Lead Lag Relationship And Directional Asymmetry In Stock Returns Of Small And Large Portfolios: Evidence From The Karachi Stock Exchange, Ajid Ur Rehman, Ataullah Shah
Lead Lag Relationship And Directional Asymmetry In Stock Returns Of Small And Large Portfolios: Evidence From The Karachi Stock Exchange, Ajid Ur Rehman, Ataullah Shah
Business Review
We explore whether systematic lead-lag relationships exist among the returns of small and large portfolios and whether such portfolios show symmetrical responses to good and bad news. Regression analysis conducted on sample small and large portfolios selected from listings at the Karachi Stock Exchange shows that small stocks follow large stocks quickly in bear-market conditions but slowly in bull-market conditions. This implies that positive information is absorbed more slowly in the prices of smaller stocks than in that of larger stocks.

Beta Stationarity And Estimation Period: Evidence From Pakistan's Equity Market, Sana Tauseef
Beta Stationarity And Estimation Period: Evidence From Pakistan's Equity Market, Sana Tauseef
Business Review
This study examines the stability of individual stock beta coefficients over time and its link with the length of estimation periods. Using data for 325 stocks from Pakistan for the period 1999 to 2012, I show that beta coefficients are not stable on average but become more stable as the estimation period increases. This suggests that longer estimation periods should be used for predicting future beta coefficients. JEL Classification: G12, G23
