Intellectual capital has become a fundamental source for enterprises, but its measurement and reporting remain a major challenge for managers and researchers. The purpose of this paper is to examine and report the differences in the Intellectual Capital (IC) Market Value (MV) to Book Value (BV) of the Polish WIG 20 indexed companies from Warsaw Stock Exchange. The data necessary to perform the calculations in accordance with the MV/PV method came from the financial statements for the period 2010-2014 of 20 Polish companies. The MV/BV method provides the means to measure intellectual capital in a precise and timely calculation and is particularly useful for the companies that are listed on the stock market. Results are presented and followed by discussion and implication for future research.

Behavioral finance is a recent approach in financial markets that have appeared because of the complexities long faced by the traditional or neoclassical finance theory. This paper investigates the influence of investor sentiment and herding behaviour on stock market liquidity using an empirical study on the Egyptian Stock Market. We examine the direct impact of Egyptian investor sentiment on the Egyptian Stock Market liquidity. As well as the indirect impact of the Egyptian investor sentiment on the Egyptian Stock Market liquidity through the Egyptian investor herding behaviour. Therefore, the major contribution is filling the gap of indirect sentiment-liquidity impact conflict. We use the monthly data of the EGX30 index from January 2004 up to December 2018 for building up investor sentiment index, investor herding behaviour, and stock market liquidity measures. Moreover, we are using two additional types of data (closed-end mutual fund discounts and the equity open-end mutual fund flows) that represent major measures which are used to build up investor sentiment index ranging through the same time-series of the previously mentioned period of this paper. Additionally, we use four control variables for stock market liquidity, namely market volatility, excess market return, term spread, and lag of the dependent variable, considering that the fourth variable is also used for investor herding behaviour. Our result shows that the investor sentiment index has both a direct and indirect impact on stock market liquidity. In addition, regarding event study analysis’ results, there are different signs of the direct and indirect impacts and different correlations between the research variables throughout the four different events that differ completely from the usual signs and correlations of the theoretical background.

Growth of a country is dependent upon growth of industries which, in turn, depends upon capital market conditions because this market is going to give an element which is most important for the success and failure of every industry i.e., funds. The Australian Securities Exchange market is the largest exchange in the world with market capitalisation of more than A$ 1.5 trillion. It is the finest and most advanced and automated exchange of the world. India is also having sophisticated stock exchange which is National Stock Exchange. The present paper made an attempt to investigate financial integration between NSE and ASX stock market taking daily closing index of ASX and NSE. The descriptive statistics showed NSE market provides slightly higher returns than ASX market. The results of Granger causality show that ASX does not Ganger cause return at NSE and NSE also does not Granger cause return at ASX. The Johansen Co-integration test also speaks about no co-integration between them. Therefore, during the study we did not find a strong financial integration between both the nations’ stock market.
