This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, grade: 1.0, Berlin School of Economics, language: English, abstract: The objective of this paper is to examine whether the unanticipated change of specific macroeconomic variables influences the US stock market represented by the S&P 500 using monthly data from 1986 to 2007. Thereby, the performance of the arbitrage pricing theory of Ross (cp. Ross, S., 1976) shall be studied. To explain the behavior of the US stock market return the paper contains the five predefined variables consumer price index (CPI), industrial production index (IPT), money stock M1 (M1), total consumer credit outstanding (TCC) and the term structure of interest rates (Term) which are approximately similar to those variables used by Ross (cp. Chen N. F. et al., 1986, pp. 383-403). Applying the OLS method, it was found that CPI, IPT and Term are negatively related to the US stock return. It was also detected that M1 affects the stock market lagging 8 months and 12 months. However, the test statistics showed that TCC has rather no impact on the US stock market return. To ensure that the ultimate results are not spurious, care will be taken in regards to autocorrelation, multicollinearity, serial correlation as well as heteroskedasticity.

This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to the ever-increasing importance of the financial markets, particularly the stock markets, in the economic development, especially of capital seeking developing nations, a plethora of studies have been conducted to examine the factors determining and influencing the stock market variables such as stock returns, market capitalisation, and turnover, amongst others. The present study examines the impact and role of macroeconomic variables on the stock market performance of an important developing country, viz., India. This relationship is examined from the framework of three main research objectives of investigating the relationship between macroeconomic variables and Indian stock market performance; modelling the crash of Indian stock market during the global financial crisis of 2007 - 2009 using the domestic and international macroeconomic variables, and predicting the movements in stock market variables using macroeconomic variables.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book contributes to the growing literature pertaining to empirical and policy issues in international trade, foreign capital flows and issues in finance, implications for India and emerging economies related to trade and development interface, and analysis of sector level growth and development in India. Further, the focus is on the policy aspects of these themes and their role in fostering economic development in the context of India and other emerging market economies. The discourse focuses mainly on empirical work and econometric details. The relevant issues are investigated using state of the art techniques such as gravity models, panel co-integration, generalized hyperbolic distributions, SEM, FMOLS and Probit models. In addition, detailed literature survey, discussions on data availability, issues related to statistical estimation techniques and a theoretical background, ensure that each chapter significantly contributes to the ever-growing literature on international trade and capital flows. The readers shall find an engaging dialogue on the crucial role played by policy and the trade-capital flows-growth experience of emerging economies. The book is relevant for those who are interested in contemporary issues in trade, growth and finance as well as for students of advanced econometrics who may benefit from the analytical and econometric exposition. The empirical evidences provided here could serve as ready reference for academicians, researchers and policy makers, particularly in emerging economies facing similar challenges.

Book excerpt: The large number of asset pricing models and empirical studies of stock returns are evidence of the desire to understand the return generating process of financial assets in general and for stocks in particular. One focus of the research in this area has been on multi-factor asset pricing models [Chen et al. (1986), Fama/French (1992)]. These models are based on the assumption that stock returns are generated by a limited number of economic variables such as company, industry or macroeconomic factors.The objective of this study is to analyze the importance of various economic factors in explaining the return structure for stocks in Germany and to investigate whether the impact of these factors is time varying. This is important, because in most studies of asset pricing models it is assumed that the parameters are non time varying. In particular, we investigate the time variability of the explanatory power and the beta coefficients in a multi-factor framework. For this we employ a rolling estimation procedure that allows us to analyze the time variability of the model coefficients.In the empirical analysis we use monthly data of four macroeconomic variables and the market index to explain the returns of four German industry indices for the period from 1974 to 2000. In contrast to most studies which exclude banks from their empirical analysis we use three industrial indices and a bank index. The economic factors included in our model are term spreads, interest rates, exchange rates and the ifo business index as well as the market index. The empirical results confirm that the factors used in our empirical analysis seem well suited to explain the stock returns especially for banks. Moreover, it is evident that the explanatory power and the beta coefficients are time varying.

This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The impact of macroeconomic variables on stock returns has been the subject of increased theoretical and empirical investigation in literature. This book aims to complement the literature by extending this presumed relationship between stock returns and a set of pre-determined domestic and global macroeconomic variables to the emerging stock markets of Bangladesh and India. Evidence for this relationship is drawn in this study through the research methods of Vector Autoregression and by applying empirical tests like Johansen cointegration and Vector Error Correction Models. Empirical findings of this research will provide further insights into understanding the underlying macroeconomic factors that can significantly impact the stock returns of selected stock markets of both Bangladesh and India. This study can also assist various academicians, researchers, policy makers and particularly the governments of these two developing countries to consider the influence of macroeconomic factors when regulating their stock markets, its returns and its policies.

Book excerpt: We study the forecasting power of financial variables for macroeconomic variables for 62 countries between 1980 and 2013. We find that financial variables such as credit growth, stock prices and house prices have considerable predictive power for macroeconomic variables at one to four quarters horizons. A forecasting model with financial variables outperforms the World Economic Outlook (WEO) forecasts in up to 85 percent of our sample countries at the four quarters horizon. We also find that cross-country panel models produce more accurate out-of-sample forecasts than individual country models.

