When employing a difference-in-differences (DID) model, it is essential to satisfy the parallel trends assumption. The placebo test is a crucial method for verifying this assumption. The primary objective of this test is to ensure that the estimated treatment effect genuinely reflects a causal relationship, rather than being a spurious effect resulting from model misspecification, random noise, or specific data characteristics.

Abstract Malaysia was among five East Asian nations that successfully leveraged globalisation to achieve sustained high economic growth in the post-war period. But it has been unable to transition beyond upper-middle income to high-income status, unlike the other economies of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. In this paper, we appraise Malaysia’s political leadership to understand the reasons for its restrained growth.

Abstract This study examines the relationship between firm performance and ESG (environmental, social and governance) practice for Malaysian public-listed companies. It evaluates whether the relationship varies with firms’ market capitalisation, total liabilities, and free cash flow. Using firm-level data from 72 companies covered in the FTSE4Good Bursa Malaysia (F4GBM) index from 2014 to 2022, our results show the following.

Abstract Out of the thirteen economies that registered sustained rapid economic growth in the post-war period, only six successfully transitioned into high-income economies. Malaysia did not make the cut. The Commission on Growth and Development (CGD) identified credible leadership as a key factor behind the success of the six economies, but it had very little to say about the individual political leaders.

Detecting the 21-cm signal at z ≳ 6 will reveal insights into the properties of the first galaxies responsible for driving reionisation. To extract this information, we perform parameter inference with 3D simulations of the 21-cm signal embedded within a Bayesian inference pipeline. Presently, when performing inference, we must choose which sources of uncertainty to sample and which to hold fixed.
