  • This paper empirically examines the short-run and long-run causal relationship between stock market prices and exchange rates in Chinese stock markets using monthly data from January 2002 to December 2012 retrieved from the National Bureau of Statistics of the People's Republic of China. Unit root, cointegration tests, vector error correction estimates, block exogeneity Wald tests, impulse responses, variance decomposition techniques and structural break tests are employed. This study found 1) long-run causality from exchange rates to stock prices in Chinese stock markets and 2) short-run causality from Japanese yen and Korean won exchange rates to stock prices in the Shanghai Stock Exchange strongly prevails while in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange weakly prevails. The impact of the global financial crisis from 2007 to 2009 on Chinese stock markets was insignificant.

  • This study investigates extensively the integration of various segments of financial markets (i.e. money market, lending and deposit market, exchange rate market, and capital market) both domestically and internationally. Cointegration approach is employed in the study to find out long term relationship among the variables. Data are on a monthly interval for the period spreads over 2001 to 2010. The results show no evidence of cointegration between money market and exchange rate market and between capital market and exchange rate market of Pakistan. On the other hand, international financial markets integration is also investigated and the findings revealed that domestic money market rates of Pakistan and USA are not cointegrated. Whereas, an evidence of cointegration between capital markets of Pakistan and USA is found in this study.

  • This paper examines the existence of value premium in the Chinese stock markets and empirically provides its explanation. Our results suggest that the value premium does exist in the Chinese markets, and investor sophistication is significant in explaining its existence. In particular, there is supporting evidence that the value premium could be driven by individual investors, whereas stocks that are mostly held by institutional investors are value-premium free. We briefly discuss the implications of our findings.

  • Over the past decades, financial markets have been integrated across countries while income inequality has increased in most countries. This paper studies the effect of financial market integration on income inequality and investigates whether this effect varies with the degree of financial market development. We find empirical evidence that financial market integration and financial market development interact to change income inequality. Specifically, the effect of financial market integration on income inequality is nonlinear, and the degree of financial market development plays an important role. Opening financial markets worsens income inequality in the countries holding the underdeveloped state of financial markets, however, the effect of capital account openness on income inequality is statistically insignificant in the countries with developed financial markets.

  • Purpose - This study was carried out to analyze the influential factors of how consumers methodize purchasing agricultural products via direct market. It further utilizes the Discrete Choice Model to analyze consumer decision specifically with regards to individual markets and store attributes. Research design and methodology - This study will use the multinomial logit model to interpret the influential factors behind selecting a specific market to purchase from. This study establishes 'online direct-purchase' as the base category with 'direct farm markets', 'local foods direct markets', 'produce boxes (CSA)' as substitutes. Results - Firstly, the variety of products, price and freshness had a positive influence on choosing 'direct farm markets' while convenience of payment and transportation had a negative influence. Second, freshness and store attributes had a positive influence on choosing 'local foods direct markets' but product price and packaging, location accessibility had a negative influence. And although product creditability had a positive influence on purchasing 'produce boxes (CSA)', product price had a negative influence. Conclusions - Accordingly, there is a need for the South Korean government to encourage the adoption of mobile payment through smartphone applications in direct farm markets to vitalize direct agricultural purchasing. However, this does need to be approached cautiously as price has a conflicting affect for each method of purchase.

  • The popularity of Islamic financial instruments among Muslims is not surprising. The Islamic capital market is where sharia-compliant financial assets are transacted. It works parallel to the conventional market and helps investors find sharia-compliant investment opportunities. At a time of collective confusion when the COVID-19 epidemic is contributing to unprecedented change, this paper is keen to understand how attractive conventional and Islamic stock markets have been to investors recently. Second, this paper takes advantage of the time-scale decomposition property of the wavelet to simultaneously capture risk exposure and distinguish the risks faced by short- and long-term investors. To this end, this research conducted a two-step investigation of the daily closing equity market price indices for three Islamic stock markets and their conventional counterparts. Given that different financial decisions occur with greater or less frequency, the paper examines the connectedness of stock markets operating at heterogeneous rates and identifies the timescales using wavelet-DCC-GARCH analysis to take account of both the time and the frequency domains of stock market connectedness. The paper findings highlight the strong evidence of contagion that can be seen in nearly all conventional stock markets in the COVID-19 pandemic; they reach a high level of dependency in such health crises. Furthermore, Islamic stock markets prove to be a rich ground for global diversification.

  • This paper analyzes the entire distribution of stock market returns/volatility in five emerging markets (ASEAN5) and figures out the conditional distribution of the CHI_EPU index. The aim is to examine the impact of CHI_EPU on the stock returns/volatility density of ASEAN5 markets. It also examined whether changes in CHI_EPU explain returns at higher or lower points (abnormal returns). This paper models the behaviour of stock returns from March 2011 to June 2018 using a non-parametric conditional density estimation approach. The results indicate that CHI_EPU diminishes stock returns and augments volatility in ASEAN5 markets, except for Malaysia, where it affects stock returns positively. The possible reason for this positive impact is that EPU is not the leading factor reducing Malaysian stock returns; but, other forces, such as dependency on other countries' stock markets and global factors, may have a positive impact on stock returns (Bachmann and Bayer, 2013). Thus, the risk of simultaneous investment in Chinese and ASEAN5 stock markets, except Malaysia, is high. Further, the degree of this influence intensifies at extreme high/low intervals (positive/negative tails). The findings of this study have significant implications for investors, policymakers, market agents, and analysts of ASEAN5.

