Objective: The research aims to analyze the impact of all subsystems on farmer profits in the beef cattle agribusiness system in Minahasa Regency, Province of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. Theoretical Framework: Agribusinesses may engage in a various activities related to the production (agroproduction), processing (agro-processing/agro-industry), marketing (agro-marketing), and distribution (agrodistribution) of food and fiber products. Agribusiness as a system, including livestock business, cannot be separated from various interrelated components or subsystems starting from upstream components (input sources) to downstream (post-harvest and marketing), as well as supporting institutional components (policies, funding, extension, etc.). Method: The research used a survey method, with a purposive sampling method. The research was carried out by collecting sample data through interviews and observations based on questionnaires. The data analysis model uses multiple regression analysis, the impact of each subsystem in the agribusiness system on beef cattle farming profit. Results and Discussion: The research showed that only the downstream subsystem, especially cattle marketing component, has a very significant impact on the beef cattle farming profit. Meanwhile, the upstream subsystem, on-farm subsystem, downstream subsystem and supporting subsystem each has non-significant impact on the beef cattle farming profit. The research results concluded that partially only the downstream beef cattle farming subsystem had a very significant influence on the profit of the beef cattle farming, due to the effectiveness of the blantik system of beef cattle market as local wisdom in Kawangkoan which is the beef cattle production center of Minahasa Regency. Research Implications: It is recommended for stakeholders and supporting intitutions of beef cattle agribusiness in Minahasa Regency to trans-orient from the traditional agribusiness system (cattle labor orientation) to an agribusiness system oriented, towards cattle as a source of meat to meet domestic demand which is still met by imports relatively high. Originality/Value: The marketing and processing sector (downstream subsystem), serious attention needs to be paid because it greatly affects the profits of cattle farming and farmers' income. Because this is the main incentive for farmers to increase the population and production of beef cattle to meet the increasing needs of consumers. Objetivo: A pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o impacto de todos os subsistemas nos lucros dos produtores rurais no sistema de agronegócio de gado de corte na Regência de Minahasa, Província de Sulawesi do Norte, Indonésia. Referencial Teórico: Os agronegócios podem se envolver em várias atividades relacionadas à produção (agroprodução), processamento (agroprocessamento/agroindústria), marketing (agromarketing) e distribuição (agrodistribuição) de alimentos e produtos de fibra. O agronegócio como um sistema, incluindo negócios pecuários, não pode ser separado de vários componentes ou subsistemas inter-relacionados, começando dos componentes upstream (fontes de entrada) para downstream (pós-colheita e marketing), bem como componentes institucionais de suporte (políticas, financiamento, extensão, etc.). Método: A pesquisa utilizou um método de levantamento, com um método de amostragem proposital. A pesquisa foi realizada coletando dados amostrais por meio de entrevistas e observações baseadas em questionários. O modelo de análise de dados utiliza análise de regressão múltipla, o impacto de cada subsistema no sistema de agronegócio no lucro da pecuária de corte. Resultados e Discussão: A pesquisa mostrou que apenas o subsistema a jusante, especialmente o componente de comercialização de gado, tem um impacto muito significativo no lucro da criação de gado de corte. Enquanto isso, o subsistema a montante, o subsistema na fazenda, o subsistema a jusante e o subsistema de suporte têm impacto não significativo no lucro da criação de gado de corte. Os resultados da pesquisa concluíram que parcialmente apenas o subsistema de criação de gado de corte a jusante teve uma influência muito significativa no lucro da criação de gado de corte, devido à eficácia do sistema blantik do mercado de gado de corte como sabedoria local em Kawangkoan, que é o centro de produção de gado de corte da Regência de Minahasa. Implicações da Pesquisa: É recomendado que as partes interessadas e instituições de apoio ao agronegócio de gado de corte na Regência de Minahasa façam uma transição do sistema tradicional de agronegócio (orientação para o trabalho do gado) para um sistema de agronegócio orientado, tendo o gado como fonte de carne para atender à demanda interna, que ainda é atendida por importações relativamente altas. Originalidade/Valor: O setor de marketing e processamento (subsistema downstream), atenção séria precisa ser dada porque afeta muito os lucros da pecuária e a renda dos fazendeiros. Porque este é o principal incentivo para os fazendeiros aumentarem a população e a produção de gado de corte para atender às crescentes necessidades dos consumidores. Objetivo: La investigación tiene como objetivo analizar el impacto de todos los subsistemas en las ganancias de los agricultores en el sistema agroindustrial de ganado vacuno de carne en la regencia de Minahasa, provincia de Sulawesi del Norte, Indonesia. Marco Teórico: Las agroindustrias pueden participar en diversas actividades relacionadas con la producción (agroproducción), el procesamiento (agroprocesamiento/agroindustria), la comercialización (agrocomercialización) y la distribución (agrodistribución) de productos alimenticios y de fibra. Las agroindustrias como sistema, incluidas las empresas ganaderas, no pueden separarse de varios componentes o subsistemas interrelacionados que van desde los componentes iniciales (fuentes de insumos) hasta los finales (poscosecha y comercialización), así como de los componentes institucionales de apoyo (políticas, financiación, extensión, etc.). Método: La investigación utilizó un método de encuesta, con un método de muestreo intencional. La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante la recolección de datos de muestra a través de entrevistas y observaciones basadas en cuestionarios. El modelo de análisis de datos utiliza el análisis de regresión múltiple, el impacto de cada subsistema en el sistema agroindustrial en la rentabilidad de la ganadería de carne. Resultados y discusión: La investigación mostró que solo el subsistema descendente, especialmente el componente de comercialización de ganado, tiene un impacto muy significativo en las ganancias de la cría de ganado vacuno. Mientras tanto, el subsistema ascendente, el subsistema en la finca, el subsistema descendente y el subsistema de apoyo tienen cada uno un impacto no significativo en las ganancias de la cría de ganado vacuno. Los resultados de la investigación concluyeron que, en parte, solo el subsistema descendente de cría de ganado vacuno tuvo una influencia muy significativa en las ganancias de la cría de ganado vacuno, debido a la eficacia del sistema blantik del mercado de ganado vacuno como sabiduría local en Kawangkoan, que es el centro de producción de ganado vacuno de la regencia de Minahasa. Implicaciones de la Investigación: Se recomienda a las partes interesadas y a las instituciones de apoyo de la agroindustria de ganado vacuno en la regencia de Minahasa que se transorienten del sistema de agronegocios tradicional (orientación a la mano de obra ganadera) a un sistema de agronegocios orientado hacia el ganado como fuente de carne para satisfacer la demanda interna que todavía se satisface con importaciones relativamente altas. Originalidad/Valor: El sector de comercialización y procesamiento (subsistema de distribución) debe ser objeto de una atención especial, ya que afecta en gran medida las ganancias de la ganadería y los ingresos de los agricultores, ya que es el principal incentivo para que los agricultores aumenten la población y la producción de ganado vacuno para satisfacer las crecientes necesidades de los consumidores.

