This is because there is substantial difference in the structure of these firms belonging to each category. We examine the difference in the structure of the Indian firms in each category by using Logit regressions. Further, we analyze firm level data for the period 2007-08 to 2009-10 using accounting based firm performance measure Return on Assets (ROA) since our data includes unlisted firms as well for which market based information is not available. We include the variable square of size along with size (and other variables) to account for non-linear relationship between the size and ROA. The results of cross section regressions show that ROA and size have inverted U-shape relationship for all categories of firms except BG unlisted category. Further we find that the impact of firm level variables on ROA is different in each category of firms.","PeriodicalId":253875,"journal":{"name":"IICM 2012 11th Indian Institute of Capital Markets Conference (Archive)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124881322","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}
{"title":"An Assessment of FII Investments in Indian Capital Market","authors":"Harendra Behera","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2258352","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2258352","url":null,"abstract":"This paper reviews the policies for foreign portfolio investments and empirically assess the impact FIIs investments on Indian equity market. Particularly, the study tries to examine the effects of FIIs investment on equity return, stock market liquidity and volatility. Using monthly data and ordinarily least square, the study found that FIIs investments have a positive impact on both returns and liquidity. However, the GARCH estimates from daily data suggest FIIs investments increase volatility in Indian stock market. Investments by foreign institutional investors (FIIs) witnessed a marked expansion over the years. Ever since the opening of the Indian equity markets to foreigners, net FII investments have steadily grown from about Rs. 13 crores in 1992-93 to over Rs.66,000 crore in 2007-08 before it turning to a net disinvestment of Rs. 45,811 crore in 2008-09, on an annual basis. In subsequent period, it increased sharply to Rs. 1,46,438 crore in 2011-12. With the increase in limit of FIIs investments in corporate debt and Government securities, the investments in debt component also increased significantly from Rs. 29 crore in 1996-97 to Rs.49,988 crore in 2011-12, on an annual basis. This buoyant foreign investment flows into the country have continued to demonstrate the high level of confidence that the international investors repose in the Indian economy and as also norms for FII investments have been progressively relaxed. On the other hand, large reversal of FII inflows during 2008-09 global crisis, made balance of payments management difficult and led the Indian rupee to depreciate significantly.","PeriodicalId":253875,"journal":{"name":"IICM 2012 11th Indian Institute of Capital Markets Conference (Archive)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129933476","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}

The foreign exchange rate volatility of Indian rupee against US Dollar investigated by using different ARCH family models Such as ARCH(1,1) GARCH(1,1) EGARCH(1,1) TGARCH(1,1) etc... further to measure the impact of structural changes in exchange rate system of India, from pegged exchange rate to the Liberalized Exchange Rate Management System (LERMS) in 1992 and market determinant exchange rate regime in 1993, on exchange rate volatility this study divide the entire sample period in to two sub periods, namely pre implementation period(April 1973 to February 1993) and post implementation(march 1993 to march 2012) period. The study found by the symmetric GARCH (1,1) model that the volatility of Indian foreign exchange rate is highly persistent in all three period and in the case of post LERMS period which is high than that of Pre LERMS sample period. The asymmetric models such as EGARCH and TGARCH were evidenced that there is existence of asymmetric or leverage effect in Indian Foreign Exchange rate in all the three sample periods and that is more in post LERMS period. Over all this study modeled of Indian foreign exchange rate volatility.","PeriodicalId":253875,"journal":{"name":"IICM 2012 11th Indian Institute of Capital Markets Conference (Archive)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-12-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129762678","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}
