This result suggests that funds with lower return volatility possess better both stock picking and trading skill. In addition, funds with higher alpha or higher minimum churn rate have better fund performance and better portfolio holdings performance, but worse trading portfolio performance.

It further explores the moderating effect of Islamic banking operations on such relationships. The effects of banking regulatory developments on banking efficiency are also examined through a quasi-natural experiment approach. Using 533 banking unit observations of banks for FY 2002/2003 to 2017/2018 period, and applying the data envelopment analysis (DEA) method for banking efficiency and Tobit regression, the findings document that the banking efficiency of the state-owned conventional banks outperforms privately-owned domestic banks, as well as conventional domestically owned banks (state-owned and privately-owned banks) outperforms the foreign-owned banks. Again, the banking efficiency outperformance of the conventional banking operation over the Islamic banking operation is found. However, the outperformance of conventional state-owned banks diminishes with the moderation of Islamic banking operations. Additionally, the quasi-natural experiment with difference-in-difference (DID) regression result reveals that the banking efficiency of Islamic banks and conventional state-owned banks has improved during the post-regulatory period and reduced the efficiency gap between them (in favor of conventional banks). However, the banking efficiency of conventional state-owned banks offering Islamic banking services has diminished in the post-regulatory period. These findings remain robust during the global financial crisis (GFC) and non-GFC periods. Overall, the results add a new dimension to the banking efficiency and regulatory development research for the policymakers and regulators in the financial services sector.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47962,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 101882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141594947","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}

Next, I test for Granger causality from monetary aggregates to several measures of real activity. Then, I estimate a more comprehensive VAR consisting of several real and nominal variables. Consistent with previous research, Divisia aggregates outperform their simple-sum counterparts. While the narrower aggregates exhibit a close relationship with output and prices in the earlier years of the sample, the broader aggregates outperform the narrow aggregates over the entire period. This reflects an evolution of the monetary system in which assets included in the broad aggregates have become increasingly important. Finally, I use counterfactual forecasts to find that broad Divisia money played an important role in explaining the severity of the Great Recession and the high inflation of 2021 and 2022.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":47962,"journal":{"name":"Quarterly Review of Economics and Finance","volume":"97 ","pages":"Article 101870"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141393032","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}

Represented by the spread between long-and short-term ERPs, the term structure strongly varies over time exhibiting a dominant downward sloping. Both expected variances and risk prices are highly at play in determining the ERPs term structure, the effects of restraints on borrowing and of international stock market contagion completing the explanation.