The objective of this article was to: Analyze the relationship between liquidity and profitability of agricultural companies in the regions of Ecuador in 2023. A correlational research is developed. The documentary technique is used to collect information to state the differences in profitability in the regions of the country, it includes the use of instruments defined according to the documentary source. Software tools and Excel are used for data tabulation and analysis, facilitating the interpretation of the results and the financial analysis for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the liquidity and profitability variables of the agricultural sector and it is concluded that: There is a generalized financial risk in all regions, evidenced by low liquidity and the high proportion of companies with zero liquidity. Oriente and Galápagos show a total deficiency in the generation of profits conditioned by the lack of liquidity, which indicates poor management of costs and expenses. The results obtained demonstrate that the lack of liquidity negatively affects the profitability of agricultural companies and it is recommended to investigate the causes of low liquidity and the high proportion of companies with zero liquidity, implement strategies to improve the liquidity of companies, such as efficient management of working capital and the search for short-term financing, ensure that profitability remains at healthy levels and that it translates into an improvement in liquidity and improve the quality and availability of financial information to facilitate decision-making.

En el presente se hacen cuestionamientos en torno a la sostenibilidad de las actividades humanas incluida la ganadería. En consecuencia, se propone para superar los niveles de sostenibilidad de las actividades ganaderas evaluar su desempeño técnico, económico, social y ambiental. El objetivo de la investigación fue evaluar el nivel de sostenibilidad de un sistema de producción bovino, en la región caribe de Colombia. La evaluación de la sostenibilidad del estudio consideró la implementación del método “Evaluación de la sostenibilidad de los sistemas alimentarios y agrícolas” conocido como SAFA, por sus siglas en inglés. La recopilación de información incluyó visitas de campo y entrevistas a informantes clave; asimismo, se empleó el software SAFA Tool versión 2.2.40. Los resultados obtenidos en este trabajo sugieren que la mejora en la organización y comunicación de empresas ganaderas favorece al buen desempeño de los indicadores de sostenibilidad. De igual manera, se observaron resultados sobresalientes en aspectos de sostenibilidad ambiental asociados a principios de conservación de la agrobiodiversidad. No obstante, existen limitaciones para la evaluación de la sostenibilidad en sistemas ganaderos por dificultades en la gestión de la información. Por otra parte, se destaca que, a partir de los resultados de este estudio, se contribuye con evidencias en torno a las ventajas de los sistemas silvopastoriles basados en recursos locales. Finalmente, se sugiere fomentar modelos de producción sostenible en Colombia y otras regiones de América Latina.

