Despite extensive research on capital structure determinants in advanced markets, limited attention has been given to emerging economies like India, where the dynamics of corporate finance are influenced by unique institutional, economic, and market conditions. This research explores firm-specific factors impacting the capital structure of Indian manufacturing firms using data spanning the financial years 2010-11 to 2019-20. To ensure robust analysis, the study adopts an innovative methodological framework combining the generalized method of moments (GMM) technique and the Random Forest model, a machine-learning approach. GMM is utilized to address endogeneity issues often present in dynamic panel data, while the Random Forest model identifies and ranks the key determinants of capital structure, adding a novel dimension to the analysis. By employing these complementary techniques, the study provides deeper insights into the factors shaping leverage decisions in Indian manufacturing firms. A significant contribution of this study is its sector-wise analysis, which evaluates whether firm-specific determinants of capital structure vary across different manufacturing sectors. A more detailed comprehension of leverage decisions is provided by this method, which takes into account the fact that different sectors exhibit different financial behaviour and operational traits. Particularly for developing nations, the results highlight the need for sector-specific approaches to fiscal management and policymaking. In sum, by combining time-honoured econometric methods with state-of-the-art machine learning models, this study adds to our knowledge of the factors that influence capital structure in the Indian setting. The results offer valuable implications for corporate managers, policymakers, and investors seeking to optimize leverage decisions in dynamic and diverse market conditions. This study also lays the groundwork for future research exploring the interplay between firm-specific characteristics, sectoral dynamics, and capital structure in emerging economies.Item Estimates of Progress Toward Achieving Sustainable Development Goal-7 by 2030: Insights From Household Cooking Fuel in BRICS Nations(Energy RESEARCH LETTERS, 2025) Undakotti, MohanThe reliance on polluting fuels has sparked global concerns over the environmental and health consequences of pollution.

Moreover, it highlights the encouraging emergence of electricity as a popular fuel in rural areas of China and South Africa, indicating a positive and promising shift towards cleaner energy sources.Item Financial reporting quality dynamics in India: the role of IFRS convergence and corporate governance(Corporate Governance: The International Journal of Business in Society, 2025) Gomes, Lorraine; Costa, JuaoThis paper aims to investigate the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) convergence on value relevance and earnings management for Indian listed firms while also exploring whether the relationship is moderated by the firms’ corporate governance structures. Design/methodology/approach Corporate governance (CG) scores of 573 listed firms were calculated by using a self-constructed index for a period of 7 years (2014–2015 to 2020–2021). Static and dynamic panel models with generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators were used to test the conditional hypothesis that the impact of the Indian IFRS converged standards (Indian Accounting Standards [IndAS]) on information quality is affected by the firm’s corporate governance strength. Findings The estimates reveal that the positive effect of corporate governance scores on the value relevance of earnings reduces in the presence of IFRS, whereas the interaction of both the variables on book values remains insignificant. Secondly, the use of IndAS reduces discretionary accruals, but corporate governance does not have a significant moderating effect within the equation. Practical implications The results offer an interesting perspective into the debate on IFRS consequences and the role of internal institutional frameworks. It provides preliminary evidence suggesting that although corporate governance improves the value relevance of earnings, it may not be entirely effective in reducing the management of earnings. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is the first study in India to provide empirical findings on the role played by corporate governance mechanisms in explaining the relationship between IFRS convergence and accounting information quality. The analysis accounts for modelling issues such as endogeneity and autocorrelation by using dynamic panel models and instrumental variables.Item Opinion of Students of Goa (India) Towards Advertisements: An Investigational Report(International Journal of Academic Research Vol.3, Issue-10(1), October, 2016, 2016) Costa, JuaoTelevision advertisements are powerful tools which influences the public.

The Government of India together with the State Governments is trying to empower the women through various schemes so that they become economically independent. These schemes have played very important role in reducing the vulnerability of poor women, through asset creation, income generation and provision of emergency assistance. However, the success of these schemes is determined by their reach. If the needy women are not aware of the schemes, then it would limit the number of beneficiaries of such schemes and the very purpose of such schemes would not be achieved. The schemes selected for the study were Griha Aadhar Scheme, Mamta Scheme, Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana and Ladli Laxmi Scheme. The main objective of the study is to know the impact of demographic variables on the awareness level of schemes among women beneficiaries and to know the socio-economic impact of the schemes. Snowball method of sampling was used to select a sample of 220 women beneficiaries for the study. The data was analysed using statistical tools like mean, standard deviation, independent t-test, paired t-test, Chi-square and ANOVA. It was concluded that moderate level of empowerment was found among women beneficiaries.

The finance under this scheme can be availed by women through the SHG membership and individually. The objectives of the study were to determine whether the women beneficiaries were economically empowered and to assess the impact of challenges faced by the women beneficiaries. A study among 150 women beneficiaries was conducted to determine their economic empowerment. the sample was collected by using convenient sampling. Mean, standard deviation and ANOVA were used to analyse the data. The mean values of various economic variables selected for the purpose of the study were found to have increased after availing the scheme.Item WOMEN EMPOWERMENT THROUGH GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL SCHEMES WITH REFERENCE TO SWARNAJAYANTI GRAM SWAROJGAR YOJANA SCHEME IN GOA(Kanpur Philosophers Vol. IX, Issue I, July 2022, 2022) Dhumatkar, DeepaWomen play an important role in the overall growth of human resources.
