"This paper is motivated by the fact that emerging market assets size has been expanding and tryingto use sovereign debt market as part of capital market as main research focus. It is highlightingthe distinction between default and non-default determinants and examining their significance inexplaining emerging market sovereign bond yield spread. Using Cross-Sectional Fixed-Effect PanelEstimator, we found that both default (as proxied by Credit Rating and Outlook Index) and non-default(as proxied by 3-month Fed Funds Futures) determinants has significant explanatory power tosovereign bond yield spread. Extensively, we also found the significance to add volatility of 3-monthFed Funds Futures and Fed Target Rate basis and volatility of advanced stock markets as variablesto stand for non-default determinants in the model. The significance of the latter model is strengthenedby higher forecasting as well as indicates the significant role of US market to emerging marketsovereign bond market."

The negative effect of diversification on ROA is higher in the group of companies with higher ROA. The different results show that when using Tobin?s Q as a measure of companies? performances, diversification gives negative impact to companies? performance in the intermediate level."

"This article contributes to country specific result on the responses of sector stock indices to crudeoil price changes. Using linear and asymmetric models and by studying the association of crude oiland stock price, this article aims to explain about the short-term responses of Indonesian sector stockindices to crude oil price changes. Besides, we also try to figure out whether there are asymmetricresponses within.

Each portfolioconstructed from 15 stocks based on FTSE 100 using data from year 1997. Mean-variance portfoliooptimization is employed with some financial ratios added as constraints for the Shari’ah portfolio.Annual expected return of each portfolio from 2008 to 2013 is used to calculate Sharpe’s ratio,Treynor ratio and Jensen’s alpha as the performance measurement tools.

"Dampak financial deepening terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi telah menjadi debat selama beberapa dekade. Penelitian ini menganalisa dampak financial deepening terhadap pertumbuhan ekonomi tingkat propinsi di Indonesia periode tahun 2001 sampai dengan 2016. Penggunaan data level propinsi selain jarang ditemukan dalam literature juga untuk mengurangi heterogeinitas yang tidak teramati pada data cross section antar negara. Pendekatan financial deepening dalam penelitian ini dibatasi pada sisi perbankan mengingat dalam sistem keuangan Indonesia, peran perbankan masih sangat dominan dibandingkan sektor keuangan lainnya. Melalui pendekatan data panel, diperoleh hasil bahwa terdapat korelasi positif yang signifikan antara financial deepening dengan pertumbuhan ekonomi regional yang mendukung hipotesa supply leading (finance-led growth) pada penelitian-penelitian sebelumnya. Dalam kaitan ini diperlukan langkah serius pemerintah untuk terus melakukan pendalaman pasar keuangan domestik khususnya melalui sektor perbankan agar mampu memberikan dampak positif bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi.

Impact of financial deepening to economic growth has been a debate for decades. This research analyzes the impact of financial deepening on provincial-level economic growth in Indonesia from 2001 to 2016. Besides The use of provincial level data is rarely found in the literature, the use of provincial-level data is also intended to reduce unobserved heterogeneity in cross-sectional data between countries. The financial deepening approach in this study is limited to the banking side considering that in Indonesia's banking sector is still very dominant compared to other financial sector. By Using data panel approach, the ratio between liquid liabilities to gross regional domestic product (PDRB) and the ratio between credits distributed by the banking sector to PDRB as a measurement of financial deepening, found a significant positive correlation between financial deepening with regional economic growth that supports supply lead hypothesis (finance-led growth) in previous studies. In this regard, Government must be seriously to enhance policy in order to deepen the domestic financial market, especially through the banking sector to encouraging economic growth."
