Return on assets, return on equity, net profit margin, earning per share and dividend per share are the independent variables. And market price per share and change in market price per share are the dependent variables. Data are collected from the Banking and Financial Statistics and Bank Supervision Report published by Nepal Rastra Bank and annual reports of the selected commercial banks. \u0000The study is based on 13 commercial banks of Nepal from 2007 to 2014, leading to a total of 104 observations. The regression models are estimated to test the significance and impact of fundamental factors in stock price of Nepalese commercial banks. The result shows that dividend per share (DPS), return on assets (ROA) and earning per share (EPS) are positively related to the stock price (market price per share and change in market price per share). This indicates that higher the DPS, ROA and EPS, higher would be the stock price. However, net profit margin is negatively related to stock price. The regression result shows that the beta coefficients for DPS and EPS are positively significant with market price per share at 5 percent level of significance.","PeriodicalId":108284,"journal":{"name":"Econometric Modeling: International Financial Markets - Emerging Markets eJournal","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115179053","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We apply two varieties of early warning systems: the signal approach and the logit models. For both methods we find that using forecasts of the indicators worsens the predictive ability of early warning systems compared to using the most recently available information (ex post).","PeriodicalId":108284,"journal":{"name":"Econometric Modeling: International Financial Markets - Emerging Markets eJournal","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127332529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used the unit root test, Johansen-Juselius cointegration test, Granger causality analysis, impulse response function analysis, and variance decomposition analysis to test the hypothesis that the futures market with no market frictions leads the spot market in this analysis. The results of these analyses using level variables show that there is a bi-directional lead-lag relationship between the VKOSPI futures and VKOSPI index, but in the analysis using first-difference variables, there is only a unidirectional lead-lag relationship form VKOSPI index to VKOSPI futures. This means that the VKOSPI spot market is more efficient than the futures market. Also, there are no lead-lag relationship from VKOSPI futures or VKOSPI index to KOSPI index. It is inconsistent with the main expected hypothesis in our study and the conclusions of previous studies which argue that the VIX futures lead the VIX index and S&P 500 index. This results are related to a lack of liquidity of VKOSPI futures contracts in the Korean derivatives market. Because generally, the Korean institutional investors prefer option trading, to hedge market risk rather than VKOSPI futures. Change in the price of the option will result in the change in the VKOSPI index and subsequently the mechanism that alters the VKOSPI futures or the KOSPI index.","PeriodicalId":108284,"journal":{"name":"Econometric Modeling: International Financial Markets - Emerging Markets eJournal","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128561073","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also investigate the effect of the net US dollars (USD) purchase/ sale by the central bank, the net foreign institutional investor (FII) inflows and the one month forward spot differential on the monthly US exchange rate. Furthermore, we also test the presence of the calendar effect such as the monthly effect and the day-of-week effect on these exchange rates. We find that the models with the normal error distribution tend to fit the monthly log returns of the exchange rates better than those with the non-normal error distribution and the converse is true for the daily log returns. The calendar effects in the mean model are pronounced and Fridays on an average witness an appreciation of the Indian rupee against all the currencies we tested. Month of August has significant impact on the US exchange rate and June on the other three exchange rates. The leverage effect is not pronounced in all the exchange rates. The EGARCH models with the calendar effect dummies in the volatility model are not parsimonious. The net purchase/ sale of USD in a given month by the central bank and the one month forward spot differential do not have any significant impact on the monthly US exchange rate. But the net inflow of USD from foreign institutional investors leads to an appreciation of Indian rupee against USD. Thus the concern that capital inflows, especially the easily repatriable ones, could appreciate the Indian rupee seems to be correct but the net purchase/ sale of USD by the RBI does not seem to be abating the impact.","PeriodicalId":108284,"journal":{"name":"Econometric Modeling: International Financial Markets - Emerging Markets eJournal","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124715324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
