    Gender diversity in municipal governmental bodies and budgetary solvency
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Cabaleiro, Roberto; Buch, Enrique
    Diverse research has analysed the effects of gender in government on public budgetary outcomes using the gender bias approach – gender trait –; however, studies evaluating the gender effects of municipal governments on budgetary solvency using a gender balance approach – gender diversity – are scarce. Our objective was to determine whether gender diversity in Spanish municipal governments affects institutional budgetary solvency, taking into account that the mayor’s gender and the ideology of the government could impede visualizing the effects of diversity because they create heterogeneity. Using both static and dynamic panel data models on a sample of Spanish municipalities with more than 20,000 inhabitants, we found that gender diversity has a positive effect on budgetary solvency when the municipality has a male mayor. However, the effect of gender diversity is negative if the mayor is a woman, which could be explained by the different arguments provided by social identity or social categorization theories.

    Regulation, Supervision and Accounting Conservatism : the interaction of the three pillars of Basel II on the quality of reported earnings in worldwide banks
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Díaz-Sánchez, Inmaculada; Martínez-Conesa, Isabel; Illueca-Muñoz, Manuel
    Accounting conservatism is a quality of earnings positively associated with the strength of banking regulation and supervision and also high market discipline, but there still remains the unresolved question of the way these three pillars of Basel II interact with each other. We analyse how regulatory and supervisory regimes in the banking industry clearly interact with market discipline measures, such as listing status, ownership, market concentration and disclosure requirements between ten years before Basel II fails, drawing upon data from 14,651 bank year observations from 54 different countries. According to our findings, there is a clear correlation between the strength of the enforcement of regulation and supervision and accounting conservatism success in countries where market discipline fails. That is to say, the supervisory power reinforces the effect of listing status, ownership and concentration on conservatism whereas the capital regulatory system mitigates the effect of market discipline on conservatism. We also evidence that in a powerful regulatory system, more disclosure requirements are associated in less conservatism policies in financial entities. Strong increases in regulation, its enforcement and supervisory power introduced in the Basel III mechanism is subject to the debate posed in this paper. The quality of accounting earnings can be improved to prevent bank failures through the application of strong Pillars I and II, i.e., regulation and supervision. Having said that, market discipline still remains a key factor in achieving financial stability.

    The role of agents in accounting reform in the face of the institutional change : the case of the Colegio Universidad de Osuna (1775-1824)
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) López-Manjón, Jesús D.; Gutiérrez-Hidalgo, Fernando
    This study aims at enriching literature on accounting change by studying the role of the agents in the accounting reform of the Colegio Universidad de Osuna (CUO, College and University of Osuna) in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. The paper explores how, in the period 1775-1777, the CUO modified its rules, including its accounting procedures, to prevent its disappearance. Those modifications were aimed at aligning the CUO with the new Enlightenment institutional framework regarding academic requirements and economic rationality. The visitor who prepared the new rules, Miguel Benito Ortega, played a central role in this process. The paper explores the circumstances that favored Ortega´s role as an agent of change and those that caused the brief and incomplete application of its rules, which contributed to CUO surviving some years but that it would be closed definitively in 1824.

    A Review of Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Research with Sustainability Reporting : 1999-2020 dataset
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) E-Vahdati, Sahar; Aripin, Norhani
    This review paper aims to identify the main areas of studies in the field of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) research with sustainability reports. Using a bibliometric analysis, this study evaluated 955 published documents retrieved from the Scopus database to find a research review structure on GRI with sustainability topics from 1999 to 2020 by utilizing the bibliometric package in VOSviewer and Harzing’s Publish or Perish. This paper examined the most effective journals, authors, countries, institutions, subject area, keywords, citation, co-authorship, co-citation, bibliographic coupling, and co-occurrences networks. Also, this paper demonstrated the intellectual structure of the research and perceived obstacles to growth in the literature. The results show that the trend of publications has been growing over the past 20 years. This study offers a comprehensive understanding and publication of past studies trends and suggests that it will be a much greater number of articles in this field over the next decade which help the future direction of researchers in this area.

    Women in accounting : a historical review of obstacles and drivers on a patriarchal and classist path
    (Universidad de Murcia, Servicio de Publicaciones, 2023) Uribe Bohorquez, María Victoria; García Sánchez, Isabel María
    This document, through a systematic review of academic papers, presents a comprehensive and synthetic proposal that compiles, on the one hand, the prevailing macho, misogynistic and phallocentric obstacles and stereotypes at the family, social and work level between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries and that had an impact on the accounting profession, hindering the access and evolution of women in it. In contrast, a series of factors are presented that drove the training and entry of women to bookkeeping and accounting tasks, which, in turn, served as a way to break stereotypes and traditional gender roles, achieve legislative improvements and the incursion of women into the paid labor market. Besides the above-mentioned elements, it is important to take into account the class perspectives that, under promises of well-being and economic status, idealized a model of a woman whose realization was exclusively at the domestic and family level.