El Balanced ScoreCard (BSC) o Cuadro de Mando Integral (CMI), es una herramienta gerencial que permite el control de la gestión en las áreas consideradas como críticas; para incrementar la rentabilidad y optimización de la misma. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el impacto del BSC en la gestión estratégica de la empresa Procesos Textiles EI.RL/PROTEK, en Perú. Se aplicó un diseño no experimental con pre test y pos test, que permitió medir la gestión administrativa antes y después de aplicar el BSC, para lo cual se diagnosticaron los factores externos e internos a través de un análisis FODA. Como resultado más relevante se elevaron los niveles de productividad, de satisfacción personal del talento humano y el número de clientes activos. Se concluye que el BSC es una herramienta de carácter estratégico, que hace más efectiva la comunicación logrando un aumento en la productividad y un incremento en las finanzas.

Objective. To evaluate the economic viability of a continuous supplementary feeding scheme (CSFS) in local goats from the end of gestation and during lactation in a region of Coahuila State, in northern Mexico. Materials and methods. Twenty-four local goats were utilized: control group (CG, n=12) and supplemented group (SG; n=12). In both groups daily milk production (DMP), per lactation (TMPL), and per lactation stage [early (MPEL) middle (MPML), and late lactation (MPLL)], duration of lactation (DL, days), final live weight (FLW), and final body condition (FBC) were recorded; and in kids birth weight (BW), weight at sale (WS), age at sale (AS), and mortality rate (MR). An economic analysis was performed according to the methodology of the American Agricultural Economics Association. Costs of daily supplementation, labor for the handling and care of the animals, and prices from sale of milk and kids were considered, as well as the Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Results. The best productive performance and highest incomes were for SG (p<0.05) for all variables, except AS and MR. The highest values in CG (p<0.05) were for AS and economic profit for all variables, except in MPEL and IRR for TMPL. There were positive profits for SG in MPEL and MPML, and negative in MPLL for SG, but with higher FBC. Conclusions. The CSFS is economically viable to increase income and profits from kids and milk sales and, in addition, improves the FBC of the dams. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aquaculture is an activity aimed at producing and fattening organisms under controlled conditions of species developed in the aquatic environment, with biofloc technology being a viable alternative, taking advantage of organic and inorganic waste through heterotrophic microorganisms present in the water and making better use of water resources. The objective of this study was to evaluate the production of red tilapia (Oreochromis sp) reared in a biofloc technology (TBF) system, using a descriptive non-experimental design employing a total of 5000 fingerlings with an average initial size of 1.5 cm and weight of 0.6 g, constantly monitoring physicochemical parameters (pH, ammonium, nitrite, nitrate, sedimentation, dissolved oxygen, and temperature). Aspects such as weight gain (WG), Total feed intake (TF), Daily intake (DA), Feed conversion factor (FCR) were measured. The results showed that the physicochemical parameters of the water in this system are within the recommended ranges for tilapia culture. It was observed that in some weeks during the growth of the fish there was a low feed conversion ratio with values of 0.33, 0.35, 0.53, 0.67, 0.79, 0.91, 0.99, thus influencing the reduction of production costs, taking into account that the closer the FCA is to zero the greater the efficiency of feed use, so in this case the implementation of the system was not optimal (by volume of production) because there was not a low index throughout the growing season, generating profitability problems.

