Title: The effect of environmental performance and disclosure on financial performance
Abstract:
The research objective is to obtain empirical evidence that environmental performance and environmental disclosure affect the financial performance. The distinctive point of this study with previous research is the use of different variables and measurement method. Previous researchers examined the relationship between variables used while the researchers wanted to test the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable and to use control variables of the firm size and company growth. The hypothesis of this study is based on stakeholder theory, legitimacy theory, signalling theory and political economic theory. Purposive sampling method is used to gather the data of the manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and PROPER program 2010-2014. Multiple linear regressions are used as the analysis method, and type of the data is secondary by using the documentation method. The study result shows that environmental performance and environmental disclosure positively significantly affect financial performance.

Title: Constructed interpretation of tax compliance through the historicity, rationality, and actuality of Pancasila (cases in Indonesia)
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to construct an interpretation of the tax compliance of taxpayers participating in the Indonesian government's tax amnesty. This research is qualitative in nature, in accordance with Latif's thoughts on the historicity, rationality, and actuality of Pancasila (Indonesia's five pillars of the nation). This idea is considered appropriate to be used to construct the basis of tax policy founded on the ideology of Pancasila. The results reveal that the taxpayers' initial view on tax compliance is based on an assumption of 'homo economicus' (economic man), which prioritises individualism, materialism, rationalism, and atheism. The constructed interpretation of tax compliance is centralised on religiosity, humanity, and 'gotong royong' (mutual cooperation) in order to realise the embodiment of social justice. The basic assumption for the interpretation of tax compliance is socio-religious, being a reflection of the Indonesian human character.

Title: Analysis of ESOP implementation determinants at companies in Indonesia
Abstract:
Employee stock option plan (ESOP) represents one of the compensation forms conducted by a company to overcome the agency cost problems. The objective of this study is to analyse the ESOP implementation determinants. They include total assets (TA), debt to equity ratio (DER), market to book value ratio (MBR), growth, current ratio (CR), and time interest earned ratio (TIER) on the implementation of ESOP for companies in Indonesia. The population of the research was all of the companies which implement the ESOP and which are listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). Its samples were 34 companies. The result of this study shows that the company size, leverage, growth, and liquidity has a significantly negative effect on the ESOP implementation. The enterprises which valued from the MBR and TIER have a significant positive effect on the ESOP implementation.

Title: Perception of contractual risk allocation in the oil and gas contracts in Malaysia
Abstract:
Oil and gas projects are risky undertakings, which may cause severe damages to property and the environment, not to mention, personal injury and death to personnel. Contractual provision such as an indemnity and mutual hold harmless clause is used as a tool in allocating the risks. However, as a consequence of the private and government litigation arising from the Macondo oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, evidence suggests that operators generally are seeking to modify the established approach to liability allocation through individual contract negotiations with contractors. This scenario has significant and potentially adverse financial implications for the contractors and for the long-term sustainability of the industry. An empirical study was conducted to investigate the issues and problems with regard to contractual risk allocation in oilfield service contracts in Malaysia. The methodology employed in this paper will essentially be a combination of literature review and qualitative study.

Title: Does export promotion policy benefit for ASEAN economic development?
Abstract:
The main objective of this research is to analyse whether the export promotion policy can benefit ASEAN economic growth. The study applies secondary data from 1993 to 2015 in five countries of ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and Singapore. 3SLS methods are applied in this study. The results suggest that the import substitution policy implemented in five ASEAN countries tend to accelerate the economic growth through agroindustry advancement. However, for non-agricultural base countries, promotion export would speed up industrialisation toward rapid economic growth.

Title: Identification of the connection between tourism demand and economic growth in ASEAN-3
Abstract:
This paper is based on the Bayesian inference to explore two purposes. First, the specific objective is proposed to consider an empirical analysis employing the panel Bayesian vector autoregressive (PBVAR) model. Secondly, the empirical study is aimed to analyse the driven factor between tourism demands and service sectors by adapting Granger-causality Bayesian test. Technically, the simulated computation called Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach is employed to investigate the research's findings. Yearly time-series data of tourism growth (tourist arrivals) and economic growth (service sectors) in ASEAN-3 countries such as Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia were observed during 1996-2015. The empirical results of this study will deeply clarify the linkage between tourism demands and economy in ASEAN-3 countries and give recommendations to more assure that a suitable tourism policy is appropriately activated.

Title: Influence of personality on impulsive buying behaviour among Indonesian young consumers
Abstract:
Personality is inner psychological characteristics that reflect how a consumer reacts to the environment especially in buying behaviour. The objective of this research is to examine the influence of five personality traits, called the big five personality traits that consist of extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experiences on impulsive buying behaviour. Using the purposive sampling method, respondents were collected from 150 Indonesian young consumers with the help of self-administered questionnaire survey approach. Data analysis was done using multiple regression analysis. Importantly, five hypotheses were examined and two were found to be supported. The result showed that extraversion and agreeableness personalities partially influenced impulsive buying behaviour. Also, results indicated that conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness to experiences did not influence impulsive buying behaviour. This research is one of the initial attempts in Indonesian context to understand the importance of personality value among young consumers directing to impulsive buying behaviour.

Title: Determinants of adoption of mobile banking: evidence from rural Karnataka in India
Abstract:
Mobile banking has revolutionised the way banks create value for customers by providing low-cost self-service alternatives without temporal and spatial limitations. This paper aims to determine the factors that have a bearing on the adoption of mobile banking services by using a unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. An empirical descriptive study was carried out in Udupi district of the state of Karnataka to collect data using judgement sampling procedure. The data were analysed using partial least square method of structural equation modelling. Performance expectancy and effort expectancy significantly influences the intention to adopt. Multi-group analysis by gender reveals that the effect of performance expectancy on adoption intention is considerably higher for male than female population. For widespread adoption of mobile banking, rural customers should perceive the process of banking transactions as convenient, easy-to-use and understand and publicise the usefulness of electronic medium over traditional medium through awareness campaigns.

