Dynamics Of Tobin’S Q And Us Stock Performance, Matiur Rahman, Muhammad Mustafa
International Review of Business and Economics
To study the dynamic effects of changes in Tobin’Q on stock prices of selected 249 US public companies of different industry categories. Panel unit roots tests and cointegration tests are implemented. Next, DOLS and GMM models are estimated. Annual data for the 2004-2012 period are used for the above selected US companies. Panel unit root tests provide somewhat mixed evidence of non-stationarity of both variables. There is clear evidence of cointegration between the above variables. The negative coefficient of the error-correction term shows convergence toward long-run equilibrium, though at slow pace. The estimates also reveal shortrun net positive interactive feedback …

Retesting The Dual Sector Model In India And Brazil, Jiade Xiao
International Review of Business and Economics
India and Brazil are developing countries and emerging markets, enjoying economic development in the recent decades. The development experience of both countries may provide persuasive evidences in supporting or disapproving the economic theories. Arthur Lewis’ structural-change theory focuses on the transition of economic structure with the character from depending heavily on agricultural sector to the character with more contribution from industrial sector occurring in the developing countries. His model of dual sector, as an important part of the structural-change theory, argues that the labor moving from agricultural sector to industrial sector associated with the migration from rural area to urban …

Detecting Multiple Bubbles And Exuberance In Financial Data: An Extensive Empirical Examination Over Four Major Foreign Indexes, Swarna D. Dutt, Dipak Ghosh
International Review of Business and Economics
History is replete with incidents of financial crisis, which ex-post become a wakeup call for policy makers and the people. But there were no tests which could identify and date financial bubbles in real time, till now. Phillips, Shi and Yu [2015] provides the first and only model to recursively examine for multiple bubbles. Their “flexible window” methodology provides consistent results and has successfully identified the well-known historical episodes of exuberance and collapse. This accuracy provides very useful “warning alerts” to central bankers, fiscal regulators and policy makers to pre-emptively act and possibly eliminate an impending implosion. We extensively examine …

Economic Growth And Credit In India, Charan Singh Ph.D., Subhash Bharadwaj Pemmaraju, Rohan Das
International Review of Business and Economics
The interdependence between credit expansion and economic growth has been a subject of some debate. While some economists contest that the development of the financial system is a byproduct of economic growth others assert that credit expansion is critical for growth itself. India’s impetus on expanding its banking reach and recent changes in the way transactions are being done begs the question whether such changes directly affect the growth trajectory. This paper aims to examine and understand the relationship between credit and growth in India in the last few decades. Different metrics for credit and output is used to test …

International Review of Business and Economics
Ghana has been the recipient of large levels of aid since the 1980s. This coincides with significant improvements in the country including increased growth and poverty reduction. We analyze the role of foreign aid in Ghana’s success. Using annual data from 1961 to 2012, we employ an error correction model to estimate the long-run relationship between aid and conditional aid in Ghana’s economic growth. We find that conditional aid has a positive and statistically significant impact on growth. Through an examination of Ghana over three phases with varying aid and conditionality, we conclude that Ghana’s success with conditional aid is …

Co-Integration Between Savings And Investment In India And The Us: An Econometric Analysis Of Feldstein-Horioka Hypothesis, Narender Thakur Ph.D., Vishnu Das Gupta
Co-Integration Between Savings And Investment In India And The Us: An Econometric Analysis Of Feldstein-Horioka Hypothesis, Narender Thakur Ph.D., Vishnu Das Gupta
International Review of Business and Economics
This paper econometrically tests the Feldstein-Horioka hypotheses. It uses the domestic savings and domestic investments variables in India and the US in the period 1960- 2014. The Feldstein-Horioka hypotheses states that the cointegration relationship between domestic savings and domestic investments weakens in a country with higher foreign capital mobility and vice-versa. We find that the co-integration relation between the two time-series variables is weakened in the case of the US economy as compared to the Indian economy. These results have policy implications for India as it is opening itself up more to inward foreign investment.

Democratizing Innovation: How Consumer Electronics Is Revolutionizing Rocketscience, Abhith Pallegar
International Review of Business and Economics
The traditional flow of cutting-edge technologies observed over the last 100 years was from government supported defense space to its broader application in the civilian domain. We have seen technology flow into consumer products years after its introduction in defense applications. Most common examples of this movement were the invention and incubation of the Internet and Global Positioning System in prestigious national labs, which later trickled down to benefit millions. But there seems to be a shift in the tide of innovation where consumer market has been influential in developing a range of technologies which have flown the other way …

Migration From Mexico To The Us: The Impacts Of Nafta On Mexico And The United States And What To Do Going Forward, Ashley A. Elsasser
International Review of Business and Economics
Research indicates four main causes for migration from Mexico to the United States: Incredibly high crime rates, unemployment, poverty rates, and natural disasters. The first two are especially important in regards to trade between the two border sharing countries. Since agreeing to virtually total free trade, the United States has been able to take advantage of Mexico in such a way that has created further deterioration of the state. If the government of Mexico cannot resurrect the thousands of personal business that were effected do to NAFTA, the U.S. cannot expect for migration from Mexico to deteriorate or halt. By …

The decision of demonetization announcement in November 2016, by the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi, was surprising to the general public and controversial to the economic thinkers. While the opponents of such a step have gone through actual calculation of the cost of demonetization in terms of potential GDP loss (2% as predicted by the former Prime Minister and Oxford Economist, Manmohan Singh) some supporters have pointed out the big benefits of this step. In recent days a talk of demonetization has become a “hot potato” that very few want to hold on to. Politically this has become …

Idiosyncratic Risk And Returns: The Case For A More Efficient Class Of Estimators, Mohinder Parkash, Rajeev Singhal, Yun Ellen Zhu
Idiosyncratic Risk And Returns: The Case For A More Efficient Class Of Estimators, Mohinder Parkash, Rajeev Singhal, Yun Ellen Zhu
International Review of Business and Economics
Volatility is a key input into many important financial decisions. Therefore, accurateforecast of volatility plays animportant role in making these decisions. Typically, volatility is forecast using realized volatility computed from closing stock prices. Employing expectation of volatilitiessuch calculated, several papers find that expected idiosyncratic risk is positively associated with contemporaneous returns. Yang and Zhang [2000] show that estimators belonging to the class of range-based estimators are more efficient than the estimators derived only from closing prices. Using the more efficient range-based volatility estimates, we find no evidence to support the hypothesis that idiosyncratic risk explains returns.