Ecuador is engaged in the semi-processed and processed natural food sector, therefore, daily its translates into a large number of commercial transactions. Large companies in this sector are obliged to keep accounts under the accounting rules and guidelines of the Superintendence of Companies, which compromise the presentation of figures or accounting data that reflect a poor financial situation. In this sense, creative accounting emerges as an alternative to this situation. It is a methodology that meets the standards of the legal accounting framework taking advantage of certain information gaps to transform figures into positive and encouraging results for interest groups of Ecuadorian food companies. In this context, the present investigation applied the MScore-Beneish Model to determine whether there is the application of creative accounting in 24 large companies in the food sector in Ecuador to affect their profitability, under a descriptive study and quantitative approach. Research findings show that 58.33% of companies manipulate accounting information especially with the alteration of the SGI ratio with the presentation of inflated sales by including the value of accounts and receivables from year to year. In conclusion, creative accounting did not have a significant impact on the generation of profitability despite manipulating figures, since the results do not present significant differences between manipulative and non-manipulative companies of accounting information.

Precision agriculture is the use and application of new technologies in big and small surface units, taking into account the diversity of the soil, the environmental environment and the needs of the plants in order to manage and optimize the application of inputs (seeds, fertilizers, phytosanitary products, irrigation...) to obtain profitable, quality and environmentally friendly production. About 20 years ago or so, applications of the GPS system (Global Positioning System) were achieved in agriculture to obtain the position using coordinates and the production obtained at each of those points. With the preparation of this data, the first yield maps were represented, and the use of these new systems began to be called "Precision Agriculture." In recent years, with technological advances in computing and new communication networks, very important advances have been obtained, being able to control positioning with errors of less than 1 meter, through DGPS and GIS (Geographic Information Systems). This technology in Cuba is in a completely experimental phase, but it is a fact that performance maps are being obtained and this information can be used by equipment that can be mounted on tractors.

We present the research results that analyze the changes that have taken place in the prices and profitability of advertising spaces in national free-to-air television and the possible scenarios that the medium may face to survive in the audiovisual environment in Spain. To this end, two correlative studies with different methodologies were carried out to analyze the prices and profitability of television spots and, on the other hand, to know professionals' opinions about the medium's future. The results show an ever-increasing price of TV spots and a drop in profitability, especially in terms of impact on adults over 16 years of age. Also, the professionals argue that television must adapt to the digital environment in the long term but that, in the short term, they can still hold their own with advertising revenues as they continue to maintain coverage and notoriety as competitive advantages over other media. The aim is to highlight the effectiveness of television as an advertising medium today despite its loss of efficiency [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The production of berries, one of which is the blueberry, is a topic that has become relevant over time, due to the increase in the popularity of this strawberry. Every day, its use extends to more markets; The fact that their production requires specific geographical conditions and care restricts their supply on the international market. It is noteworthy that Michoacán has the appropriate characteristics for planting and harvesting. Therefore, the objective of this work is to determine the profitability and comparative advantage of Mexican blueberry production in Michoacán for the year 2023 through the Policy Analysis Matrix (MAP). A limitation of the work is the selected period of time, which in this case corresponds to the year 2023. Among the main conclusions, it stands out that with a value of 0.73 and another of 0.41, it can be deduced that blueberry production is a competitive activity and with an advantage for Michoacan producers.

A raíz de la pandemia, una de las actividades económicas más afectadas fue la gastronomía, debido a las restricciones para mitigar los contagios. La presente investigación tiene como objetivo determinar los factores que influyen en la rentabilidad de las Pequeñas y Medianas Empresas chilenas del sector gastronómico, desde la perspectiva contingente y de recursos y capacidades. Para ello se realizó una investigación cuantitativa con una muestra de 59 empresas. Los resultados del análisis de regresión logística indican que, cuando las empresas despiden tres o menos trabajadores, la probabilidad de que su rendimiento aumente o se mantenga igual se incrementa en un 422%. Por otro lado, por cada decisión adicional que toma la empresa, la probabilidad de que su rendimiento se mantenga igual o aumente disminuye en un 51%. La tecnología y el tamaño no fueron relevantes para este tipo de empresas.

