"ABSTRAKThis paper evaluates monetary policy transmission in both tranquil and turbulent periods for Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey. Using a structural vector autoregressive model, we find that the effect of structural shocks from supply, demand, and financial sources tend to fizzle out faster for Nigeria and Mexico compared to Indonesia and Turkey. Another important finding is that while monetary authorities in Indonesia and Turkey are more responsive to inflation those in Mexico and Nigeria are more influenced by the exchange rate. We also observe differences in the conduct of monetary policy between the tranquil and turbulent periods."

"ABSTRAKWe use a generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity dummy approach to analyze the influence of calendar anomalies on conditional daily returns and risk for the stock markets of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa from 1996 to 2018. Month-of-the-year, turn-of-the-month, day-of-the-week, and holiday effects are investigated. The most striking day-of-the-week effect is found for Tuesdays. The turn-of-the-month effect is validated, while, interestingly, we find no evidence of a January effect. A general holiday effect is not documented, but the Indian market shows a significant pre- and post-holiday effect, the Chinese market is anomalous before public holidays, and the South African market is affected only after holidays."

"Using the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data of 82 Indonesian cities, we propose the hypothesis of heterogeneity in the cities’ contribution to the aggregate Indonesian CPI. Using a price discovery model fitted to monthly data, we discover that (1) of the 23 cities in the province of Sumatera, five contribute 44% and nine contribute 66.7% to price changes, and (2) of the 26 cities in Java, four alone contribute 41.6% to price changes. Even in smaller provinces, such as Bali and Nusa Tenggara, one city alone dominates the change in aggregate CPI. From these results, we draw implications for maintaining price stability."

"ABSTRAKThe expected equity risk premium is a key input in various financial applications. Different methods exist for estimating the risk premium. This paper applies two approaches to estimate it in the markets of Greater China. More specifically, the historical average and relative estimation are carefully examined. The first approach is applied to estimate the equity risk premium when the markets are recovering from a trough. Then the relative estimation approach is applied to justify those findings, taking into consideration the lower rate of return required of Chinese investors due to a lack of investment opportunities. After these adjustments, the risk premium in Mainland China is found to be close to those in Hong Kong and Taiwan. All of these markets have a higher risk premium than in the US market. The risk premiums for the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets are about 8% and 10%, respectively. The risk premiums for the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets are 8% and 9% compared to a long-term forward-looking risk premium of about 4% for the US market."

"This study estimates the forward-looking monetary policy reaction function for Sri Lanka using monthly data from 1980 to 2017. The results indicate that the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) followed the Taylor rule to set interest rates. Our forwardlooking model estimations show that the coefficient on inflation increases over time, reflecting the greater focus on price stability by the bank. The results suggest that the CBSL reacted to nominal exchange rate depreciation by tightening monetary policy. Although the degree of interest rate smoothness gradually decreases over time, the study shows that the CBSL did not react to movements in fiscal deficit during the period under investigation. This finding suggests that the inclusion of fiscal deficit in the Taylor rule does not provide a better specification of the policy reaction function in Sri Lanka."

"Abstract. This research examines the behavior of stock returns and trading volumes around the ex-dates of rightsissue offerings by firms listed in Jakarta Stock Exchange (now is known as Indonesia Stock Exchange, after themerger with Surabaya Stock Exchange) in the period of 2002-2007. This research describes the effect of warrantsissue which is combined with some rights issue. The methods of research used are event study, to examine thebehavior of abnormal returns and trading volumes around the ex-dates of rights issue; and regression, to helpdiscriminate among various hypotheses and identify factors that explain the abnormal stock returns associatedwith rights issue. The results are categorized in three sample groups: (1) a group of firms issuing rights withwarrant, (2) a group of firms issuing rights without warrants, and (3) a group of firms issuing rights in between2001-2006. Abnormal returns in this research are associated negatively with the amount of capital raise relativeto existing capital, and positively with the stock returns variance and the offer price as a fraction of firm?s stockprice."
