This study investigates the relationship of the intellectual capital of a company (proxied by its intangible assets), with leverage and equity and capital structure. Our empirical results indicate that there is a negative relation between the intellectual capital (intangible assets) of a company and its leverage based on the Warsaw Stock Exchange main market and NewConnect alternative market. Moreover, the equity capital is found positively related to the level of intangibles in each of the two markets. These results support the thesis that intellectual capital (intangible assets) influences the capital structure of a company.

Background: Previous studies have shown that in some countries, liquid assets increased leverage while in other countries liquid firms were more frequently financed by their own capital and therefore were less leveraged. Objectives: The aim of this paper is to investigate the impact of liquidity on the capital structure of Croatian firms. Methods/Approach: Pearson correlation coefficient is applied to the test on the relationship between liquidity ratios and debt ratios, the share of retained earnings to capital and liquidity ratios and the relationship between the structure of current assets and leverage. Results: A survey has been conducted on a sample of 1058 Croatian firms. There are statistically significant correlations between liquidity ratios and leverage ratios. Also, there are statistically significant correlations between leverage ratios and the structure of current assets. The relationship between liquidity ratios and the short-term leverage is stronger than between liquidity ratios and the long-term leverage. Conclusions: The more liquid assets firms have, the less they are leveraged. Long-term leveraged firms are more liquid. Increasing inventory levels leads to an increase in leverage. Furthermore, increasing the cash in current assets leads to a reduction in the short-term and the long-term leverage.

This study investigates the potential effect of the management of working capital on the value of the industrial companies in Jordan, by studying determinants (company size, company growth, and leverage) that affect company value measured by Tobin's Q (TQ). Also it uses an improved methodology to produce three indexes (benchmarks) that can present the suitable information for mangers and investors. To achieve the objectives of the study, a sample constituted by forty-one (41) industrial companies was studied. The study covered the period from 2000 to 2007. Regression analysis and Mann-Whitney-U Test were used to test the hypotheses of the study. The results show that R2 for small size companies is higher than for big size companies. And it is noted that the average TQ for companies with big size is higher than the average for small-sized companies.

Profitability expresses the ability to make a profit from all the business activities of the company. It shows how efficiently management generates profit by utilizing all available resources. This paper examined the effects of specific company factors, namely independent variables such as: liquidity, company size, company age, tangible asset, leverage, company capital and growth of com-pany, on profitability represented by return on assets (ROA) and net profit margin (NPM) as a dependent variable. The sample in this study includes eleven insurance companies for the period 2015 - 2020. The regression results indicate that size, leverage and age of company, have significant effects on the ROA. Meanwhile in NPM of insurance companies in Kosovo size of company and firm growth have significant effects.

This paper aims to identify the effect of macroprudential policies and microprudential regulations and their interactions on the sensitivity of leverage and liquidity funding risk to the business cycle. Analysing the sample of 782 banks we find that both macroprudential and microprudential instruments have insignificant impact on the procyclicality of leverage in the non-crisis period. Macroprudential instruments decrease the procyclicality of liquidity risk during the non-crisis period and increase the procyclicality of leverage during the crisis. Restrictions on the range of activities conducted by banks reduce the procyclicality of liquidity risk during the non-crisis period. Interaction between the macroprudential instruments targeted at risk-taking by borrowers and restrictions on the range of activities taken by banks has been found to be effective in reducing the procyclicality of leverage during the crisis period.

We investigated 34 empirical studies aimed at examining the capital structure determinants in firms operating in Poland to test to what degree the financing patterns were steady during the observed period (2001-2012). Specifically, in conducting the survey we were motivated by the following research questions which constitute the objectives of the article: (1) which factors – country- or firm-specific – are more relevant in explaining leverage in Poland, (2) which theory – trade-off or pecking order – gains greater support in Poland, and (3) what is the significance of the optimal capital structure notion in Poland. Our results show that financing patterns changed importantly during the last 20 years, which manifests itself mainly in gradual increase in debt ratios with a dominant role of short-term debt, along with the decrease in the importance of country-specific factors (especially in large-sized, listed firms). The signs of the associations between leverage and the key firm-specific factors remained relatively stable during the investigated period, with the exception concerning tangibility. These signs provide greater support for pecking order theory, with at most a moderate role of the target capital structure.

