für 44.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
The stock split is a popular practice in many markets despite the fact that it does not fundamentally change the value of the firm. Many past evidences supported the liquidity hypothesis and found positive abnormal return around stock split date. However, all studies employed traditional event study methodology and defined the event date as either the announcement date or effective date. This thesis investigates the impact of stock splits on the firm s share prices on the Egyptian Exchange in the period 2007 to 2010. The purpose of this study is to test whether the investor can make an above normal return by relying on public information impounded in a stock split announcement. Stock split samples include a total of 906 daily observations and the corresponding EGX 30 was analyzed using standard risk adjusted event study methodology. An event study is conducted in order to identify abnormal returns both around the announcement day and the stock split date. Negative abnormal returns are found at the announcement date, while positive abnormal returns are found at the split date. ····· 1036199433

Financial liberalisation programmes derived its strength from the neo-classical theory which assumed that money is exogenous under the control of the central bank. It also hypothesised that in a repressed regime investment is saving constrained. Hence a rise in interest rate gives rise to more saving and this enhances the banking system s ability to extend more credit and therefore investment increases. In contrast the post-Keynesian theory assumed the endogeneity of money. Further, it also assumed that investment is financed by credit, and investment which take place generates saving and then savings used to fund investment. ····· 1036198490

Essays on Asset Pricing with Stochastic Discount Factors

für 53.10€ kaufen ···· Rheinberg-Buch.de - Bücher, eBooks, DVD & Blu-ray
Many financial models are evaluated using the stochastic discount factor (SDF) approach because of its simplicity, flexibility and universality. The two essays of this work exploit these characteristics to re-examine two long-standing asset pricing topics: consumption-based and performance measurement models. The first essay develops a methodology to understand and compare the sources of pricing errors in models based on SDF moments. The method allows a new investigation of preference-based explanations of the risk-free rate, term premium and risk premium puzzles. The second essay presents a method to measure performance evaluation by developing bounds on admissible performance measures that are free from inference errors. The bounds are furthermore used in ranking mutual funds and as a diagnostic instrument for evaluating candidate performance measures. Each essay carefully establishes the empirical relevancy of the proposed methodologies. These extensions of the SDF framework provide important new insights and have numerous finance applications for academic researchers and practitioners. ····· 1036191480
