This paper presents an autocorrelation test that is applicable to dynamic panel data models with serially correlated errors. The residual-based GMM t-test is a significance test that is applied after estimating a dynamic model by using the instrumental variable(IV) method and is directly applicable to any other consistently estimated residuals. Monte Carlo simulations show that the t-test has considerably more power than the $m_2$ test or the Sargan test under both forms of serial correlation (i.e., AR(1) and MA(1)).

We investigate the effect of bank's market power on financing constraints of non-financial firms in 11 Asian countries between 1995 and 2009. Using firm-level data we analyze financial constraints with the Euler equation derived from the dynamic investment model. We find that with a highly concentrated banking sector firms which have high market power are less financially constrained. These results are consistent with an information-based hypothesis that more market power increases bank's advantage to produce information on potential borrowers.

In this study, we empirically investigate the relations between trading volumes and our proxies for information flows and differences of opnion. Econometric methods to analyze the relations in the equity and KOSPI 200 futures markets include Generalized Method of Moment(GMM) and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity(GARCH) models. Major findings from our empirical analyses are summarized as follows; (i) Trading volume in both the equity and KOSPI 200 futures markets varies positively with proxies for information flows. We find that trading volumes in both markets are closely related to firm-specific information rather than market-wide information. (ii) Trading volumes in the equity and KOSPI 200 futures market have positive relations with our proxies for differences of opinion. (iii) Day-of-the-week effect is clear in both markets. Trading volumes in both the equity and KOSPI 200 futures markets tend to be relatively low early and late in the week. (IV) Futures contract life-cycle effect is clear. In other words, futures trading volume increses in the period around contract expiration. (V) In addition, ARCH effect on trading volumes is reported significant enough to take into account. The disturbance of trading volumes in both markets seem to be conditional heteroscedastic.
