Using Panel VAR and Granger causality, the study finds that market returns positively influence exchange rates. In contrast, the market tends to react negatively to changes in consumer price inflation and foreign portfolio investment. However, the equity market is susceptible to the economic growth (IIP) of BRICS economies.

The study find that futures prices cause spot prices and vice versa and suggests that no profitable arbitrage exists and investor cannot book profit since new information already gets to be discounted by spot and futures prices simultaneously.

The empirical results show that the effect of REM on a firm’s stock returns varies with the forms of REM. Abnormal production costs are positively associated with long-run returns, whereas abnormal cuts in discretionary expenses are negatively associated with long-run returns. These results suggest that investors are not fully aware of the implications of REM and initially undervalue or overvalue the firm based on different REM activities. Further, this study examines the long-run role of the media in the capital market by examining the impact of media coverage on the consequences of IPO firms’ REM practices. The results indicate that the associations between REM and stock returns become weaker if the IPO firm is more visible through the media. Additional analyses show that retail investors are more likely to initially misprice REM activities and be influenced by media information. Compared with media coverage, audit quality or analyst following has a relatively less pronounced effect on the consequences of REM activities. These findings imply that media coverage appears to mitigate the influence of REM on stock returns, facilitating market efficiency after a firm’s IPO in the long run.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":"30 4","pages":"729 - 760"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2023-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47870194","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 paper uses the event study method based on the market and Fama-French (1993) three-factor models. Our results show that GB issuers exhibited significantly positive cumulative abnormal stock returns on the official announcement dates of the COVID-19 outbreak. The positive cumulative abnormal returns are mainly driven by non-financial GB issuers rather than financial GB issuers. The results reflect the attitudes of investors toward GB-issuing companies primarily in the context of the crisis and contribute to the development of green finance policies.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":"30 1","pages":"211 - 230"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48071472","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}

Employing Korean firm data, our preliminary analysis reveals that Korean firms are exposed differently to changes in the KRW/JPY rate than to changes in the KRW/USD rate. Our results show that firms exhibiting significant shifts in exposure from pre- to post-global financial crisis have distinctively different firm attributes including more currency derivatives use and lower firm values, compared to firms exhibiting little such shifts. A further analysis reveals that the lower values of high exposure firms are attributable mainly to the financial risk from foreign currency borrowing, but not to the operating risk resulting from exporting activities. Hence, the currency derivative use by Korean firms hardly helps them mitigate the value loss from heightened capital costs of foreign borrowing following the crisis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":"30 3","pages":"621 - 647"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41630063","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}

Investors are allowed to trade a list of qualified stocks from the stock market on the other side, and when a stock is removed from the list, investors can only sell but cannot buy that stock. We find that the inclusion of stocks is correlated with abnormal returns, implying downward-sloping demand curves for stocks. The effect weakens over time and disappears in about 40 trading days. There are no abnormal returns when stocks are removed from the list. On the other hand, when investors can only sell some stocks, they have a significantly higher propensity to sell. Their trading style becomes more contrarian for such stocks, and they tend to trade in small amounts.

Further, the study aims to develop a model using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). Thereafter, the driving and dependence power of factors was found using matriced impact croises multiplication appliquee a un classement (MICMAC). A group of financial analysts and academic experts having experience in dealing in the Indian securities market were consulted and interpretive structural modelling (ISM) is adopted to develop the contextual relationship among various factors for each dimension of multibagger stocks selection. Further, to identify the driving and the dependence power of factors, the results of the ISM are used as an input to MICMAC analysis. The results of the study indicate the large potential market (C11), visionary leader (C13), unique business model (C6), understanding of the sector (C1), and promoter and management capability (C2) are the dominant factors. MICMAC analysis indicates that driving, dependent and linkage factors are 4, 5, and 4 respectively. The factors obtained for ISM model development and MICMAC analysis are based on the experts’ opinions. As it is a subjective judgment, there are chances of biasness on basis of personal opinions. A questionnaire survey can be conducted to gather viewpoints on these factors from more financial experts and portfolio consultants. The study has been executed in discussion with financial analysts and academic experts having experience in dealing in the securities market. Hence, derived results have practical validity. The securities market is quite volatile in nature and the right choice of multibaggers may prove to be wealth creators for the general public. Investors may look for the derived factors for investing their savings into profitable channels by picking up those stocks which may prove to be multibaggers in near future. The development of a model for the identification of factors affecting the choice of multibaggers in the securities market is the original contribution of the authors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54095,"journal":{"name":"Asia-Pacific Financial Markets","volume":"30 4","pages":"677 - 699"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2022-11-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45339266","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}
