Mestrado em Economia Monetária e Financeira<br>This thesis proposes an approach for selection of stocks that could serve as a natural hedge for fixed income portfolios to minimize rising interest rate risk. The developed approach is applied to the case of US equity markets. Based on macroeconomic analysis, vector autoregressive model and Granger causality tests, and financial analysis, it is concluded that US financial sector is the optimal choice among all sectors that have strong correlations with interest rates. The thesis? results could be useful for interest rate risk management of the investment portfolios under the growing interest rate environment, in particular, and for investment industry professionals.<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Full textAbstract:
Traditional demonstration of price fluctuation in the wheat market, by the theory of supply and demand is not comprehensive enough. With limited understanding of macroeconomic effects on the wheat market, accurate prediction of wheat price is impossible. Given the Chinese self—sustainable food policy, grain imports is a sensitive topic which may incur fierce argument. In this paper, however, I emphasize effect of exchange rate on nominal wheat price. By application of the cointegration theory, CPI shows slight negative correlation with nominal wheat price, yet GDP and population move in the same direction as the wheat price. The cointegration study of exchange rate implies, with appreciating Chinese RMB, domestic buyers incline to purchase wheat from the cheaper foreign market. According to the Granger causality test, the whole package of variables suggests significant causal relation with the wheat price.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates whether or not changes in a country’s government debt could affect its domestic stock market performance. The relationship is investigated by examining three different European countries, Germany, Portugal and Sweden, on the basis of two variables; (1) quarterly government debt changes as a percentage of gross domestic product and (2) the quarterly stock market changes over the time period2000:Q2 – 2011:Q2. The evidence is presented with help of Ordinary Least Square Method and Granger Causality test for each respective country. According to the Efficient Market Hypothesis, stock market prices should fully reflect all relevant information, e.g. government debt changes, as soon as they occur, without any delay, if the market is efficient. Past information should be insignificant and therefore not affect the stock market prices in an efficient market. In the cases of Sweden and Germany, the results proved to be ambiguous and thus do not allow for either rejection or acceptance of the Efficient Market Hypothesis with respect to government debt changes. However, some support was found in the case of Germany since the government debt changes and the stock market performance were instantaneously correlated. The empirical results presented in this thesis further allowed for the assumption that Portugal was not able to efficiently capture changes in the debt levels without any delay. This indicates that the Efficient Market Hypothesis can be rejected in regards for Portugal with respect to government debt changes. Furthermore, since the Portuguese stock market performance was not able to capture efficiently changes in the government debt level, it hence could possibly mislead the direction of the economy when looking into the stock prices to determine economic conditions. Moreover, the results imply that each country faces different relationships between the variables and that the relationships possibly could depend on the economic health of a country.

Full textAbstract:
One of the most important objectives for any countries is to sustain high economic growth. Even though there are main factors that affect economic growth, the concern of this paper is only about inflation. The relationship between economic growth and inflation is debatable. The first objective of this study is to investigate the relationship between inflation and economic growth. This study uses panel data which includes 13 SSA countries from 1969 to 2009. To analyze the data the model is formed by taking economic growth as dependent variable and four variables (i.e. inflation, investment, population and initial GDP) as independent variables. The result indicates that there is a negative relationship between economic growth and inflation. This study is also examined the causality relationship between economic growth and inflation by using panel Granger causality test. Panel granger causality test shows that inflation can be used in order to predict growth for all countries in the sample, while the opposite it is only true for Congo, Dep. Rep and Zimbabwe.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund och Problem: Aktiemarknaden påverkas både av inhemska och utländska faktorer. Därför är det av intresse att se vilka makroekonomiska variabler som påverkar den svenska aktiemarknaden. Anledningen till att Sverige har valts som den geografiska punkten är att det är av intresse att se hur ett litet land som Sverige, som har en öppen ekonomi påverkas av de utvalda makroekonomiska variablerna. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att med hjälp av information samt analys, studera hur de olika makroekonomiska variablerna påverkar den inhemska aktiemarknaden. Olika faktorer som påverkar aktiemarknaden kommer att lyftas fram för att i sin tur även se till de olika branscherna. Metod: Då data enbart består av hämtning av tidigare information fokuseras det enbart på sekundärdata i form av historiska siffror samt historiska undersökningar. De statistiska tester som tillämpas är Granger Causality test, Johansens Cointegration test, Impulse Response Function test, ADF test, KPSS test, Mulitpel regression. Slutsats: Med de resultat som presenterades i denna studie, skulle vi nog inte kunna säga att vi har ett svar över vilka aktier en investerare ska införskaffa. Dock skulle vi kunna poängtera att den potentiella investeraren bör ha dessa variabler i beaktning vid beslut. Genom att studera dessa variabler kan man få en känsla om vilket håll variablerna kommer att röra sig och på så sätt säga att de kan påverka aktieindexen. Att bara kolla på de makroekonomiska variabler som denna studie belyser räcker inte för att förstå hur aktieindex kommer att se ut i framtiden, men det är en bit på vägen till att förstå aktiemarknadens rörelse.

Full textAbstract:
This work analyzes an interrelationship between stock indices S&P 500, FTSE 100, DAX, HSI, Nikkei, BSI and PX in a time period from September 2004 till March 2010. Such an interrelationship has already been examined and a dominating position of American indices has been found. This influence was stronger during a financial crisis. Because the examined time period covers both financial crisis and the period before, the work studies their interrelationship in the whole period and at the end in the time period before financial crisis. The influence of one stock index on the other can be cause by several factors: (i) dominance of influencing stock index, (ii) efficient market and (iii) financial crisis. As the reaction of stock index is evoked from new information, the intention of this work is to take into account nonsychronous trading of stocks exchanges. Therefore I explored those exchange stocks closing earlier than the others start in two ways by respecting the time lag and by non-respecting the time lag. The interrelationship between the indices was modeled with help of VAR models and proved by Granger causality test.

