Download or read book Banking Stock Returns and Their Relationship to Interest Rates and Exchange Rates written by John L. Simpson and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banks in Australia, as agents of the Central Bank, are key players in the implementation of exchange rate and monetary policies. The purpose of this study is to examine dynamic interactions among, and the long-term equilibrium relationships between, bank stock returns and the key macroeconomic and monetary policy variables in interest rates and exchange rates. The concern is whether or not current economic indicators, as reflected in interest rates and exchange rates, can explain banking stock market returns or vice versa. The statistical models used include regression models, cointegration tests and Granger causality tests from vector autoregressive models. The study finds no evidence that Australia's bank stock market returns form a cointegrating relationship with short- and long-term interest rates and exchange rates over the period of study and thus conclusions may not be drawn relating to long-term rational expectations in the Australian banking market. Evidence is presented that causality runs from bank stock returns to interest rates and exchange rates. This indicates that Australian monetary authorities, over the past decade, appear to have placed strong reliance on the health and performance of the banking and financial sector as they formulate monetary and exchange rate policy settings.
Download or read book Profit Efficiency of Australian Banks in the Period from 2000 to 2008 written by Hyun Min Lee and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis provides an analysis of profit efficiency of Australian banks in the period from 2000 to 2008. The directional (technology) distance function, data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the norm-based profit index approach are utilised to compute profit efficiency scores. Technical- and allocative efficiency scores are provided by the decomposition of profit efficiency, and price efficiency scores are also provided by a separate calculation. -- The profit efficiency of Australian banks is found to have not been improved in the period of study. In contrast to the previous Australian studies, allocative inefficiency is found to be the main source of the overall profit inefficiency of the banks, rather than technical inefficiency. This study also found strong implications for the negative impacts of highly concentrated market structure of the Australian banking sector on Australian banks' efficiency, which are observed from the results of allocative- and price efficiencies. -- Spearman Rank Correlation (SRC) analysis is conducted to examine correlation between profit efficiency and the conventional accounting measures of profitability of Australian banks. The correlation is found between the profit efficiency and return on equity (ROE). However, return on assets (ROA) is found to be negatively correlated to the profit efficiency. The size factors, such as bank's total assets and total equity, are observed to be positively correlated to the profit efficiency.
Download or read book Bank Competition Efficiency and Liquidity Creation in Asia Pacific written by N. Genetay and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-28 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking market integration in the Asia Pacific has greatly accelerated in recent years, in an environment of many other rapid advances in banking and finance. This has increased competition between domestic and foreign banks, and made the measurement of bank efficiency, competition, and liquidity creation a critical issue for both policy makers and bank managers. This book investigates important policy-related issues in Asia Pacific banking. It analyses the link between competition and stability, examining the cases of fourteen Asia Pacific countries between 2003 and 2010, and goes on to discuss whether bank shareholder value is influenced by cost and profit efficiency changes over time. The authors explore the different ways in which banks in Asia-Pacific create liquidity, and whether this is linked to capital generation. This book provides valuable insight for researchers, policy makers and bank managers with an interest in financial rationalization, restructuring and consolidation.

Download or read book Bank Size and Systemic Risk written by Mr.Luc Laeven and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2014-05-08 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The proposed SDN documents the evolution of bank size and activities over the past 20 years. It discusses whether this evolution can be explained by economies of scale or “too big to fail” subsidies. The paper then presents evidence on the extent to which bank size and market-based activities contribute to systemic risk. The paper concludes with policy messages in the area of capital regulation and activity restrictions to reduce the systemic risk posed by large banks. The analysis of the paper complements earlier Fund work, including SDN 13/04 and the recent GFSR chapter on “too big to fail” subsidies, and its policy message is in line with this earlier work.
Download or read book Information Efficiency and Anomalies in Asian Equity Markets written by Qaiser Munir and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The efficient market hypothesis (EMH) maintains that all relevant information is fully and immediately reflected in stock prices and that investors will obtain an equilibrium rate of return. The EMH has far reaching implications for capital allocation, stock price prediction, and the effectiveness of specific trading strategies. Equity market anomalies reflect that the market is inefficient and hence, contradicts the EMH. This book gathers both theoretical and practical perspectives, by including research issues, methodological approaches, practical case studies, uses of new policy and other points of view related to equity market efficiency to help address the future challenges facing the global equity markets and economies. Information Efficiency and Anomalies in Asian Equity Markets: Theories and evidence is an insightful resource that will be useful for students, academics and professionals alike.

