The determinant factors are categorized into market attribute, economic fundamentals and world information. Our sample consists of 26 equity markets of ive regional trading blocs, namely AFTA, CER, EFTA, EU and NAFTA over the period of January 1999 to August 2005. We measure market integration based on pricing errors as proposed by Korajczyk (1996) and Levine and Zervos (1998). Using panel regressions, our results show that equity integration in these trading blocs is driven internally, where only individual-market volatility and economic fundamentals play a signiicant role in the process. Intra-bloc trade is found to enhance regional equity market integration, supporting the notion that regional convergence extends beyond the trade sector that is promoted in the trade agreements. We also document regime shifting effects during stock market crises, where most of these markets became strongly integrated after a regional crisis, but integration was signiicantly weakened during a crisis that affected the world markets. Also, the level of equity market integration differs across trading blocs, where the blocs with a smaller number of country members are relatively more integrated. \");} \u0000// --> activate javascript","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2014-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68238591","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}

Price manipulation is prevalent in emerging markets, which still have institutional problems and lack regulations. A stock market as a mutual company has an institutional problem when a stock broker instead of being an intermediary, behaves like a dealer and a principal for some stocks. A stock broker has strong incentives to give a signal to public investors about price of some stocks in order to get an unfair proit. A usual pattern of manipulation done by stock broker is a pump and dump manipulation. Artiicial price increase was made by manipulators through buying and selling activities among themselves until tend chaser and naive investors jump to this game. When stock price is at the highest level, manipulators start selling their stock. This research measured and identiied behavior pattern of stock brokers in Indonesian Stock Market, concerning their contribution to price manipulation existence. Because of the important role played by foreign investors in Indonesian stock market, this research would also identify interaction pattern between foreign and domestic investors. Empirical researches showed that foreign investors were underperformed domestic investors in Indonesian stock market (Dvorak, 2005, and Agarwal et al. 2009). In spite of their superior experience and inancial support compared to domestic investosr, foreign investors got lower return on average. Agarwal et al. (2009) showed this phenomenon occured because foreign investors were more aggressive than domestic investors. Dvorak (2005) argued that domestic investors had more access and network to collect short run information and were able to transfer those information to proitable trading strategy. This research tested new hypothesis about foreign investors' underperformance, that those foreign investors were entrapped in manipulative mechanism done by domestic investors having short run information through domestic stockbroker companies. \");} \u0000// --> activate javascript","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":"2 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2014-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68238743","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}

Primarily, the empirical investigation assesses the extent to which Indonesian listed companies are publicly reporting their IC both the amount and type of information being reported. Secondly, the investigation also examines the extent to which the various categories of IC are represented in the annual reports of the sample companies. Finally, the study explores the extent to which the level of IC disclosures could be related to companies' characteristics such as industry category, age, ownership structure and market capitalization. The sample was Indonesia's 23 largest companies listed in the Jakarta Stock Exchange. In light of research limitations, the preliminary and tentative indings of this study indicate that irst of all, similar to indings worldwide, Indonesian companies have substantial intellectual capital and they do aware and disclose their intellectual capital in the annual reports. Secondly, IC that tends to be most often reported is relational capital, followed by human capital and organizational capital. Thirdly, even though the trend in IC disclosure as a whole is generally increasing, there is no conclusive and predictable pattern found. Fourthly, the IC identiied and reported is inconsistent as no framework available in helping the companies discloses intellectual capital. Fifthly, most of the intellectual capital components identiied are in qualitative format. Sixthly, even though the study did not ind a conclusive evidence regarding the relationship between the level of IC disclosure and company characteristics such as industry, age, ownership structure, and market capitalization, however some indings are noteworthy. Finally, a comprehensive framework is yet to be developed, especially for collecting and reporting IC formation for consistency and comparability purposes. \");} \u0000// --> activate javascript","PeriodicalId":40640,"journal":{"name":"Indonesian Capital Market Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2014-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68238478","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}

Two structural models, extended Merton and Longstaff & Schwartz (LS) models, are used in determining these prices, yields, yield spreads and probabilities of default. ML estimation is used to determine the volatility of irm value. Since irm value is unobserved variable, Duan (1994) suggested that the irst step of ML estimation is to derive the likelihood function for equity as the option on the irm value. The second step is to ind parameters such as the drift and volatility of irm value, that maximizing this function. The irm value itself is extracted by equating the pricing formula to the observed equity prices. Equity, total liabilities, bond prices data and the irm's parameters (irm value, volatility of irm value, and default barrier) are substituted to extended Merton and LS bond pricing formula in order to valuate the corporate bond.These models are implemented to a sample of 24 bond prices in Indonesian corporation during period of 2001-2005, based on criteria of Eom, Helwege and Huang (2004). The equity and bond prices data were obtained from Indonesia Stock Exchange for irms that issued equity and provided regular inancial statement within this period.
