Household Financial Ratios: A Review Of Literature, Nathan Harness, Michael Finke, Swarn Chatterjee

Swarn Chatterjee

The literature on household financial ratios provides insight into the characteristics related to meeting common investment asset, debt, and liquidity guidelines. We know much about the contemporaneous relation between ratios and household characteristics, but the literature exploring the impact of meeting ratio thresholds on subsequent financial success is in its infancy. Ratios can be useful heuristics that efficiently provide information about financial status as well as a prescriptive guideline to motivate more efficient financial behavior. While the existing literature provides some insight into which households have adequate ratios, there are opportunities for additional empirical scrutiny and application of household resource …

The Effect Of 9/11 On The Stock Market Volatility Dynamics: Empirical Evidence From A Front Line State, Omar Farooq, Sheraz Ahmed

Omar Farooq

Did the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 change the volatility dynamics of stock markets? Using daily returns data from Pakistan, a front line state in the war against terror, we investigate whether important time series characteristics, for example first-order time dependence in the mean and conditional variance, the conditional variance risk premium, and the asymmetric response of the conditional variance to innovations, have changed during the post-9/11 period in comparison to these characteristics during the pre-9/11 period. Our results show that the volatility behavior changed significantly after the terrorist attacks of 9/11. We show that this sudden shift in …