Download or read book Benefits and Costs of Bank Capital written by Jihad Dagher and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appropriate level of bank capital and, more generally, a bank’s capacity to absorb losses, has been at the core of the post-crisis policy debate. This paper contributes to the debate by focusing on how much capital would have been needed to avoid imposing losses on bank creditors or resorting to public recapitalizations of banks in past banking crises. The paper also looks at the welfare costs of tighter capital regulation by reviewing the evidence on its potential impact on bank credit and lending rates. Its findings broadly support the range of loss absorbency suggested by the Financial Stability Board (FSB) and the Basel Committee for systemically important banks.
Download or read book European Banking written by John A. Goddard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2001-07-10 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The retail banking sector has undergone immense change over the last decade, such that the industry is barely recognisable. The creation of the European Single Market has of necessity initiated deregulation, whilst the increase in telephone and internet banking has impacted on economies of scale. Financial services organisations are now able to compete in previously uncharted territory, to considerable effect. Taking the reader on a journey of discovery through the economic theory behind the practice and the consequences that follow, the authors have created a fascinating insight into the current state of European retail banking. The authors use their extensive research to display the rationale behind the increasing trend towards consolidation and efficiency. Well argued and well researched, this is a must read for all people with an interest in the European Banking market, from investors to bankers and students alike. "This outstanding contribution has everything a banking practitioner, academic or regulator would need to know about European banking, complete from theory to practice to data to background references. This is a must-have reference guide for anyone who wants or needs to know about our financial system." - Allen N. Berger, Senior Economist, Federal Reserve Board
Download or read book Powering the Digital Economy Opportunities and Risks of Artificial Intelligence in Finance written by El Bachir Boukherouaa and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper discusses the impact of the rapid adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in the financial sector. It highlights the benefits these technologies bring in terms of financial deepening and efficiency, while raising concerns about its potential in widening the digital divide between advanced and developing economies. The paper advances the discussion on the impact of this technology by distilling and categorizing the unique risks that it could pose to the integrity and stability of the financial system, policy challenges, and potential regulatory approaches. The evolving nature of this technology and its application in finance means that the full extent of its strengths and weaknesses is yet to be fully understood. Given the risk of unexpected pitfalls, countries will need to strengthen prudential oversight.
Download or read book Performance Drivers in the Australian Banking and Financial Industry written by Ami-Lee Kelly and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talent management is a way banks acquire competitive advantage. Practices such as personality profiling with effective knowledge-based productivity and the application of high-performance work systems help to set a company apart from its competition and maintain this competitive advantage. This book provides an in-depth look at the relationship between personality types and individual-level performance in knowledge-based environments, through cases in Australia’s banking and finance sector. This book also examines how high-performance workplace systems influence individual performance in relation to productivity through a multi-level analysis of micro- and meso-level factors. The findings in this book have relevant implications not only for the Australian system but also for other banking and financial service contexts outside of Australia.
Download or read book Inflation Expectations written by Peter J. N. Sinclair and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflation is regarded by the many as a menace that damages business and can only make life worse for households. Keeping it low depends critically on ensuring that firms and workers expect it to be low. So expectations of inflation are a key influence on national economic welfare. This collection pulls together a galaxy of world experts (including Roy Batchelor, Richard Curtin and Staffan Linden) on inflation expectations to debate different aspects of the issues involved. The main focus of the volume is on likely inflation developments. A number of factors have led practitioners and academic observers of monetary policy to place increasing emphasis recently on inflation expectations. One is the spread of inflation targeting, invented in New Zealand over 15 years ago, but now encompassing many important economies including Brazil, Canada, Israel and Great Britain. Even more significantly, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan and the United States Federal Bank are the leading members of another group of monetary institutions all considering or implementing moves in the same direction. A second is the large reduction in actual inflation that has been observed in most countries over the past decade or so. These considerations underscore the critical – and largely underrecognized - importance of inflation expectations. They emphasize the importance of the issues, and the great need for a volume that offers a clear, systematic treatment of them. This book, under the steely editorship of Peter Sinclair, should prove very important for policy makers and monetary economists alike.
