Sustainable Investing Based on Momentum Strategies in Emerging Stock Markets: A Case Study for Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of India
This research article examines the profitability on the momentum portfolios in the case of the emerging stock market of India, i.e. Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Sustainable investing integrates environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics into investment decisions. Risk management is one of the most significant ranking factors determining the adoption of corporate strategies based on sustainable investing. A sustainable stock market provides a transparent and effective solution to inherent challenges related to environmental, social, economic and corporate governance issues. The theoretical and empirical analysis conducted in this research article reveals the status of BSE of India in this regard. A company's sustainable market orientation is very important for future developments. The practical significance of this research paper is to investigate the profitability of momentum strategies in Bombay Stock Exchange of India, which is an emergent market. Moreover, the presence of short term momentum effect on Indian stock market is basically an anomaly caused by behavioral and risk-based portfolio construction factors. On the other hand, momentum strategies is a reliable alternative with strong empirical evidence to both fundamental approaches of classical finance, namely efficient market hypothesis (EMH) and behavioral finance paradigm.JEL Codes - C22; G11; G17; O16; Q0
Investigating abnormal volatility transmission patterns between emerging and developed stock markets: a case study
The main aim of this paper is to investigate volatility spillover effects, the impact of past volatility on present market movements, the reaction to positive and negative news, among selected financial markets. The sample stock markets are geographically dispersed on different continents, respectively North America, Europe and Asia. We also investigate whether selected emerging stock markets capture the volatility patterns of developed stock markets located in the same region. The empirical analysis is focused on seven developed stock market indices, i.e. IBEX35 (Spain), DJIA (USA), FTSE100 (UK), TSX Composite (Canada), NIKKEI225 (Japan), DAX (Germany), CAC40 (France) and five emerging stock market indices, i.e. BET (Romania), WIG20 (Poland), BSE (India), SSE Composite (China) and BUX (Hungary) from January 2000 to June 2018. The econometric framework includes symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models i.e. EGARCH and GJR which are performed in order to capture asymmetric volatility clustering, interdependence, correlations, financial integration and leptokurtosis. Symmetric and asymmetric GARCH models revealed that all selected financial markets are highly volatile, including the presence of leverage effect. The stock markets in Hungary, USA, Germany, India and Canada exhibit high positive volatility after global financial crisis
Do European, Middle-East and Asian Stock Markets Impact on Indian Stock Market? A Case Study Based on NIFTY Stock Index Forecasting
This paper estimates NIFTY index from Indian stock market by considering a cluster of MSCI European, Middle East and Asian stock market indices. In the forecasting process, we obtain group of independent variables to test its relative impact over dependent variable (NIFTY) considering a sample size of daily observations from January 2000 to December 2021 abstracted from Bloomberg. We run OLS regression, Quantile estimations with additional parameter of VIF and BKW. We found significant impact association with China (Asian index) and Saudi Arabia (Middle East index) during the forecasting process compared to rest of sample indices that exceed unexpectedly out of VIF limits. Further, we recorded strong association of independent variables despite of statistical significance (<1%) in OLS regression estimation
Modelling the effect of transformational leadership on entrepreneurial orientation in academic department: the mediating role of faculty members’ speaking up
The creation of an entrepreneurship university involves the promotion
and institutionalisation of the orientation towards entrepreneurship
of all parts of the university, especially the scientific
departments, which is affected by several factors. Therefore, our
research investigates the effect of transformational leadership
style of academic departments’ heads on entrepreneurial orientation
of these departments mediated by speaking up behaviour of
faculty members. Data were collected from 217 faculty members
of 50 academic departments in universities of Qom city and provided
support for the model. The findings demonstrated a positive
and significant relationship between transformational
leadership and speaking up, between speaking up and entrepreneurial
orientation, and between transformational leadership and
entrepreneurial orientation. Furthermore, speaking up mediates
the relation between transformation leadership style and entrepreneurial
orientation. These findings highlight the catalyst role of
speaking up, leveraging transformational leadership as antecedents
of entrepreneurial orientation in academic departments.
These findings are valuable inputs for managers in university, and
policy makers in a higher education sector. Eventually, the theoretical
and practical inferences of this research are discussed
Advanced empirical research based on structural equation modeling (SEM) regarding the impact of tax revenue on GDP dynamics at EU-28 level
The main objective of this empirical study is to investigate the impact of tax revenue on GDP dynamics at EU-28 level based on structural equation modeling (SEM). We applied structural equation modeling (SEM) which represents a multivariate statistical analysis technique used especially for analyzing structural relationships between measured variables and latent structures. Selected taxes are the following: environmental taxes, indirect taxes, social contributions, taxes on capital, taxes on labour, taxes on property, and direct taxes. The sample period includes a long time horizon during 2005-2017 for each member states of EU-28. Our empirical findings revealed the level of taxation exhibits an increased influence on GDP dynamics in case of EU-28 member states.JEL Codes - C3; E62; O47; O5
Measuring the impact of governance quality on stock market performance in developed countries
The aim of this article is to examine the relationship between
stock market performance and country level governance indicators.
A good quality of governance in a country ensures effective
implementation of laws which can protect the investor and
improve stock market performance and vice versa. Our study utilises
annual stock returns and country level governance indicators
for 25 developed countries from 1996 to 2018. The fixed effect
estimation suggests that stock market performance and governance
indicators share a positive relationship. Our findings suggest
that high quality of governance is associated with higher returns
on stock. Institutional quality is a preconditioned for financial
developed that set the direction of change to reduce transaction
costs and agency costs and make profitable projects available to
firms that subsequently leads to higher demand for equity financing.
These findings have significant implications for stock market
policymakers and standard asset pricing models that only include
market risk factors to predict future expected stock return
The impact of COVID-19 pandemic on air transport: the case of Virgin Australia airlines
This research study scrutinized the financial signs that were overlooked
or were failed to be controlled by Virgin Australia from 2012
through 2019. Empirical research was done based on secondary data
retrieved from the annual reports of the company. The annual
reports of the company were analyzed in a multi-dimensional manner
using financial analysis tools and instruments. The finds of this
research demonstrate that it was not merely the Covid-19 pandemic,
which pushed the world’s oldest airlines into bankruptcy but there
existed numerous critical issues within the company. Virgin
Australia’s financial statements revealed fifteen alarming indicators
which were overlooked by the company. Right from operating revenue,
operating expenses, profit margins, to current and liquid ratio
all eleven indicators were hugely adverse since last eight years continuously.
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic forced lockdown
across nations and the aviation industry was the worst hit amid the
global turmoil. This proved fatal for Australia’s second-largest carrier
which was already ailing from financial distress for the last several
years and thus the company had to file bankruptcy
