The international asset pricing models are mostly developed in the case of parity failure (investors of different countries do not agree on the expected returns on securities). In this case, an equilibrium in the in- ternational asset markets may exist, but not in the international good markets....

We use a regime-switching model approach to investigate the dynamic linkages between the exchange rates and stock market returns for the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). The univariate analysis indicates that stock returns

This paper studies the factor of competitive conditions of conventional and Islamic banks operating in the same market in the MENA region. We determine the level of competitiveness between the two types of banks by using the PR-H statistic of Panzar and Ross (1987) and the Lerner index. Our...

In all the defensive measures against takeover bids, those based on rules limiting voting rights are generally cited as the most effective. Ironically, the supposed efficacy seems to have never been tested or modeled. This is precisely the subject of our article that focuses in terms of...

L’évaluation du prix des actifs est un problème récurrent en économie. Cette question se pose dans le domaine de l’immobilier comme dans d’autres domaines. Après une très forte phase de croissance, le marché immobilier américain a été touché à partir du mois de juin 2007 par...

This paper studies the rules that limit voting rights as a defensive measure against hostile takeovers. We consider atomistic shareholders and a small group of united minority shareholders, the hard core, that wants to block any hostile takeovers. This group constructs a device based on a...

This study applies bootstrap panel causality, proposed by Kónya (2006), to investigate causal link between political uncertainty and stock price for seven OECD countries over the monthly period of 2001.01 to 2013.04. This modeling approach allows us to examine both the cross-sectional...

This article investigates the dynamics of regional financial integration and its determinants in an international setting. We test a conditional version of the international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) accounting for the deviations from purchasing power parity (PPP) as well as temporal...

In this paper, we investigate whether or not nominal devaluation leads to real devaluation in Laos by using the ARDL bounds testing and the Granger causality test in a VECM framework. Our empirical evidence shows that nominal devaluation Granger causes real devaluation in short run and long run....

This paper attempts to evaluate the time-varying integration of Australian stock market in ASEAN-5 region (ASEAN + Australia, Korea, China, India and Japan) by using a conditional version of the international capital asset pricing model (ICAPM) allowing for dynamic changes in the degree of...
