The Effect Of Female Board On Firm Value Evidence From The Asia Pacific, Tanyatorn Kulalert
The Effect Of Female Board On Firm Value Evidence From The Asia Pacific, Tanyatorn Kulalert
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This paper examines the relationship between board gender diversity and firm value of companies in the Asia-Pacific from 2011 to 2020. Fixed effects and two-stage least squares are employed to deal with endogeneity. We find that increasing female directors to the board has a positive and significant effect on firm value as measured by Tobin’s Q. The result suggests that independent directors have a positive and significant impact on firm value. However, when the board is composed of independent directors, appointing female directors decreases the firm's value owing to over monitoring. Furthermore, the positive effect of female directors appears to …
The Evidence Of The Beta Anomaly In The European Reit Market, Nutpapol Tantratananuwat
The Evidence Of The Beta Anomaly In The European Reit Market, Nutpapol Tantratananuwat
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This paper finds empirical evidence of the beta anomaly in the European REIT market in the period 2012 – 2021. The alpha of a low minus high beta strategy is positive and statistically significant which can interpret that the low beta REITs have a higher risk-adjusted return than high beta REITs. To examine the explanation behind the beta anomaly, the controlling variables which may cause the beta anomaly including the lottery-like stock return factor, the skewness factor, and the institutional ownership factor are added into the Fama-French 3-factor model. For the result, only the institutional ownership factor which refers to …
Examination Of Facebook's Announcement Effect On Metaverse Tokens, Chalakorn Sathiwas
Examination Of Facebook's Announcement Effect On Metaverse Tokens, Chalakorn Sathiwas
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
In this research, we study an announcement effect of Facebook Inc.’s rebranding to Meta Platform Inc. in October 2021, as a flagship event that sheds spotlight to the metaverse business, on 50 metaverse-related cryptographic tokens. Using Google’s CausalImpact package in R with historical daily returns within -30,7 windows, the model expects a 11.80% counterfactual CAR but the actual CAR is 69.20%, indicating a 57.40% absolute effect of this announcement on aggregate metaverse tokens at 99% significant level. We also further regress five factors, namely game-fi, marketplace, holders, illiquidity, and VC factor on the post-announcement CAR. However, the result is sparse. …

Mutual Fund Performance Evaluation With Active Peer Benchmarks Of Domestic Equity Funds In Thailand, Pornthip Supasinthanaphat
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
We use the active peer benchmarks (APB) methodology suggested by Hunter et al. (2014) to capture commonalities or common idiosyncratic noise in fund strategies. These commonalities cannot be captured by the Carhart 4-factor model and it also decreases the accuracy in fund performance evaluation. Firstly, we examine the efficiency of the APB methodology compared with the Carhart 4-factor model. Then we also use the APB methodology to evaluate the performance of actively managed Thai open-end domestic equity funds from January 2006 through December 2020. In the APB methodology, we focus on two dimensions: fund returns and the fund’s investment objectives. …

When investors from different countries invest abroad in the same destination country and same asset is invested, they may achieve different foreign asset return or value after converting back to the home currency in each country, in other words, the value of such investment and its return could differ from what they retain in the that foreign currency. This phenomenon leads to the risk called “currency risk”. The currency risk could also be seen in several different ways such as economic risk, transaction risk as so on. Considering the value of the asset return after converting back to home currency, …

Accruals And Volatility In A Real Options-Based Investment Approach: Evidence From Thai Market, Chayaporn Chuenurajit
Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)
This study investigates the relationship between year-ahead net working capital accruals as a proxy of investment behavior and expected volatility during the period of 2009 to 2018 of listed non-financial firms in Thailand. I apply a real options-based investment framework to view accruals as a result of investment decision and investigate the impact of firm’s expected volatility. The results show that firms with higher expected volatility have lower level of year-ahead accruals which is consistent with Grenadier and Malenko (2010). Moreover, this study also indicates that high expected volatility period induces distressed firms to invest because they have opportunity to …
