The cryptocurrency market exhibits high volatility and significant price variations compared to the stock market, suggesting that price movements may be influenced by additional factors. Identifying and categorizing these factors helps in making precise forecasts about the increase in investors’ asset. Thus, this study aims to investigate the primary elements influencing cryptocurrency’s’ market performance. The qualitative approach included a literature review, sentimental analysis and in-depth interviews with investors. Non-probability sampling techniques were adopted in identifying the prospective respondents for in-depth interviews. Additionally, the bibliometric analysis helped in the collection of appropriate literature for a systematic literature review. A taxonomy was built, combining all codes received with the help of experts. Distinct determinants were identified and categorized as internal and external factors, which were then further subdivided. Internal variables include fear of missing out, money accumulation, flexibility, and understanding of patterns. External factors such as technological progress, community involvement, airdrops/roadmap, news/speculations, and government laws also have a role. Understanding the determinants helps investors and traders gain appropriate knowledge on investments and profit-making, thereby yielding wealth that could provide financial freedom and a better lifestyle. This study is novel because exploring, understanding, and predicting the cryptocurrency market is one of the latest and most widely spoken topics among researchers in the finance domain. Earlier studies have not emphasized empirically the concepts, strategies and factors impacting price fluctuations and investment behavior in the crypto market.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142224535","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 study employs Cross-Sectional Absolute Deviation methodology, applying quantile regression approach, to detect aggregate level herding using a survivorship-bias-free dataset of daily firm level returns from April 2000 to March 2022. The dataset is subdivided into market episodes corresponding to pre-war, bubble, crash, post-crash, pre-COVID crash, COVID bubble and post-COVID crash periods. Exhibiting an evolutionary herding pattern over market episodes, the results depict that herding appears in pre-war period irrespective of the market directions, persisting in bubble episode in upmarket days, which then, turning into negative herding in down market days in crash episode. Subsequently, herding gradually disappears in post-crash episode, reappears with greater intensity in pre-COVID crash episode and disappears in COVID bubble and post-COVID crash episodes. This study attributes such wax and wane nature of herding in financial markets to a survival action, a rational heuristic, in keeping with Adaptive Market Hypothesis. The study is of peculiar importance to investors, policymakers, regulators and researchers, as presence of herding misprices securities and invalidates the existing asset pricing models constructed on the assumptions of investor rationality.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189258","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}

Further, the study deploys bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to estimate the robust efficiency estimate of individual MFIs. Further, the study uses a multi-dimensional approach to examine the trade-off debate between sustainability and outreach. Additionally, the study also ranks the MFIs based on their dual mission. The results suggest that the Indian MFIs are better at handling the financial dimension than the social aspect of MFIs. Moreover, the article claims the absence of a trade-off between the two goals of MFIs in India. Suryoday is the top-performing MFI in terms of financial and social aspects, followed by M-power. Further, the policymakers, top management, and microfinance professionals must redesign the regulatory and operational structure to ensure the maximum social outreach of MFIs without hampering their financial sustainability.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142189259","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}

Since it is evident from the literature that investor risk perceptions affect investors rationally, the study explores the impact of risk perception on mental shortcuts or heuristic decision-making. The authors collected the data from 447 individual investors using a self-administered questionnaire to investigate the proposed phenomenon. After confirming the validity and reliability of the data obtained, we employed structural equation modeling to evaluate the relationship between risk perception and heuristic biases. We used process macro to scrutinize the moderating effect of sex and age in the mentioned constructs. The study demonstrates that risk perception affects three heuristic biases (i.e. anchoring, representativeness, and availability bias). Further, the outcome exhibits that the sex of a person moderates the relationship between risk perception and availability bias. The study could be helpful for individual investors, investment advisors, and policymakers. The investment advisor can gain insights into the different mental shortcuts their customers take to guide them appropriately. Governments and relevant policymakers can gain insights into the roadblocks to rational investment decisions to ensure the correct appraisal of the stock market. The present study fills the necessity to realize the effect of investors’ risk perception on decision-making heuristics and the moderating role of sex and age in the phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744671","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}

This study aims to elucidate the intricate web of interdependence among various financial markets, namely oil Brent, global equity, green investment, Cryptocurrency, and Islamic markets, focusing on the analysis of tail dependence and lead-lag relationships within bullish and bearish contexts. Employing copula and wavelet techniques on data spanning from January 2014 to December 2022, the results indicate distinctive patterns of dependency and interaction among the examined financial markets. Notably, the observed dependency between specific markets does not extend uniformly across all markets, implying a bilateral influence that does not significantly impact the performance of unrelated markets. However, a noteworthy exception arises in the relationship between the Brent and crypto markets, where the influence may propagate to the green market during both bullish and bearish periods. Further analysis reveals that during bullish periods, the strongest dependence between Brent and green markets reaches 38%, contrasting with a 7% dependency during bearish periods. Additionally, a dependency of 25% is observed between global and green markets, consistent across both bullish and bearish conditions. Furthermore, the interaction between Brent and Crypto markets affects the green market by 5% during both bullish and bearish periods. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the dynamics within financial markets and offer valuable insights for investors seeking to manage risks and optimize their investment strategies.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141744670","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}

This paper explores such dynamic interrelations in India, especially whether relationships have significantly changed with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war of 2022. Based on a daily dataset from January 2017 to May 2022, VAR-MGARCH models and dynamic correlations are estimated with prices of gold, equity, and crude oil for spot and futures markets. Findings suggest that for gold, crude oil, and equity in spot and futures segments, there is evidence of significant persistence of volatility and spillover from past shocks. In general, volatility spillover is more pronounced in the spot than in the futures market. Evidence also indicates bi-directional spillovers between markets, but it is more prominent from the equity market to the crude oil and from crude oil to the gold market. However, the most notable finding of the study is that, like the period of the global financial crisis, the dynamic correlation between stock and crude oil markets has substantially increased during the COVID and war periods both in spot and futures markets. Also, during COVID, the property of gold acting as a hedge against stock has weakened.","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141718722","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}
