The Evolution Of Monetary Policy Transmission In Defi Market, Lynn Ko Maung Jan 2024

The Evolution Of Monetary Policy Transmission In Defi Market, Lynn Ko Maung

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study investigates how U.S. monetary policy affects decentralized finance (DeFi), focusing on capital flows and interest rate sensitivity across over 500 DeFi pools from 2022 to 2024. Using three models: (1) static TVL regression, (2) rolling DeFi deposit beta, and (3) rolling DeFi interest beta, the analysis captures both cross-sectional and time-varying monetary transmission effects. Model 1 shows that DeFi deposits decline in response to rising interest rates. Model 2 confirms that DeFi deposit betas are weakly negative overall, with stablecoin pools exhibiting stronger sensitivity. Model 3 finds limited responsiveness in DeFi lending rates, suggesting that APYs are primarily …

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 …

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 …
