AbstractThis paper examines the mean, volatility spillovers and response asymmetries between short-term and long-term interest rates, exchange rates and portfolios of money center, large and medium-sized banks in the U.S. I use the multivariate version of Nelson’s (1991) Exponential Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic (EGARCH) model. Results indicate mean and volatility spillovers from short-term interest rates and exchange rates and long-term interest rates and exchange rates to three bank portfolios. Results also show response asymmetries from short-term interest rates and exchange rates and long-term interest rates and exchange rates to all the three bank portfolios. These findings have important implications for bankers in terms of devising different hedging strategies against interest rates and exchange rate risks.

This paper investigates how China’s stock market reacts to short-term interest rates, as represented by the Shanghai Interbank Offered Rate (Shibor). We adopt the Markov Regime Switching model to divide China’s stock market into Medium, Bull and Bear market; and then examine how Shibor influences market returns and risk in different market regimes. We find that short-term interest rates have a significant negative effect on stock returns in Medium and Bull market, but could not affect stock returns in Bear market. In addition, different maturities of Shibor have different effects on stock returns. Furthermore, we find that the short-term interest rates have a negative effect on market risk in Bull market, but a positive effect in Bear market. Our findings show that China’s market is quite peculiar and distinctive from the U.S. market or other developed countries’ markets in many ways.

El siguiente artículo analiza el ingreso de capital financiero de corto plazo (capital golondrina) en el país a partir del segundo semestre de 2012. Interesa revisar lo que establece la teoría económica sobre su origen, causas y consecuencias, así como las medidas regulatorias que pueden tomar las autoridades económicas para limitar estos flujos y contrarrestar sus efectos macroeconómicos. Finalmente, a la luz de estos desarrollos se revisa la propuesta del Poder Ejecutivo tendente a desestimular el arribo de estos capitales.ABSTRACT In this paper we analyze the entry of short-term financial capitals to the country in the second half of 2012. What economic theory says regarding its origin, causes and consequences is going to be reviewed, as well as the regulatory measures that policymakers can take to limit their flows and counteract their macroeconomic effects. Finally, taking into account these developments, an executive proposal aiming to discourage the arrival of these capitals is analyzed. KEYWORDS: CAPITAL FLOWS, IMPOSSIBLE TRINITY, INTEREST RATES, EXCHANGE RATES, INFLATION, INTERNATIONAL MONETARY RESERVES.

This paper is an attempt to examine the empirical evidence of International Fisher Effect (IFE) between Bangladesh and its two other major trading partners, China and India. The IFE uses interest rate differentials to explain why exchange rates change over time. A time series approach is considered to trace the relationship between nominal interest rates and exchange rates in these countries. The estimated value, by applying OLS, is used to determine the casual relationship between interest rates and exchange rates for quarterly data from 4th Quarter, 1995 to the 2nd Quarter, 2008. The empirical results suggest that there is a little correlation between exchange rates and interest rates differential for Bangladesh with China and Bangladesh with India, and the relationship between the variables is also not noteworthy for Bangladesh. Further, the trends advocate that the forecasting of exchange rates with the hypothesis of IFE is not realistic for these countries.

ABSTRACT The study aims to analyze the effect of cashflow growth, earning growth, inflation, interest rates and exchange rates to stock return BUMN. The sample selection is done by using purposive sampling method. Acquired a total sample of 15 companies of 19 state-owned companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2009 - 2012. This study used multiple linear regression analysis techniques to examine the effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable. Based on the results of the study, there were no variables that deviated of the classical assumption, it indicates that the available data are qualified to use a multiple linear regression model. The results showed that the growth in cash flow, earnings growth, interest rates and exchange rates had no significant effect on stock returns. The study able to show that the interest rate significant positive effect on stock returns. ABSTRAK Penelitian bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh pertumbuhan arus kas, pertumbuhan laba, inflasi, suku bunga dan nilai kurs terhadap return saham BUMN. Pemilihan sampel dilakukan dengan menggunakan purposive sampling method. Diperoleh jumlah sampel sebanyak 15 perusahaan dari 19 perusahaan BUMN yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia selama periode 2009 – 2012. Penelitian ini menggunakan teknik analisa regresi linear berganda untuk menguji pengaruh variable independen terhadap variable dependen. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, tidak ditemukan variabel yang menyimpang dari asumsi klasik, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa data yang tersedia telah memenuhi syarat untuk menggunakan model persamaan regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan arus kas, pertumbuhan laba, suku bunga dan nilai kurs tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap return saham. Penelitian berhasil membuktikan bahwa suku bunga berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap return saham BUMN. JEL Classification: G14, G30
