This chapter examines the relationship between stock market value of domestic firms traded in stock markets in OECD countries and stock index for 1990-2018 period. As a result of Pedroni Panel Cointegration and Dumitrescu-Hurlin Panel Causality Analysis, there is a relationship between the market values of domestic firms traded on the stock exchange and the stock index. In addition, a two-way causality relationship was found. This situation indicates that this relationship is very powerful. It can be understood that adding domestic companies to the stock market has a significant effect on the stock prices and this will attract foreign investors to enter the market.

Risk captured through the volatility of stock markets stands as the essential concern for financial investors. The financial crisis of 2008 demonstrated that stock markets are highly integrated. Slovakia, Hungary and Poland went through identical centralist economic arrangement, but nowadays operate under diverse stock markets, monetary system and tax structure. The study aims to measure the risk level of the Slovak Stock Market (SAX index), Budapest Stock Exchange (BUX index) and Poland Stock Market (WIG20 index) based on the portfolio diversification model. Results of the study provide information on the diversification benefits generated when SAX, BUX and WIG20 join their stock markets. The study considers that each stock index represents an independent portfolio. Portfolios are built to stand on the available companies that are listed on each stock index from 2007 till 2017. The results of the study show that BUX generates the lowest risk and highest weighted average return. In contrast, SAX is the riskiest portfolio but generates the lowest weighted average return. The results find that the stock prices of BUX have larger positive correlation than the stock prices of SAX. Moreover, the highest diversification benefits are realized when Portfolio SAX joins Portfolio BUX and the lowest diversification benefits are achieved when SAX joins WIG20.

This study sought to analyze the impact of oil price fluctuations on the performance of the Saudi Stock Exchange by analyzing the impact of oil price fluctuations on the volume of trading, the market index and the prices of shares of listed companies in the market. The study used the inductive method to derive hypotheses, and the method of quantitative analysis to test the validity of these hypotheses. The study found that the fluctuations in oil prices do not explain the variation in the performance of the financial market (volume and market index) or the performance of companies listed in the Saudi Stock Exchange (stock prices). The study explained this result in the light of investor interest in other factors such as the financial performance of companies, the results of companies' business, dividends and others, and ignoring the impact of oil price fluctuations. The study recommended testing the relationship between the performance of the financial market and the factors influencing it such as dividends, market values ​​of stocks and other factors.

The authors develop an empirical study based on Event System Theory (Morgeson, Mitchell & Liu, 2015), which allows a clearer consideration of specific nature of each exogenous shock and crisis, such as its criticality and geographical proximity. More importantly, they highlight the importance of considering industry characteristics when studying how exogenous shocks and crises may impact both accounting and stock-market performances of companies. Finally, when testing the impacts of economic or political shocks respectively, the authors also take into account the effect of company resources. After analyzing data from companies listed in the New York Stock Exchange, they gain interesting insights: (1) Exogenous shocks and crises with high event criticality are more likely to impact company performance. (2) Exogenous shocks and crises with high event proximity are more likely to impact company performance. (3) Exogenous shocks and crises impact in different directions on a company's accounting performance and stock market performance. Finally, (4) Exogenous shocks and crises make salient the relationship between a firm's resources and its performance, while the relationship is contingent on industry characteristics (i.e., industrial-regulative mechanisms).

This chapter empirically examines the relationship between stock prices and stock volumes for Borsa Istanbul, the only stock exchange in Turkey. The price-volume debate has been a common focus in the literature as the chicken-egg dilemma probably since the financial markets started to operate in a competitive manner. This chapter employs Borsa Istanbul and also considers the sector indices of the market. The authors employ frequency domain causality analysis of Breitung and Candelon and wavelet coherence analysis of Grinsted et al. with comparisons of the results for each sector. The findings show that (1) it is hard to argue for the existence of a distinct pattern in an emerging stock market like Borsa Istanbul; (2) there are several periods that propose challenges like the increasing foreign share, foreign shocks transmitted to the domestic market, and local effects; and (3) speculation is an inherit part of stock markets; and it is not possible to get rid of but rather act timely to minimize the adverse consequences and to deter market-wide repercussions.