This paper aims to identify the role of bank size for the sensitivity of leverage and liquidity funding risk to their determinants (both bank-specific and macroeconomic). Applying the two-step robust GMM estimator to individual bank data from over 60 countries covering the period 2000–2011 our study shows that increases in previous period funding liquidity risk are associated with increases in leverage in the full sample and in large banks, but not in other banks. The liquidity of large banks tends also to increase with leverage levels. With reference to the impact of macroeconomic conditions on leverage of banks we find that leverage of large banks is the most procyclical during a crisis period. Liquidity risk is procyclical during non-crisis periods. However, during a crisis period this liquidity risk is countercyclical, consistent with the view that even slight improvements in macroeconomic environment do not stimulate banks to increase their exposure to this risk. Such effect is particularly strong in the case of large banks. Generally, such counter-cyclicality of liquidity risk of large banks may result in weaker access to the bank financing necessary to stimulate investments in the real economy during a crisis period. This may have further negative consequences for the real economy, generating an extended period of sluggish economic growth.

The aim of this article is to identify systemically important banks on a European scale, in accordance with the criteria proposed by the supervisory authorities. In this study we discuss the analytical framework for identifying and benchmarking systemically important financial institutions. An attempt to define systemically important institutions is specified their characteristics under the existing and proposed regulations. In a selected group of the largest banks in Europe the following indicators ie.: leverage, liquidity, capital ratio, asset quality and profitability are analyzed as a source of systemic risk. These figures will be confronted with the average value obtained in the whole group of commercial banks in Europe. It should help finding the answer to the question, whether the size of the institution generates higher systemic risk? The survey will be conducted on the basis of the financial statements of commercial banks in 2007 and 2010 with the available statistical tools, which should reveal the variability of risk indicators over time. We find that the largest European banks were characterized by relative safety and without excessive risk in their activities. Therefore, a fundamental feature of increased regulatory limiting systemic risk should understand the nature and sources of instability, and mobilizing financial institutions (large and small) to change their risk profile and business models in a way that reduces the instability of the financial system globally.

Celem artykułu jest wyjaśnienie nieoczekiwanej odporności gospodarki polskiej na skutki globalnego kryzysu finansowego, mimo jej silnej integracji z gospodarkami innych krajów. Stawiamy tezę, że jedną z ważnych przyczyn tej odporności była niska zależność polskich firm od kredytu (niskie wykorzystywanie dźwigni finansowej). Dla wykazania tej tezy posługujemy się zarówno danymi makroekonomicznymi (stan i zmiany udziału kredytu i zobowiązań w bilansach firm o różnej wielkości), jak i danymi pochodzącymi z badań ankietowych przeprowadzanych corocznie na reprezentatywnej próbie firm przez GUS i NBP. Z badania wynika, że duża część firm w ogóle nie posługuje się kredytem. Nie są to jednak firmy o złej kondycji, którym odmówiono kredytu. Biorąc pod uwagę również dobrą kondycję finansową przedsiębiorstw w Polsce w ostatnich kilku latach należy zatem wnioskować, że mały zakres posługiwania się dźwignią finansową był świadomym wyborem przedsiębiorstw o lepszej kondycji finansowej które, zgodnie z teorią „pecking order”, posługiwały się w pierwszej kolejności środkami własnymi. Taka struktura finansowania powodowała ich relatywną odporność na okresowe zacieśnienie polityki kredytowej przez banki i, w konsekwencji, słabszą reakcję na warunki kryzysu finansowego.

EN

The article explores the extraordinary resilience of the Polish economy to the implications of the global financial crisis despite Poland’s strong integration with other economies. The authors hypothesize that one of the key reasons for this resilience is a low reliance on credit among Polish firms and their low use of financial leverage. To validate their hypothesis, the authors use both macroeconomic data (reflecting the role of credit in company balance sheets) and data from surveys carried out annually on a representative sample of companies by Poland’s Central Statistical Office (GUS) and the country’s central bank, the National Bank of Poland (NBP). The research shows that many firms decide against using credit at all if possible. Interestingly, the authors say, not only companies with a poor financial standing and those whose loan applications have been turned down follow this policy. Generally, Polish companies have been doing relatively well financially in recent years, the authors note, so their limited use of leverage is the result of a conscious choice rather than necessity, especially in the case of companies in relatively good shape. This is in line with the “pecking order” theory under which companies tend to obtain financing from sources that are readily available and then steadily move on to sources that may be more difficult to utilize. This means that a company is likely to make use of its internal resources first. Such a model of financing results in the relative resistance of Polish firms to any periodic tightening in bank lending policies and, consequently, in their greater resilience to the financial crisis, Boguszewski and Lissowska say.

