The Granger-causality is computed to determine the...

This study investigates the dynamic response of the change in short interest ratio in the equity market (SIR) to the change in aggregate Tobin's q ratio (∆TBQ). Looking at the quarterly data from 1951Q4 to 2012Q4, the VAR results show that SIR drops following the shock to ∆TBQ after one...

This study examines the dynamic response of S&P 500 dividend yield (DY) and S&P 500 price-to-earnings ratio (PE) to corporate profit growth (CP) shock. Using the VAR model to analyze quarterly data from 1951Q4 to 2012Q4, the results show that both DY and PE significantly drop immediately...

This study examines the relative importance of percentage change in price-to-earnings ratio (PE), percentage change in dividend yield (DY) and change in aggregate Tobin's q ratio (∆TBQ) in forecasting returns on the S&P 500 (SP). The results from the variance decomposition analysis of...

This study examines how the percentage change in S&P 500 dividend yield (DY) dynamically responds to shock to the change in aggregate Tobin's q ratio (∆TBQ). The results from the VAR analysis of quarterly data from 1951Q4 to 2012Q4 show that DY significantly declines immediately following the...

This study investigates the dynamic effect of the change in aggregate Tobin's q ratio (TBQ) on the percentage change in the S&P 500 price-to-earnings ratio (PE). Based on the analysis of the quarterly market level data from 1951Q4 to 2012Q4, the results show that PE significantly jumps...

This study is set up to investigate how financial stress dynamically affects commercial bank loan delinquency (CBLD) rate. Using quarterly data from 1994Q1 to 2012Q4, the results show that CBLD rate immediately rises following financial stress shock; however, it significantly drops after 3...

This study examines the reaction of commercial bank sector to loan (written by all commercial banks) delinquency rate shock. Using quarterly data from 1985Q1 to 2012Q4, the results show that returns on the commercial bank sector significantly drop immediately following the spike in loan...
