| Nexus Between Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Financial Performance: The Mediating Effect of Intangible Assets | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | This study aims to examine intangible assets as mechanisms underlying the direct corporate social responsibility (CSR)-corporate financial performance (CFP) relationship. Based on signalling theory, we developed an integrated model taking the corporate image (CIM) and corporate identity (CID) as double mediators between the relation ship of CSR and CFP. Using the convenience sampling procedure, we dispersed an anonymous survey to employees and customers in 33 multi-national companies working in Pakistan. The structural equation-al modelling using Smart PLS 3.0 on 456 valid responses revealed the best fit for the study measurement and structural models. Further, the mediation analyses of intangible assets in the simple form identified both CIM and CID have partial indirect effects on the CS ...Read More - Download PDF | |||

| Estimating the Supply Response of Cured Tobacco at Barn Level in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Abstract: | Various aspects of tobacco have been examined through different studies. However, input demand and supply response of tobacco at the barn level remains unknown. This study examines profitability, input demand, and supply response of tobacco in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by employing a normalized restricted trans log profit function. The findings indicate that tobacco production is profitable, and barn owners in the province are responsive to changes in output and input market prices. The use of labor and fuel wood in the processing of green leaves is very important in resource allocation decisions. The demand for labor and fuel wood increases as the price of tobacco output rises at the barn level. Furthermore, higher input prices have anegative effect on the province's tobacco supply.