This study analyzed the factors affecting the performance of 41 non-financial companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) using panel data over the period 2003 to 2013. A Hausman test results suggested the application of a random effects model for ROA and a fixed effects model for ROE. The empirical results of the estimation of both ROA and ROE show that corporate governance was statistically significant in determining the performance of firms and it had the expected sign (Positive). The leverage of the firm also had the expected negative sign and was statistically significant in explaining the performance of companies. Firm size and liquidity were however found to be statistically insignificant in determining the performance of these firms. Consistent with previous studies, the study concluded that board size, board independence and liquidity are key determinants of a firm’s financial performance. Consequently, the study recommends that a firm should ensure optimal board size, board independence (i.e increase the number of non-executive directors and sound liquidity management.The study recommends comparative studies to be undertaken on the factors influencing the financial performance of the financial and non-financial companies listed at the Nairobi securities exchange as well as those not listed. In addition, it recommends that further studies could be extended to analyze the factors affecting the performance of companies at cross-country level such as within the East African Community.

This paper focuses on regime survival in Zaire/Congo. The author will analyse the events in Zaire during Joseph Mobutu’s reign from 1960 to 1997 through the lens of regime and linkage theories. It is no secret that President Mobutu came to power with Western (US and Belgian) assistance. It is also no surprise that Mobutu was dependent on Western support to remain in power. But it is remarkable that when this support was suddenly withdrawn after the Cold War, Mobutu was able to resist both Western pressure to abdicate and internal opposition, and did so successfully until he was invaded by his smaller neighbours and fled in May 1997. If Mobutu was so dependent on Western support, how did he manage to keep his regime afloat at a time when diplomatic and financial ties were severed? How is it possible that he was able to cling on to power with democratic protests on his doorstep, with no capable army and no alternative great powers to court? The author will show that a combination of regime and linkage theories can formulate answer to these questions by linking the domestic and external relations in one model. This text will not provide a full historical overview of the events in Congo/Zaire from 1960 to 1997, but only pick out those phases, which are necessary to explain regime behaviour.

The goal of the article is to assess the exposure of gold mine stock prices to changes of its price between 1997 and 2016, using the gold price leverage as a measure expressed with the gold Beta. To implement this goal, an exponential model was constructed, and descriptive analysis was also used. Studies have shown that in the whole period analyzed the gold price leverage effect did not occur except in 3 companies. However, after the analyzed period was divided into subperiods (bull and bear gold market), the leverage effect was reported except for 5 companies during the bull market period. Therefore, the length of the analyzed period significantly impacts the obtained results. They are crucial to investors choosing between physical gold regarded as safer in the long run, and mining stocks, in which case they expect not only the leverage effect but also other benefits.

Celem artykułu jest ocena ekspozycji kursów akcji kopalni złota na zmiany jego ceny w latach 1997–2016 przy zastosowaniu jako miary dźwigni ceny złota, wyrażonej betą złota. Dla realizacji tego celu zbudowano model potęgowy, posłużono się także analizą opisową. Badania wykazały, że w całym analizowanym okresie, oprócz 3 spółek, nie wystąpił efekt dźwigni ceny złota. Natomiast po podzieleniu analizowanego okresu na subokresy (hossy i bessy na rynku złota), z wyjątkiem 5 spółek w okresie hossy, stwierdzono efekt dźwigni. Długość okresu analizy ma zatem duży wpływ na otrzymane wyniki. Są one istotne dla inwestorów dokonujących wyboru między fizycznymi produktami złota, uważanymi za bezpieczniejsze w dłuższym okresie, a akcjami kopalni, w przypadku których oczekują oni nie tylko efektu dźwigni, ale i innych korzyści.

