This paper uses daily returns on dual listed stocks traded on the Stock Exchange of Singapore (SES) to test the information-based hypothesis proposed by Longin [16]. The hypothesis is that the rate of information absorption in the conditional variance is faster for foreign shares (open to foreigners and locals) than for local shares (open to locals only). We test this hypothesis using a bivariate GARCH(1,1) model for 9 dual listed stocks over the period 1991–1996. The evidence indicates that the rate of information absorption is consistent with Longin's conjecture that the rate of information absorption varies inversely with the number of informed traders. The results also support previous U.S. evidence by Conrad, Gultekin and Kaul [7]. Our study suggests that in markets with foreign ownership restrictions, removing those restrictions is likely to improve both market efficiency and liquidity.

The study seeks to examine the Random Walk Hypothesis (RWH) and market efficiency of the selected stock market indices particularly London Stock Exchange, EuroStoxx 50, Nihon Keizai Shimbum (NIKKI), Shanghai Composite Stock Exchange and Bombay Stock Exchange. Daily closing index value is considered and transformed into logarithm return. Various tests like serial independence test, unit root test and multiple variance tests are applied. It is observed that the null hypotheses (presence of random walks) of the daily returns of the indices are rejected and in few cases are accepted based on various test statistics.

The decision on the magnitude of dividend has been identified to be highly related to the decisions to pay or not to pay dividends in formulating dividend policy. However, literature seems to be homogeneous and focused on examining the effect of ownership structure on dividend level or probability of paying dividends. Therefore, the paper examines the effect of ownership structure on dividend policy using Heckman’s two-stage technique. Utilizing 304 firm-year observations from industrial and consumer goods firms listed in the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period within 2009-2019, the result shows that in the first stage, only foreign ownership has a negative significant effect on the probability of paying dividends. However, after accounting for a possible correlation between the probability of paying dividends and dividend pay-out, the result on the second stage exhibits a significant negative effect with block-holders and foreign ownerships on dividend policy while institutional ownership reveals a positive significant effect. The overall results show that the lower the foreign ownership the higher the possibility of paying dividends. Also, higher dividend pay-out is associated with the lower level of block-holders and foreign ownerships coupled with higher institutional ownership in listed industrial and consumer goods firms in Nigeria.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the adaptive market efficiency in the price–volume (P–V) relationship of the stocks listed in the Mexican Stock Exchange. The period under study goes from 1982 to 2015. In order to detect causality and, thus, determine adaptive efficiency in the market, one linear and two non-linear tests are applied. There are few papers in the literature that study the P–V relationship in Latin American markets; as such, this paper may be of interest and importance to financial academics and practitioners alike. Design/methodology/approach The Diks and Panchenko (DP) non-parametric Granger causality and the Brooks and Hinich (BH) cross-bicorrelation tests are applied. Findings Derived from the DP test, the findings show that there exists bi-directional non-linear Granger causality in 25.71 per cent of the firms studied, compared to 8 per cent when applying the linear Granger causality test. Therefore, there is evidence of weak-form efficiency in the market. From the BH test, evidence is shown of the adaptive market efficiency, since 71.42 per cent of firms exhibited some form of non-linear dependence in certain periods of time. With these results, the information process should be better studied for a greater comprehension of regulatory policies in the market and better decision-making tools for the investors. Originality/value This paper complements studies on the P–V relationship and efficiency in a Latin American market.
