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

Business intelligence appraisal based on customer behaviour profile by using hobby based opinion mining in India: a case study

This research study contributes towards understanding the customer’s behaviour dynamics. In business analysis, it is very important not to ignore the fact that the interaction between human beings implicitly includes an emotional dimension. The research methodology includes the following: (1) customer purchase pattern prediction methods based on correlation; (2) augmentation of data set by using genetic algorithms; and (3) multiple regression models. The analysis indicates how the hobby of a customer is directly related to the purchase patterns and satisfaction level. We applied business intelligence (BI) techniques and concluded that, by using multiple regression method is possible to evaluate the level of customer satisfaction up to the upper limit of security of about 90%. BI tools could be used to employ significant achievements in specific fields based on open innovations. This paper aims at providing further practical guidance in this innovative research field by using a mix of interdisciplinary methods and techniques
