ABSTRACTThe complete operating cycle of the organisational economic entity provides a connection between its actions and those actions that take place in the environment where it operates, which are deemed to be natural reactions of the environment to the operation of the organisational economic entity. The way in which the environment reacts to its operation must be understood as being the nature of the relations between events, factors and structures of the environment and not as an answer to what the organizational ecomic entity does. The same action of the organisational economic entity could therefore determine different environmental reactions to various moments and various actions. This is because organizational economic entities act under the conditions of the restrictions imposed by the environment. There are few cases where these restrictions are not observed and the environment reacts unambiguously. But, most of the time, the operating range is relatively tight, and inside of it only a very low part of it can be assigned to the actions taken by the organization. It is not insignificant for a system to ensure that the events observed are representative for its universe, that they are observed in a precise and coherent manner and that there are analysis patterns, deeds scientifically established to enable valid estimations and deductions.

Key words: ambiguous environment, preferences, division. / information engineering, decision, intelligence of complex systems

ABSTRACTThis study investigates the impact of petroleum profit tax on the economic growth of Nigeria. To achieve the objective of this paper, relevant secondary data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) from 1970 to 2010. The secondary data collected from the relevant government agencies in Nigeria were analysed with relevant econometric tests of Breusch-Godfrey Serial Correlation LM, White Heteroskedasticity, Ramsey RESET, Jarque Bera, Johansen Co-integration, and Granger Causality. The results show that there exists a long run equilibrium relationship between economic growth and petroleum profit tax. It was also found that petroleum profit tax does granger cause gross domestic product of Nigeria. On the basis of the empirical analysis, the paper concludes that petroleum profit tax is one of the most important components direct taxes in Nigeria that affects the economic growth of the country and therefore should be properly managed to reduce the level of evasion by petroleum exploration companies in Nigeria. The paper recommends among others that companies involved in petroleum operations should be properly supervised by the relevant tax authority (FIRS) to reduce the level of tax evasion; government should show more accountability in the management of tax revenue and finally, the level of corruption in Nigeria and that of government officials should be drastically reduced to win the confidence of tax payers for voluntary tax compliance.

ABSTRACT-The financial crisis, after pushing governments to adopt exceptional measures to bail out banks and launch challenging plans to revive the economy, has come to expose the sovereign debt of many countries at risk of ”default”. For this reason, the European institutions and national governments have had to intervene and to develop tools for crisis management, such as loans to Greece and the mechanism of European financial assistance, both to strengthen the devices of crisis prevention, based on fiscal consolidation. Pending the completion of the institutional strategy aimed at coordinating European economic policy and budget, all states were required to adopt drastic measures to rebalance national accounts and return to the Maastricht’s criteria.

This paper aims to analyze the performance of financial markets over the past tree months, thus representing a true report of what that was and what will happen.

ABSTRACT-The unstable US economy has forced many executives to make the difficult decision to close factories and set up operations elsewhere to take advantage of low-wages and better business environments.  The loss of production jobs has been particularly economically devastating in the traditionally manufacturing-based areas of the country (Teaford, 1994).  The Rust Belt, often referred to as the Manufacturing Belt, consists of northern Midwestern and Northeastern US states, generally from Iowa to Pennsylvania (Lopez, 2004).  These states’ economies were built on manufacturing during the industry’s boom, but with the nationwide shift to service and high-tech industries, they face great challenges in reshaping their economies and retraining their workforces to better handle the realities of the global marketplace (Florida, 1996).  The most production-intensive state in the US is Indiana, where one in six residents (nicknamed “Hoosiers”) hold jobs in manufacturing (Charles & Hicks, 2008).  As a result of the recent economic downturn and other factors, Indiana’s economy has struggled when industry-based jobs have been lost because there is little readily available employment to replace them (Evanoff & Russell, 2008).

ABSTRACT-This paper investigates the determinants of capital structure of real estate firms in China. An empirical study on determinants of capital structure of real estate in Chinese listed firms is conducted using a relatively regression of accounting data for 44 A-share financial listed companies over the quarter from 2008 to the third quarter of 2011. First, this paper identifies that the pecking order theory in China is different from western countries. Second, the results show that profitability, non-debt tax shields and liquidity are significant influence factors in financial sector, while others like size, growth, tangibility and non-circulating share should be judged by the size of the company. Moreover, firm size and non-circulating shares are almost positively related to the corporate leverage ratio. It is also found that Chinese institutional characteristic affects the capital choice decision and the largely state ownerships do affect capital structure choices.

Keywords: China, real estate firms, capital structure, theory, leverage, financing characteristic.

ABSTRACT: Bankruptcy prediction studies lack a strong theoretical framework but were driven by empirical testing and exploration of new econometric models to identify potential bankrupt firms. This paper examines this phenomenon by reviewing existing literatures and proposed a theoretical framework to govern the direction and future development of this area of finance. Liquidity, Profitability and Wealth Theory, Cash Flow Theory, Merton Model, &Gambler’s Ruin Theory were investigated. Liquidity, Profitability and Wealth theory was discovered to be most popular.
Keywords: Bankruptcy prediction, theoretical framework, Merton Model, Gambler’s Ruin
