The question that the present study attempts to examine, concerns whether investors value the potential of Greek enterprises to produce innovation, in a way that it could lead them to higher productivity, profitability and future growth. An answer to such a question, seems to bear significance for a country that tries to understand the reasons for an underachieving economy, struggling for growth, both macro and microeconomic. If the answer is positive, this means that investors are affected in their decision for buying or selling a stock by the growth prospect that innovation, expressed with R&D spending, creates for an enterprise. R&D expenditures are used in this study, since they represent the enterprises input for the creation of innovation (Acs & Audretsch, 1988) and therefore, the effort for future development and firm growth. The approach employed, follows the same rationale as Green et al, (1996) and Stark and Thomas (1998) do. The R&D data that we have utilized, are collected from all the Athens Stock Exchange, (henceforth ASE), public firms for the period 2005-2010 that spend on R&D. The results, unlike previous research, depict a strong negative relation between R&D expenditures and stock price. In other words, investors in this Eurozone country do not consider R&D expenditures to be creators of innovation that will result in future growth, but they seem to be affected negatively in their assessment of the firms financial condition by R&D spending.

Dividend policy is a critical and imperative decision because it involves the shareholders interest’s and has a significant impact to company's sustainability. Sartono (2010) states that dividend policy is a decision whether the profits obtained by the company will be distributed to shareholders as dividend or will be held in the form of retained earnings for future investment.Brigham and Gapenski (2006) state that investor’s main purpose when investing their fund is to gain income or return either as dividend yield or as capital gain. On the other side, the company who will share the dividend will be faced with various consideration: the urge to retain some profit for a more promising re-investment, the company funding, company liquidity, shareholder’s characteristic, specific target related to dividend payment ratio, and other factors related to dividend policy.Based on the definition mentioned above, it can be concluded that dividend policy is influenced by two conflicting interests; the shareholders interest with their dividend and the company interest to do re-investment by retaining the profit. Therefore, dividends paid will depend on each company’s considerations.In general, the shareholders wish to have a relatively stable dividend share to minimize the uncertainty of expected investment result and to increase the shareholder’s trust toward the company so that the stock value will rise. The company dividend policy can be reflected by the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR), which is the profit percentage shared in the form of cash dividend. It means that the size of the DPR, either big or small, will affect the shareholder’s decision and to the contrary it will also affect the company financial condition. Improper decisions will potentially envisage company facing funding difficulties in the future.According to Brigham and Gapenski (2006), the optimum dividend policy is the dividend policy which creating balance between the current dividend and its growth in the future so the company stock price can be maximized.Lintner (1956) argue that the company ability to gain profit is the main indicator of the company ability to pay dividend. So, the profitability is the most determining factor toward dividend. But some other research mention that the companies tend to choose new investment instead of paying high dividend if their condition are great, well-developed and have high profitability.The rapid growth of Islamic Finance become the first-rate consideration of choosing Jakarta Islamic Index stocks as the object research in which this research aimed to improve investor’s understanding related to dividend policy of sharia stocks member of Jakarta Islamic Index.

The impact of the Greek political elections on the return and volatility of the Athens Stock Exchange (ASE) is investigated using both the standard event study methodology and various univariate GARCH models. The empirical results reveal positive pre- and post-election abnormal returns, but negative on the day of the election. Strong evidence is also found that suggests that the election outcome significantly affects the ASE return; however, the evidence is rather limited for the ASE volatility. The empirical findings raise doubts about the efficiency of the Greek stock market and might have important implications for investors with respect to decisions regarding entering and/or exiting the market or investment strategies around time periods where political elections are going to take place