This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research often highlights the importance of financial markets as well as financial system development. However, the current literature in this field still fails to adequately explain the relationship between financial market and macroeconomic development. Post-Keynesian Empirical Research and the Debate on Financial Market Development integrates the concept of financial intermediaries with Post-Keynesian macroeconomic modeling to discuss the relationship between financial markets and systems and macroeconomic development. Discussing key macroeconomic variables such as investment, savings, and productivity growth, this timely resource is essential for students, academicians, as well as finance and economics professionals interested in uncovering the latest research in this field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates the long run and short run relationships between Saudi stock market returns and eight macroeconomic variables. We investigate the ability of these variables to predict the level and volatility of Saudi stock market returns. A wide range of Vector autoregression (VAR) and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models estimated and interpreted. A Johansen-Juselius cointegration test indicates a positive long run relationship between the Saudi stock price index and the M2 money supply, bank credit, and the price of oil, and a negative long run relationship with the M1 money supply, the short term interest rate, inflation, and the U.S. stock market. An estimated vector error correction model (VECM) suggests significant unidirectional short run causal relationships between Saudi stock market returns and the money supply and inflation. The VECM also finds a significant long run causal relationship among the macroeconomic variables in the system. The estimated speed of adjustment indicates that the Saudi stock market converges to the equilibrium within half a year. Granger causality tests show no causal relationship between Saudi stock market returns and the exchange rate. Impulse response function analysis shows no significant relationship between Saudi stock market returns and the macroeconomic variables. Forecast error variance decompositions suggest that 89% of the variation in Saudi stock market returns is attributable to its own shock, which implies that Saudi stock market returns are largely independent of the macroeconomic variables in the system. Finally, a GARCH-X model indicates a significant relationship between volatility of Saudi stock returns and short run movements of macroeconomic variables. Implications of this study include the following. (i) Prediction of stock market returns becomes more difficult as the volatility of the macroeconomic variables increases in the short run. (ii) Investors should look at the systematic risks revealed by these macroeconomic variables when structuring their portfolios and diversification strategies. (iii) Policymakers should seek to minimize macroeconomic fluctuations considering the effect of macroeconomic variables changes on the stock market when formulating economic policy.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investigations of relationship between macro-economic factors and performance of stock markets at many emerging economies including that of Sri Lanka are relatively limited on one hand and required to be repeated as the underlying economic settings of such economies have rapidly changed over the years. Post war economic context and subsequent macro-economic revitalizations in Sri Lanka influenced the performance of capital market of Sri Lanka and hence the investigations on 'how does and at what extent the Sri Lankan stock market responds to such macroeconomic developments?' is an important empirical question. This study thus investigates the relationships between the All share price index of Colombo stock exchange and five macroeconomic variables, namely, Gross domestic product (GDP), Inflation proxied by wholesale price index(WPI) , Interest rate (IR), Balance of payment (BP) and Exchange rate (ER) over the period from 1980 to 2012. Ordinary Least Square (OLS) is used to estimate the parameters of the regression model, with the application of linear, linear-log, log-log and log-linear data transformation for choosing the appropriate model fitting the data. The serial correlation problem was tested using Durbin-Watson statistics. In this study, Durbin-Watson statistics of the log-log model, which had the highest R2 of 82%, was 1.88 confirming that there was no serial correlation issue. The analysis reveals that macroeconomic variables and the stock market index (All share price index) in Sri Lanka are significantly related. It is observed that the stock market index significantly positively relates to GDP, ER and IR while it negatively relates to inflation proxied by wholesale price index of Sri Lanka. The Balance of payment is found to be insignificant in determining the stock market performance in Sri Lanka.

Book excerpt: The increasing importance of Stock markets around the world has recently opened a new avenue of research into the relationships between Stock Market and Macroeconomic Variables. It is now a highly debatable area that stock market contributes to economic growth or the other way economic growth contributes to stock market. Researchers continuously make efforts on defining the relationship of stock market and macroeconomic variables. It has now become more difficult to define the relationships between them in the context of increased scarcity of resources, bilateral and multilateral free trade agreements, economic crises, rapidly changing political scenarios and high uncertainty and risks due to world wide terrorist activities. This book provides an insight into the stock market of Pakistan with special focus on macroeconomic variables like inflation, GDP etc effecting the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE).

This book was released on 2007 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper investigates whether current and future domestic and international macroeconomic variables can explain long and short run stock returns in four quot;newquot; European countries (Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary). quot;Oldquot; western European countries (U.K., France, Italy and Germany) are included in the empirical analysis, whilst USA is considered as a quot;foreign global influencequot;. Using the present value model of stock prices and a complete range of cointegration and causality tests, it is found that quot;newquot; European stock markets are not perfectly integrated with foreign financial markets, while domestic economic activity and the German factor are more influential on these stock markets than the American global factor.
