This study applied the generalized least square panel data over 2003-2016 and considering the period of global financial crisis 2008-2010. The results show that a firm with a higher percentage of family ownership pays more dividend compared to non-family firms. The same effect applies to the percentage of family control. In contrast, we found that higher debt levels will reduce the dividend payment. These findings indicate that dividend distribution can be used as a policy to lessen agency problems of listed firms.","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49295269","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 method also uses OLS regression to test the effects of return spillover on REIT returns. The results show that connectedness between Asian markets is low. Japan and Singapore are the strongest influencers. Low connectedness was also found between REITs and the local stock market. In general, net return spillover from Asian REIT markets significantly influence REITs’ return. The results imply that the growth of REIT markets depends on the attractiveness of capital markets in a country. Regulators in developing countries need to improve the capital market environment to enable REIT markets to flourish.","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2020-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21002/ICMR.V12I2.12238","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46784115","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 results suggest the existence of dynamic capital structure in both countries, but differences in adjustment speed towards optimal debt and factors affecting the optimal debt levels are evident between these countries. Firm-specific factors such as tangibility of assets, non-debt tax shield, and profitability significantly affect optimal debt in both countries. However, most countryspecific factors are insignificant determinants, GDP in Malaysia being the sole exception. The findings of this study are helpful for corporate managers, policymakers, and regulatory authorities in monitoring the amount of debt used by the firms and their adjustment speed towards target debt to avoid the bankruptcies.

This article uses the Panzar–Rosse Model and Concentration Ratio to measure banking competition and concentration, while measuring systemic risk by applying CoVaR. The empirical result shows that concentration and competition increase systemic risk. This means increasing competition leads banks to take higher risks, and also shows that banks with high market power tend to charge higher interest rates, thus increasing systemic risk. The Net Interest Margin as a control variable is statistically significant in competition-systemic risk models as well as in concentration-systemic risks. These findings support the competition-fragility view that banking system stability is seriously affected by banking competition level, especially in decreasing net interest margin periods. On an individual bank level, the competition-systemic risk relationship depends on the bank size and the interbank deposit ratio, but the capital structure and demand-deposit to total funding ratio are not significant.","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44669570","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}

To this end, the first stage of this study examines whether the recent solution for banking murabaha, namely Islamic Interbank Benchmark Rate (IIBR), is a sustainable solution to solve the problem. The Johansen cointegration test between IIBR and LIBOR, as an international benchmark rate, as well as IIBR and JIBOR, as an Indonesian one, is performed to prove that notion. The results suggest that IIBR has long-run equilibrium relationship with the two ribawi benchmark rates. IIBR hence does not fulfil the sustainability feature as a long-run solution for Islamic finance. The second stage of this study proposes the so-called universal Islamic banking system as a solution to remedy the problem.

Furthermore, we also investigate how financial flexibility determines the sensitivity of investment activities to cash flow. Using annual data of Indonesian manufacturing firms spanning five years, our analyses reveal that financial flexibility enhances investment ability and decreases sensitivity of investment activities to cash flow. Further analysis indicates that financially flexible firms in Indonesia tend to hold higher cash as a buffer to achieve financial flexibility. These findings yield important implications to managers and investors as Indonesia’s domestic market is expanding rapidly and large business opportunities are created. This condition provides firms with incentive to grow faster, hence increasing financing needs to finance firms’ expansion.","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2019-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21002/ICMR.V9I2.7470","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47691935","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}
