The research discovered that a company's book value and market value are highly correlated. Market value is also related to brand value.

Other explanatory variables that were used in the analysis are per capita GDP (PPP), unemployment rate, and population growth rate. Panel data from 19 middle-income countries for the period from 2000 to 2020 has been used. Fixed Effects Model and Seemingly Unrelated Regression Model (SURs) technique were applied to estimate the effect of gender equity in education and other explanatory variables on income distribution. Empirical evidence revealed that gender equity in education plays an important distributive role in favor of the poor. Per capita, GDP has a non-linear effect on income distribution. Unemployment rate and population growth have a distributive effect on the interest of the poor. The policy implications deduced are that income inequality can be reduced by narrowing the gender gap in education.
