The first paper by Mfon Akpan, Guneet Dhillon, and Kim Trottier, investigates the relationship between firms’ characteristics (share price) and accounting metrics using cluster analysis. The authors collected 629 accounting metrics for 3,365 firms in the U.S. and estimated their correlation with the firms’ share price.
The second article by Andrey Afanasiev and Olga Kandinskaia documents that monitoring of digital transformation of finance plays a key role in terms of policymaking to prevent future financial crisis. The paper develops a new, forward-looking approach to financial crises research.
Karen M. Hogan and Deborah Vesneski aim to analyse trends to see if women have made any significant gains in board leadership, C-suite, and insider positions in the insurance industry. The authors used 83 insurance companies as of 2021 and compared the gains from those made previously.
Gladys Gamariel reviews the financial liberalisation policies in developing countries (26 countries) from 1986 to 2016 aiming to address the limitations these countries have by constructing a new set of indicators that tracks the magnitude, pace, and timing of reform aspects.
Finally, Richard Fast presents a literature review that covers hyperinflation in Venezuela, from the 1980s to the present. In particular, the author observes the role of cryptocurrency in the country and how the Venezuelan government has been using crypto as a means to avoid further blunders with hyperinflation.
We hope that these research fields appear extremely interesting and provide important indications for scholars, investors, professionals, and regulators.
