Impact Of The Gold-To-Platinum Price Ratio On Mutual Fund Flows In Thailand, Luxamee Choktarm Jan 2024

Impact Of The Gold-To-Platinum Price Ratio On Mutual Fund Flows In Thailand, Luxamee Choktarm

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study explores whether the gold-to-platinum price ratio can explain mutual fund flows in Thailand by focusing on two key indicators: the abnormal GP ratio (AGP) and the fund sensitivity to monthly changes in GP (β∆GP). These measures are used to assess whether investors perceive the GP ratio as a proxy for economic uncertainty. The analysis uses monthly data from January 2017 to December 2023, covering both active equity funds and corporate bond funds. The models include fund level characteristics such as size, expense ratio, age, past flows, and return volatility, along with macroeconomic variables including inflation, exchange rates, interest …

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigates the magnet effect of circuit breakers and their interaction with daily price limits in the Thai stock market during the COVID-19 crisis. Using high-frequency intraday data from March 2020 and an AR(2)-GARCH(1,1) framework, the analysis examines whether returns and trading activity accelerate near circuit breaker thresholds and how firm characteristics influence this effect. Results reveal significant magnet effects at the individual stock level, especially among smaller firms, while evidence at the index level is weak. The study also finds that circuit breakers and price limits reinforce each other, amplifying price movements when both thresholds are approached. These …


The Impact Of Esg Performance On Equity Mispricing: Evidence From Asia-Pacific Markets, Visut Poochum Jan 2024

The Impact Of Esg Performance On Equity Mispricing: Evidence From Asia-Pacific Markets, Visut Poochum

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study examines the relationship between ESG performance and equity mispricing in Asia-Pacific markets from 2010 to 2023, using the Rhodes-Kropf et al. (2005) decomposition method. The results show that stronger ESG performance is significantly associated with lower mispricing, particularly among undervalued firms, suggesting that ESG improves pricing efficiency by reducing information asymmetry. ESG performance has limited influence on overvalued firms, indicating its impact is more pronounced when valuations are suppressed. Further analysis reveals that the environmental, social, and governance pillars each independently contribute to mitigating mispricing, highlighting their distinct roles in enhancing pricing accuracy. ESG controversy does not significantly …


Arbitrage Opportunity On Set Index Futures With Multi-Regime Machine Learning Approaches, Supakrit Nititsopon Jan 2024

Arbitrage Opportunity On Set Index Futures With Multi-Regime Machine Learning Approaches, Supakrit Nititsopon

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigates mispricing between SET50 Index Futures and the spot market through a multi-regime framework that integrates traditional asset pricing theory with machine learning. Using data from 2010-2023, K-means clustering identifies distinct market regimes, while XGBoost models regime behavior based on micro- and macroeconomic features. OLS regression shows that mispricing is primarily driven by microstructural factors, with macroeconomic variables contributing marginally in specific regimes. A regime-specific pairs trading strategy between SET50 futures and the TDEX ETF reveals persistent, regime-dependent arbitrage opportunities. Notably, one regime generates consistent net returns after transaction costs, although limited trade frequency raises robustness concerns. The …

The study employs a naïve probability approach, a simplified version of the Merton model, to estimate default probability. The results show that maturity mismatch significantly increases the probability of default, meaning that firms that rely on short-term financing to fund long-term investments face a higher likelihood of …


Mispricing Of Set50 Index Futures Calendar Spreads: Evidence From The Thailand Futures Exchange, Lapat Nangsue Jan 2024

Mispricing Of Set50 Index Futures Calendar Spreads: Evidence From The Thailand Futures Exchange, Lapat Nangsue

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigates the mispricing of SET50 Index Futures calendar spreads on the Thailand Futures Exchange (TFEX), focusing on deviations from the cost-of-carry model. Using end-of-day data from 2019 to 2024, the study analyzes how mispricing evolves as contracts approach expiration. The findings reveal that mispricing intensifies during the rollover period—particularly within 10 trading days before maturity—suggesting increased cost and risk for investors. Open interest in deferred contracts is found to be significantly correlated with mispricing, while net positions by investor types do not show statistical significance. The study also examines the 6-month calendar spread, which demonstrates more pricing stability …

Using a panel dataset of publicly listed firms from five Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and Thailand) over the period 2014–2023, the analysis employs fixed effects regression models incorporating country, industry, and year fixed effects. The results show that board gender diversity is negatively and significantly associated with Tobin’s Q, indicating that increased female representation on boards is linked to lower market valuation. However, no significant effect is found on accounting-based …


Determinants Of M&A In Japan And Effect Of Governance Reform, Maytakorn Lumyongsathien Jan 2024

Determinants Of M&A In Japan And Effect Of Governance Reform, Maytakorn Lumyongsathien

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study examines the evolving role of private equity (PE) in Japan’s mergers and acquisitions (M&A) landscape, with particular attention to three critical stages: target selection, deal completion, and the influence of board independence. Analyzing M&A transactions across the pre- and post-2015 period, we find that PE acquirors consistently target firms characterized by low profitability, high leverage, and high asset tangibility suggesting an emphasis on unlocking value through operational turnaround and debt-financed restructuring. The probability of deal completion increases when targets exhibit weaker financial performance but stronger collateral, consistent with the use of leveraged buyout strategies. Importantly, the implementation of …

Comparative Effects Of Esg Disclosure And Performance On Corporate Debt Financing Costs: Evidence From The Asia-Pacific Region, Chanakan Mungkarak Jan 2024

Comparative Effects Of Esg Disclosure And Performance On Corporate Debt Financing Costs: Evidence From The Asia-Pacific Region, Chanakan Mungkarak

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This paper examines the comparative effects of ESG disclosure and ESG performance on corporate debt financing costs of the firms in Asia-Pacific countries during the year 2014 to 2023. Grounded in signaling and stakeholder theories, the analysis assesses whether lenders respond more to transparency or actual ESG implementation. The findings show that ESG performance consistently has a stronger and more significant impact on reducing borrowing costs than ESG disclosure. In models including both variables, only ESG performance remains significant. Robustness checks using an ESG gap score reveal that in developed economies, firms with misaligned disclosure and performance are penalized, while …