Market integration is a frequently discussed topic. This study presents an econometric analysis of the interlinkages between the Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish coniferous roundwood assortment markets by conducting the Johansen’s co-integration test. It also investigates the directional causality between markets concluded integrated. The data utilised consists of quarterly, nominal prices for pine, and spruce saw logs and pulpwood for each country. Because of issues regarding stationary price series, the co-integration test could only be tested on five markets; Swedish and Norwegian pine saw logs and Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish spruce pulpwood. Swedish and Norwegian pine saw log prices were found integrated according to the Johansen’s test, but no relationship was found when performing the Granger causality test, implying that the underlying assumption of non-stationary prices may not have been fulfilled. No linkages were found concerning the spruce pulpwood markets; neither for all three countries nor bi-variate.

Housing bubbles could have a great impact on the economy of a country, especially for a country as large as China. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the housing bubble situation of a region. Based on the classification of cities, this research has selected Yangzhou as the main research sample to predict the overall situation of housing bubble in third-level cities in China. The paper integrates the relevant theories and methods of the housing bubble research mentioned in the literature, and seeks out a set of suitable real estate bubble research methods: using ADF test, EG cointegration analysis to see whether the indicators are suitable as variables in the Granger causality test and regression analysis, and then perform regression analysis on the appropriate variables and housing prices to judge the real estate bubble. Also, the result of Yangzhou is applied to compare with that of Beijing and Shanghai so as to get the difference of real estate markets between first- and third-level cities.<br>Bostadsbubblor kan ge allvarlig inverkan på ett lands ekonomi, särskilt för ett så stort land som Kina.

I detta arbete analyseras förekomsten av en bostadsbubbla i en av Kinas städer i den tredje storleksklassen enligt det kinesiska klassificeringssystemet. Studieobjektet som valts är Yangzhou. I uppsatsen diskuteras de relevanta teorier och metoder som förekommer i litteraturen för analys av bostadsbubblor och ett antal metoder tillämpas. ADF-test och Engel-Grainer-kointegration används för att avgöra vilka av de tillgängliga marknadsindikatorerna som är lämpliga att använda vid test av Granger-kausalitet och i regressionsanalyser. Regressioner med de utvalda variablerna görs sedan mot bostadspriser för att erhålla mått på förekomsten av en bostadsbubbla. De empiriska resultaten från studien jämförs också med resultat för Beijing and Shanghai för att påvisa skillnader mellan marknaderna i städer av första respektive tredje storleksklassen.

Mestrado em Finanças<br>Este estudo tem como finalidade investigar as relações dinâmicas entre o mercado accionista português e a taxa de inflação, através de diversas técnicas econométricas. Pretende-se analisar se o mercado accionista português é um hedge contra a inflação. A amostra é constituída por valores mensais do Portuguese Stock Index-20 e do Índice de Preços no Consumidor, durante o período compreendido entre Janeiro de 2000 a Dezembro de 2010. Primeiramente, na metodologia fez-se o estudo individual por variável e efectuou-se um modelo de regressão simples onde o índice PSI-20 é utilizado como proxy dos retornos do mercado accionista português. De seguida, estuda-se o comportamento de equilíbrio das duas variáveis através do método de Johansen e Juselius (1990). E numa última fase, analisa-se as relações de causalidade de Granger (1988). Foi possível concluir através da estacionaridade das séries que as variáveis tem ordem de integração um, I(1). Pela estimação da regressão linear os resultados sugerem um efeito negativo mas não significativo entre a inflação e o retorno no mercado accionista português. Através do método de Johansen e Juselius (1990) não se encontrou evidências de cointegração entre as variáveis a longo prazo. Por sua vez, para o teste de causalidade estatística constatou-se que existe independência entre as variáveis.<br>This study aims to research on the relationship between the Portuguese stock market and the inflation rate, through various econometric techniques. The goal is to analyse whether the Portuguese stock market is a hedge against inflation. The values used are monthly values of the Portuguese Stock Index and Consumer Price Index for the period from January 2000 to December 2010. Firstly, the methodology used was made by variable individual studies and the creation of a simple regression model where the PSI is used as a proxy for stock market returns. Next, we study the behaviour of equilibrium of the two variables by the method of Johansen and Juselius (1990). In the last phase, we analyse the causal relationships by Granger (1988). It could be concluded through the stationarity of the series that the variables have order of integration one, I(1). The estimation of linear regression results suggests a negative but not significant relationship between inflation and the Portuguese stock market returns. Through the method of Johansen and Juselius (1990), no evidence was found of co-integration between the variables in the long term. However, for the causality test statistic it was found that there is independence between the variables.

This paper analyzes empirically the effect of crude oil price change on the economic growth of Indian-Subcontinent (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh). We use a multivariate Vector Autoregressive analysis followed by Wald Granger causality test and Impulse Response Function (IRF). Wald Granger causality test results show that only India’s economic growth is significantly affected when crude oil price decreases. Impact of crude oil price increase is insignificantly negative for all three countries during first year. In second year, impact is negative but smaller than first year for India, negative but larger for Bangladesh and positive for Pakistan.

