Highlighting Determinants of Financial Performance of the Jordanian Financial Sector: Panel Data Approach
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study was aimed at identifying the main determinants of financial performance in Jordanian financial sector over 2005-2016 periods. Profitability ratio (return on equity) was used as a proxy of financial performance measurement. Meanwhile, firms’ specific variables, macroeconomic variables and non-economic factors were used as explanation variables. Panel data set for four sub-sectors of financial sector over the above period were used. Pooled OLS, Fixed effect, random effects techniques with Heteroskedasticity and Serial Correlation Robust Standard Error estimation methods were employed. The empirical results showed that liquidity and leverage were the key determinants of financial performance while risk, macroeconomic factors and non-economic factors do not affect the financial performance of financial sector in Amman Stock Exchange. Therefore, the results conclude that financial performance is mainly driven by firm specific factors (company characteristics). Thus, a sound financial performance can be obtained by giving attention to firm specific variables.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
