Abstract In this article, we propose an approach that can be employed to estimate prices in intra-group trade at times of economic turmoil, and to improve financial, management, and tax reporting by using current macroeconomic data to adjust historic benchmarks. We explored the use of a predictive model, that employs macroeconomic data, and in particular changes in GDP, to predict company profitability and arm’s length profit ranges. The results of our analysis show that there are correlations between changes in GDP and changes in certain P&L items of companies operating in Europe. While the relation might or might not be explained by a causal/inference model (Granger causality), it may have a practical use: to predict changes in the profitability of companies when company data are not available in real time (Shmueli, 2010).

Abstract Our study investigates the effects of foreign ownership on firm performance with respect to profitability, productivity, export intensity, and skills acquisition in Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries. This is particularly important given that in the last three decades, the stock of FDI has increased by over 20,000% in SSA countries. To achieve the objectives of this paper, we employed firm- and country-level data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys and the World Bank Development Indicators, respectively. Results of the least squares dummy variable (LSDV) and propensity score matching (PSM) estimations showed that foreign ownership was positively associated with higher levels of financial profitability, productivity, exports, and skilled labour acquisition. Policy implications were deduced from the findings.

Abstract Azerbaijan is known for its rich oil and natural gas resources and transit location in the Caspian basin. This article explores current political risks for the energy Multinational Corporations (MNC’s) in Azerbaijan. In order to identify a political risk, a literature review is conducted, highlighting four categories proposed by Fitzpatrick as the main framework to understand the conditions giving rise to them. The findings focus on oil price fluctuations, COVID-19 pandemic, war with Armenia, climate change and environmental issues, digitalisation and technology and possible developments in Iran as the new political risks for the energy MNC’s in Azerbaijan enforcing foreign investors to reconsider their risk analysis in this country.