Full textAbstract:
Equity risk premium is a financial variable that is surrounded by mystery. Starting from the almost 30 year old equity premium puzzle caused by considerations that equity premium values which are observable in past data imply an implausibly high risk aversion to more recent statements that equity premium does not exist anymore. The purpose of this paper is to find out more about the traits and characteristics of equity risk premium, its current status and interactions of its values across international markets by conducting data analysis on mature equity markets using optimal methods as suggested in academic literature. This paper attempts to clear some of the confusion regarding equity premiums by analyzing equity excess returns in the mature equity markets of France, Germany, Sweden, United Kingdom and USA from 1970 to 2012. It is concluded that equity premium follows a mean reverting process however in short-term and mid-term its values can be volatile and in March 2000 there might have been a structural break. The obtained current equity premium values are significantly higher than zero. At the same time they are lower than popularly used values that are based on longer periods of past data. The paper also finds out that equity premiums in different countries are highly correlated not only due to shared global influence but also due to some direct causality relationships between them, most of which are positive. A panel data analysis is conducted as well to test the explanatory power of some macroeconomic and financial variables on the equity risk premium values and it is concluded that risk-free rate and unemployment rate have some explanatory power for equity risk premium values. This paper manages to clear a part of the mystery that surrounds the equity risk premium.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with various issues regarding determinants of US corporate credit spreads. These spreads are estimated as the difference between yields to maturity for corporate bonds and default-free instruments (Treasury bonds) of the same maturity. Corporate credit spreads are considered as measures of default risk. However, the premium required by investors for holding risky rather than risk-free bonds will incorporate a compensation not only for the default risk but also for other factors related to corporate bonds such as market liquidity or tax differential between corporate and Treasury bonds. In this study we firstly examine the relationship between bond ratings and credit spreads given that bond rating changes are expected to carry some informational value for debt investors. The findings indicate that bond ratings generally carry some informational value for corporate bond investors. The Granger causal relationship is more evident for negative watch lists and during periods of uncertainty in financial markets. In line with previous studies, our results suggest that changes in credit spreads are significantly related to interest rate levels, systematic risk factors (Fama and French) factors and equity returns.

Mestrado em Finanças<br>Com os acontecimentos que desencadearam a crise financeira mundial de 2008, os mercados financeiros globais foram palco do maior contágio de risco de que há memória. Por esta razão, o permanente controlo e monitorização de movimentações extremas em mercados estrangeiros torna-se cada vez mais fundamental para uma boa gestão de risco e, em grande parte, para a sobrevivência das instituições financeiras. Utilizando o conceito da causalidade de Granger em risco, o presente trabalho investiga efeitos de contágio nos principais mercados de acções europeus, protagonizados pelo CAC 40, DAX 30 e FTSE 100. Para tal, foi necessário realizar previsões diárias, recorrendo a diversos modelos paramétricos, do Value-at-Risk (VaR), com as respectivas avaliações do seu desempenho. No âmbito europeu, resultados empíricos permitem concluir a ocorrência de contágio de movimentações extremas negativas, estatisticamente significativas, apenas no sentido do CAC 40 para o FTSE 100. Investigação posterior refere que grande parte do risco presente nos três índices europeus é contribuída pelo S&P 500, não se verificando o inverso.

The output of the National economy of the Czech Republic is conditioned by a sum of important factors. There are sectors, which increased power during the last two decades, mainly due to expansion of modern technologies and knowledge workers. One of this is Construction. Construction is specific to its position in the economy and in particular is characterized by the greatest seasonality ever. However, this is not a problem for statistical analysis, rather a benefit. Modern approaches allow us to analyze seasonal fluctuations. From selected data we are able to construct evolutionary forecasts. The work will be performed for the most important indicators in the Czech Construction. The outcome of the paper will be conditional forecasts of these indicators. It will also make analyze of the relationship between these indicators and other variables that might affected it. The work is practical application of stochastic modeling approach by Box and Jenkins, augmented by more modern approaches, such as verification of Granger causality and co-integration and testing of seasonal unit roots by Hylleberg et al.