El aumento de los costos sanitarios y financieros de las enfermedades, las discapacidades y las disparidades respalda la aceleración mundial de los intereses y las inversiones en IA (inteligencia artificial) sanitaria para lograr soluciones sanitarias mejores, más baratas, más rápidas y justas a escala mundial y local. Sin embargo, no existe un consenso sobre la aplicación práctica de los principios de la IA responsable en diversos sectores, estados y sistemas de creencias de todo el mundo. Este estudio de prueba de concepto utiliza el marco ético pluralista global (el Contrato Social Personalista) para proporcionar, por tanto, el primer análisis conocido de ética computacional (AiCE, por sus siglas en inglés) y política basado en IA aumentada bayesiana que integra análisis clínicos, de rentabilidad y de disparidades en la atención sanitaria con datos representativos a nivel nacional para estimar el costo global de las disparidades en la atención sanitaria en la colonoscopia (CS, por sus siglas en inglés) y el ahorro de la CS habilitada por IA para reducirlas. El estudio sugiere que revertir las disparidades raciales, en particular entre hispanos y asiáticos, puede ahorrar a los sistemas sanitarios estadounidenses 17.610 millones de dólares al año, con un ahorro potencial de 625,40 millones de dólares para los hispanos y 289 millones de dólares para los asiáticos en particular (con un ahorro similar para las comunidades vulnerables en países de ingresos medios y bajos). Los resultados anteriores respaldan el imperativo de ahorro de costos que supone la inversión estratégica y de capacitación en estas medidas impulsadas por la IA para mejorar los objetivos estratégicos de sostenibilidad, eficacia, eficiencia y equidad (SEEE) de la atención sanitaria. Estos resultados empíricos informan el argumento bioético global más amplio de las dimensiones gemelas de la dignidad y la seguridad humanas (arraigadas en el relato personalista, multicultural y metafísico de la persona como miembro de la familia humana global) para destacar el imperativo ético de la IA para optimizar el rendimiento del ecosistema sanitario digital global. Semejante fin instrumental es un medio decisivo para avanzar hacia el fin último del bien común, en el que se salvaguarda el bien individual de cada persona y en el que éste encuentra su realización trabajando hacia él.

En la actualidad, la liquidez y la rentabilidad constituyen un pilar fundamental para mejorar la eficiencia de las empresas. Al respecto, el objetivo de esta investigación es establecer los determinantes que influyen en la liquidez y rentabilidad de las Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito del Ecuador que pertenecen a los segmentos 1 y 2. La metodología a utilizar en el proceso de investigación se basa en el análisis de componentes principales y en una especificación estimada por el método del Modelo Autorregresivo de Rezagos Distribuidos Simple, utilizando los estados financieros de estas cooperativas del segmento 1 y 2, extraídos de la Superintendencia de Economía Popular y Solidaria desde 2015 hasta 2020, con un total de 408 observaciones. Los resultados demuestran que existen dos determinantes: el riesgo de crédito y el apalancamiento, los cuales son factores importantes que influyen directamente en la liquidez. Mientras, por el lado de la rentabilidad se muestra que existe la relación con las variables de capital físico, la tasa de financiamiento, el apalancamiento y el riesgo de crédito. Se concluye argumentando que los factores liquidez y rentabilidad son aspectos neurálgicos para el crecimiento de las cooperativas y para contribuir en la generación de una homeóstasis financiera.

El espárrago genera divisas extranjeras al Perú, pero depende demasiado del mercado de Estados Unidos, por ello, se evalúan nuevos destinos. Se prueba que existen destinos alternativos rentables para el espárrago peruano analizando variables macroeconómicas, la rentabilidad con el beneficio bruto y riesgo de la exportación, en entornos de riesgo, aplicando el software @Risk, y la incidencia del precio FOB (Free on Board, Libre a bordo) y costos de exportación en la rentabilidad de la exportación de espárragos. Se encontró que los mejores destinos para exportar espárragos peruanos, según la rentabilidad ponderada por el riesgo, son: Suiza, Noruega, Suecia, Italia y Corea del Sur. Se recomienda realizar este análisis para otros productos y mercados.

El objetivo de investigación fue determinar la relación de las variables liquidez y rentabilidad de las empresas que cotizan en la bolsa de valores de Lima durante los años 2020 y 2021, para demostrar la prevalencia de los problemas de dichas variables en los diversos sectores como efecto de la pandemia del covid 19. La investigación se llevó a cabo con el proceso deductivo, con un diseño no experimental transversal retrospectivo, aplicado una ficha de análisis documental para la recolección de los datos requeridos a partir de los estados financieros auditados de las empresas en estudio. Los resultados revelaron que un alto porcentaje (más del 30%) de las empresas estudiadas o tuvieron liquidez menor a 1 o mayor 2 y rentabilidad negativa. Se demostró que el problema de liquidez se relaciona directa y significativamente con el problema de rentabilidad en los ratios evaluados.

