This was accompanied by a structural change toward more reliance on foreign debt. In the frame of these changes, the paper employs a VECM model to test the Egyptian banking sector for the “Lazy Bank“ hypothesis. The research extends the conventional crowding effect analysis to include households borrowing. The main conclusion is that government and households borrowing from the domestic banks in Egypt led to over one-to-one crowding out of private business credit.","PeriodicalId":42943,"journal":{"name":"Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45428456","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}

Both the models provide the confirmatory results regarding short as well as long-run relationships for all the BRICS economies excluding South Africa. Also, the variables have been found to be causally related with each other during the sample period.

Findings prove that the persistence of the earning is high, and the persistence of cash flows is higher than the persistence of accruals. We find that accruals are negative predictors and cash flows are positive predictors for stock returns. In addition, simultaneously, we conclude that the discount rates and the change in the accruals and cash flows act together.","PeriodicalId":42943,"journal":{"name":"Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45053131","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 results reveal that firms that relied heavily on short-term borrowing before the crisis period have responded to the crisis by reducing short-term borrowing and increasing internal cash. However, investment levels and the use and supply of trade credit have not been changed during the crisis. The results also show that the substitution into internal cash is significantly higher for small firms than for large firms.","PeriodicalId":42943,"journal":{"name":"Macroeconomics and Finance in Emerging Market Economies","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2021-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45200463","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}
