美元泛滥前夜：救赎美国大通胀

过去一个月大量资金从货币市场和债市“出走”，流进了高风险的权益市场：石油交易所交易基金ETF，欧美和新兴市场股票市场。尽管经济复苏之光还很微弱，即便是星星点点的光亮，也使得全球的股票价格大幅度上升超过40％，新兴市场甚至上升超过60％。尽管全球需求继续下滑，油价从3月的低位翻了一番，铜价上升超过60％，毫无疑问，推动因素只能是通胀和美元贬值的预期。

2006年以来短期利率运行的新特点

从2006年年初开始，货币市场的运行态势开始表现出一些值得关注的新特点。在交易量继续快速增加的同时，市场利率也在不断攀升。2006年年底～2007年年初，主要品种的回购和拆借利率甚至超过了长期国债的收益率。货币市场这种量价同时上涨的态势与2005年的量涨价跌形成了鲜明对比。在流动性过剩的背景下，短期利率的飙涨实在令人费解，因为流动性的增加本应该导致市场利率下降而不是上升。除了利率水平的上升之外，利率的波动也在迅速加剧。     

2020年货币政策：全球央行的刀锋之舞

"风尘荏苒音书绝,关塞萧条行路难"。2019年,尽管全球货币政策和金融条件普遍宽松,但贸易摩擦一波三折和地缘政治风险激化,改变了经济复苏的既有路径,全球经济增速将创下2008年以来的新低。展望2020年,经济疲软和通缩压力仍将主导全球货币政策走势,整体利率环境易松难紧:对于发达经济体,要想通过继续降低本已处在历史低位的名义利率水平来维持较低的真实利率,并起到刺激经济的作用,将有赖于货币政策与财政政策、结构性改革的协同;对于新兴市场经济体,在全球贸易博弈和地缘政治冲突长期化的背景下,2020年新兴市场货币或将遭遇阶段性、结构性的风险冲击,而美元指数相对坚挺也抑制了新兴市场货币政策的增量宽松空间。

Integration of emerging stock markets with global stock markets

Financial integration for emerging economies should be seen as a long-term objective. In this paper, we examine stock market integration among five selected emerging stock markets (Brazil, China, Mexico, Russia and Turkey) and developed markets of the US, UK and Germany. The bounds testing approach to cointegration and error-correction modeling are used on monthly data from January 2001 to December 2014 to determine the short-run and long-run relationship between emerging stock market returns and the returns of the developed stock markets. The results show evidence of the existence of short-run integration among stock markets in emerging countries and the developed markets. However, the long-run coefficients for stock market returns in all emerging countries show a significant relationship only with Germany stock market return. The empirical findings in this study have important implications for academicians, international investors, and policymakers in emerging markets.     

On the stability of long-run relationships between emerging and US stock markets

While most studies have found no cointegration between emerging and US stock markets, some recent studies do find a long-run relationship exists between these markets. In view of these mixed findings, this study examines the stability of long-run relationships between a number of emerging stock markets and the US stock market using recursive cointegration analysis. The results show that no long-run relationship exists between emerging markets and the US market over most of the sample period throughout 1997. However, we do find clear evidence of cointegration in response to the recent global emerging market crisis in 1997–1998. We conclude that significant crisis events can change the degree of cointegration between international stock markets and, therefore, need to be taken into account in studies of long-run relationships between international stock markets.     

Baltic stock markets and the financial crisis of 2008–2009

This study presents new evidence on stock market integration by investigating the linkages between developed European stock markets and emerging stock markets. We focus on three countries in the Baltic region, namely Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania with particular attention to the recent financial crisis of 2008–2009. The study is motivated by traditional stock market studies of integration, which show that developed stock markets are highly integrated, while emerging markets may be segmented. How integrated these emerging stock markets are in a crisis period with respect to the EUROSTOXX50 stock index is an empirical question investigated in this study. While the results of this study demonstrate that the Baltic stock markets were apparently segmented before the crisis, they were highly integrated during the crisis. The results of the variance decomposition analysis show that a large proportion of the forecast variance of the Baltic stock markets can be explained by the EUROSTOXX50 during the crisis. The results from the quantile regressions demonstrate that during the crisis the returns of the lowest quantile were most sensitive to the EUROSTOXX50 stock index. All these results imply less diversification benefits during crises when investors would need them the most.

