ABSTRACT By drawing on the panel data of health care inputs and outputs from 31China’s provinces in the period 2004–2020, we apply the Malmquist DEA model to measure the TFP, TC (Technology change), EC (Efficiency change), PEC (Pure efficiency change or pure technical efficiency change) and SEC (Scale efficiency change) of the provincialgovernment’s health care expenditure. We find that the average TFP of China’s 31 provincial health care expenditure was lower than 1. We note this applies irrespective of the implementation of NHCR (New Health Care Reform), and also observe the average TFP was much higher after NHCR was implemented.

ABSTRACT This article revisits the Portfolio Theory of Inflation (PTI), with a view to further articulating its findings and implications. The article adds to the micro-foundations of the PTI, framing more rigorously the role of global investors as international allocators of capital resources, and providing richer analysis of their interaction with macroeconomic policies at country level. The article explores how country credibility enters the capital allocation choice process of global investors and how global investor choices shape the space available to country policy making, determining the extent to which the effect of macro-policies dissipates into exchange rate depreciation and higher inflation.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated research model and construct research hypotheses based on an extensive review of the published empirical research, theoretical foundations and financial performance measures relating to corporate governance. Literature indicates there is no ‘one size fits all’ governance mechanism. Four elements were found to be suitable for examining corporate governance. For selecting financial performance measures, the most meaningful results could be attained through a combination of ROA/ROE, Tobin’s Q, Company’s share price, alongside the CG Index.

ABSTRACT This study examines how financial sector transparency (FST) administered through credit information sharing helps reduce the BLC growth induced by PBC in an emerging economy in Africa. The study employs twenty-seven 27 banks in Ghana over three (3) different political election cycles between 2006 and 2016. The results are estimated using robust random effect panel models with technological and year effect controls. The results shows that (i) PBC increases liquidity creation by banks, (ii) FST administered through credit information sharing encourages BLC, (iii) the joint term of PBC and FST yields a negative synergetic effect on BLC and (iv) promoting FST dampens the growth in liquidity creation induced by PBC in Ghana. These results imply that bank managers, regulators and policymakers must be mindful of liquidity creation especially during election periods since it can lead to soaring credit defaults and losses. Also, FST can be used as tool for suppressing growth in liquidity creation induced through PBC by help banks screen out bad political dealings and politicians.

ABSTRACT Fiscal deficits, the result of the government’s fiscal policy in the direction of promoting economic growth and development, can be inflationary and cause social instability. Does the fiscal deficit – inflation relationship depend on the governance environment? To answer this question, the study uses the two-step difference GMM Arellano-Bond estimator to investigate the effects of fiscal deficit, governance, and their interaction on inflation for a sample of 34 developed countries with good governance environment and a sample of 86 developing countries with bad one from 2002 to 2019. The robustness of estimates is tested by the one-step difference GMM Arellano-Bond estimator. The estimated results show the fiscal deficit – inflation relationship strongly depends on the governance environment. Indeed, fiscal deficit and governance are deflationary in developed countries but inflationary in developing ones. In addition, public debt stimulates inflation in both two groups of countries. These findings suggest some important policy implications for governments in developing countries in reforming and improving the governance environment.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the performance of the Systematic Investment Plan (SIP) and different market timing strategies. The components of the NIFTY50 index are considered for the analysis. The empirical results suggest SIP as a suitable investment strategy for long-term investments and for the stocks belonging to least and moderately volatile. During shocks, absolute momentum investment is a superior short-term investment strategy for highly volatile sectors. Fundamental values also play an important role in deciding the suitable investment strategy. Over the long run, stocks with a higher return on capital employed (ROCE), favours the SIP investment strategy.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to quantify the role of various economic, demographic, and institutional characteristics in the insurance market growth in Asia and to evaluate causality between insurance and economic growth. This paper employed the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) to identify the drivers of insurance market growth and panel Granger causality test to empirically assess causality between insurance and economic growth. For analysis, a sample of 37 Asian countries is considered over 16 years from 2002 to 2017. The study identified that the relationship between insurance market growth and its drivers is different across the Asian regions.

ABSTRACT The mutual fund flow–performance relationship remains the interest of academic researchers all the time. It is widely accepted that the flow performance relationship curve is convex in nature. Unfortunately, we have very limited knowledge about the sources behind this convexity. This study posits a new variable, fund governance, that impacts the convexity of the flow performance relationship. The estimation technique applied in this study is the least square regression model with white robust standard error and covariance matrix. The results exhibit that the convexity in the flow performance relationship is positively related to good fund governance practices.