Full textAbstract:
Multinational bank activities have gradually risen in developing countries since the beginning of the globalisation process. Rising foreign bank activities in developing countries have motivated researchers to investigate foreign banks, comprehensively. Turkey is a typical example of a developing country that achieved a tremendous growth rate in foreign bank asset, especially throughout the last decade. The aim of this thesis is to examine two-way linkage; (1) between foreign bank penetration (FBP) and banking variables; (2) between FBP and country risk and (3) between FBP, foreign direct investment (FDI) and foreign portfolio investment (FPI) in Turkey. Therefore, this thesis is constructed by three empirical sections. Moreover the pattern of FDI inflow and outflow in the world and in Turkey has been analysed, chronologically. In addition, the theory of FDI is taken into account and existing FDI theories has been criticised. In the first empirical work – Chapter 3 - the short run and long run relationship, if it exits, between FBP and determinants of bank performance (namely, domestic bank assets, domestic credit and banking profitability) in Turkey was investigated after controlling DGDP and 2001 financial crisis (DUM2001). The outcome of the Granger causality test indicates that there was unilateral causality which runs from DDB to DFBP . Moreover, I also found feedback causality between DFBP and DCREDIT . By employing impulse response functions, I found that there is positive relationship between DFBP and DCREDIT as I expected. Moreover, the response of DFBP to one standard deviation shock in domestic bank assets is initially statistically significant and positive. The reverse effect is statistically significant and positive. In the final model, the response of DFBP to one standard deviation shock in profitability (PRO) is significant and positive at 3rd quarter. The reverse effect is surprisingly positive but not statistically significant. Specifically, what has not been also investigated deeply in the empirical literature is the two-way linkage between foreign bank penetration and risk such as political, financial and economic. Thus, in chapter 4, linkage between FBP and country risk (namely, political risk, economic risk and financial risk) was examined in Turkey using quarterly data from 1994Q1 to 2009Q4. My finding indicated that I found one error correction term significant and positive in bivariate vector error correction in model 1 and 2, implying that in the long run, foreign bank penetration has contributed to economic and political risk. Moreover, short run causality based on VAR approach between DFBP and financial risk is investigated but I failed to find any significant causality in the VAR model after controlling DGDP and 2001 financial crisis, even at the 10% level. By analysing impulse response functions, I could not detect any significant relationship between DFBP and host country risk variables in the short run. This is because adding control variables (DGDP and DUM2001) make the relationship between host country risk variables and DFBP statistically insignificant. Finally, I investigated two-way linkage between FBP, FPI and FDI in Turkey after controlling DGDP and 2001 financial crisis. The finding from the VAR based block exogeneity wald test indicated that changes in DFBP significantly lead to changes in DFDI and there is also unilateral causality which runs from FPI to DFBP. Moreover, using the variance decomposition technique I found that DFDI and FPI have little explanatory power for the evolution of DFBP in Turkey. The contribution of DFBP to the variability of DFDI is more than that of FPI. The contribution of DFDI to FPI variability ranges between 0.000% and 9.122% throughout 12 quarter periods whilst the contribution of DFBP to FPI variability ranges between 0.000% and 7.611%.

Usando simulações, mostram-se alguns exemplos de detecção nos quais fica também evidente que resultados assintóticos deduzidos originalmente para estimadores lineares podem ser generalizados de modo análogo, mostrando-se válidos no presente contexto kernelizado.<br>This work examines the connectivity detection problem between time series in the Granger sense when the nonlinear nature of interactions determination is impossible via linear vector autoregressive models, but is, nonetheless, feasible with the aid of the so-called Kernel methods that are popular in machine learning. The kernelization approach allows defining generalised versions for Granger tests, partial directed coherence and directed transfer function, which the simulation of some examples shows that the asymptotic detection results originally deducted for linear estimators, can also be employed under kernelization if suitably adapted.

Full textAbstract:
This research study presents three distinct and separate (but logically linked) essays focused on the price discovery
process of credit risk.
The aim of the first essay (working paper n. 1) is to analyse the long lasting dynamic relationship between
the credit default swap (CDS) premia and the government bond spreads (GBS), by focusing particularly on the
sovereign credit risk, in order to evaluate the lead-lag markets in the price discovery process against the backdrop of
a deep crisis. The focus of this study concerns the case of Italy, one of the major countries subject to international
speculative attacks by market operators because of the weak GDP growth, the high public debt and the political
fragility, for the period 2007-2017.
In the second essay (working paper n. 2) the analysis is extended to the lead-lag relationship between the PIIGS - excp Greece
10-year CDS premia and the respective government bond spreads (GBS) series by employing daily data, from January
2007 to October 2017, provided by Bloomberg. The time interval has been considered as whole in the first part
of the analysis, without distinguishing the different stages of development of the recent crisis, while in the second
part I focused on the sovereign debt crisis impact on the lead-lag relationship.
In the third essay (working paper n. 3) It has been evaluated, as a preliminary stage of the investigation, the lead-lag
relationship between the Italian sovereign 5Y CDS premia and the Italian banks proxy 5Y CDS premia series
by employing daily data, for the interval Q2 2007- Q3 2018 (provided by Bloomberg). The latter series was built
up by using the Intesa San Paolo 5y CDS contracts and the Unicredit 5y CDS contracts series weighted by the
respective market capitalization. In the second part of the study, I extended the determinants inspired by the classic Merton (1974 ) model in order to investigate on the drivers of Italian bank credit risk during the most volatile phases of this decade: the financial crisis (August 2007- October 2009 ), the sovereign debt crisis (October 2009 - July 2012 ) and the anti-establishment
Government/pre-Italy’s budget update (March 2018 - September 2018 ) period.

The dissertation analyzes the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on Economic Growth by extension and economic development of the regions of the Czech Republic (CZ) in 1998 -- 2011. Statistical data empirically study determined motivation of investors to locate in economically strong regions. Following the analysis of statistical data, available resources and a field survey, whose output includes three case studies of specific Foreign Investments in the Czech Republic, the analysis examines whether the arrival of a significant foreign direct investor in the region significantly influenced selected characteristics of economic performance, or other selected areas in region (social, environmental, transport etc.). Moreover, in the context of econometric analysis to test the tightness of the relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth using Pearson's coefficient and characteristics of variability. The causal effect of Foreign Direct Investment on Economic Growth (and vice versa) is analyzed using Granger causality test. The conclusion gives an assessment of the significance of Foreign Direct Investment in the regions of the Czech Republic together with the identification of significant effects brought by investments.

