Recovery or Illusion? Assessing Corporate Performance and Investor Views in the Aftermath of Crisis

2024-10-31T08:12:45+00:00

This research is dedicated to examining the pre-and-post impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial outcomes and market perceptions within the consumer goods industry, specifically focusing on the food and beverage segment. Employing a purposive sampling strategy for data collection and difference testing methods for analysis, this study adopts a quantitative approach to fulfill its objectives.

Market perception was assessed using Tobin's Q ratio, while financial performance was evaluated through five distinct ratios. These ratios were subjected to an exhaustive examination utilizing both parametric and non-parametric difference tests. The empirical results reveal that, except for the debt ratio, which remained statistically unchanged, the other four ratios—current ratio, total assets turnover ratio, return on investment ratio, and earnings per share ratio—exhibited significant alterations pre-and-post-pandemic. Market valuation remained consistent across the temporal divide. This investigation contributes valuable insights into the financial health and market perceptions of companies, offering investors a refined basis for making informed decisions.

The real implication of this research is that it can be used as a consideration for companies in making decisions to improve corporate social responsibility so that companies with good ESG performance can be used as a review tool for investors in investing.

Leading Indicators of Tax Revenue: Does Government Spending Matter?

2024-11-12T07:05:16+00:00

Indonesia's tax ratio has shown a declining trend over the past fifteen years. Tax revenue is an essential component in the provision of public goods and services. Therefore, it is vital to empirically examine the leading indicators that determine tax revenues. One of the concepts underlying the determination of tax revenue is the spend-tax hypothesis. This hypothesis states that the fiscal authority will determine the level of government spending and tax revenues will be targeted accordingly. The objective of this study is to empirically examine the leading indicators of aggregate tax revenues and its components and whether government spending is a determinant. In developing the estimated model, this study utilizes existing literature and the results of focused group discussions conducted with the Directorate General of Budget, Indonesian Ministry of Finance. This study utilizes monthly data to be more accurate in identifying trend changes and to get better estimates for strategic long-term forecasting, as required by fiscal authorities. To capture information affecting tax revenue and to overcome spurious regression, this study uses Partial Adjustment and Autoregressive Models. Those are consistent with the nature of determination of government budget in Indonesia which considers the values of past variables. The estimates show that government expenditure is an essential variable affecting tax revenue and its components, implying that government spending encourages economic activity. Since government spending is the dominant variable in affecting tax revenue and its components, expansionary fiscal policy can be implemented to increase total tax revenue and its components.

ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF CARBON TAX ON FOSSIL FUELS AND RENEWABLE ENERGY IN EUROPEAN COUNTRIES IN THE PERIOD 1996 – 2022

2024-10-31T08:12:50+00:00

This study aims to analyze the impact of carbon tax implementation on fossil fuel consumption and renewable energy development in European countries over the period 1996-2022. The increasing use of fossil fuels has become a global issue as their carbon emissions trigger climate change and other negative impacts. As a solution, renewable energy is seen as a cleaner and more environmentally friendly alternative. A carbon tax is implemented as one policy to encourage the transition to renewable energy by imposing a surcharge on fossil fuels based on the amount of carbon emissions produced. This study uses panel data to measure the effect of carbon tax on fossil fuel consumption and renewable energy use in European countries in the period 1996 - 2022. The results of the analysis show that the implementation of carbon tax has no significant effect on fossil fuel use but can increase the use of renewable energy in the sample countries. The findings provide important insights for Indonesian policymakers in designing carbon tax policies to support a more sustainable energy transformation.

2024-10-31T08:12:50+00:00

This study aims to analyze the direct and indirect effects of the operating cash ratio and leverage on financial distress with intellectual capital as a moderating variable. This study uses 240 analysis units from 48 property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2018-2022. Data analysis uses descriptive statistical analysis and moderated regression analysis. The results of the study show that the operating cash ratio has a negative effect on financial distress. Leverage proxied by DAR has a positive impact on financial distress. Intellectual capital cannot moderate the negative effect of the operating cash ratio on financial distress but can weaken the positive impact of leverage on financial distress. This study provides implications for company management to pay attention to the management of the operating cash ratio and leverage, as well as ensuring that the utilization of intellectual capital functions optimally to reduce the risk of financial distress.

Timeliness of Financial Reporting

2024-10-31T08:12:55+00:00

Timely financial reporting is a widespread challenge, affecting numerous publicly traded companies in Indonesia. An examination of data from the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) website, spanning the years 2010 to 2020, reveals that many companies submitted their financial reports past the deadline. The number of late submissions fluctuated over this period, with a noticeable decrease in 2010-2012 and 2016, followed by significant increases in 2013-2015 and 2018-2020. The year 2020 saw the highest number of late filers (96 companies), followed by 2015 (63 companies). This research delves into the elements that impact how quickly manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) release their financial reports. This research investigates the influence of several factors on the promptness of corporate reporting. Specifically, it examines how a company's profitability, financial distress, and the intricacy of its business operations impact the timeliness of its reporting. It also considers whether the size of a company influences these relationships. This study employs a quantitative approach, utilizing panel data regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with EViews 10 software to examine associations within the data. The results showed that profitability and complexity have a negative effect on the timeliness of financial reporting, while financial distress has a positive effect. Firm Size can moderate the effect of profitability on the timeliness of financial reporting. However, it cannot moderate the effect of financial distress and operating complexity on the timeliness of financial reporting.
