Purpose: This paper aims to investigate the impact of government effectiveness on trade and financial openness in 35 selected countries around the globe. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative research approach was applied in the study using the generalized quantile panel regression approach to analyze the impact of identified variables in these selected countries. Panel quantile models with high estimation performance are preferred in the presence of excessive deviations and in cases where the normal distribution is invalid. Findings/results: The empirical findings indicate that selected countries with above-average governmental effectiveness, that is, with a well-established state bureaucracy and a historically strong state tradition, will further increase their activities toward international integration through financial and trade openness. Practical implications: This study aims to provide valuable information that governments and regulatory authorities can benefit from in their decision-making processes. Originality/value: In this study, it is preferred to use the trade openness of countries as the share of exports in total world exports and financial openness as the ratio of capital flows to world flows. In this way, these variables will provide new information to analyze the influence of government effectiveness. Implementing the generalized quantile panel regression technique can also be expressed as an innovation in this field of literature. Full article

Based on the ten areas that are measured by the ease of doing business (EDB) and based on the getting credit (GC) indicator, this study seeks to analyze factors that lead to a more favorable business climate in different countries. The methodology of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to determine the paths taken by configurations or conditions in which variables affect an outcome. The results showed that high EDB and GC scores may be obtained under specified levels of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) adoption degree and user experience requirements. Therefore, the adoption of IFRS could result in a better business climate in a nation since it would increase the comparability of financial statements, which will lower costs for investors, draw in foreign investors, and boost trust. Finally, the findings indicated that, depending on the presence of specific levels of GDP per capita, entrepreneurship, income group, and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, low or high values of IFRS adoption and high experience in applying IFRS are necessary to achieve high GC scores.

This article is devoted to the applied aspects of using the concept of the time value of money for the purpose of determining the present value of cash flows in conditions of asymmetric distribution of payments and facts of economic life over time. Currently, such situation is standard when doing business and should be thoroughly studied. The purpose of the study is to prove that the method of distribution of payments affects the result of discounting, and that this information is essential when making management decisions and should be disclosed to the user of the information. Based on the basic provisions of the theory of the time value of money and analyzing the specifics of the asymmetric distribution of the described events, the authors come to the conclusion that it is necessary to supplement the cost discounting methodology by including in it a description of the basic approaches to distribution. As such approaches, the use of distribution methods that were called First Payment First Sale (FPFS), First Payment Last Sale (FPLS), and Current Payment Current Sale (CPCS) are proposed. Use of these methods in certain calculations is the main novelty of this article. The difference that arises as a result of the use of different approaches to assessment in the conditions of asymmetric distribution is illustrated with the simulated data. Taking into account a specific approach to the distribution of cash flows leads to a better understanding of the basis for discounting indicators, improves the quality of information and the validity of management decisions based on it, and reduces the risks of choosing the wrong financing strategy.

This paper analyzes the transparency of reporting in e-commerce companies, which has a high impact on decision making. Stakeholders make sure that companies are as transparent as possible in their actions, and the information disclosed in annual reports is very credible. In this context, the highly asked for information refers to the structure of corporate governance, the activity of committees set by the board of directors, managerial strategies, human resource and sustainability policies, risks, financial reporting, financial and non-financial performance, etc. To test and validate the results of our research, we identified the 31 most efficient global e-commerce companies. For this purpose, 31 annual corporate reports were analyzed for 2019 and 2020 by extracting several independent variables: corporate governance, human resource policies, sustainable development, performance, risks and financial reporting. The results of the analysis were validated by using SmartPLS (v. 3.3.3) software. Full article
