Ding, Thomas H. McInish, Udomsak Wongchoti We investigate whether behavioral postulations offer any implicit explanation of the country varying relation between trading volume and price pattern among short horizon winners/losers in seven Pacific Basin markets during the period 1990 to Our findings İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 2

3 lend credence to the Lee and Swaminathan [Lee, C. and Swaminathan, B., Price momentum and trading volume, Journal of Finance 55, ] Momentum Life Cycle explanation that high (low) volume winners (losers) are more likely to experience price reversals, whereas high (low) volume losers (winners), price momentum, in the subsequent period. This observation is especially pronounced in Hong Kong. Other models such as those based on an information diffusion process and overconfidence in glamour stocks offer limited explanation for the relation. 2. Implicit behavioral explanations 3.

Conclusion Stochastic dominance analysis of Asian hedge funds Pages Wing Keung Wong, Kok Fai Phoon, Hooi Hooi Lean İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 3

4 We employ the stochastic dominance approach that utilizes the entire return distribution to rank the performance of Asian hedge funds as traditional mean variance and CAPM approaches could be inappropriate given the nature of non normal returns. We find both first order and higher order stochastic dominance relationships amongst the funds and conclude that investors would be better off by investing in the first order dominant funds to maximize their expected wealth. By investing in higher order dominant funds, risk averse investors can maximize their expected utilities but not their wealth. In addition, we find the common characteristic for most pairs of funds is that one fund is preferred to another in the negative domain whereas the preference reverses in the positive domain. We conclude that the stochastic dominance approach is more appropriate compared with traditional approaches as a filter in hedge fund selection. Compared with traditional approaches, the SD approach, not only is assumption free, but also provides greater insights to the performance and risk inherent in a hedge fund's track record. 2.

5 In a recent theoretical paper, Sherman [Sherman, A.E., 2005, Global trends in IPO methods: Book building versus auctions with endogenous entry, Journal of Financial Economics 78, ] proposes that: If book building leads to greater expected underpricing relative to uniform price or discriminatory auctions, then it should also lead to less volatility in aftermarket trading. In this paper, we study a Japanese sample and find that book built IPOs exhibit greater underpricing and higher aftermarket volatility compared to pricediscriminatory auctions. Aftermarket volatility wanes with seasoning in both sub samples, but the book built volatility levels are persistently higher than those for auctions for as long as one year after the IPO issue date. 2.

Conclusion Acknowledgements The impact of corporate governance on corporate performance: Evidence from Japan Pages Rob Bauer, Bart Frijns, Rogér Otten, Alireza Tourani Rad Employing a unique data set provided by Governance Metrics International, which rates firms using six different corporate governance dimensions, we analyze whether Japanese firms with many governance provisions have a better corporate performance than firms with İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 5

6 few governance provisions. Employing an overall index, we find that well governed firms significantly outperform poorly governed firms by up to 15% a year. Using indices for various governance categories, we find that not all categories affect corporate performance. Governance provisions that deal with financial disclosure, shareholder rights, and remuneration do affect stock price performance. The impact of provisions that deal with board accountability, market for control, and corporate behavior is limited. 2. Data 3. Governance ratings and stock price performance 4.

Marshall This paper considers the link between ruling political parties and stock, property, and bond returns in Australasia. Australia and New Zealand provide an ideal setting as their political systems allow a precise examination of the influences of political parties. We find higher inflation under left leaning governments and this flows through to higher property returns İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 6

7 during their terms. Stock markets tend to do better during right leaning governments when inflation is lower. While there is no clear political cycle in total bond returns we find bond capital losses during terms governed by the left and capital gains are evident under rightwing governments. 2. Background 3.

Conclusions Debt maturity structure of Chinese companies Pages Kailan Cai, Richard Fairchild, Yilmaz Guney İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 7

8 Numerous studies have focused on the theoretical and empirical aspects of corporate capital structure since the 1960s. As a new branch of capital structure, however, debt maturity structure has not yet received as much attention as the debt equity choice. We use the existing theories of corporate debt maturity to investigate the potential determinants of debt maturity of the Chinese listed firms. In addition to the traditional estimation methods, the system GMM technique is used to explicitly control for the endogeneity problem. We find that the size of the firm, asset maturity and liquidity have significant effects in extending the maturity of debt employed by Chinese companies. The amount of collateralized assets and growth opportunities also tend to be important. However, proxies for a firm's quality and effective tax rate apparently report mixed or unexpected results. Debt market and equity market conditions are also examined in relation to corporate loan maturity. The system GMM results show that market factors seem to influence debt maturity decisions. Finally, corporate equity ownership structure has also been found to have some impact on debt maturity mix. 2. Debt maturity theories and empirical proxies 2.1.

Panel C: The structure of bond markets in China Do Thai stock prices deviate from fundamental values? Pages Benjamas Jirasakuldech, Riza Emekter, Ramesh P. Rao The stock market in Thailand experienced several apparent boom and bust cycles in recent years, which raises the question of whether equity prices in Thailand reflect their fundamental values. This paper examines whether the Thai equity market was characterized İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 9

10 by rational expectations bubbles over the sample period from June 1975 to June The cointegration test provides evidence of no long run relationship among prices, dividends and earnings, indicating the presence of a rational bubble. The results are confirmed by the nonparametric duration dependence test, which shows evidence of negative duration dependence in runs of positive returns, consistent with the presence of rational expectations bubbles. Further analysis reveals departures from fundamental values in the initial sample subperiod ending with the Asian financial crisis in However, prices appear to be in line with fundamentals in the more recent post 1997 subperiod. 2.

Marisetty, Alastair Marsden, Madhu Veeraraghavan This study examines securities price reaction to announcements of rights issues by listed Indian firms during the period We document a positive but statistically insignificant price reaction to such announcements. The price reaction is significantly more İİ SS MM MM MM OO BB i l gg i yy ee EE rr i şş im i MM ee rr kk ee zz i 10

11 negative for firms with a family group affiliation compared to firms with no family group affiliation. The notable differential price reaction between firms with and without a family group affiliation can be explained by the tunneling hypothesis. For firms affiliated with a family group, we surmise that investors perceive that the proceeds of the rights issue may be misused for the benefit of the controlling shareholder. We also find that higher levels of individual shareholding in the firm are associated with a more positive price reaction to the announcement. 2.