Full textAbstract:
One of the goals of the economic, social and territorial cohesion is to reduce regional disparities between member states of the European Union. For this purpose the structural funds and the Cohesion Fund were established(among other things). The theoretical part of this thesis presents the issue of regional disparities and ways how to measure them. In view of the lack of consistent definition of this concept, there are number of measurement and evaluation methods. Furthermore, the work focuses on the implementation of cohesion policy and ways of measurement of their impact on development and growth of regions. The practical part of this thesis presents, evaluates and compares the regional disparities between the regions of the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic via selected methods and assesses the impact of the financial support provided from the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund in the programming period 2007 - 2013 on economic growth of regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics. Following indicators are included: gross domestic product, unemployment rate, gross fixed capital formation and the rate of economic activity. The influence of the subsidy on the economic growth of regions is validated through the panel data analysis, namely a panel model with fixed effects, and Granger causality test. First, we investigated the impact of this support on the economic performance of regions where it is verified whether there is a relationship between economic performance of NUTS III regions in the Czech and Slovak Republics, characterized by gross domestic product and the unemployment rate, and the amount of the subsidy. Furthermore, it is verified whether the amount of subsidy depends on the level of regional gross domestic product. Dissertation contributes to the discussion about the impact of support from EU funds in the Czech and Slovak Republics, focusing on the regional level, and answers the question of reducing regional disparities using the Structural Funds and the Cohesion Fund.

Doutoramento em Gestão<br>Esta dissertação visa estudar a performance corporativa dos clubes ingleses de futebol profissional, bem como os determinantes da performance dos clubes, com destaque para o efeito dos jogadores formados pelas Academias.
O estudo evidencia existir uma associação positiva e significativa entre a performance financeira e desportiva dos clubes ingleses ao longo das épocas de 1993/94 a 2010/11. Os testes de cointegração indicam a existência uma relação estrutural de longo-prazo entre as variáveis desportivas e financeiras. Este estudo proporciona suporte à corrente da literatura que refere a maximização da performance desportiva sujeita a uma restrição de sustentabilidade financeira de longo prazo, como os principais objectivos dos clubes de futebol. Os testes de causalidade de Granger mostram que existe relações causais diferenciadas entre clubes.
Os jogadores formados pelos próprios clubes tiveram um impacto negativo no desempenho desportivo e receitas, mas um efeito positivo na redução dos gastos salariais. A opção por jogadores formados por outros clubes ingleses teve uma influência negativa na performance desportiva, mas um efeito positivo na rendibilidade e despesas salariais dos clubes. Os resultados sugerem a necessidade de melhorar a produtividade do sistema de desenvolvimento de jovens jogadores em Inglaterra. Finalmente, observámos que os clubes ingleses são heterogéneos sinalizando a existência de peculiaridades em cada clube que são importantes para compreender o a performance alcançada e como desenvolvem as suas vantagens competitivas sustentáveis.<br>This dissertation examines the corporate performance of English professional football clubs and the determinants of clubs’ performance, with particular emphasis on homegrown locally-trained players.
The study shows that there is a positive and significant association between the financial and sporting performance of English clubs over the 1993/94 to 2010/11 seasons. Cointegration tests show that sporting performance and financial variables are linked by a set of long-run structural relationship. Our study lends supports to the theoretical stream that argues that the maximisation of sporting goals, subject to constraint of long- term financial sustainability, are the two main objectives of football clubs. Granger causality tests show that there are different causal relationships between clubs. Homegrown club-trained players had a negative impact on the sporting performance and revenue functions, yet they had a positive effect on reducing salary expenditure. Association-trained players option had a negative influence on the sporting performance function, but a positive effect on profitability and wage expenses for English football clubs. The results suggest that there is a need to improve the productivity of the system for developing young players in England.
Finally, we observed that English clubs are heterogeneous, which signals that idiosyncrasies exist in each club, which is important for understanding both performance and how to develop sustainable competitive advantages.

Les TIC sont un facteur clé de performance dans les pays développés. Cette thèse s’intéresse à l’adoption des TIC et leur impact sur la performance des PME manufacturières d’un pays en développement. A la suite d’une première partie qui présente le cadre théorique et conceptuel, le reste de la thèse est organisé en trois études empiriques. La première étude propose une modélisation Probit afin d’identifier les déterminants d’adoption des TIC. Le capital humain est la variable explicative la plus significative. Se basant sur la régression linéaire à variables muettes, la causalité de Granger, le test de Kruskal-Wallis et le test de l’ANOVA de Welch, suivis des tests post-hoc correspondants, la deuxième étude met en évidence l’existence d’un fort lien statistique significatif entre le niveau d’adoption des TIC et la rentabilité. Dans une troisième étude, plusieurs modélisations Probit (simple, ordonné et multivarié) ont été testées sur différentes mesures de performance. Nous montrons, premièrement, que les TIC ont un impact positif sur la productivité, la rentabilité et la compétitivité. Deuxièmement, les TIC, le capital humain et la formation sont les déterminants de la performance globale. Enfin, la contribution des TIC à la performance globale est forte lorsqu’elles sont combinées au capital humain qualifié. En définitive, nos résultats empiriques ont montré un effet positif des TIC, du capital humain et du changement organisationnel sur la performance des PME<br>ICT is a key performance factor in developed countries. This PhD thesis focuses on the adoption of ICTs and their impact on the performance of manufacturing SMEs in a developing country. Following a first part covering the theoretical and conceptual framework, the rest of the thesis is organized in three empirical studies. The first study uses a Probit model in order to identify the determinants of ICT adoption. Human capital seems to be the most significant explanatory variable. Based on linear regression of dummy variables, Granger causality, Kruskal-Wallis test, ANOVA test of Welch, followed by corresponding post-hoc tests, the second study highlights the existence of a strong statistically significant relationship between the level of ICT adoption and profitability. In a third study, many Probit models (simple, ordered and multivariate) were tested on different measures of performance. Firstly, we show that ICT have a positive impact on productivity, profitability and competitiveness of SMEs. Secondly, ICT, human capital and training are determinants of firm overall performance. Thirdly, when combined together, ICT and highly skilled human resources have an important contribution to the global performance. In conclusion, our empirical results demonstrate a positive impact of ICT, human capital and organizational change on firm performance

