This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using monthly data of foreign flows on Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE), the thesis finds that in contrast to most of the available theory and repeated previous findings on other markets, foreign investors act in a contrarian manner with respect to past local returns in ISE, however only in rising markets. The findings do not support the price pressure hypothesis; instead the price impact is permanent supporting the base-broadening and information hypotheses. The analysis on individual stocks suggests no evidence of informed trading, suggesting that, foreigners have no particular advantage in terms of domestic information in the ISE. Employing daily trading data from five emerging stock markets, namely the Jakarta Stock Exchange, Korea Stock Exchange (KOSPI), Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), Taiwan Stock Exchange, and the Kosdaq Stock Market, this thesis documents that that in four out of five markets global risk appetite affects equity flows to emerging markets. Furthermore, foreigners? trading with respect to local return is found to be different across high and low risk appetite levels in Indonesia, Kosdaq and the Kospi markets. Their trading with respect to local return is also found to be different across high and low states of the economy in KOSPI and SET. Finally, using a daily dataset from the Stock Exchange of Thailand, this thesis investigates whether foreigners react differently on the announcement of macroeconomic news, compared to local investors. It also addresses some serious econometric issues that have affected other papers in this area. Under this improved model, many reactions turn out not to be significant, particularly since the 1997-8 crisis. However, on hearing inflation news, foreigners do react in the opposite way to local individual investors. They will therefore tend to reduce any locally-induced volatility.
Download or read book Investment Strategies in Emerging Markets written by Saul Estrin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Foreign investment has surged across emerging markets. This unique comparative study presents the first systematic evidence on the entry mode, business environment and their interrelationships in emerging markets. It integrates strategic management and economic policy analysis, and provides new insights for both business managers and government policymakers. The book investigates foreign direct investment (FDI) strategies in four important emerging economies: Egypt, India, South Africa and Vietnam. These countries liberalized their economies in the 1990s with the intention of attracting greater FDI inflows. This book assesses whether they have been successful in achieving this goal. The authors adopt a comparative perspective, and use a large enterprise survey plus three individual case studies in each country. They investigate the strategies of foreign direct investors, focusing on the relationship between the investment climate, the mode of entry (acquisition, greenfield or joint venture), company performance, and spillovers to the host economy. The book outlines how the interactions between international businesses and the local policy environment influence the entry strategies of firms. Academics and researchers with an interest in international business, emerging markets, economic development and strategic management will find this book informative and insightful.

This book was released on 2022-07-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors and researchers have been paying more attention to the emerging stock markets performance. Analysing stock market behaviour and stock market efficiency is important for investors because it allows the investors to understand the stock market behaviour better and consequently make more sensible choices. The investors can make above average profits through investments in different markets by taking advantage of any abnormalities when they occur. In the context of globalization and increasing opportunities to the investors to invest abroad, it is essential for the international portfolio investors from India to understand the level of interdependence among the major stock markets in the world and its impact on the Indian stock market.Efficiency in the domestic stock market has important implications for issuers of equity and portfolio investors. Furthermore, an efficient stock market can attract foreign portfolio investment, support domestic savings and improve the mobility of capital and financial resources. Market efficiency has an important bearing on fund managers and investment bankers and more specifically the investors who are seeking to diversify their portfolio internationally. With increased movement of investment across international boundaries due to the integration of world economies, understanding of global stock market efficiency is also gaining greater becoming more important.It is difficult for the foreign institutional investors to identify profitable markets during negative global cues. Framing an investment policy is difficult by considering native market behaviour alone. Stock market operations are dynamic in nature. newline.
Download or read book Cracking the Emerging Markets Enigma written by G. Andrew Karolyi and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forward-thinking investors are constantly looking for the next BRIC-what foreign market is on the brink of expansive growth? Will these investments payoff, or are the potential risks too great? Investing in these emerging markets requires a careful analysis of potential risks and benefits which vary greatly from country to country and even from day to day. In Cracking the Emerging Markets Enigma, emerging markets expert Andrew Karolyi outlines a practical strategy for evaluating the opportunities and-more importantly-the risks of investing in emerging markets. Karolyi's proposed system evaluates multiple dimensions of the potential risks faced by prospective investors. These categories of risk reflect the uneven quality or fragility of the various institutions designed to assure integrity in capital markets-political stability, corporate opacity, limits placed on foreign investors, and more. By distilling these analyses into a numerical scoring system, Karolyi has devised a way to assess with ease emerging markets by different dimensions of risk and across all dimensions together. This novel assessment framework already has been tested in the market to great success. Researchers, students, firms, and both seasoned and novice investors are poised to gain a clear understanding of how to evaluate potential investments in emerging markets to maximize profits.
Download or read book The Dynamics of Emerging Stock Markets written by Mohamed El Hedi Arouri and published by Physica. This book was released on 2010-02-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging markets have received a particular attention of academic researchers and practitioners since they decided to open their domestic capital markets to foreign participants about three decades ago. At the same time, we remark that theoretical and empirical research in emerging stock markets has been particularly challenged by their fast changes in nature and size under the effects of financial liberalization and reforms. This evolving feature has particularly led to a commensurate increase in sophistication of modeling techniques used for understanding financial markets. In this spirit, the book aims at providing the audience a comprehensive understanding of emerging stock markets in various aspects using modern financial econometric methods. It addresses the empirical techniques needed by economic agents to analyze the dynamics of these markets and illustrates how they can be applied to the actual data. On the other hand, it presents and discusses new research findings and their implications.

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment and the Multinational Enterprise written by Steven Brakman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The multinational firm and its main vehicle, foreign direct investment, are key forces in economic globalization. Their importance to the world economy can be seen in the fact that since 1990 foreign direct investment has grown more rapidly than the world GDP and world trade. Despite this, the causes and consequences of multinational firm activity are little understood and until recently relatively unexamined in the theoretical literature. This CESifo volume fills this gap, examining the multinational enterprise (MNE) and foreign direct investment (FDI) from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. In the theoretical chapters, leading scholars take a wide range of modern analytical approaches--from new growth and trade theories to new economic geography, industrial organization, and game theory. Taking current theoretical work on MNE and FDI as a starting point and aiming to extend the existing theoretical framework, the contributors consider such topics as investment liberalization and firm location, tax competition, and welfare consequences of FDI and outsourcing. The empirical chapters test several of the key hypotheses of recent theoretical work on MNE and FDI, examining topics that include productivity effects on Italian MNEs, the different effects of outsourcing in Austria and Poland, location decisions of MNEs in the European Union, and other topics.

Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging Economies written by Lou Anne A. Barclay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Caribbean countries of Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad-Tobago represent excellent examples of the increasingly important role played by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in less developed, micro-economies. The increased dependence of these countries on FDI, however, calls into question the attractiveness of the business environment of the region to the foreign investor. This volume examines both the investment behaviour and corporate strategies operating in these three countries, and assesses the factors which influence the motivations, location choices and market entry mode of multinationals making investments in the Caribbean.
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in South Asia written by Pravakar Sahoo and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1990s, the governments of South Asian countries acted as ‘facilitators’ to attract FDI. As a result, the inflow of FDI increased. However, to become an attractive FDI destination as China, Singapore, or Brazil, South Asia has to improve the local conditions of doing business. This book, based on research that blends theory, empirical evidence, and policy, asks and attempts to answer a few core questions relevant to FDI policy in South Asian countries: Which major reforms have succeeded? What are the factors that influence FDI inflows? What has been the impact of FDI on macroeconomic performance? Which policy priorities/reforms needed to boost FDI are pending? These questions and answers should interest policy makers, academics, and all those interested in FDI in the South Asian region and in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan.
