The increasing growth of financial system encourages payment system innovation that can affect financial system stability, particularly in ASEAN countries. This study explored a variety of payment system innovation, i.e. debit cards, credit cards, electronic money, and RTGS. The financial system stability index is measured by calculating the composite indexes of non-performing loans, Z-score from ROA and CAR, share price volatility, and yield bonds. The components of the indexes are structured to reflect risks from the banking, stock, and bond markets. The resulting index value indicates the level of risk in the financial system. A higher index specifies a higher risk and a more vulnerable financial system. Furthermore, it is noted that the effects of the independent variable can change according to economic conditions. The panel threshold model was applied to calculate the effects of various regimes, namely innovation, GDP, credit ratio, and stability index. The panel data were obtained from the ASEAN-4 countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Philippines) from 2012 to 2020. The panel threshold analysis shows an increase in the value of debit card, credit card, and RTGS transactions. Specifically, innovation and GDPR negatively affect the stability index. Increasing the value of payment system innovation will decrease the risk to financial system stability in ASEAN countries. The monetary authorities of each country can implement these findings by considering the rapid development of payment system innovation and the danger it may pose to financial system stability.

The concept and practice of CSR have displayed chameleonic features through time and nowadays the level of involvement, planification, organization and evaluation of CSR incentives differ from region to region and between companies. There is still need to shed light and construct a unitary view on the subject both in theory and practice. Companies' role in society has expanded with the shifts of power in the globalization process and their social impact can be seen more than ever. Business entities now need to explain how their actions affect the economy, the environment, and society overall due to the release of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Reports and as well as the increase in academic interest in the topic, fact that puts them in the spotlight both regionally and internationally. Although the notion of CSR is still relatively new in Romania and was only introduced at the beginning of the 1990s, it has been a prominent topic in literature and practice during the past few decades. Nevertheless, Romanian CSR practice is not well supported by empirical evidence. Companies can have a significant impact on the progress of a developing country. Therefore, through this research we aim at determining the state-of-art of CSR incentives in Romanian companies, the level of involvement, organization, budgeting, strategies and evaluation in connection with firm size and capital ownership. This empirical study consists of research that is part of a broader quantitative analysis of CSR focusing on the Romanian context. In this study we provide insights regarding the involvement and organization of CSR incentives of companies with the purpose of testing the existence of a relationship in connection with firm size taking into consideration the number of employees, capital ownership and firm age.

The spread of the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted all firms and organizations around the world, and this issue has not escaped the attention of arts, particularly performing arts organizations. Last few decades, performing arts audiences were shrinking due to economic, social, and technological changes, moreover, Covid-19 has been influenced strongly over the last two years. Therefore, it is crucial to understand and provide an extensive view of the market situation, the role of marketing, and the consequences of Covid-19 in the arts specifically in the field of performing arts. This paper aims to explore the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on performing arts organizations, more focusing on marketing circumstances during the pandemic period, and identifying research gaps. This paper systematically reviews a total of 88 publications from Scopus and Web of Science databases and analyzed them using a descriptive analysis method and VOSviewer. The findings of this study highlight five main themes from the data analysis to demonstrate the substantial and influential results including the number of publications by year, country, and journals in order to understand the market situation. Moreover, the study disclosed keyword co-occurrences and found a new challenging and influential impact of digital transformation on performing arts due to the Covid-19 crisis. Finally, the paper provides a conclusion and a future research agenda.

This paper provides a way to discover strong individual influences on investments in retirement accounts. Data are from SHARE-ERIC (Wave7). Principal residences in ex-communist countries or not and full-time education before 1989 served as filters. Two particular models with good classification accuracy resulted based on data mining, variable selection methods, and logistic regressions. A statistical script generated tables with comparable coefficients (average marginal effects). Common influences from the same financial category as the outcome emerged (having life insurance or ever investing in mutual funds or stocks). The younger respondents, those with computer skills or exposed to high stress, are more likely to invest in retirement accounts regardless of the presence of the communist heritage. Specific influences (personality traits and life experiences) also resulted despite the increasing globalization, which, in the case of people over a certain age, was not able to erase some behavioral differences reflected until today.