Full textAbstract:
Nel corso dell’ultimo secolo la definizione di “autismo” è cambiata in maniera significativa rispetto a quella inizialmente proposta da Kanner, pioniere nell’ambito della ricerca sull’autismo. Il più significativo cambiamento è in particolare costituito dal passaggio da una definizione dicotomica a una visione continua dell’autismo, con il conseguente conio del termine “disturbi dello spettro autistico” (abbr. DSA). Questo cambiamento paradigmatico è associato alla presa di coscienza che questi disturbi si presentano con caratteristiche ed entità diverse da individuo a individuo. Inoltre, sono crescenti le evidenze che suggeriscono la presenza di tratti autistici anche al di fuori della popolazione clinica. In linea con queste osservazioni, l’obbiettivo del mio lavoro di tesi è stato quello di verificare come i pattern di connettività variano fra soggetti ad alto e basso tratto autistico non affetti da disturbi psichiatrici o clinici, nonché di verificare se questi pattern di connettività esibiscono una continuità con quanto osservato in letteratura su soggetti diagnosticati con DSA. A tale scopo, sono stati ottenuti i tracciati EEG da quaranta partecipanti allo studio. Per mezzo della causalità di Granger sono state ottenute le connettività. Le connettività sono state sottoposte sia a test di tipo statistico (Monte Carlo testing) che ad una analisi della centralità mediante l’impiego della teoria dei grafi. I risultati ottenuti per soggetti a basso tratto autistico sembrano accordarsi con quanto riportato in letteratura. Cionondimeno, la presenza nel gruppo ad alto tratto autistico di alcuni importanti outlier (soggetti con connettività estremamente elevate in una sola direzione) impedisce di raggiungere risultati definitivi. In particolare, i p-value elevati associati sia alle misure di centralità che alle connessioni sembrerebbero essere sintomatici di risultati non statisticamente significativi.

The main aim of this thesis is to discover a suitable instant of time for the Czech Republic to join European Monetary Union. I am analyzing dependence between monetary policies of the Czech National Bank (CNB) and the European Central Bank (ECB) themselves as well as in relation to essential Czech macroeconomic indicators. My observation is focused on interest rate policies represented by operative interest rates, on monetary policies represented by indices of nominal effective exchange rates and on convergence monitoring. The analytical instruments I used in the thesis are correlation analyses, linear trends, the Granger causality test and the Impulse-Reaction test. Besides, my thesis examines fulfillment of the Convergence (Maastricht) criteria in the Czech Republic and other central European countries. This thesis also examines impact of the European monetary policy on some Eurozone member countries.

Global carbon dioxide emissions over is the main factors that cause the greenhouse effect. In particular, the Kyoto Protocol entered into force in 2005. Led all countries in the world directly or indirectly influenced by the reduction of greenhouse gas pressure. At this time, if able to master to have great influence on the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide emissions, they will be in the relevant units to assist the development of appropriate countermeasures to prevent the continued accumulation of greenhouse gases on the
environment. Foreign direct investment will help the country''s economic development. Foreign direct investment and carbon dioxide emissions is affecting each other or not, and their causality relationship? It is the most important issues in this paper.
Globalization is the main trend on economic development and corporate investment in the world. This paper using the panel data of the carbon dioxide emissions and the amount of foreign direct investment in 1992-2005 years cross 200 countries to carry out empirical analysis. The countries were classified into two groups developed and developing to carry out Panel Data Granger causality test. Variable of Carbon dioxide emission measured by the calendar year emissions on the country selected from 1992-2005 year. Variables of foreign direct investment classified into inflow of foreign direct investment and outflow of foreign direct investment measured by the calendar year amount on the country selected from 1992-2005 year.
The results from the empirical analysis, in the developed countries found that have the existence of mutual influence two-way causal relationship between carbon dioxide emissions and the amount of foreign direct investment (inflow and outflow).The inflow and outflow foreign direct investment will help the country''s economic development. In the other hand, it will also impact on the environment. But in the developing countries found that Carbon dioxide emissions will affect the inflow of foreign direct investment, to the outflow of foreign direct investment are not. This also shows that the pollution haven hypothesis in developing countries has been verified.

This study extracted 35 competitive Equity of Mutual Funds in Taiwan from year 2001 to 2013. Taking into the phenomenon of cross-sectional dependence and heterogeneity of variables, we applied Bootstrap Panel Granger Causality Test proposed by Kónya (2006) with every 5 years as a period to distinguish the four causalities of fund managers’ sentiment and fund performance - Optimism, Conservation, Feedback, and Neutrality for establishing four kinds of portfolios. To observe what the portfolio has a better future return. The empirical results show, regardless future rewards of 1 year or 3 year periods, the Feedback of causality which involves mutual effect between fund managers’ sentiment and fund performance is the best reward. On the contrary, the Conservation of causality where fund performance affects fund managers’ sentiment, is rather poor in reward. The result will contribute to the academia with a deeper understanding of professional investor’s psychological bias and will also serve as a supplementary criterion for future fund selections and ratings.

