Predictable Responses In Currency Markets To Macroeconomic News: A Trading System Approach, Bruce Vanstone, Warwick Schneller
Predictable Responses In Currency Markets To Macroeconomic News: A Trading System Approach, Bruce Vanstone, Warwick Schneller
Bruce Vanstone
This paper analyses how the release of a macro news event affects exchange rate behaviour. The event examined was the US non-farm payrolls announcement and the British Pound (GBP)/ US Dollar (USD) were the selected currency pair. A trading system model was developed based on a formal methodology previously applied to equity markets. The system examined the currencies reaction to the announcement in determining whether any behavioural patterns were present. Based on the trading system, no exploitable trading patterns were found.
Third Party Access And Refusal To Deal In European Energy Networks: How Sector Regulation And Competition Law Meet Each Other, Michael Diathesopoulos
Third Party Access And Refusal To Deal In European Energy Networks: How Sector Regulation And Competition Law Meet Each Other, Michael Diathesopoulos
Michael Diathesopoulos
In this paper, we will analyse the issue of concurrence between competition and sector rules and the relation between parallel concepts within the two different legal frameworks. We will firstly examine Third Party Access in relation to essential facilities doctrine and refusal of access and we will identify the common points and objectives of these concepts and the extent to which they provide a context to each other’s implementation. Second, we will focus on how Commission uses sector regulation and objectives as a context within the process of implementation of competition law in the energy sector and third, we will …
Evaluation Of Hedging Techniques As Instruments To Minimise The Impact Of Transaction And Translation Risks In Global Business Market, George E. Ekeha
Evaluation Of Hedging Techniques As Instruments To Minimise The Impact Of Transaction And Translation Risks In Global Business Market, George E. Ekeha
George E Ekeha
The current global economic development has made it possible for corporate executives to operate anywhere they wish over the world. This opportunity, however, depends on the need and strategy of the company concern. Some companies go into the global market in order to exploit an opportunity that has been identified. Others go global as a market expansion strategy. Others may be due to the fact that the company has reached the maturity stage in its local market, they would have no choice than to go global in order to be in business.
Companies have many choices by which they can …
How Accurate Is The Statement That “The Dividend Policy Of A Firm Is Irrelevant”., George E. Ekeha
How Accurate Is The Statement That “The Dividend Policy Of A Firm Is Irrelevant”., George E. Ekeha
George E Ekeha
Various studies suggest that the question of whether dividend policy affects the value of the firm has puzzled researchers and corporate managers for many years. It is evidence that dividend policy is one of the most widely researched topics in finance. Yet, researchers have different views about whether the percentage of earnings that a firm pays out in dividends materially affects its long-term share price, Dempsey et al, (1993). This essay tried to identify the various studies on the dividend puzzle. It is outlined in this essay that dividend payment by corporate organisations is influenced by various factors. Some of …

The Effect Of Taxes On Multinational Debt Location, Matteo Arena, Andrew Roper
The Effect Of Taxes On Multinational Debt Location, Matteo Arena, Andrew Roper
Matteo P. Arena
We provide new evidence that differences in international tax rates and tax regimes affect multinational firms' debt location decisions. Our sample contains 8287 debt issues from 2437 firms headquartered in 23 different countries with debt-issuing subsidiaries in 59 countries. We analyze firms' marginal decisions of where to issue debt to investigate the influence of a comprehensive set of tax-related effects, including differences in personal and corporate tax rates, tax credit and exemption systems, and bi-lateral cross-country withholding taxes on interest and dividend payments. Our results show that differences in personal and corporate tax rates, the presence of dividend imputation or …
The Impact Of Bank Mergers On Liquidity Creation, Elisabeta Pana, Jin Park, Tim Query
The Impact Of Bank Mergers On Liquidity Creation, Elisabeta Pana, Jin Park, Tim Query
Elisabeta Pana
Using 189 commercial bank mergers between 1997 and 2004, we document a positive impact of the merger activity on bank liquidity creation. Consistent with the deposit insurance hypothesis, we find that banks with higher levels of deposit insurance create higher levels of liquidity around mergers. Furthermore, we document that the level of equity capital explains the change in liquidity creation around mergers for the sample of large acquirers. We show that for the sample of small acquirers there is a negative relationship between the level of economic growth and changes in liquidity creation around mergers.

