To this aim, this study applies novel quantile-based approaches, namely Quantile autoregression unit root test, Quantile-on-quantile approach, and Quantile Granger-causality test covering the period from 01 January 2020 to 15 September 2020. Main findings of the study are (1) G7 stock return series are stationary for all quantiles of the conditional distributions with minor exceptions meaning that shocks have temporary effects on stock returns of G7 markets. (2) The impact of Twitter-based uncertainty strongly depends on the market condition, whether it is bullish or bearish for all G7 markets. A heterogeneous association exists between variables caused by different market conditions. (3) A bi-directional causal association exists between stock returns-TEU and stock returns-TMU. This result confirms the existence of feedback hypothesis between G7 stock returns and TEU, TMU, respectively. This study provides important policy implications and recommendations for policy makers and investors on the nexus between Twitter-based uncertainties and stock returns.","PeriodicalId":47461,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Finance & Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131868640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The isotropy of cryptocurrency volatility","authors":"Aiman Hairudin, Azhar Mohamad","doi":"10.1002/ijfe.2857","DOIUrl":"10.1002/ijfe.2857","url":null,"abstract":"We examine the fractal volatility and long-range dependence of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and USD Coin by employing the continuous wavelet transform, maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform and rescaled range. Our dataset consists of daily prices spanning from January 2017 through to October 2022, encapsulating pre- and post-epidemic eras. Generally, our findings suggest that Tether presents the least overall volatility throughout the time-frequency spectrum. USD Coin demonstrates ephemeral turbulence, contrary to Tether's maturity in influencing market equilibrium through token issuance and trade responses. In the post-epidemic sample, both stablecoins indicate mean reversion, with USD Coin showing marginally better efficiency. Conversely, investment tokens display persistent clusters due to retail traders and long-term fundamental institutions. Although both tokens illustrate multifractal volatility, Ethereum unveils more essence of self-similarity than Bitcoin. Hence, there is no evidence that Ethereum truly duplicates Bitcoin since policy-related events differ between them, as both return series move incongruously. Conditional dynamics signify that all cryptocurrencies, except Tether, were affected by the pandemic transition of COVID-19 and subsequent macroeconomic news. The unconditional volatility of stablecoins evinces zero-mean errors, antithetical to investment tokens exhibiting annual cycles. The fractal geometry suggests that investment tokens simulate one-dimensional lines, whereas stablecoins mimic two-dimensional planes.","PeriodicalId":47461,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Finance & Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121672027","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We employ a sample of UK non-financial publicly listed firms and our results are of twofold. First, we detect a significant negative relationship between CPC and cash holdings, which is consistent with the expected governance effect of CPC. Second, we find a negative interaction of CPC with cash holdings when investigating cash holdings effect on firm value, suggesting that shareholders consider CPC as an overinvestment in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activity within a strong customer protection framework, such as the UK. Our findings are robust to different econometric estimations and controlling for different explanatory variables. This study offers beneficial perceptions into the notion of sustainability and sustainability standards and their implications on firms financing decisions. Finally, we argue that while this paper investigates the UK context, our results might be applicable to other countries with similar anti-corruption structure as in the UK.","PeriodicalId":47461,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Finance & Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijfe.2851","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123647562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We study this relationship in conjunction to geopolitical risk as a measure of macroeconomic uncertainty. We use daily observations for several bond maturities and CDS premium with reference to the core (France and Germany) versus periphery EMU countries (Portugal, Italy, Ireland Spain, and Greece) for the period 2009 to 2014. To measure global geopolitical risk, we employ the Caldara and Iacoviello (2022) global geopolitics index (GPR). Using alternative econometric approaches, we find adequate evidence of volatility spillovers between the geopolitical risk index and sovereign risk markets mainly during the crisis period (2009–2012) and weaker during the easing of the eurozone debt crisis period (2012–2014). Moreover, based on Granger causality the estimation of the short- term dynamics reveals a significant linkage during the post-crisis period rather than during crisis. During the crisis period, we found significant dynamic responses between GPR and bond yields.","PeriodicalId":47461,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Finance & Economics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ijfe.2852","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136287023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
