Investigating Causal Linkages Between International Stock Markets in Hungary and Austria in Terms of Economic Globalization

The main aim of this chapter is to examine causal linkages between selected stock markets of Hungary and Austria in terms of economic globalization. The sample databases cover a long time period from January 2000 to December 2013. The selected ATX stock index represents Austria index, while BUX represents the main stock index of Hungary. The empirical findings highlighted that stock market in Hungary is significantly more volatile and provides comparatively higher investing opportunities for financial asset returns. There are strong evidences of no casual linkages between selected markets of Austria and Hungary. The econometric analysis includes BDS and Granger causality tests. The results are classified in a comparative manner. This book chapter will support decision makings on escalation ratios depending on the international financial market transmitting patterns.

Abstract Temporary fluctuations of the US consumption-wealth ratio do not only predict excess returns on the US but also international stock markets at the business cycle frequency. This finding is the reflection of a common, temporary component in national stock markets. Exposure to this common component explains up to 50% of the pairwise covariation among long-horizon returns on the G7 stock markets for the time period from 1970 to 2008. This latter finding is less pronounced in the post-1990s period.

Many studies have questioned empirical utilization of accounting data, as internal rates of return would be more consistent with the relevant economic concept. The paper investigates the dynamic relationships between different measures of accounting rates of return (ARRs) and an estimated internal rate of return (IRR). In contrast with the prevailing case-study investigations, we consider a panel for quoted Brazilian firms in the manufacturing industry for the 1988-3/2003-2 period. Granger causality tests are considered and the results indicate a bi-directional causality pattern when ROA (Net Profits/Total Assets) is considered as the accounting measure. This seems to indicate that there is some validity in using accounting rates of return in certain economic settings, especially when long time series are considered.

This research explores the relationship among the bio-energy company stock index in Taiwan, TAIEX, DJI, Nikkei 225 and SSE composite index for a period from January 1, 2005 to March 11, 2008. Test results indicate two things are noteworthy: 1. Granger causality tests show that the interaction between the bio-energy company stock index in Taiwan and TAIEX is one-way only; however, that between the bio-energy company stock index in Taiwan and DJI is two-way. 2. According to the results of variance decompositions, though TAIEX has the highest explanation power; nevertheless, the explanation strength tends to decrease. On the contrary, DJI and Nikkei 225 manifest constantly increasing strength in explanation. Accordingly, the influence of DJI upon the bio-energy company stock index in Taiwan keeps rising and can’t be ignored.
