Is Bucharest Stock Exchange under the Influence of the Five Traded Financial Investment Companies?

Abstract

Cilj ovoga rada je odrediti je li djelovanje burze u Bukureštu pod utjecajem pet financijskih investicijskih tvrtki (naziv im je ‘Societati de Investitii Financiare’ ili SIF-ovi) čijim se dionicama na ovoj burzi trguje. Te su tvrtke uvedene u kotaciju burze u Bukureštu u studenom 1999. godine, a od studenoga 2000. imaju I svoj indeks, BET-Fi. Izravna promatranja u razdoblju kotacije spomenutih tvrtki ukazuju na to da bi transakcije u financijskim investicijskim tvrtkama mogle imati značajan utjecaj na rumunjsko tržište kapitala, odnosno, njegove aktivnosti. U radu se analiziraju različite serije podataka pomoću regresijske analize, te Grangerov test kauzalnosti kako bi se potvrdila ili odbacila hipoteza formulirana u naslovu.The present paper will try to determine if Bucharest Stock Exchange activity is under the influence of the five traded Financial Investment Companies (called also ‘Societati de Investitii Financiare’ or SIFs). The Financial Investment Companies were introduced at Bucharest Stock Exchange listing in November 1999 and since November 2000 they have a dedicated index, BET-Fi. The direct observations made over the listing period of above mentioned companies suggested the idea that the transactions in Financial Investment Companies might have an important impact on Romanian capital market activity. Inside the current paper, authors will analyze different series of data using regression analysis and Granger-causality tests in order to confirm or reject the hypothesis formulated in the title