Bank Risk And Return: The Impact Of Bank Non-Interest Income, Barry Williams, Laurie Prather
Bank Risk And Return: The Impact Of Bank Non-Interest Income, Barry Williams, Laurie Prather
Laurie Prather
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to consider the impact on bank risk of portfolio diversification between traditional margin income and fee-based income for banks operating in Australia.Design/methodology/approach – Considering several performance variables, this analysis compares the benefits of diversification across different bank types relative to margin income and fee income. Further, regression analysis considers bank risk and revenue concentration.Findings – This paper documents that fee-based income is riskier than margin income but offers diversification benefits to bank shareholders. While improving bank risk-return trade-off, these benefits are of second order importance compared to the large negative impact of …

An Analysis Of Australian Exchange Traded Options And Warrants, Will Bertin, Paul Fowler, David Michayluk, Laurie Prather
An Analysis Of Australian Exchange Traded Options And Warrants, Will Bertin, Paul Fowler, David Michayluk, Laurie Prather
Laurie Prather
This study focuses on the price discovery process in Australian option and warrant markets. Characterizing these two markets in terms of their cost structures and institutional features, we formally test competing price discovery hypotheses. The general findings indicate that the warrants market is the dominant market suggesting that their lower trading cost outweigh their less attractive institutional features. Additionally, we find that idiosyncratic differences among firms may result in a clientele effect thus providing justification for the coexistence of these seemingly redundant markets.

Emphasizing Foreign Language Use To International Marketing Students: A Situational Exercise That Mimics Real-World Challenges, Tracy L. Melin, Nina M. Ray
Nina M. Ray
An international marketing exercise consists of students orally providing an introduction in a chosen foreign language of what they, as potential salespeople, might say to a client in that country. Students speak (not read) their prepared statements to the class and are leniently, yet constructively, evaluated on language use and pronunciation and marketing credibility. The objective is to emulate a real business situation and to show students the challenges of working with different languages and cultures in international marketing and the imperfections of direct translation. Results of a student survey showed that a majority of students believed the exercise to …

Examining Foreign Exchange Behaviour In Asia Pacific And Eastern European Emerging Countries, Catherine S. F. Ho, Mohamed Ariff
Examining Foreign Exchange Behaviour In Asia Pacific And Eastern European Emerging Countries, Catherine S. F. Ho, Mohamed Ariff
Mohamed Ariff
This paper reports new findings on exchange rate dynamics concerning whether non-parity fundamentals and parity factors affect exchange rates within a group of trade-related emerging countries: non-parity fundamentals suggested by economic theories have yet been systematically related to exchange rates. We use high- and low-frequency multi-country pooled time series panel data approach. The evidence that emerges from this paper is that non-parity factors are significant contributors to exchange rates. These new findings on other-than-parity fundamentals add to a richer understanding of exchange rate behaviour as well as clarifying why existing findings are mixed.

The Role Of Non-Parity Fundamentals In Exchange Rate Determination: Australia And The Asia Pacific Region, Mohamed Ariff, Catherine S. F. Ho
Mohamed Ariff
This paper extends the literature by looking at the contribution of non-parity variables after extracting the impact of parity variables on exchange rates of Australia and the Asia Pacific countries. Exchange rates are examined using high- and low-frequency multi-country panel time series data for a group of trade-related nations in the Asia Pacific, including Japan. Our findings suggest that exchange rate is affected by growth rate, and trade and capital flows: other less significant variables include sovereign debt; balance of payments; money supply; and trade openness. It also confirms that interest rate has significant effect on exchange rates while price …

The Effect Of Instructional Technologies On The Finance Classroom, Steven D. Dolvin, J. Michael Morgan, Mark Pyles
Steven D. Dolvin
Using a survey technique, we evaluate the effect of PowerPoint, online lecture notes, financial calculators, and machine readable forms (MRF) on students' assessment of the quality of instruction, perceived knowledge level, satisfaction, post-course interest in the subject, and average grade in introductory finance courses. We also examine these opinions on a relative basis by comparing the responses of Finance majors versus non-Finance majors. The results suggest that certain technologies are received better than others and further, that the perceived quality of instructional techniques is largely contingent on the student's choice of major.
Reit Ipos And The Cost Of Going Public, Steven D. Dolvin, Mark Pyles
Reit Ipos And The Cost Of Going Public, Steven D. Dolvin, Mark Pyles
Steven D. Dolvin
We examine Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) of Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that went public between 1986 and 2004. Consistent with previous studies, we find that REIT IPOs are associated with lower levels of underpricing relative to traditional issues. We also find that REITs are associated with smaller file price revisions. Both findings are potentially attributable to the lower level of uncertainty associated with pricing REITs. In contrast, using an alternative measure of issuance costs that incorporates the share retention decision by preexisting owners, we find no significant difference between REIT and non-REIT issues, suggesting the results of previous studies …

