The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effect profitability ratios and activities on firms' value with stock prices as intervening variable. The study was conducted for 10 years on 39 property, real estate and building construction companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results showed profitability and activity had a positive effect on stock prices, but did not affect the value of the company. Stock prices are able to mediate the effect of profitability and activity on firm value. The research implications show that the higher profitability and activity ratios cause stock prices to rise and result in an increase in the value of the company.

This paper establishes an analytical model of the banking liquidity management behavior based on microeconomic theory. We include the exchange rate as one of an important factor on the banking liqudity management behavior. In addition, we examine the impact of bank’s capital condition (flexible and fixed) on the banking liquidity management behavior. Inculding these two factors provide a better model in explaining the actual banking liquidity management behavior.The callibrated model is applicable on analyzing the effectiveness of the monetary policy, distinguishing the bank category and analyzing the impact of the monetary policy, simulating the impact of the monetary policy or simulating the impact of the bank regulatory. However, the model is still in the static framework model, and we leave the dynamic specification as further research.Keyword: portfolio bank, nilai tukar, modal bankJEL: G21, C61, E44
