The article highlights the factors of the classification of issuers and their securities (forms of circulation and admission to trading, listing, publicity, type of offering, liquidity, objectivity of pricing) in the context of determining the reasons for the limited number of instruments in Ukraine's regulated market and signs of its unattractiveness for issuers and investors. The author defines peculiarities of the formation and structure of investment portfolios of financial institutions and other investors (in comparison with international indicators) and difficulties of the valuation and diversification of assets. It has been revealed that a sharp reduction in the number of issuers and financial intermediaries (through variable legislation, increased regulatory requirements and controversial enforcement) led to a reduction in liquidity and competition, an increase in transaction costs, and did not contribute to market development, its infrastructure, and the objectivity of pricing. The emphasis is on the conventionalities of market benchmarks (stock indexes of shares, total capitalization) in Ukraine due to the limited financial instruments, lack of public companies, scanty liquidity, high volatility and artificiality of pricing. Indicated various signs of illiquidity of Ukraine's regulated stock market in comparison with world trading platforms (first of all, in relation to shares), as well as reasons of irregularity of the trades, mainly the purpose oriented conclusion of agreements, absence of active market and actual prices (in particular, due to unsatisfactory regulation of exchange pricing). However, it is worth emphasizing the significant role of government bonds that differ from other securities in Ukraine in that they have increased liquidity, strong investor demand, more predictability and price adequacy, which is a sufficiently anticipated factor for an underdeveloped stock market. The author highlights peculiarities and problems of pricing in the underdeveloped stock market, which considerably complicate the task of counteracting market abuse, in particular due to total illiquidity, the absence of contradiction in the implementation of international practice, and subjectivity of the existing regulatory criteria for the detection of manipulation.

AbstractIn this paper we reconsider the idea of an earnings-related pension system with reserves invested in indexed government bonds as a mechanism to both ensure financial sustainability and improve security. The paper starts by reviewing the characterization of the sustainable rate of return of an earnings-related pension system with pay-as-you-go financing. We show that current proxies for the sustainable rate, including the Swedish ‘gyroscope’, are not stable and propose an alternative measure that depends on the growth of the buffer-stock and the pay-as-you-go asset. Using a simple one-sector macroeconomic model that embeds a notional account pension system we then show how GDP-indexed government bonds, if combined with the right measure for the sustainable rate of return on contributions, could be used to generate a sustainable and secure earnings-related pension system, without becoming a fiscal burden. The proposal is particularly attractive for countries considering reforms to earnings-related systems that have accumulated a large implicit pension debt. In this case, the government bonds allow the financing of this debt in a transparent way. The proposed mechanism can also facilitate the transition to a fully funded pension system when the government bonds are allowed to be traded.

AbstractInvestment in research and development (R&D) plays a vital role in economic growth. Therefore, the crucial role of government is to encourage companies to develop new knowledge, skills, and innovations in order to achieve greater competitiveness, employment creation, and economic development. The aim of this paper is to determine whether R&D subsidies contribute to corporate performance and ascertain whether the relationship between the amount of R&D subsidies and corporate performance is moderated by Slovenian cohesion (NUTS 2 level) and statistical (NUTS 3 level) regions. This paper ultimately tries to classify statistical regions within meaningful groups. Using an OLS regression, a unique dataset of 407 Slovenian companies is analysed for 2014. The empirical results reveal that R&D subsidies have a positive impact on corporate performance and confirm that cohesion and statistical regions can moderate the effect of R&D subsidy on corporate performance. Moreover, the paper provides for the classification of Slovenian statistical regions into four groups.

Volatility of stock exchange and its determinants always attract the attention of investors, researchers and exchange authorities. The research estimates the volatility of Vietnam stock market by measuring the conditional volatility of VN-Index and HNX-Index, and explores the relationship between the volatility of stock exchanges and the volatility of two instruments of monetary policy (overnight rate and exchange rate). Data are collected on a daily basis from Jan. 5, 2006 to March 31, 2014. The research found evidence of volatility of returns through the two indexes and two instruments, but it detected no relationship between the volatilities of these instruments and the stock indexes. Additionally, the research confirms the role of VN-Index as a market maker over HNX-Index.
