However, during this year, cash flow from investors in established markets to emerging markets has been of immense magnitude. While many companies, in emerging markets, reported very high risk-adjusted rates of return, many others reported so low rates during this period. This study aims to establish a unique profile of risk-return characteristics of the companies in emerging markets that have constantly reported the highest risk-adjusted returns to total capital during the pandemic. The statistical results of our study suggest that such unique profile can be used as a tool to forecast which companies, in such markets and during such disturbances in the future, will maintain high returns to capital providing an invaluable tool for investors, investment counselors and financial researchers tasked to determine firm's intrinsic value in such an environment.","PeriodicalId":43552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Business Research","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83194426","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 the existence of long-run equilibrium relationship between FPI and exchange rate (EXR), inflation (INF), interest rate (INT), real GDP, and Tax (TXR). Short-run errors are adjusted at a speed of 77.87% per annum, in the long-run. Causality is found to jointly-flow from the explanatory variables to FPI inflows. In all the model estimations - autoregressive, short- and long-runs, exchange rate exerted negative and significant effect on FPIR. Inflation and tax significantly affected FPI inflows to Nigeria. Growth in real GDP and interest rate positively influenced FPIR, but not significantly. The results indicate that the major determinants of FPI inflows are exchange rates, inflation, and tax.","PeriodicalId":43552,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied Economics and Business Research","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2022-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89390327","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}