The paper discusses the links between stock market performance and real economic activity and presents results of an empirical inquiry into dynamic relationships between the main stock index quoted on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WIG) and GDP in Poland over the years 1995–2019. In many empirical studies for highly developed countries not only short‑run dynamic interactions but also a long‑run cointegrating relationship between the stock index and output have been found. Previous studies for Poland reported mainly short‑run linkages between stock returns and changes of economic activity whereas the evidence for a long‑run cointegrating relationship is still quite scarce. In this paper, the VAR‑VECM methodology with the Johansen tests for cointegration is used to study a substantially longer quarterly data interval than has been investigated so far. Research results show that stock returns Granger‑cause GDP growth with up to three‑quarters lead. The evidence for the existence of a long‑term cointegrating relationship has also been found.

This paper provides the relationship between macroeconomic variables, including exchange rate, BI rate and inflation, and stocks performance, particulary bluechip stocks listed in LQ45 index in Indonesia Stock Exchange. The study particularly gives insights on bluechip stocks listed in LQ45 stock price index in Indonesia Stock Exchange between 2015 and 2017. The data were obtained from various sources during the period, including the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX), the Central Bank of Indonesia (BI), and the Ministry of Trade. This study followed a Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) attempting to estimate the relationship between variables both in the short term and in the long term. The findings of the study showed that in the long run, exchange rate, BI rate and inflation have a negative impact on stock market performance, particularly on LQ45 index in Indonesia Stock Exchange. It implies that an increase in macroeconomic variables results in the decline of stock market performance. Meanwhile, in the short run, two variables, namely the exchange rate and inflation, positively affect stock market performance in Indonesia. On the contrary, the relationship between BI rate and stock market performance showed a negative correlation. These findings have significant implication for the understanding of how macroeconomic variables affect the stock market performance, particularly LQ45 price index in Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of Indian investor sentiments on contemporaneous stock returns of Bombay Stock Exchange, National Stock Exchange and various sectoral indices in India by developing a sentiment index. Design/methodology/approach The study uses principal component analysis to develop a sentiment index as a proxy for Indian stock market sentiments over a time frame from April 1996 to January 2017. It uses an exploratory approach to identify relevant proxies in building a sentiment index using indirect market measures and macro variables of Indian and US markets. Findings The study finds that there is a significant positive correlation between the sentiment index and stock index returns. Sectors which are more dependent on institutional fund flows show a significant impact of the change in sentiments on their respective sectoral indices. Research limitations/implications The study has used data at a monthly frequency. Analysing higher frequency data can explain short-term temporal dynamics between sentiments and returns better. Further studies can be done to explore whether sentiments can be used to predict stock returns. Practical implications The results imply that one can develop profitable trading strategies by investing in sectors like metals and capital goods, which are more susceptible to generate positive returns when the sentiment index is high. Originality/value The study supplements the existing literature on the impact of investor sentiments on contemporaneous stock returns in the context of a developing market. It identifies relevant proxies of investor sentiments for the Indian stock market.

The objective of this research is to investigate the relationship between illiquidity and stock prices on the Tunisian stock exchange. While previous researches tended to focus on one form of illiquidity to examine this relationship, our study unifies three forms of illiquidity at the same time. Indeed, we simultaneously consider illiquidity as systematic risk, as a characteristic of the market, and as a characteristic of the stock. The aggregate illiquidity of the market is the average of individual stock illiquidity. The illiquidity risk is the sensitivity of the stock price to illiquidity shocks. Shocks of market illiquidity are estimated by the innovations in the expected market illiquidity. Results show that investors on the Tunisian stock exchange do not require higher returns when they expect a rise of market illiquidity, whereas investors on U.S markets are compensated for higher expected market illiquidity. In addition, shocks of market illiquidity provoke a fall in stock prices of small caps, while large caps are not sensitive to market illiquidity shocks. This differs slightly from results based on U.S. data where illiquidity shocks reduce all stock prices but most notably those of small caps. Robustness tests validate our findings. Our results are consistent with previous studies which reported that the “zero-return” ratio predicts significantly the return-illiquidity relationship on emerging markets.
