We extend the concept to incorporate key financial variables such as cash flow and critical financial thresholds.
Thus, financial variables such as expected earnings are important precursors of individuals' investment behavior (Nagy and Obenberger 1994).
The SBS provides information on financial variables such as firm-level added value and gross operating surplus per hour.
One way was by using fundamentals that compared a stock's price with concrete financial variables such as earnings and book value.
Due to the great volume of trading in stock markets, significant profit can be made by improving trading performance using adequate forecasting of financial variables such as stock prices, stock market indices, and prices of financial derivatives; that is why several research works in different fields of study have been performed on this subject so far.
A key impetus for this paper stems from the fact that various financial service companies routinely create "economic scenarios", whereby seasonal and nonstationary financial and economic variables such as those examined here are simulated (and predicted) using relatively simple time series models.
A few that we consider as important for this context are parental (or familial) attitudes, and financial and physical presence variables such as, their permissive views about sex, financial support, monitoring, etc… may suggest "normative standards" for the youth to follow [ 48].
Second, we do not include potentially relevant financial, social and emotional variables, such as the respondents' insurance status, willingness to pay for testing, test administration, family size, country-specific policies, AD media coverage, level of religiosity, history of depression or fear of discrimination [ 30, 35, 46, 52, 53].
Further, if the study analyzed additional data related to the relationship of variables such as financial stress, personal hardships, health etc., broader conclusions could be drawn.
Other variables, such as financial performance indicators, do not need to be aggregated, as they are (only) available at the organizational level.
The strength of this study lies in the study's detailed analysis of student factors associated with dropout (commonly studied variables along with other variables such as financial problems, social isolation, absenteeism, leave of absence) on a large cohort of students using a combination of qualitative and quantitative data.
