This paper constructs a robust optimization framework of the uncertain worst-case return. The model defines an adjustable discrete uncertainty set which controls the conservatism of the optimal asset allocation. Without prior assumptions on the data generating process, the model also develops an...

The paper analyses the time-varying conditional correlations between stock markets and oil

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...

The public debt crisis threatening the survival of the euro area. This crisis could appear as a byproduct of the global financial crisis. In fact, it refers to structural problems specific to Europe and the question of optimal currency area which has been in place since 1999. The sovereign debt...

This paper explores the relationship between economic indicators and inward foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Central and Eastern Europe countries. We estimate a gravity model of FDI for ten countries covering the period 1993- 2010, employing the Seemingly Unrelated Regressions Method. The...

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...

The aim of this paper is to understand and analyze the evolutions of the spin-off process in French large companies based on its practice in ten of them. Through this work, we propose a first modelling of this practice. Spin-off is for us a multiform phenomenon which relates to three types of...

This paper shows the usefulness and relevance of the multivariate fractional cointegration in exploring the dynamic

The aim of this paper is to study the degree of interdependence between oil price and stock market index into two groups of countries: oil-importer countries and exporter ones. To this end, we propose a new empirical methodology allowing a time-varying dynamic correlation measure between the...
