In this paper the author compared 13stock exchange indexes of American, British and German markets and determined their impact on Polish Wig and WIG20 indexes. The analysis proved that the British FTSE100 and FTSE250 as well as the German DAX had the biggest influence on the Warsaw indexes. The...

This paper empirically analyzes the effect of the inclusion of German corporations in the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Index (DJSI STOXX) and the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) on stock performance. In order to receive robust estimation results, we apply an event study...

The practice of periodically reconstituting equity indices suggests that changes to the composition of an index can impact the performance of firms whose stocks are added to or dropped from the index. This paper reviews and provides a comprehensive assessment of the academic literature on how...