Structured products have become a convenient instrument allowing financial investors to gain exposure to commodity price risk. Due to prolonged rally in precious metal prices these commodities have drawn particular attention of portfolio investors in recent years. Structured products are offered both: on the OTC markets as well as on organized exchanges. Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) have introduced first precious metal structured products in 2007. During the year of 2012 GPW significantly increased its range of structured products, which now includes five types of instruments: capital protection certificates, bonus certificates, tracker certificates, turbo certificates and factor certificates. They offer investors a wide range of investment strategies from simple reference commodity price tracking (trackers) to agressive strategies based on leverage and short positions. Although trading history is still short and structured products are traditionally relatively illiquid instruments, the data from 2012 and 2013 show that these instruments (particularly products based on silver and gold prices) are among most actively traded structuredproducts on GPW.

With the end of the Cold War, Western Balkans countries have embraced the perspective of integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures, with the exception of Serbia and Bosnia-Herzegovina regarding accession in NATO. The return of international system from hegemonic to competitive followed by the ambiguities that accompany the integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures marked the return of competitors like China, Russia and Turkey in the regional affairs. To map out sources of influence and the context in which foreign interferences affect decision-making and interests, transfer ideas and norms in the region, the paper uses the concept of linkages that facilitate the understanding of opportunities and constrains, benefits and costs resulting from established relationship between Western Balkan countries and different international and regional powers. The paper makes a multi-level investigation of linkages developed between Western Balkans and the leverage of the most influential actors during the last decade, without undermining historical and societal context that favor of disfavor them.

Background: The objective of this study is to determine the impact of concentrated leverage and ownership (high levels of control and power) on firm performance in the case of Pakistan’s logistics sector separately in the presence and absence of growth options available to the firm. Both leverage and ownership concentration can have a significant influence on firm performance in either a positive or a negative way. Methods: In the data sample of this study, 141 companies in Pakistan listed on the Karachi Stock Exchange were selected with a study window from 2008 to 2018. The selection criteria for our sample study are based on firms with the highest market capitalization. Using a Panel based regression methodology, Generalized Methods of Estimating Equations are applied, which cover for 1st and 2nd order serial correlation and controls for endogeneity and autocorrelation problems. Results: The overall results indicate that the availability and non-availability of growth options to firms are very important factors in analyzing ownership concentration and debt influence on firm performance. This paper takes growth option availability and non-availability as dummy variables and finds that in the presence of growth options, non-linear relations are found between firm performance and ownership concentration and positive significant relations of debt with firm performance. Whereas, in the absence of growth opportunities, inverse parabola relations are depicted of ownership concentration and firm performance, and negative relations between debt and firm performance. Conclusions: Financial leverage represents a two part structure, negative in the presence of growth options and positive in the absence of growth options. The study demonstrates that high levels of power concentrated in the hands of owners leads to a convergence and entrenchment effect depicting non-linear relations with financial performance in both the availability and non-availability of growth options. Furthermore, the study also revealed that the explanatory power of results with a sales rate of growth (as a growth options measurement proxy) is higher than the Price to Earnings Ratio measurement proxy.

Wstęp: Celem pracy jest określenie wpływu struktury własnościowej firmy na efekty jej działalności w obszarze sektora logistycznego w Pakistanie w przypadku opcji możliwości rozwojowych firmy oraz jej braku. Struktura własnościowa ma istotny wpływ zarówno pozytywny jak i negatywny na efekty działalności firmy. Metody: W celu uzyskania danych do analizy, wybrano 141 firm pakistańskich, będących obecnych na giełdzie w Karachi. Dane pochodziły z okresu 2008-2018. Kryterium wyboru tych firm była najwyższa rynkowa kapitalizacja. Dane poddano analizie statystycznej za pomocą metody GEE (generalized estimating equation) stosowanej dla problemów endogeniczności i autokorelacji. Wyniki: Uzyskane wyniki pokazują możliwości i ich brak dla różnych opcji wzrostu firm jako bardzo ważny czynnik wpływu struktury własnościowej oraz zadłużenia na efekty działalności firmy. W przypadku istnienia możliwości rozwoju dla firmy, wykryto zależność pomiędzy efektami działalności firmy and pozytywną istotną zależność pomiędzy zadłużeniem a efektami działalności firmy. W przypadku braku możliwości rozwoju zaobserwowane negatywną zależność pomiędzy strukturą własnościową a efektywnością firmy jak również negatywną zależność pomiędzy zadłużeniem a efektami działalności firmy. Wnioski: Dźwignia finansowa ma dodatni wpływ w przypadku istnienia możliwości rozwoju i negatywny w przypadku jego braku. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują, że skupienie władzy w małym gronie właścicieli prowadzi do konwergencji i efektu „okopania się” w połączeniu z nieliniową zależnością od wyników finansowym w przypadku zarówno brak jak i występowania możliwości rozwoju firmy.

