After being removed, financial markets transmit significant idiosyncratic shocks that are not explained by systemic variations.

Additionally, we evaluate the differences in the impacts of firms' gender composition on collateral borrowing between banks that adopt sustainable finance codes of conduct and those that do not. Our empirical findings indicate that female-dominant firms are less likely to be required to provide collateral for their bank loans, and when collateral is required, its value is relatively lower. However, banks adopting sustainable finance codes are not less likely to grant collateral loans to female-dominant firms; in fact, these banks even require greater collateral values from these firms. The implications derived from our empirical findings concern gender inequality in accessing financial credit in developing countries and underscore the need for designing sustainable finance codes that specifically consider and rectify the challenges faced by female-owned firms, especially by firms with a majority female workforce.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46907,"journal":{"name":"Global Finance Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142525983","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moreover, it explores the relationship between perceived complexity and behavioral intention (BI) to adopt digital insurance among PWDs, as mediated by perceived knowledge. This study employs a two-stage hybrid structural equation modeling–artificial neural network (SEM-ANN) approach to test the hypothesis, and data from 323 physically challenged participants were collected. Empirical results show that all factors, except for perceived complexity and technological anxiety, significantly predict BI adoption of digital insurance among PWDs, whereas perceived usefulness was found to have the highest impact on BI.

Improving risk management takes centre stage in the acceleration of this process. This study uses loan-book data from the peer-to-peer (P2P) lending market to empirically investigate the determinants of default risk. Using the loan-book database covering the period from 2014 to 2020, we examine multiple factors related to the default risk of loans issued by P2P lending platforms. The results indicate that a higher interest rate and higher stock market returns increase the probability of default in the P2P lending market. Results are robust to additional tests based on endogeneity correction, the LASSO method and sampling bias. The severity of the impact of market returns and interest rates is found to be significantly different based on the levels of financial technology (FinTech) adoption and banking sector distress. Increases in the market interest rate are found to boost the sensitivity of P2P loan defaults to stock market volatility. This study contributes to existing literature on risk management models with its consideration of country-specific factors, paving the way to future best practices in the market.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46907,"journal":{"name":"Global Finance Journal","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142441386","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mechanism analysis shows that increased risk disclosure weakens the link between deregulation of market entry barriers and new firm entry, suggesting that such disclosures can effectively deter potential competitors.

We also find that Monday IPOs receive less analyst coverage than other-day IPOs, despite their underwriting fees being the same and their total underwriter compensation being higher. Therefore, Monday IPOs are more likely to change lead underwriters in subsequent equity offerings and have a higher risk of delisting as aftermarket support and maintaining good relations with investment banks are critical for their long run survival.
