Obstacles To Domestic Retail Investing : Evidence From Mexico, Kenneth Bulko
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Despite efforts to improve investment behavior, equity participation worldwide remains low. Researchers have attempted to explain the reluctance to purchase risky assets by seeking to identify the barriers investors face during the investment process. However, past empirical results relied on data often collected as part of a larger investigation and not explicitly centered on barriers to investing. We seek to deepen the understanding of investor behavior with qualitative and qualitative research designed to specifically identify the obstacles typically faced by potential investors, with a particular focus on Mexico.

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
HIV contributes to the highest number of deaths from infectious diseases in low-income countries.

A Stochastic Volatility Model With Leverage Effect And Regime Switching, Hong Jiang
Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Modeling the volatility of asset returns is a very important study in financial economics. Among the time-varying volatility models, the Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are argued to have advantages over the autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) models. The purpose of this article is to put forward a generalized and flexible Stochastic Volatility model, the Stochastic Volatility Model with Leverage Effect and Regime Switching (SVLR model), which could capture the complex features of financial time series to the most extent.
