Macroeconomic and firm-specific determinants of financial performance: Evidence from non-life insurance companies in Africa by Thabiso Sthembiso Msomi

“…Panel data of 1452 observations were examined using both ordinary least squares and two-step System Generalised Method of Moments estimators. The findings of this study show that lagged return on assets, equity capital, operational efficiency and leverage, investment capability and gross domestic product are the statistically significant determinants of financial performance in African non-life insurance companies even though equity capital, operational efficiency and leverage are inversely significant. …”

THE SEASONALITY AND ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY OF SHEEP MILK PRODUCTION - A CASE STUDY IN KARAKUL BREED, ROMANIA by Iuliu-Gabriel MALOS, Gabriela MALOS

“…These research endeavors are original and pursued two objectives: firstly, the analysis of production performance as aforementioned, and secondly, the improvement of this breed aiming to increase milk production, although the breed is known for its specialization in skin production, the marketing of which has become problematic both in Romania and in traditionally sheep-rearing countries. The method used to determine milk production was the "Bi-monthly coefficient control method, which allows for the determination of milk production both during the suckling period for ewes with lambs and after weaning the lambs". …”
