In this study, we consider the spatial dependence effects in an empirical model measuring local banks' tax behaviour, assessing the interdependence between geographical units and the related spillover effects. Our results strongly support the existence of co-movements among banks' tax avoidance policies. The findings rely on the assumption local ba...
Article
This study analyzes the relationship between mid‐sized blockholders and firm risk. We show that ownership structure matters for firm risk, beyond the first largest blockholder. Firms with multiple blockholders take more risk than firms with just one blockholder, even when controlling for the stake of the largest blockholder. Consistent with the div...

The goal of this study is to examine knowledge sharing as a boundary condition under which employee innovation can be enhanced in response to the job stress induced by the COVID‐19 pandemic. We argue that when stressed employees share knowledge, they can expand their knowledge base and thereby enhance their innovative potential. Consistent with our...

This paper examines how corporate social responsibility (CSR) affects bank efficiency in a sample of large commercial banks across 22 countries over the 2013–2017 period. We used a one‐step model of stochastic frontier analysis for panel data to estimate bank profit efficiency and found that the greater the activities in the social and environmenta...

Our results suggest that cash holdings have a positive effect on operating performance, supporting the relevance of precautionary savings motive for SMEs. Maintaining a buff...
Article
While substantial evidence is emerging internationally on higher risk aversion among women than among men, there is less evidence on women’s business choices. We explore some of the reasons for the relationship between gender diversity and cash holdings. Specifically, this paper focuses on the choices involving the stock of cash held by firms in wh...

Through the use of metaanalysis, there emerges a prevalent positive effect of ownership concentration on firm value, and a non-monotonic effect be...

This article sheds light on the mixed empirical evidence concerning financial constraint and investment sensitivity to cash flow. The literature suggests that measuring financial constraint is far from straightforward, and we therefore propose a cluster analysis procedure to identify unambiguous groups of constrained firms. We found the investment...
