{"title":"Who is Most Likely to Remigrate? Evidence from Kosovo’s Returned Migrants","authors":"Driton Qehaja, Albian Krasniqi","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/736","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/736","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: Many of the retuned migrants, mainly due to economic reasons, fail to reintegrate in the Kosovar society . This paper investigates determinants of remigration for those returned either voluntary or forcibly before 2014, conditional on having lived for at least one year in the host country. Design/Methodology/Approach: The determinants of returnees' remigration are estimated using a unique survey, which draws a sample of 144 respondents. A probit econometric regression method and a linear probability model are employed to estimate factors affecting returnees' propensity to leave the country again. Findings: We find that many of the returnees live in worse conditions compare to pre-migration. Results indicate that, as in the first migration, people leave the country mainly for economic reasons. Ethnic Albanians, vulnerable groups and those people having received a foreign schooling have higher propensity of remigrating. Owning land exerts an opposite impact, while having a job appears to have no significance in the decision to leave the country. Practical Implications: The study offers insights that assist policymakers to understand the complexity of the reintegration process. It also offers an analysis of what is essential for the returnees in order not to consider remigration. Originality/Value: Although there are many studies on migration and return migration determinants, there is little known about returnees’ reintegration. We investigate why Kosovo’s returned migrants are interested in leaving again and the main determinants for this.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83303437","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}

For that purpose, data from 2006 to 2016 were used for 952 municipalities in the area. The econometric methodology derived from Kunwar and Bohara (2017) and is applied to the production value of municipalities in the Brazilian Northeast, where it is assumed that the production value is also impacted by the interactions between precipitation and temperature. Thus, time and space data are used, applied to a spatial econometric methodology. The results suggest that the agricultural production of the municipalities of the Brazilian Northeast is spatially autocorrelated. There is indication that there are municipalities with high (or low) levels of production, which have neighbors with these same characteristics. It was also verified that, from 2006 to 2011, the agricultural production was more sensitive to changes in temperature levels than to changes in average precipitation. However, after the years 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016, agricultural production has become more sensitive to changes in the precipitation levels. It was also noted that in the analyzed period there was an increase in the average sensitivity of the agricultural production in relation to the precipitation levels, while the average temperature sensitivity showed a decrease.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"71 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86370037","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}

Therefore, the financial results obtained by the company in the period from 2015 to 2019 were analysed in order to know if there were competitive advantages in costs arising from the decision to implement outsourcing. Studies were also carried out on the structure of the decision-making process adopted by the entity to identify the level of efficiency of this model in the implementation of outsourcing, and finally, the impacts generated on these advantages due to the degree of efficiency of the tool application were verified. The research strategy was qualitative and quantitative, with an exploratory bias, bibliographic survey and structured interview. A mathematical model was used based on 14 (fourteen) decision-making efficiency indicators, 4 (four) efficiency level classification indicators and 5 (five) classification criteria for performance. The results showed that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that the low level of efficiency in the decision-making structure contributed to the high financial impact on Company Alpha and, consequently, to the negative impact on competitiveness acquired through the implementation of outsourcing in this entity, which caused financial disadvantages represented by losses in operating income and reduction in profitability.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77188875","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}

Autoregressive distributed lag approaches are employed to examine the short- and long-run relationship causality among variables. Findings: The empirical results reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between industry value-added and gross fixed capital formation, number of workers, and foreign direct investment, respectively, while the relationship of industry value-added with the gross domestic product and total factor productivity is added being negative and statistically significant. This result is explained by other sectors that contribute more to growth in the domestic product, such as the tourism sector and the Suez Canal. Practical Implications: These findings provide a better understanding of the determinants affecting the Egyptian manufacturing sector Originality/Value: The study would help policymakers to explore the most productive Egyptian manufacturing industries and adopt economic policies that stimulate investment in the manufacturing sector to increase economic growth and exports.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73063650","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}

Gallali, Mohammed Saadeh","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/717","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/717","url":null,"abstract":"Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of family ownership on the capital structure with control variables that have been found to affect the capital structure demonstrated in previous studies in the context of the Palestinian market. Design/Methodology/Approach: Panel data (unbalanced) was used to sample non-financial firms listed in the stock exchange from 2010 to 2018. Regression with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors was used to address serial correlation and heteroscedasticity issues and possibly correlate between the groups (panels). Findings: The findings from the T-tests showed that family firms were less leveraged, less in the concentration of ownership, and lesser in their size compared to non-family firm counterparts but were more profitable than non-family firms. Furthermore, regression analysis results showed that the impact of family ownership negatively and significantly affected debt usage in the capital structure (book value of debt). The capital structure (market value of debt) was also positively and significantly affected. Practical Implications: Findings of the study help investors and lenders in the Palestinian market to understand how family firms behave toward employing debt in the capital structure. This may be important in the context of the Palestinian market as family ownership is considered a leading player in ownership structure. Originality/Value: Former studies have focused majorly on the effect of ownership structure on the firm’s performance. The impact of ownership structure on the capital structure received less attention in general and particularly family ownership. To our best knowledge, the current empirical research is the first to analyze the resolutions of the capital structure of family companies.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79499282","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}

Design/Methodology/Approach: Since the study based its findings on perceptions of investors, a concept that cannot be defined with certainty and is not constant since it varies due to factors such as regulatory framework, country polies, investor experience, technological factors, just to mention a few, the regression model was used to portray the relationship between investment decision making and financial reporting relevance, credibility/reliability and quality of disclosures Findings: Corporate governance, audit form reputation, audit committee and company size have a great impact on IFRS compliance and disclosure in financial statements. Verifiability and understandability help to improve IFRS Disclosure and Financial Statement Relevance. Relevance is considered an important attribute of quality financial information in decision making. Practical Implications: Investors need to make effective and informed decisions on investment. For this to be possible, information provided in the financial statements has to be relevant and faithfully represent the substance of what it purports to represent. Companies should practice voluntary disclosure on information items that influence investment decisions and be required to give a simplified interpretation of the information contained in the annual reports.

Eslami","doi":"10.35808/ijeba/722","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35808/ijeba/722","url":null,"abstract":": Purpose: Competent financial managers are a tool to develop and increase the organization's productivity as much as possible in changing economic conditions. Selecting the appropriate managers will improve the organization's decisions in all matters. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the structural analysis of the interaction of the categories of competency model of financial managers. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method was applied to purpose and descriptive correlation in terms of a data collection method in a cross-sectional period. In a quantitative method, research hypotheses were formulated and tested using a questionnaire. Then, 368 people were selected from professors and senior managers active in the capital market and financial managers by simple random sampling method. Hypotheses were tested by the structural equation method using PLS software. Confirmatory factor analysis using the least-squares method was used to validate the 18 main variables and competency items of financial managers. Findings: The structural analysis results indicate that causal, contextual, and intervening conditions have a significant effect on the central category phenomenon. The main category has a significant effect on strategies. In addition, strategies have a significant mediating effect on the relationships between the main categories on the consequences. Practical Implications: The competency model of financial managers has a high ability to be implemented and can be used as an effective tool to select competent financial managers. Originality/Value: To develop the issue of competence and efficiency of financial managers, the knowledge enhancement of this study leads to improving the foresight and decisions made by fate and highlights the importance of the dimensions of model categories for organizations.","PeriodicalId":37182,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Economics and Business Administration","volume":"42 11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82855822","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}