Title: Operating the impossible trinity before and after the global financial crisis 2007-2008: evidence in Vietnam
Abstract:
This paper focuses on analysing the changes in the impossible trinity administration in Vietnam before and after the global financial crisis 2007-2008. Using the indices representing the impossible trinity, including MI, ERS, and FO, as well as the regression models based on the ARDL method, the authors found that during the study period, the Vietnamese government had selected the exchange rate stability on the list of priorities. The combination with another goal in the impossible trinity, however, changed over two phases. In the period before the crisis, the financial integration was more focused while in the period after the financial crisis, the goal of monetary independence received greater attention. We also discovered that the Vietnamese government was likely to regulate the impossible trinity policies under the intermediary regime that showed the indicators of the impossible trinity with the value approaching 0.5.

Title: Determinants of momentum strategy and return in short time horizon: case in Indonesian stock market
Abstract:
This research examined momentum profitability over a various time horizon and its sources in Indonesian stock market. The results show that the profitability of momentum return was inversely related to its holding period. The average return for 60 days strategy was significantly higher than buy-and-hold, while the return for 10 days strategy was significantly lower from buy-and-hold. In the section of momentum return sources, it is found that sector rotation is significant in explaining momentum returns in both winner and loser portfolio for all time horizons, while other variables have mixed influence.

Title: The relationship between competitive advantage and the value relevance of accounting information
Abstract:
This study examines the relationship between competitive advantage and the value relevance of accounting information. The advantage that a firm has over its competitors can be defined as its relative efficiency in transforming the performance of key success factors into the firm's profitability. We classify firm-year observations into lifecycle stages and measure the efficiency using data envelopment analysis (DEA) in each of the different lifecycle stages. Our results indicate that the efficiency has a positive relationship with the stock price of a firm and decreases (or increases) the value relevance of book value per share (BPS) (or earnings per share (EPS)). The current study captures a firm's competitive advantage by a single efficiency score and reveals that the efficiency has a positive impact on firm value.

Title: Is the common (consolidated) corporate tax base a suitable solution for SMEs?
Abstract:
The common (consolidated) corporate tax base (C(C)CTB) represents one of the most ambitious projects in the history of corporate taxation in the European Union, which introduced cross-border loss offsetting and the consolidation of profits or losses with apportionment between Member States via an apportionment formula. The implementation of the C(C)CTB system can bring the advantages, such as reduced compliance costs of taxation, unified rules for tax base construction, the establishment of the possibility of cross-border loss offsetting, the elimination of transfer pricing issues and others. With respect to SMEs, we research whether SMEs would prefer to opt for C(C)CTB system, mainly in the context of advantages which are offered by this system. Based on the result of our research we can conclude that SMEs would opt for the CC(C)TB system.

Title: Clean coal project: carbon certificate pricing
Abstract:
New ultra super-critical coal power plants are proposed to be built in southern Thailand. In this paper, I am comparing different levelised cost of energy in per megawatt-hour for an old and new technology clean coal power plant to other electricity producing power plants. A hypothetical carbon certificate price per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent is estimated that relates the extra cost of this new coal power plant to the cheapest but dirtiest option, a lignite power plant. The results show that the Thai government is willing to subsidize the abatement of air pollution. Furthermore, renewables keep being more expensive even after including the external costs of air pollution, except for onshore wind energy. However, no comment can be made which option should be strictly preferred as the electricity price and the environmental costs are only part of the political decision for a country on which fuel mix to choose.

Title: Infrastructural provision of international entrepreneurship: theory and practice
Abstract:
Purpose: The purpose of the paper is to determine the differences between the theory and practice of infrastructural provision of international entrepreneurship and to develop recommendations for their elimination. Design/methodology/approach: Methodological basis of the research includes the method of systemic, comparative, problem and SWOT-analysis, as well as the method of graphical representation of information. Findings: As a result of the research, the author comes to the conclusion that existing theoretical ideas on infrastructural provision of international entrepreneurship contradict practical realia as to all its main components: institutional, financial, human, and transport and logistical infrastructure. Practical implications: Weak fundamental basis of the theory of infrastructural provision of international entrepreneurship is a restraining factor on the path of its development. Originality/value: In order to solve the determined scientific and practical problem, the work offers a new practice-oriented model of infrastructural provision of international entrepreneurship, which allows eliminating the gap between theory and practice.

Title: Local governments' expenditures efficiencies and determinants: the case of Indonesia
Abstract:
This paper investigates the efficiency of local governments' expenditures in Indonesia, setting Human Development as the designated outputs. Annual data of 34 provinces in Indonesia during 2013-2016 are collected for conducting this research. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is used to measure the efficiency levels. In addition, the efficiencies' performance also measured by using Malmquist index. We found that, during the analysis period, the efficiency levels of local government expenditures of provinces outside of Java Island are still deficient. DKI Jakarta, DI Yogyakarta, and West Java Province are always located in the efficient frontiers. However, East Kalimantan, Papua, and South Sumatera have been the most improved provinces among others. Further study on the impact of exogenous factors affecting the efficiency scores through Tobit regression yields that Population, Government accountability, Democratic Index, number of universities and local investments have a positive-significant impact on the efficiency scores whereas Area coverage correlates negatively.
