  • Capital Intensity in south african manufacturing and unemployment 1972 1990
    World Development, 1995
    Co-Authors: Raphael Kaplinsky
    Abstract:

    This paper explores the changing structure of investment and employment in South Africa's manufacturing sector during 1972–1990. It considers the hypotheses that poor employment performance and high levels of Capital Intensity have arisen as a consequence of the overexpansion of Capital-intensive sectors and distorted factor prices. In the main, these hypotheses are rejected. Instead it is argued that poor employment performance arises largely from political factors which have dulled the private sector's investment in labor-intensive sectors, have stifled the development of the informal sector, have held back productivity growth in manufacturing, and have reduce the inflow of foreign direct investment. Although the paper is not primarily focused on the emerging policy agenda in the postapartheid era, the data contained in this analysis would not appear to support the beliefs either that wages should be reduced or that the state should refrain from actively affecting allocative decisions.

  • the impact of the civil war on Capital Intensity and labor productivity in southern manufacturing
    Explorations in Economic History, 2006
    Co-Authors: William K Hutchinson, Robert A Margo
    Abstract:

    Abstract After the Civil War wages fell in the South relative to the non-South, but interest rates and other measures of the costs of Capital increased. Using archival data for manufacturing establishments, we show that Capital–output and Capital–labor ratios in southern manufacturing declined relative to non-southern manufacturing after the War, precisely in the direction implied by the regional shifts in factor prices. Labor productivity in southern manufacturing also declined, and a significant portion of this decline can be attributed to the reduction in Capital Intensity.

  • the impact of the civil war on Capital Intensity and labor productivity in southern manufacturing
    National Bureau of Economic Research, 2004
    Co-Authors: William K Hutchinson, Robert A Margo
    Abstract:

    The Civil War resulted in a substantial divergence in the regional structure of factor prices. In particular, wages fell in the South relative to the non-South, but interest rates and other measures of the costs of Capital increased. Using archival data for manufacturing establishments, we show that Capital-output and Capital-labor ratios in southern manufacturing declined relative to non-southern manufacturing after the War, precisely in the direction implied by the regional shifts in factor prices. Labor productivity in Southern manufacturing also declined, but this decline is explained by the reduction in Capital Intensity.

  • moderating effect of Capital Intensity on the relationship between leverage and financial distress in the u s restaurant industry
    International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2011
    Co-Authors: Kyung Ho Kang
    Abstract:

    Abstract During the recent and ongoing economic turmoil, countless businesses have been facing financial distress and many have filed for bankruptcy. This issue is especially critical for the restaurant industry due to restaurants’ sensitivity to economic fluctuations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the financial distress issue in the U.S. restaurant industry. In particular, the study examines a moderating effect of Capital Intensity on the relationship between a firm's leverage and degree of financial distress. The dataset includes publicly traded U.S. restaurant firms during the period 1990–2008. The study measures the degree of financial distress by modified Z-scores, and findings suggest a positive moderating effect of Capital Intensity on the relationship between leverage and financial distress.

    2015
    Co-Authors: Muadz Rizki Muzakki, Darsono Darsono
    Abstract:

    This study aims to examine the effect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Capital Intensity to tax avoidance. The purpose of this study is to provide empirically evidence about the effect of CSR and Capital Intensity to tax avoidance. The independent variables of this study are CSR and Capital Intensity, the dependent variable is tax avoidance, and control variables are size and profitability. CSR measured by CSR disclosure with GRI G3.1 as the indicator. Capital Intensity measured by total fixed asset divide by total asset. Size measured by logarithm of total asset. Profitability measured by Return on Asset (ROA). Tax avoidance measured by effective tax rates (ETR). The population in this study are 446 manufacturing companies which listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange in the period of 2011-2013. Sample were selected by purposive random sampling method and finally obtained 211 manufacturing companies that fulfill the criteria. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis model. The result show that CSR and Capital Intensity significant negatively influence tax avoidance. Based on the result, conclude that tax avoidance decision is influenced by its attitude about CSR and Capital Intensity.

  • PENGARUH CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY DAN Capital Intensity TERHADAP PENGHINDARAN PAJAK
    Jurnal Akademi Akuntansi, 2018
    Co-Authors: Monifa Yuliana Dwi Sandra, Achmad Syaiful Hidayat Anwar
    Abstract:

    This study aims to investigate the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Capital Intensity on the level of tax avoidance. This research is an associative study, with the population of mining companies listed on the IDX from 2015 to 2017. The samplig technique is Purposive sampling, and obtained a total sample of 48 companies. The data studied is the secondary data, which is then tested by Multiple Linear Regression analysis. The results demonstrate that the two variables have a significance value (p-value) < α 0.05, both in simultaneous and partial tests. CSR has a coefficient of -0.818, meanwhile, Capital Intensity has a coefficient of 0.484. Therefore, it can be concluded that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has a significantly negative effect on the tax avoidance. The higher the level of CSR disclosure, the lower the practice of tax avoidance. In addition, Capital Intensity proved to have a significantly positive effect on the tax avoidance. The higher the company's Capital Intensity, the higher the tax avoidance practice.