Existen dos indicadores financieros que son pilares fundamentales para la sostenibilidad y el cumplimiento de los objetivos de las Cajas Municipales de Ahorro y Crédito del Perú: La liquidez y la rentabilidad. En este sentido, esta investigación buscó determinar de qué manera la liquidez influye en la rentabilidad de estas instituciones, durante los periodos comprendidos entre 2020 al 2022. Se elaboró una investigación bajo un procedimiento de carácter cuantitativo, no experimental longitudinal y de alcance correlacional-causal, la cual contó con una población y muestra censal comprendida por 11 Cajas Municipales de Ahorro y Crédito autorizadas, reguladas y supervisadas por la Superintendencia de Banca, Seguros y Administradoras Privadas de Fondos de Pensiones. Asimismo, la información fue agrupada y registrada por medio del análisis documental, diseñando como instrumento a una ficha de datos. Con un valor de -0,627 y una significancia inferior al 5 %, se contrastó que la liquidez influyó de forma negativa y significativa en la rentabilidad de las Cajas Municipales de Ahorro y Crédito, durante los años 2020 al 2022. Finalmente, se infiere que los comportamientos de liquidez y rentabilidad de estas instituciones evidenciaron que una mayor liquidez no siempre va a determinar que se alcance una mayor rentabilidad.

The main purpose of this research was to assess how the profitability and liquidity of the company "Central de Cooperativas Mineras Rinconada y Lunar de Oro Limitada" were impacted by COVID-19 between the periods 2018 and 2022. This study is classified as basic and explanatory in nature, and it is non-experimental. For data collection, the documentation technique and observation were used, and the company's Balance Sheet and Income Statement were analyzed. The results indicate that, based on the analysis of profitability through Return on Assets (ROA), in 2019, it showed a negative value (-0.21). In contrast, in 2020, it recorded a value of 78.02. On the other hand, the analysis of Return on Equity (ROE) revealed a value of -0.14 in 2019, while in 2020, a significant value was recorded in the ratios (65.01). Regarding the liquidity of the mining company, the Current Ratio in 2019 was 15.46, and in 2020, it was 0.78. Furthermore, the Quick Ratio values were 15.46 in 2019 and 0.78 in 2020. Conclusions: the mining company experienced a significant decline in liquidity; however, it managed to maintain strong economic and financial profitability. Although a company may be profitable, the lack of liquidity represents a significant risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Portuguese and Spanish banking system, in the framework of the economic and financial crisis suffered a significant reduction in the profitability of its banking business. Taking into consideration the problem of profitability in the banking sector at a global level, some studies have been increasingly highlighted both in academia and in the financial market. Thus, this paper aims to analyze the determinants of banking profitability of banks operating in two different financial systems, Portugal and Spain, for the periods from 2014 to 2019. To obtain the results, we used a panel data analysis model that combines cross-section (banks) and time-series (years) data, obtaining a strongly balanced panel. Multiple linear regression models were then used and it was possible to identify credit risk, solvency and operational efficiency as the main factors explaining bank profitability. Finally, the results show that the high credit risk and operational efficiency indicators of these banks have a negative significant influence on their profitability. In turn, more robust solvency indicators have a positive significant dominant on bank´s performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Previous literature on business performance in the insurance market tends to focus only on efficiency or profitability. However, the relationship between both has yet to be addressed in the Spanish insurance market. This paper examines the relationship between efficiency scores obtained through a two-stage DEA and the values of the classical financial ratios (ROE, ROA, Technical Ratio, Combined Ratio and Loss Ratio). We use a sample of 111 firms from the non-life Spanish insurance market from 2008- 2017. We find a positive relationship between efficiency and profitability, which shows decreasing returns, with the positive effect of efficiency on profit ratios being lower for the most efficient companies.

The focus of this work was on modeling the financial performance of Chilean construction companies using linear fixed and mixed effects regressions, using quarterly gross margin as an indicator of profitability. Among the models evaluated, it was determined that the mixed effects model with random effects per company showed the best fit to the data set, with an estimated coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.92, with variables such as TC, TC being significant. quadratic and the short-term debt rate. The combination of quadratic and non-quadratic CT effects indicated that the positive impact of CT on margin is evident from a rate of 42% on total assets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This document provides a summary of multiple articles and research studies on the topics of green accounting, leverage, firm size, profitability, and firm value. The studies analyze the relationships between these variables and their impact on environmental performance, sustainable performance, corporate social responsibility, and financial performance. The findings suggest that profitability has a strong and positive impact on firm value, while the impact of green accounting practices on firm value is insignificant. Leverage has a significant relationship with firm value, but the effect is mitigated by profitability. The studies recommend strategic use of debt financing and conservative debt strategies for managers. [Extracted from the article]
