveys to 433 workers in various locations in Malaysia. The target population of this study are people who work full time in Malaysia's government and private sectors whose ages range from 25 to 55 years old. \u0000Findings: The significant result from this study has shown that there is a health status effect on the employees' retirement planning. The result identified that the health status is an important factor for retirement planning during the post-COVID-19 among the working population in Malaysia. \u0000Research limitations/implications: Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has caused many monetary, economic and social challenges, it has also opened up a new door opportunity for constructive change. Government, policymakers and the general public need more transparent and resourceful in making difficult choices and trade-offs between short-term and long-term concerns. Nevertheless, the real challenges exposed in the COVID-19 pandemic are the lack of progressive long-term thinking on retirement planning. This paper has its limitations, that since COVID-19 is still ongoing, this study only focuses on the current present health status of Malaysian employees. \u0000Originality/value: Studying the employee's behaviour during the times of distress is important to understand how do they manage their finances. This is a valuable knowledge that could be applied in future. Many employees were caught unaware and faced challenges in the recent past. This could be avoided if prior knowledge and the savings are available.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83889832","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}

Performance streaks have many implications in business settings, such as selecting stocks, hedge fund performance, employee performance, introducing new products, and business strategy. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: The paper empirically analyzes the effects of performance steaks. It uses data from world blitz chess championships. \u0000Findings: Contrary to some studies in competitive sports, the empirical analysis supports neither the hot hand nor the cold hand hypothesis. Instead, a new effect is discovered; performance increases following a loss. We term this effect to be the bounce-back effect. \u0000Research limitation/implications: Future research may conduct field experiments to investigate which business environments are likely to generate this effect. Similar to other studies on performance streaks, the analysis does not control for motivation. Future research may also analyze the role of motivation for performance. \u0000Originality/value: The paper identifies a new effect previously not investigated in the literature. In addition, the paper contributes to this literature by looking into competitive blitz chess, where psychological factors are more important than physiological factors.

This study aims to verify equity financing behavior by examining the characteristics of firms that issue RCPS. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of 12,768 firm-year observations of Korean listed companies from 2011 to 2018, this study conducts univariate and multivariate analyses to examine the factors that affect firms' decisions regarding RCPS issuance. For multivariate analysis, logistic regression analysis is used. \u0000Findings: This study shows that firms issuing RCPS have higher debt ratios and lower operating cash flows than non-issuing firms. It is also found that firms issuing RCPS are smaller and younger than non-issuing firms. These findings indicate that firms with higher costs of financial distress, lower internal cash flow, and lower credibility/reputation are more likely to issue RCPS because they are constrained by debt capacity. \u0000Research limitations/implications: According to pecking order theory, firms prefer debt over equity if external funds are required. The results of this study support the pecking order theory by providing evidence that firms rely on hybrid securities financing like redeemable preferred stock, a priority after debt when they are constrained by debt capacity. \u0000Originality/value: This study sheds light on financing decisions related to the issuance of hybrid securities from the perspective of pecking order theory.

This challenge is aimed at power system expert engineers, whose central role in the electricity sector is becoming increasingly complicated by the possibility of stranded assets, intermittency paradigms, and new patterns of energy flow. This research explains the importance of the co-creation process as a mediator to enable the utilization of the technopreneurial orientation among expert engineers in supporting the sustainability of the electricity sector. \u0000Design/methodology/approach: The survey method was carried out to collect data from expert power system engineers with more than ten years of experience in the national electricity sector. The quantitative method with structural equation modeling analysis and a partial least square approach was used in this research. \u0000Findings: Empowering expert engineers in a technopreneurial orientation can encourage them to co-create by prioritizing dialogue that allows for accessibility and transparency when taking risks, which is an important aspect that boosts the co-creation effect in the energy transition to sustainability. The strong behavior of experts in utilizing technopreneurial orientation and the co-creation process has been demonstrated to be capability of adopting the three aspects contained in the energy trilemma index, energy security, energy equity, and environmental sustainability, which are modified to reflect a strong tendency to achieve sustainability in the electricity sector. \u0000Research limitations/implications: Although this study's respondents are limited to expert engineers in the electricity sector, the findings have implications for the management of experts in other strategic and large-scale sectors. The limited number of respondents to expert engineers with more than ten years of work experience makes millennials excluded. \u0000Originality/value: The measurement indicator becomes novelty in this study. Sustainability was adopted and modified from the energy trilemma index. Technopreneurial orientation adopted from Lumpkin & Dess (1996) was modified by the addition of technological expertise.

Major analytic tools applied in this study include OLS, Panel Random Effect, Logit and Probit Models. \u0000Findings: The study confirmed that being carded by the EU for IUU fishing significantly negatively impacted countries' fishery trade flows, especially in the case of red cards. Furthermore, increases in capture of wild fish and corruption reduced the likelihood of having the card removed. \u0000Research limitations/implications: An important limitation of this study is that it did not account for the influence of other major industry players (such as Japan, USA, China) on the country's overall trade flows. Notwithstanding, it explored how certain variables reduced the likelihood of card removal, finding that countries with higher levels of corruption and fish capture were less likely to have their cards revoked, putting them at a further disadvantage. The findings are especially important in the context of the fishing industry which supports local economies in many developing countries that are usually the target of such coercive measures. Restricted trade flows are especially damaging to small-scale fishers who are often forgotten in the global fight against IUU fishing. This study brings attention to the carding system's potential for trade disruptions and future applications of this sanctioning mechanism should take this under advisement. \u0000Originality/value: Studies of the EU carding system's produced effects remain scarce, with existing ones focusing either on individual countries or on the mechanism's general potential for curbing IUU fishing. Considering the global nature of the fishing industry and the harmful potential of the carding system for vulnerable coastal communities, this study attempted to achieve a broader and more in-depth understanding of the EU carding system's effects by examining all countries that were carded for IUU fishing from the enforcement of the IUU Regulation until 2020.","PeriodicalId":35226,"journal":{"name":"Global Business and Finance Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89691384","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}
