Specifically, this study has taken up this issue to capturing the governance-enterprise valuation following the indirect channel of financial slack in Pakistan. \u0000 Design/Methodology/Approach: The study examined the corporate governance and enterprise performance linkage, employing financial slack as a mediating variable. A market-based performance measure “Tobin’s Q” and corporate governance index are used. For the years 2005-2019, this empirical study looks at a large number of 180 firms in the Pakistani non-financial sector. For analysis, a variety of alternative specifications and estimate approaches of panel data analysis are used. \u0000Findings: The empirical findings support the hypothesis that the association between corporate governance and Tobin’s Q is likely to be significant. The novelty of the study lies in the governance-value linkage considering financial slack resource as mediator. The study also confirms partial mediation of financial slack, between CG and FP.  \u0000Implications/Originality/Value: This study examines the corporate governance standards in Pakistan, a developing nation with a fledgling stock market. The findings show that the organizations with effective corporate governance principles strive to deliver the best financial and market performance. It emphasizes that efficient corporate governance policies curtail the agency conflicts and costs. It is also argued that firms with effective corporate governance can enhance the efficiency of financial slack resources to enhance the efficiency of the firms. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":52706,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies","volume":"88 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78862302","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}

Efficiency and profitability ratios were taken as variables. Augmented dickey fuller unit root test was used to interpret the stationary in data. Data was found volatile in South Asian countries organization in terms of efficiency and profitability ratios. Results revealed that purchasing power among people of South Asia increased in terms of buying commodities as the stationarity in stock inventory did not investigate and it inclined with consistent growth gradually.

In the current sample of developing nations, developed two models'; model 1 consists of the domestic output gap, and the second model includes the foreign output gap. According to model 1, foreign globalization and imports boost the inflation level in developing countries and disaggregation analysis (low, lower-middle, and upper-middle-income countries). The output gap impedes inflation in overall, lower-middle, and upper-middle-income countries, while it boosts inflation in low-income nations. And unemployment level increases the inflation rate in the overall and middle-income groups, while in low- and high-income countries, it decreases. According to the second model, foreign globalization and the foreign output gap boost overall low-income, middle-income, and upper-middle-income groups. While import reduces the inflation level globally, while in low-income, middle-income, and upper-middle-income groups, it increases inflation. Finally, the unemployment level boosts the global inflation level and as well as in low income, and it impedes inflation rate in upper-middle-income group. Despite this, there is considerable variation in countries' effect, perhaps due to differences in political institutions' quality, central bank independence, exchange rate systems, financial development, and legal traditions.","PeriodicalId":52706,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting and Finance in Emerging Economies","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74617254","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}

This study aims to explore this in the context of developing country Pakistan. More specifically, this study investigates the effect of accounting conservatism on stock price crash risk. We also examine the complementary role of managerial and institutional ownership in strengthening this effect. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study conducts the panel data analysis of 155 nonfinancial firms listed in PSX from 2007 to 2019. This study calculates the C-Score to measure accounting conservatism. This study measures the firm’s stock price crash risk by calculating the DUVOL of weekly share prices. Findings: This study finds that there is a significant negative effect of accounting conservatism on firms’ stock price crash risk. This study also finds that managerial ownership enhances the stock price crash risk of the sample firms significantly as a moderator while there is no significant moderating influence of institutional ownership.
