Abstract:

This thesis consists of three empirical essays on certain aspects of the behaviour of the stock market. The first study measures the impact of political reform on stock market volatility in Southeast Asian countries using a GARCH-family of model. We find that these major political changes have positive impact on the stability of the stock market. The second study employs an Autoregressive Distributed Lag model and Toda-Yamamoto (1995) Granger causality test to assess the interaction between Thailand's stock market and macroeconomic variables. We find long-run and short-run interactions exists

Abstract:

The widespread creation of stock markets in developing countries is one of the most conspicuous features of international financial development in the past three decades. The number of stock markets in Africa increased from only six before 1989 to 21 by 2004. The quest for long-term capital for development and the increasing role played by stock markets in the efficient allocation of resources made the stock market culture inevitable in most cases. 'Africa's emerging markets represent a fast growing part of the world economy, and empirical evidence suggests that they have low, even negative, c

This thesis evaluates the Korean capital market internationalisation and examines the efficiency of the Korean stock market comprehensively. For this purpose this study is concentrated onthree main areas as follows. First, this thesis evaluates the capital market liberalisation by examining the internal market mechanism and conducting geographical comparisons. The general structure of the Korean securities market and disclosure system are described, and the development of the capital market is reviewed. The liberalisation plan is examined.

Abstract:

The present dissertation evaluates specific labour market policies and investigates individual saving behaviour in economies characterized by search and matching frictions in the labour market. The first chapter investigates the optimality of state provided unemployment insurance in a search theoretic framework with saving and borrowing constraints. The model is solved numerically, since an analytic solution is not possible, and then calibrated using features of the US economy. The results demonstrate that when individuals have access to saving, the importance of unemployment benefits provisio

Abstract:

Most attempts by governments to reduce black market activity target the supplier rather than the consumer. The current thesis, however, sees reducing the willingness of the consumer to buy such goods as crucial in reducing the market. Over three studies, I examined variables that affected consumers buying from black markets and their perceptions of black markets. Study 1 (80 participants) confirmed the hypothesis that when the need to buy from a black market was for survival it would be considered more acceptable than to save money or to buy luxury goods.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the existence of, and potential causes of, continuation and reversal effects in stock market returns. In the first part of the research, a timeseries approach is used to consider the profitability of momentum trading strategies on fourteen major stock market indices. Momentum trading strategies exploit continuation in returns, and evidence of significant profits to such strategies therefore implies the presence of continuation effects in the data samples. Significant losses to momentum strategies, on the other hand, are indicative of reversal effects in returns. This part

Abstract:

In this thesis the behaviour of stock returns of firms listed on the Amman Stock Market is examined. The thin trading characteristic of the market is emphasised and its possible effects on empirical investigations are analysed. The first four chapters contain a review of the literature on the importance of stock markets, the Efficient Market Theory and the Capital Asset Pricing Model. The literature suggests that the allocative efficiency of funds via stock markets is related to the operational and pricing efficiency of these markets. In such an efficient market, the expected return on an inve

With this doctoral dissertation, we aim to contribute to the literature in two different ways.

On the other hand, we analyse the evolution of the cross-sectional distribution of activity in the real economy to better understand the firms' destiny. The main results of our two first chapters show that models based on the social interactions provide investors with useful

It is commonplace in wage determination models and, in general, in economic models as a whole, to treat the workers' outside option as given.

The first chapter is devoted to introducing the thesis topic and the related literature. The second chapter describes an economy in which the workers hired by a firm acquire without cost a firm-specific skill that enables them to potentially become independent producers.

The price impact in the home markets is detected before the large trade is executed on SEAQ-I and proceeds in a protracted fashion, implying that substantial pre- and post
