Analisis Fundamental Cryptocurrency terhadap Fluktuasi Harga: Studi Kasus Tahun 2019-2020

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze cryptocurrency fundamentals against price fluctuations (case study 2019-2020). Research Methodology: The data in the research paper were accessed on the coinmarketcap.com website. The sample of this research is Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Results: The results show that: 1) Bitcoin Market Cap, Ethereum Market Cap, Litecoin Market Cap, Bitcoin Cash Market Cap have a positive and significant effect on price fluctuations. 2) Bitcoin Volume and Bitcoin Cash Volume have a positive and insignificant effect on price fluctuations. 3) Ethereum volume has a positive and significant effect on price fluctuations. 4) Litecoin volume has a negative and significant effect on price fluctuations. Limitations: Further researchers are expected to add variables such as (global macroeconomics, cryptocurrency Blockchain technology changes, psychological factors), different variables (quantitative and qualitative) and combine models to predict cryptocurrency price fluctuations by analyzing them fundamentally and technically. Contribution: This research implies that cryptocurrencies with highly speculative prices have the same fundamental value as the stock price.

The Ins and Outs of Measuring Income Inequality in the United States

Although measuring income inequality seems straightforward and uncontroversial, methodological issues greatly affect findings. This chapter shows that changes in real median income between 1979 and 2014 across six studies varied from negative 8 percent to positive 51 percent. Furthermore, the share of growth going to the top ten percent during these years in four studies ranged from 31 percent to 100 percent. The first choice that researchers make is choosing a dataset or linked datasets. This choice affects the income sharing unit, be it households, families, individuals, or tax units. The next choice is the definition of income, with the starting point being cash market income only—earnings, dividends, rents, interest payments, or business profits. This total can be expanded by including government cash benefits, employer benefits, the rental value of home ownership, and government and financial services that people don’t pay for. Even after the income concept is chosen, income can be presented as adjusted for family size and either before or after taxes. Finally, adjusting for inflation to change nominal incomes into inflation-adjusted incomes can be performed in a variety of ways.

The Secret Menu in Health Care: A Cash Market for Imaging in California

In addition to the prices they negotiate with private health insurers, most providers also have a cash price schedule for patients who have the wherewithal to ask and are willing to pay in full when they receive a service. This is the first study that estimates the potential cost saving of allowing privately-insured consumers to observe both in-network negotiated prices and cash prices, which is of particular interest given the growing importance of high-deductible health plans and a recent executive order mandating greater price transparency. Using data from five private health insurers and 142 imaging facilities in the San Francisco Bay Area, we estimate that patients could save between 10% and 22% of their insurer’s in-network price by paying cash. Potential savings are much larger (between 45% and 64% of their insurer’s in-network price) if consumers observe both cash and in-network prices and select the facility in the region offering the lowest price for a particular service.

Evolution of Real Estate Derivatives and Their Pricing

Real estate derivatives have the potential to stabilize one of the most influential risks present in economies worldwide—real estate risk. Commercial and residential real estate represent a very large proportion of wealth in developed economies. In this article, the authors revisit the evolution of these instruments and describe the state of the art in modeling how they should be priced. The property derivatives market is still underdeveloped by comparison with its corresponding cash market, one main reason commonly cited being the lack of flexible and robust theoretical approaches that can be easily applied in practice. In recent years, several models have been proposed for pricing real estate derivatives, and this article reviews the most important ones. In addition, the authors highlight a discrete-time model that can be easily set up and applied for pricing real estate derivatives employing Monte Carlo simulation. It is reasonable to expect that the expanding literature on real estate derivatives valuation will provide the framework needed for this market to grow.

Analisis Penerimaan Teknologi E-retribusi Pasar dengan Pendekatan Theory of Reasoned Action

The Trade Service The Salatiga City Government applies non-cash market retribution (market e-retribution) in improving the quality of services that are transparent and accountable in traditional markets. Given that there has been no research discussing the acceptance of market e-retribution technology, this issue can be an interesting topic to study. Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) is used as a conceptual model in this study with the aim of investigating the factors that influence the acceptance of market e-retribution technology in traditional market traders in the city of Salatiga. The results of this study indicate that perceptions of usefulness, perception of self-efficacy and subjective norms have a positive effect, but are not statistically significant, while perceptions of compatibility and attitude have a positive and statistically significant effect

The Scarcity Value of Treasury Collateral: Repo-Market Effects of Security-Specific Supply and Demand Factors

We quantify the scarcity value of Treasury collateral by estimating the impact of security-specific demand and supply factors on the specific collateral repurchase agreement (repo) rates of all outstanding U.S. Treasury securities. We find a positive and significant scarcity premium for on- and off-the-run Treasuries that persists for approximately 3 months and is larger in magnitude for shorter-term securities. This scarcity effect seems to pass through to Treasury cash market prices, providing additional evidence for the scarcity channel of quantitative easing (QE). On the contrary, the Federal Reserve’s reverse repo operations could help reduce the scarcity premium by alleviating potential shortages of high-quality collateral.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS FUTURES AS AN INSTRUMENT OF HEDGING AGAINST PRICE RISK? -A STUDY BASED ON SPOT AND FUTURE PRICES OF GOLD

This paper examines the role of commodity futures market as an instrument of hedging against price risk. Hedging is the practice of offsetting the price risk in a cash market by taking an opposite position in the futures market. By taking a position in the futures market, which is opposite to the position held in the spot market, the producer can offset the losses in the latter with the gains in the former. Both static and time varying hedge ratios have been calculated using VECM-MGARCH model. Variance of return from hedge portfolio has been found to be low. Further hedging effectiveness has been observed to be around 12%.
