In this paper, the copula theory is used to describe the dependence structure between variables, while the information theory provides the tools necessary to measure the uncertainty associated with these variables. What both theories have in common is copula entropy, which is strictly related to...

This study investigates the effects of dividend announcements on stock prices and trading volume in the Austrian stock market. Abnormal returns are established as the difference between actual returns and expected returns generated by the Market Model. We use the model of expected dividends such...

This study provides empirical evidence of the joint dynamics between stock returns and trading volume using stock data of DAX companies. Contemporaneous as well as dynamic interactions are investigated for a period from January 1994 to December 2005 on a daily basis. Our results suggest that...

This paper examines the nexus between political instability and economic growth in 10 CEE countries in transition in the period 1990-2009. Our results support the contention that political instability defined as a propensity for government change had a negative impact on growth. On the other...

Performance assessment in the presence of undesirable outputs, such as pollutant emissions, is usually modelled within the framework of data envelopment analysis (DEA). In this paper we propose a new approach to measuring eco-efficiency in generalized input-output (gIO) models which may be used...

This paper examines the nexus between political instability and economic growth in 10 CEE countries in transition in the period 1990-2009. Our results support the contention that political instability defined as a propensity for government change had a negative impact on growth. On the other...