  • 본 연구는 Hamilton and Susmel(1994)에 의해 개발된 마코브국면전환 ARCH모형을 이용하여 글로벌 주식시장의 구조적 변화와 변동성을 파악하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 요약하면, 첫째, SWARCH-L(3,2)모형의 결과, 미국, 이탈리아 및 아일랜드는 상태 1에서 상태 2로의 국면전환으로 변화가 없고 상태 1에서 상태 3으로의 국면전환은 5배 이상의 분산증가를 나타내었으나, 한국, 러시아, 인도 및 그리스는 상태 1에서 상태 2로의 국면전환으로 2배 이상이고, 상태 1에서 상태 3으로의 국면전환은 7배 이상의 분산이 더욱 증가되었다. 평균값의 결과, 상태 1에서 상태 2로의 점프는 3배, 상태 1에서 상태 3으로의 전환은 13배의 위험이 증가되었다. 그리고 한국, 미국, 인도, 이탈리아는 ARCH(1)과 ARCH(2)효과를 나타내었고, 대부분의 주식시장에서 레버리지(leverage)와 비대칭효과는 존재하였다. 둘째, 평균전이확률의 결과, 한국의 저변동성국면의 지속성(278일)이 가장 커서 장기적인 것으로 추정되었고 동일한 변동성국면간의 확률은 거의 1에 가까워 높은 지속성을 나타내었다. 셋째, Chow 결과, 아시아, 글로벌 및 유럽발 금융위기를 포함한 설정된 5개 기간에서 주식시장간의 구조적 변화(structural changes)가 존재하였다. 또한 1-Step 예측오차 결과, 1997년과 1998년의 아시아의 금융위기동안 러시아를 제외하고 대부분 주식시장이 불안정하고, 2007년과 2008년의 글로벌 금융위기동안에 한국을 제외하고 다른 주식수익률이 불안정하고, 2010과 2011의 유럽발 금융위기동안에 한국, 미국, 러시아 및 인도를 제외하고 대부분의 주식시장도 불안정하고, N-Step 결과에서는 1997년부터 2008년까지의 아시아와 글로벌 금융위기동안 대부분의 주식시장이 불안정하였다. 반면에 CUSUM검정에서 아시아의 위기인 1997년과 1998년에는 거의 변화가 없었고, 일부 국가를 제외하고 2000년대 후반까지 모든 주식시장이 안정적으로 나타났다. CUSUMSQ검정에서는 1997년 7월부터 2011년 12월까지 아시아와 글로벌 및 유럽발 금융위기 동안에 대부분의 주식시장이 국가별로 안정과 불안정이 혼재하였다. 넷째, 우도비 검정결과, 한국과 타국의 주식시장의 변동성간의 밀접한 관련성을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 연구는 첫째, 여러 금융위기동안의 주식시장의 고변동성을 발생시키는 에피소드 또는 사건들을 파악하였고, 둘째, 주식시장의 변동성의 지속성에서 저변동성국면에서 위기변동성국면으로의 전환보다는 고변동성국면으로의 국면전환으로 분산이 더욱 증가되었고, 셋째, 국가 기간별로 동일하지는 않을지라도 고변동성국면은 1990년대 말 이후의 비즈니스 불경기와 관련이 있었고, 넷째, 주식시장에 레버리지와 비대칭효과가 존재하였고, 다섯째, Lamoureux and Lastrapes(1990)의 주식시장의 구조적 위험의 변화로 인한 결과와 본 연구의 결과와 일치하였다는 것을 확인하였고 $An\acute{e}$ and Ureche-Rangau(2006)의 다양한 비선형의 국면전환모형을 사용하여 보다 정교한 추가적인 분석이 필요하다.

  • This study was conducted to estimate the drift of change for kimchi purchase, and to contribute to quality improvement of kimchi sold at markets. Questionnaries were distributed to 450 adults and 396 were statistically analyzed. The methods used to analyze the items were frequency analysis, Chi-square, t-tests and ANOVA. The highest preference for kinds of kimchi was Beachoo kimchi, while the preference for Nabak kimchi was low. In terms of the degree of ripening, most subjects preferred properly ripened kimchi. With regard to the purchase amount the subjects preferred 1 kg and mainly purchased it once every three months at large market and supermarkets. The main reason for purchasing kimchi at markets was 'convenience', while the reason they didn't purchase it was 'it might contain artificial seasoning'. With regard to the development and improvement of the kimchi industry, the subjects belived that taste and ripening should be standardized, and that kimchi should be treated sanitarily. They acknowledged that kimchi products should be diversified, and active marketing should be carried out in order for it to be globalized.

  • This study was performed to examine the levels of biogenic amines (BAs) in foods of animal origin such as egg, ham, sausage, milk, cheese and yoghurt distributed on Korean domestic markets, and to compare the results with those of western countries. Egg yolk had more BAs than egg white. BAs detected in ham samples were the highest level in barbecued tender loin ham. Sausage samples had less BAs than ham samples. However, the delicatessen sausages had significantly higher levels of histamine than the other sausage samples (p<0.001). Cadaverine, spermidine and spermine were detected in market milks and their concentrations were very low compared with other samples. In Cheddar cheese, tyramine (44.46${\pm}$0.83 ${\mu}$g/g) was the major BA. The major BA of stirred yoghurt samples was histamine. These results suggest that BAs of the foods of animal origin distributed on Korean domestic markets were not much different from those of western countries and would not cause any harmful effect to consumers.