碩士<br>南華大學<br>經濟學研究所<br>95<br>Energy consumption and economic growth are constantly considered imperative issues in energy economy. However, previous studies had explored the relationship between them based on a linear assumption but ignore the nonlinear behavior which changes as a result of structural break. In this study, we not only applies linear causality test but also the nonlinear Granger causality test approach, proposed by Baek and Brock (1992), to examine the causal relationship between energy consumption and economic growth in Asian newly industrialized countries, including Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand and the United States. The results based on linear causality test and nonlinear causality test indicate the non-existence of causality between energy consumption and economic growth across the United States, Thailand, and Korea which coheres with the neutrality hypothesis of energy consumption. The results also reveal that unidirectional causality running from economic growth to energy consumption in the Philippines and Singapore. Furthermore, this study also shows that the change of energy consumption may affect the economic growth in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Malaysia and Indonesia. Those results indicate that energy conservation policies should be designed deliberately in a way that utilization of such policies doesn''t have diminishing effects on economic development.

This study using the framework of Hong, Liu and Wang (2009) to study the causal relationship in risk between the real estate market, the REITs market and the stock market in the U.S.. Empiricals evidence shows that the extreme risk in the real estate market may Granger-cause the risk in the REITs and the stock market. This finding implies that the real estate market may be the source of risk to other asset markets when the real estate market suffered extreme risk. Because the subprime mortgage crisis originated in the real estate market, government may need to monitor the risk in the real estate market to preventevere influence to the national economy. The investor can not ignore the real estate market information, to avoid the encounter risks.

the form of relationship under consideration isGranger
causality, which is directly related to the forecasting ability.
And the applied variables under consideration are the stock
price and volume.After we review and discuss the stock price-
volume relation in the previousstudies, we establish new
statistics to test the Granger causality.The new statistics are
like the wellknownmaximum and range CUSUM-tests.Under the
circumstance of covariance stationary,we can use our new
statistics to do the joint test for the all covarianceswe can
estimate presicely. Our test does not requireall the objective
filtering procedures, so it improves the existing tests
forGranger causality.According to our empirical result in
applying the data of Taiwanstock market, the change rate of the
Taiwan stock index and the change rateof the aggregate trading
volume have the relation of so-called "feedback": the former
causes the latter, and the latter causes the former;however, the
result from the S statistic used by Rogalski (1978) only
showsthe former causes the latter.Based on our result, we should
be able to use the information of thevolumes available nowadays
to improve our predicting abilityin the future price movement.

1. R&D expenditures and Tobin’s Q have bilateral feedback relationships under the Granger causality test.
2. Managerial overconfidence and Tobin’s Q have bilateral feedback relationships under the Granger causality test.
3. There is no direct association between managerial overconfidence and R&D expenditures.
4. The impulse response function shows that, when interference strikes the three variables, its impulse response effects have maximum reaction in the first year and will disappear after 3 to 4 years later.

The research period was between September 2011 and August 2014. The data were assessed using a unit root test, causality test, vector autoregression modeling, forecast error variance decomposition, and impulse response analysis. Vector autoregression modeling revealed that the TAIEX trend was positively influenced by the Taiwan Top 50 of the previous period. Forecast error variance decomposition showed that the self-explanatory power of the various ETFs were inferior to that of the TAIEX. A certain amount of connection existed between the TAIEX and the ETFs, and the return of investment of the ETFs were not inferior to that of the TAIEX.

In this study, instead of applying conventional Granger causality test to investigate the relationship between stock prices and trading volume, Breitung and Candelon (2006) procedure based on Frequency domain has been applied for analyzing the data. Empirical results demonstrate that the causal relationship between returns and volume is almost nonexistent in conventional Granger causality test. However, the empirical results show one-way causality running from stock price to trading volume only in the short-term period (2.4 week to 3.3 week) when Breitung and Candelon (2006) procedure based on Frequency domain has been applied. This view emphasizes a vibration in prices can stimulate economic activity and influence the trading volume in Romania.

Efficient Market Hypothesis assumes that most of the investors in the market are rational, and that the market information can quickly be reflected in the market price. Many stock return phenomenons like the January Effect are observed which can’t be explained by Efficient Market Hypothesis. Such phenomenons possibly occur due to some irrational investments. In Behavioral Finance, psychology is used to study the investor mentality. A common mentality among investors is that they may be influenced by psychological biases when they invest in the market leading to an irrational investment. The most common psychological biases in the stock market are representativeness heuristic, underreaction, overreaction, overconfidence, herd behavior, and the size effect.
In this study, we purpose to find those common psychological biases whether or not exist in the market. First we define which indexs to estimate those psychological biases in the stock market, and then we use the Granger Causality Test and correlation analysis to study the association of psychological biases and returns of 40 companies during different company trends. We find that representativeness heuristic, underreaction, overreaction, and herd behavior exist in the market, but overconfidence didn’t exist in the market. Herd behavior exists in the small company. The investors can use the psychological biases to estimate that the future stock price might be up or down.

M2 proportional to GDP and Stock Turnover as financial growth of agent''s parameter, The quarterly total export is known as the agent''s parameter of export trading. Based on the Cointegration test analysis, the economical and financial growth, as well as of export trading between these two countries are stable under long term period. Whereas, according to the analysis of Vector Error Correction Model and Granger Causality test, the results had shown that the increase of exporting is directly proportional to the economical growth between these two countries,The financial changes will have positive impact on the economical growth in China but not in Taiwan, Stock market development will have no impact on China’s economical growth,As for Taiwan, changes of stock market will have short term impact on the economical growth, The financially changes had shown to have positive impact on the export trading.
The analytical results had shown that, the increase of export trading in Taiwan and China are positively affecting the global economical growth. Due to the impacts of bad fiduciary loan and financial reformation happened in Taiwan for the past few years, The financial development in recent years is not benefiting the economic in Taiwan; In china, as a result of increasing in financial needs, financial market opening and etc, the financial development is consider as one of the main factors for economical growth; As the international trading getting more complex, the financial demand will be increased as well, Therefore, the export trading and financial changes for both countries are positively affecting each other, but the effects for Taiwan are only short term and for China, the effects will be long term.

