Financial liberalization and stock markets efficiency: New evidence from emerging economies

This paper aims to assess the impact of financial liberalization on the degree of informational efficiency in emerging stock markets while considering three types of financial crises, i.e. banking, currency and twin crises. To this end, a treatment effects model with time-varying parameters is estimated for 13 emerging economies from January 1986 to December 2008. Empirical results show that there is a greater efficiency in recent years and that financial liberalization not only improves the degree of efficiency but also reduces the probability of financial crises. They also suggest that improving efficiency depends upon several internal characteristics.
Determinants of Dividend Policy Evidence from Polish Listed.[taliem.ir]

Determinants of Dividend Policy: Evidence from Polish Listed Companies

Dividend policy has been still a controversial issue in corporate finance. The question, when and why do firms pay dividends, is still valid. Vast literature has examined the dividend policies of firms from developed countries, especially from U.S. Relatively little research has yet been published examining the dividend policies of companies from emerging countries. The main goal of this paper is to examine cash dividend payments of Polish listed companies. In this study, panel data analysis is applied to investigate the determinants of dividend policies of Polish companies. The paper also explains the impact of different factors on dividend policy on Polish market. Moreover, it tries to examine whether the same factors (profitability, liquidity, size, leverage of the firm) affect dividend payout decisions on Polish market as on developed countries.
The influence of price limits on overreaction in emerging markets[taliem.ir]

The influence of price limits on overreaction in emerging markets: Evidence from the Egyptian stock market

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the influence of price limits on the overreaction hypothesis in the Egyptian Stock Exchange (EGX) during the period 1999–2010. I find evidence of the overreaction anomaly in the EGX within different price limit regimes. Price reversal is observed two and three days post lower and upper limit hits respectively within the strict price limits regime. However, it occurs after one day only for both lower and upper limit hits within the circuit breakers regime. These results support the directional effect hypothesis as large stock price movements are followed by price reversals in the opposite direction. Moreover, the results support the magnitude effect hypothesis as the larger the initial price movements the greater the subsequent reversals.
