  • Corporate Social Responsibility and Earnings Management: A national culture perspective
    Caroline Keidann Soschinski, Roberto Carlos Klann, Moacir Manoel Rodrigues Jr.
    Brazilian Business Review, 2024
    This paper investigates the influence of national culture on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and earnings management (EM) to better understand whether culture influences the informational behavior of companies engaged in CSR. We provided evidence that national culture plays a role in the relationship between CSR and EM in 19,635 companies in 24 countries. Specifically, we find that individualism, masculinity, and indulgence cause a positive relationship between CSR and EM, revealing the opportunistic behavior of firms. In contrast, the power distance dimension negatively influences the relation, which means an informational firm behavior in this cultural context. Robustness tests confirmed these results. Our findings contribute to the literature by explaining the divergent results for CSR and EM, generating evidence that the national culture may help to explain why—in specific scenarios—CSR is used to mask EM and as a measurement for transparent information in others. Moreover, organizations can focus on control mechanisms to mitigate managers’ opportunistic behavior triggered by the influence of individualism, masculinity, and indulgence.
  • Effects of Diversification on Profitability and Operating Risk for Brazilian Publicly Traded Companies
    Camila Adam, Tatiane Meurer, Moacir Junior
    Brazilian Business Review, 2022
    This study analyzed the effect of industrial and international diversification on the profitability and operational risk of Brazilian companies. The sample comprised 210 publicly traded Brazilian companies, who trade shares on the B3 stock exchange. The results of the study showed that industrially diversified companies both reduce operational risk and increase profitability in terms of return on assets, while companies that are internationally diversified reduce their profitability. As well, the companies that diversify both industrially and internationally, see increasedoperational risk. This study is relevant to the investigation of the relationship of industrial and international diversification in companies’ operating results, as it indicates that, in the context of Brazil, industrial diversification tends to improve operating results, with an increase in profitability and a reduction in operating risk. DIVIND23: Industrial diversification with 2 or 3 segments; DIVIND45: Industrial diversification with 4 or 5 segments; DIVIND5: Industrial diversification with more than 5 segments; DIVINT1130: International diversification with 11 to 30% of sales to the foreign market; DIVINT3150: International diversification with 31 to 50% of sales to the foreign market; DIVINT50: International diversification with more than 50% of sales to the foreign market; DIVINDQTY: number of segments that the company operates; DIVINTSA: percentage of sales with the foreign market; DIVINDQTY X DIVINTSA: moderating variable between DIVINDQTY and DIVINTSA; LEV: leverage; SIZE: Natural logarithm of sales revenue; FA: fixed assets. The assumption of normality of the residues was carried out using the Shapiro Francia test. According to the number of observations and considering the Central Limit Theorem, the assumption of normality is relaxed. As for the homoscedasticity assumption, the White test was used. Source:
  • RETURN ON SHARE AND THE INFLUENCE OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
    Caroline Keidann Soschinski, Moacir Manoel Rodrigues Junior
    Revista De Gestao Social E Ambiental, 2022
    Purpose: This research aimed to analyze the influence of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices on the return on shares of Brazilian companies. Theoretical framework: Stock market investors analyze the behavior of companies when making decisions (Ball & Brown, 1968). Method/design/approach: It was used the Propensity Score Matching methodology to match companies engaged and not engaged in CSR, by criteria of similarity. Results and conclusion: The findings showed a positive relationship between CSR and the return on share, which demonstrates that the fact that companies engage in CSR, specifically in environmental-related actions, influences the higher market performance in terms of returns of shares. Research implications: It contributes in social terms, by motivating companies to engage in CSR, and in economic terms, by demonstrating that CSR has a positive impact on company value. Originality/value: This result contributes by showing that the environmental pillar of CSR positively impacts the capital market, which can be useful for companies when deciding on their investments in CSR and for shareholders because they understand that CSR creates value even in an emerging scenario like Brazil.
  • Corporate governance and capital asset pricing models
    ALYNE C. S. GANZ, JOSIANE O. SCHLOTEFELDT, MOACIR M. RODRIGUES JUNIOR
    Revista De Administracao Mackenzie, 2020
    Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the inclusion of corporate governance in the explanation of Fama and French’s (1993, 2015) three and five-factor asset pricing models. Originality/value: This research differs from other works by inserting corporate governance as an explanatory factor in the pricing model of financial assets. Thus, it is intended to contribute to the research area by trying to identify previously unexplored characteristics, as the proposed method, that helps and adds explanation to the pricing models of financial assets, thus helping investors and professionals in the financial area. Design/methodology/approach: The research sample consists of 387 companies listed in B3, in the period between 2012 and 2016. For data analysis, panel data regressions were used according to the methodology of Fama and French studies (1993, 2015) through the Stata software. Findings: The results indicate that corporate governance has a negative impact on the return of the actions of small companies with lower levels of corporate governance and that the reverse is true for large companies with high levels of governance. Other variables were also found to be impacting on stock returns, such as market value, book-to-market, profitability, and investments.
  • Measurement of Power Indexes in Weighted Voting Games by Monte-Carlo Simulation
    M.M. Rodrigues, V.E. Wilhelm
    IEEE Latin America Transactions, 2016
    This paper aims to present a simulation model, through the Monte Carlo method that measures the Power Index of the Banzhaf and Shapley-Shubik. The problematic has been prepared taking into consideration the complexity involved in the calculation these indices for large voting commissions. The study involved one simulation model for each power index, and made two simulations, the first with 10 thousand coalition and other with 100 thousand coalition successively repeated for 200 times. The results pointed to confirm the potential of the established simulation. The results presented absolute errors mean less than 10-3 for model with 10 thousand simulations and less than 10-4 for model with 100 thousand simulations. Likewise, analyzing linear correlation between the standard deviation of the estimates and the absolute error, it was confirmed that the standard deviation could be understood as a factor of control of the estimated error. It was concluded by satisfaction of aim of the research and verification of the Monte Carlo simulation as a potentially applicable to estimated Power Indexes Banzhaf and Shapley-Shubik.
  • Relation of management accounting attributes and the organizational life cycle stages
    Ilse Maria Beuren, Silene Rengel, Moacir Manoel Rodrigues Junior
    Innovar, 2015
    o estudo objetiva verificar se há relação entre o uso dos atributos da contabilidade gerencial e os estágios do ciclo de vida organizacional. Os atributos da contabilidade gerencial foram baseados no estudo de Moores e Yuen (2001) e os estágios do ciclo de vida organizacional na proposição de lester, Parnell e Carraher (2003). a população da pesquisa compreendeu as 264 empresas do segmento industrial de máquinas, aparelhos e materiais elétricos listadas na secretaria da Fazenda do estado de santa Catarina, Brasil, e a amostra constituiu-se dos 40 gestores que responderam o questionário. O uso dos atributos da contabilidade gerencial nos respectivos estágios do ciclo de vida organizacional foi evidenciado pela análise descritiva das respostas e o agrupamento das variáveis por meio das respectivas correlações pela aplicação da Análise das Componentes Principais. Os resultados mostram que os atributos da contabilidade gerencial, nos aspectos de seleção e de apresentação das informações, são mais utilizados nas empresas que se encontram nos estágios de crescimento e rejuvenescimento do que nas classificadas nos estágios de nascimento e declínio. Conclui-se que há relação entre o uso dos atributos da contabilidade gerencial e a evolução nos estágios do ciclo de vida das empresas pesquisadas, o que coaduna com os resultados de pesquisas que também adotaram as proposições dos autores que consubstanciaram este estudo.
