The net income per unit area from crop production could be the most critical consideration for agricultural producers during cultivation planning. This paper proposes a scheme for predicting the net income per unit area based on machine learning and related calculations. This scheme predicts rice production and operation costs by applying climate and price index data. The rice price is also predicted by applying rice production and operation cost data. Finally, these predicted results are employed to calculate the predicted net income, which is compared with the actual net income. Consequently, the proposed scheme shows a meaningful degree of conformity, which indicates the potential of machine learning for predicting various aspects of agricultural production.

This study investigates whether other comprehensive income (OCI) reported in the statement of comprehensive income (one of the main financial statements after the adoption of K-IFRS) predicts a firm's future performance. Using the quarterly data of Korean listed companies, we examine the association between OCI estimates and future earnings. First of all, we find that OCI is positively associated with earnings in both 1- and 2-quarter ahead, supporting the predictive value of OCI. When we break down OCI into its individual components, our results suggest that the net unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale (AFS) investment securities are positively associated with future earnings, while the other components (e.g., net unrealized gains/losses on valuation of cash flow hedge derivatives) present insignificant results. In addition, we investigate whether the reliability in OCI estimates enhances the predictive value of OCI to predict future performance. We find that the predictive ability of OCI, in particular the net unrealized gains/losses on available-for-sale (AFS) investment securities, becomes more pronounced when firms are audited by the Big 4 audit firms. Overall, our study suggests that information content embedded in OCI can provide decision-useful information that is helpful for the prediction of future firm performance.

의료기관들의 부채관리 문제는 도산 등 경영위험의 직접적인 요인으로 파악되고 있는데, 현금흐름은 소요자금이나 도산예측에 유용한 정보를 제공해 준다. 본 연구는 24개 종합병원과 23개 병원을 대상으로, 영업활동 현금흐름이 부채상환능력에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 회귀분석을 실시하였으며, 부채 위험성에 대비하기 위한 현금흐름 관리방안 모색을 위하여 다변량 판별분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 종합병원들은 당기순이익 매입채무의 증대 의료미수금과 재고자산의 감소 방법으로 부채상환능력 수준이 이루어지고 있었는데, 부채상환능력이 없는 경우에는 당기순이익 향상, 현금유출 없는 비용 증대, 의료미수금 감소, 매입채무 증대 등을 검토할 필요성이 제기되었다. 병원들은 당기순이익 현금유출 없는 비용과 매입채무의 증대 현금유입 없는 수익과 의료미수금 및 재고자산의 감소 방법으로 부채상환 능력 수준이 이루어지고 있었는데, 부채상환능력이 없는 경우에는 매입채무의 증대를 검토할 필요성이 제기되었다.

The study aims to empirically examine the determinants of bank margins from Pakistan, an emerging South Asian economy. To elucidate the importance of the Pakistani banking sector, secondary data has been used, which was extracted from the annual accounts of twenty-four Pakistani scheduled commercial banks (20 conventional, four full-fledged Islamic) over a sample period of 2006 to 2017. The factors identified in the dealership model and the subsequent empirical developments in the dealership model categorized as bank-specific, diversification, regulatory, and industry concentration are analyzed by applying the most-common linear dynamic panel-data estimator, the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator, developed by Arellano and Bond (1991). The findings reveal that, among the bank-specific variables, funding cost, credit risk, managerial efficiency, market share, and operating cost are significant predictors of bank margins. For diversification variables employed in the study, both variables including net non-interest income and asset diversity are as well significant predictors of bank margins. It is also found that the market concentration variable proxied by the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) is significantly predicting bank margins. Subsequently, one of the regulatory variables, the opportunity cost of holding reserves, and one bank-specific variable, the degree of risk aversion, are insignificant in the model.