W artykule analizowane są przedsiębiorstwa notowane na GPW z uwzględnieniem wartości intelektualnych prawych i decyzji finansowych. Jeśli przedsiębiorstwo decyduje się budować strategię związaną z innowacjami, powinno zarządzać finansami w sposób specyficzny dla tej grupy przedsiębiorstw. Wartość przedsiębiorstwa powinna się zwiększać jako rezultat skoordynowanych decyzji w obszarze innowacyjności i finansów. W artykule tym badane są relacje pomiędzy wartością aktywów niematerialnych i prawnych w firmie a strategią zarządzania płynnością, zarządzaniem gotówką, zyskownością, pojemnością zadłużeniową i wartością rynkową. Zależność pomiędzy tymi czynnikami wskazuje, że strategia oparta na innowacjach powinna być wspierana decyzjami finansowymi, które prowadzą firmę do wzrostu wartości.

This paper investigates the companies listed on WSE in the context of intangibles and financial management. If a company decides to build its strategy on innovation, it will have to manage the finances according to some rules specific for innovation based entities. The value of a company should grow as a result of joint decisions in the field of innovation and finances. Specifically, this paper investigates the influence of company’s intangibles on its liquidity strategy, cash management, profitability, debt capacity and market value. As a result of analysis it has been found that there exist relationships among those factors, indicating that innovation based strategy should be supported by financial decisions that enable the company to increase its value.

The aim of this article is to identify systemically important banks on a European scale, according the criteria proposed by supervisory authorities. In this study, we discuss the analytical framework for identifying and benchmarking systemically important financial institutions. We selected a group of 36 largest banks in Europe and analyzed their risk indicators, i.e.: leverage, liquidity, capital ratio, asset quality and profitability, as a source of systemic risk. The aim of the study is to find out whether the size of an institution generates higher systemic risk. We find that risk indicators of excessive debt, liquidity, capital adequacy and effectiveness for the largest commercial banks in Europe do not differ from the average across Europe.

Obecny kryzys ujawnił ograniczenia tradycyjnych modeli, które abstrahowały od znaczenia banków i innych pośredników finansowych w przekazywaniu impulsów koniunkturalnych. Kryzys ten naświetlił kluczową rolę instytucji finansowych w rozprzestrzenianiu i pogłębieniu wahań koniunkturalnych nie tylko w poszczególnych krajach, co było dostrzegane już wcześniej, ale również w skali międzynarodowej. Dla transmisji impulsów koniunkturalnych za pośrednictwem banków kluczowe znaczenie mają ich bilanse. Dzieje się tak przynajmniej z trzech powodów. Po pierwsze, z bilansami banków związane jest działanie mnożnika kredytowego. Po drugie, bilans wpływa na wykorzystywanie przez banki dźwigni finansowej. Po trzecie, stan bilansu wpływa na funkcjonowanie rynku międzybankowego. Banki uczestniczą również w dwóch formach w klasycznym procesie zarażenia. Pierwszą z nich są zachowania stadne, druga natomiast jest związana z instytucją wspólnego kredytodawcy. Wszystkie te kwestie oraz znaczenie banków prowadzących operacje transgraniczne dla transmisji koniunktury zostały omówione w niniejszym tekście.

The current crisis has disclosed constraints to traditional models that neglected the importance of banks and other financial intermediaries in transmission of business situation impulses the crisis has confirmed the key role of financial institutions in proliferating and deepening business situation fluctuations not only in individual countries, which was observed previously, but also in international scale. It is balance sheets of banks that are of major significance for the transmission of business situation impulses. There are at least three reasons for the above. Firstly, the balance sheets of banks are influenced by the credit multiplier. Secondly, the balance sheet has an impact on the use of financial leverage by banks. Thirdly, the state of the balance sheet influences the functioning of interbank market. Moreover, banks are also involved dually in a classic process of infection. One of the ways refers to flock-like behavior, and the other is connected with the institution of the common creditor. All these issues as well as the importance of banks operating across-the-borders for business situation transmission have been discussed in this paper.