Time-varying market integration and stock and bond return concordance in emerging markets

We investigate the extent to which emerging stock market integration affects the joint behavior of stock and bond returns using a two-stage semi-parametric approach. Using a sample of 18 emerging markets, we find an unambiguous and robust link between emerging stock market integration and stock–bond return decoupling. We explain this with a decline in the segmentation risk premia in equities modeled by De Jong and De Roon [De Jong, F., De Roon, F.A., 2005. Time-varying market integration and expected returns in emerging markets. Journal of Financial Economics 78, 583–613] that leads to increased demand for stocks and reduced or unchanged demand for bonds. Our findings deliver new insights into the financial liberalization and stock–bond comovement literatures.     

Developed markets’ business cycle dynamics and time-variation in emerging markets’ asset returns

This paper empirically studies the predictability of emerging markets’ stock returns by business cycle variables and the role of developed markets’ business cycle dynamics in this respect. The evidence shows that the link between business cycles and future stock market returns among emerging markets is considerably weaker than among developed markets. By contrast, I find strong evidence of stock return predictability by the respective country’s dividend-price ratio. This latter finding could reflect that variation in dividend-price ratios potentially reflects both the temporary impact of “hot money” inflows on emerging markets’ asset prices and rational expectations of future returns.     

The value of stock analysts' recommendations: Evidence from emerging markets

This is the first study to empirically examine post-recommendation buy and hold abnormal returns in emerging markets. By analyzing a sample of 13 emerging countries over the decade from 1996 to 2005, we find that stock prices react strongly to stock analyst recommendations and revisions. We also find that there is a stronger positive bias in analyst recommendations and revisions in emerging markets compared with that in developed markets. In our cross-sectional analysis, we find that the Market-to-Book ratio is the primary indicator for Buy and Strong Buy recommendation regressions. This indicates that stock analysts in emerging markets prefer high growth stocks with attractive characteristics.     

Financial Integration of Large- and Small-Cap Stocks in Emerging Markets

This study examines the financial integration of large- and small-cap stocks in twenty-three emerging markets to determine their degree of market integration with the world market. The international asset pricing model cannot be rejected for most large-cap stock portfolios, but it is rejected for small-cap stock portfolios. The findings also demonstrate that super-large-cap stocks have the fewest pricing errors and their global financial integration has increased in recent years. In sum, the empirical results indicate that global market integration is primarily associated with the super-large-cap stocks of large emerging markets.     

Stock market cycles, financial liberalization and volatility

In this paper we analyze the cycles of the stock markets in four Latin American and two Asian countries, and we compare their characteristics. We divide our sample in two subperiods in order to account for differences induced by the financial liberalization processes of the early 1990s. We find that cycles in emerging countries tend to have shorter duration and larger amplitude and volatility than in developed countries. However, after financial liberalization Latin American stock markets have behaved more similarly to stock markets in developed countries whereas Asian countries have become more dissimilar. Concordance of cycles across markets has increased significantly over time, especially for Latin American countries after liberalization.     

Volatility in stock returns for new EU member states: Markov regime switching model

In this paper, we investigate the volatility in stock markets for the new European Union (EU) member states of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovenia and Slovakia by utilising the Markov regime switching model. The model detects that there are two or three volatility states for the emerging stock markets. The result reveals that there is a tendency that the emerging stock markets move from the high volatility regime in the earlier period of transition into the low volatility regime as they move into the EU. Entry to the EU appears to be associated with a reduction of volatility in unstable emerging markets.