碩士<br>開南大學<br>財務金融系碩士班<br>95<br>After TTT listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange at 2003/06/30, we propose to find the lead-lag relationship among the different stock markets’ ETF prices as reference for the investors. We use 8 prices in American and Asian stock markets, during the period from 2004/10/08 to 2006/05/24, with total 422 daily transaction data. The international financial markets’ ETF prices analyzed by time serial methods, such as Unit Root Test, Cointegration Test, Granger Causality Test, Vector Auto-Regression Model, Impulse Response Analysis and Forcast Error Variance Decomposition analysis. The conlusions are as follow:
1. According to the Unit Root Test, all the serials of prices by the 1st-differ are the stationary serials of . This could prove that the consequence would not lead to the spurious regression as Granger and Newhold ( 1974 ) stated.
2. According to the Cointegration Test, it shows that there is not a long-term interrelationship among TTT, QQQQ, SPDR, EWH, EWJ, EWS, EWY, FXI.
3. According to the Granger Causality Test, we find except for there is a unidirectional relationship among TTT prices to others, QQQQ prices to EWJ prices and FXI prices to e EWH prices, there is an independency relationship among all other ETF prices.
4. According to the Impulse Response Analysis, except SPDR prices have negative implication with TTT prices at the primary stage, and FXI prices have no implication with TTT prices, all other ETF prices have positive and continuing implication with TTT prices, especially TTT prices have stronger implication with itself.
5. According to the Forcast Error Variance Decomposition analysis, TTT , evidence is found that the dalily ETF prices is not affected by all other ETF prices at the primary stage, but observe over a long period of time, TTT prices is mainly affectad by QQQQ, EWH, SPDR, EWS, EWY prices , especially QQQQ.

碩士<br>僑光科技大學<br>財務金融研究所<br>107<br>Bitcoin is by far the most innovative and most widely accepted digital currency in the market. Since its inception in 2008, it has undergone ups and downs, especially since 2017. It is even fierce, even in early 2018. It is a breakthrough price of 20,000 US dollars that has attracted the attention of investors around the world. In order to understand the factors that affect Bitcoin's volatility, this study tried to use a Unit Root Test and Cointegration Test and Granger causality test to check the price of Bitcoin from 2011 to November 30, 2018 and the price of gold and the United States, China, India, Japan、Korea、Taiwan、Turkey、Argentina、Italy、Netherlands、United Kingdom、Switzerland and other countries. Whether the currency and Stock index have a common change relationship.
The results of the study show that the Dow Jones、Nasdaq、Nikkei225、KOSPI、ISE National-100 index、FTSE、Swiss Stock Index、SENSEX-30、TAIEX、FMIB、AEX、MERVAL Index。 has a total integration relationship. Shows a long-term equilibrium relationship between Bitcoin prices and economic variables. Therefore, this study finds that Granger causality shows that Dow Jones、KOSPI、AEX will affect the price of Bitcoin. while the Nasdaq、Nikkei225、SENSEX-30、MERVAL Index will be affected by bitcoin prices. Then the ISE National-100 index, the FTSE, the Swiss Stock Index, the TAIEX and Bitcoin have an interaction. As for the FMIB, there is no causal relationship with Bitcoin.

Full textAbstract:
South Africa has become more dependent on portfolio inflow to finance investment and consumption due to the low rate of government and household savings. Therefore, it is important from South Africa‟s perspective to maintain a stable portfolio inflow in order to ensure that the current account deficit does not reach unsustainable levels. However, portfolio inflow is anything but stable in South Africa. The risk associated with this is that when foreigners‟ expectations of South Africa shift, due to any form of instability or risk within the country or even internationally, it leads to massive withdrawals or outflow of funds, which in turn causes the currency to depreciate. The portfolio balance theory on the other hand states that an increase in portfolio inflow leads to the appreciation of the nominal exchange rate, and that this is perceived to work against economic growth.
The main objective of this research is to determine the nature of the relationship between exchange rate volatility and portfolio flows, and the extent to which volatility in the exchange rate affect South Africa‟s portfolio inflow. The research uses Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models and quarterly data, ranging from 1995 to 2012 to investigate this relationship. From the VAR models a Granger causality test, as well impulse response functions is used to shed light on the influence of a one-unit shock in both foreign portfolio inflow and exchange rate volatility on the other variables in the model. Exchange rate volatility is measured using both Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) family models and the conventional standard deviation, in order to control for possible biasness caused by the choice of instrument of volatility.
The results showed the nature of the relationship between exchange rate volatility and foreign portfolio inflow to South Africa‟s capital markets can be described as country-dependent and time-varying. South Africa‟s portfolio inflow exhibits high volatility and low persistence that are characteristics normally associated with “hot money”, which is largely driven by foreign investors‟ appetite for short-term speculative gains. The study identified the consistent presence of bidirectional causality between the exchange rate volatility and foreign portfolio inflow to South Africa, irrespective of the measurement of exchange rate volatility. The results also
revealed that net portfolio flows are associated with exchange rate appreciation and that foreign portfolio inflow react much stronger to changes in exchange rate volatility than vice versa.<br>MCom (Risk Management), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
