We examine the nexus between real foreign exchange rates and international portfolio flows using monthly data for the period 1997:1 to 2009:12 for Egypt, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa. We analyze the full sample period and two sub-periods, distinguished by the relative volume and volatility...

Although a lot of empirical research has studied the relationship between changes in oil prices and economic activity, it is surprising that little research has been conducted on the relationship between oil price shocks and the large Newly Industrialized Economies (NIEs). Therefore, this paper...

We explain the size of international reserve depletion during the global crisis, where only about half of the EMs drew down their reserves as part of the adjustment mechanism. Countries that internalized their large exposure to trade shocks before the crisis, used their IR as a buffer stock in...

This study examines the causal relationship between the current account deficit and government budget deficit for eleven OECD countries by employing the panel Granger causality analysis. The econometric methodology used in this paper allows us to untangle the causal nexus between the current...

We employ a panel causality approach in order to examine whether financial liberalization affects the magnitude of capital flight, which measures unrecorded accumulation of foreign assets by the private sector. Our data from 21 emerging market economies for the period between 1980 and 2004 show...

This paper investigates the trading activities of two distinct classes of shareholders, namely, the Chinese domestic investors and the foreign investors in the segmented Chinese A-share and B-share markets, respectively. Based on the results of our event study, we document prominent volatility...

This paper examines the effect of order imbalance on realized volatility in the Australian stock market for the period between August 2007 and May 2016. To analyse this asymmetric relationship, we decompose order imbalance into buyer- and seller-initiated trades and capture good and bad...

The usefulness of technical analyses has never reached a consensus. Unlike most literature studying stock price behaviors surrounding the presence of technical trading signals, this paper examines the heterogeneity in order submission behaviors of investors in the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Our...

We investigate possible reasons for voluntary delistings by U.S. firms from the Tokyo Stock Exchange from 1982 to 2005. We find that the small shareholder base, as measured by low turnover, for U.S. stocks in Japan helps to explain the voluntary foreign delistings. This finding is consistent,...

The aim of this study is to analyze the potential risk premium inherent in the uncovered interest parity (UIP) condition. The component GARCH-in-mean model is used to measure the time-varying risk premium in UIP and separates the permanent and transitory risks. The results show that the risk...