Out Of The Black Hole: Regulatory Reform Of The Over-The-Counter Derivatives Market, Michael Greenberger
Out Of The Black Hole: Regulatory Reform Of The Over-The-Counter Derivatives Market, Michael Greenberger
Michael Greenberger
Unregulated OTC derivatives have been at the heart of recent systemic or near systemic collapses. After each financial crisis, governments worldwide proclaim that the OTC market has to be regulated for transparency, capital adequacy, regulation of intermediaries, self regulation, and strong enforcement of fraud and manipulation. But, aided by the passage of time, Wall Street always deflates those aspirations with aggressive lobbying. The present financial reform regulatory effort may be the only chance to get this issue right before the country devolves into a further financial quagmire with more bankruptcies and more job losses. This paper is a chapter of …

An Overview Of Caribbean Securities Exchanges, Clifford Chad Henson
An Overview Of Caribbean Securities Exchanges, Clifford Chad Henson
Clifford Chad Henson
Caribbean securities exchanges have existed since the 1969 creation of the Jamaican Stock Exchange; in the last 15 years those exchanges have increased in number and signiicance. From the creation of the Bermuda Stock Exchange in 1971 to the creation of the Trinidad & Tobago Stock Exchange in 1981, no new exchanges with staying power were added. Beginning with the Barbados Stock Exchange in 1987 and followed by the Bolsa de Valores de la Republica Dominicana in 1991, the Cayman Islands Stock Exchange in 1997, the Bahamas International Securities Exchange and the International Finance Center and Exchange in 1999, and …
Dividend Drop Ratios And Tax Theory: An Intraday Analysis Under Different Tax And Price Quoting Regimes, Vyas Balasubramaniam, William Bertin, Thomas Henker, Laurie Prather
Dividend Drop Ratios And Tax Theory: An Intraday Analysis Under Different Tax And Price Quoting Regimes, Vyas Balasubramaniam, William Bertin, Thomas Henker, Laurie Prather
Thomas Henker
We calculate dividend drop ratios over periods with changing quotation and taxation frameworks to assess the validity of competing explanations. Using intraday prices adjusted for non-trading, we provide a more accurate picture of price changes due to dividend payments than those produced in previous literature. Intraday estimates for dividend drop ratios are consistently higher than those calculated with end of day prices. Further findings indicate that stocks trading ex-dividend, on average, underperform the market over the following month. We attribute this phenomenon to dividend capture trading by tax advantaged and tax indifferent market participants.
The Low P/E Effect And Abnormal Returns For Australian Industrial Firms, Simone Kelly, Jenna Mcclean, Ray Mcnamara
The Low P/E Effect And Abnormal Returns For Australian Industrial Firms, Simone Kelly, Jenna Mcclean, Ray Mcnamara
Ray McNamara
While the low P/E effect has been examined rather extensively in international markets particularly in the US, there is a notable absence of Australian market-based P/E studies. This research examines the relationship between the investment performance of Australian Industrial common stock and their P/E ratios in an attempt to uncover potential for a P/E based trading strategy. The excess and differential returns of P/E ranked portfolios containing 1310 Industrial firms over a 9 year period (January 1998 to December 2006) are examined. The results show the existence of a low P/E effect in the Australian capital market. Furthermore, the superior …

The Valuation Accuracy Of The Price-Earnings And Price-Book Benchmark Valuation Methods, C. S. Cheng, Ray Mcnamara
The Valuation Accuracy Of The Price-Earnings And Price-Book Benchmark Valuation Methods, C. S. Cheng, Ray Mcnamara
Ray McNamara
This paper evaluates the valuation accuracy of the price-earnings (P/E), the price-book (P/B) and a combined price-earnings and price-book (P/E-P/B) benchmark valuation methods. Performance of the benchmark valuation methods relies on the definition of comparable firms. In this paper, comparable firms are selected based on industry membership, size and return on equity as well as combinations of industry membership with size and with return on equity. We find that within the P/E and P/B benchmark valuation methods, the best definition of the comparable firms are based on industry membership combined with return on equity. However, only the industry membership is …
