Emerging Securities Exchanges in Africa

ABSTRACT

African securities markets have not received the academic attention of those in Latin America and Southeast Asia. Historically, capital markets have not played a significant role in financing the development of the African economy. Today, however, African governments are focusing on the importance of moving toward more market-oriented economies and developing the financial market infrastructure to mobilize funds from both the private and public sectors. This paper describes the institutional characteristics of a newly revitalized stock exchange in Nairobi, Kenya. The study concludes that historical and cultural factors play a significant role in the characteristics of the Nairobi Stock Exchange.     

开放格局下证券公司价值增值研究

续中国签署WTO协议后,第二轮中美战略与经济对话将促进中国证券业市场进一步开放,高盛在中国的发展反映了中国证券市场的开放历程。通过考察开放格局下中国证券公司和美国证券公司的差距,以及不同规模的中国证券公司之间收入结构异同,认为在目前中国证券公司不具有竞争优势的情况下,中国应学习日本、韩国和台湾地区的谨慎开放政策和与经济实力相辅原则,控制开放速度及培育有利于中国证券业可持续发展的竞争格局。不同规模的中国证券公司必须通过对外部环境和自身优劣势科学分析,找出促进自身价值增值的战略和途径,培育各具特色的核心竞争力。     

Pricing the Chicago Board of Trade T-Bond futures

The aim of this paper is to investigate the pricing of the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Treasury-Bond futures. The difficulty in pricing it arises from its multiple inter-dependent embedded delivery options, which can be exercised at various times and dates during the delivery month. We consider a general Markov diffusion process model for stochastic interest rates and propose a pricing algorithm that can handle all the delivery rules embedded in the CBOT T-Bond futures. Our procedure combines dynamic programming, finite-elements approximation, and fixed-point evaluation. Numerical illustrations are provided under the one-factor Vasicek and Cox–Ingesoll–Ross models, and under the time in-homogeneous Hull–White model.     

我国证券投资基金羊群行为的实证研究

国外的研究显示，发达国家市场机构投资者的羊群行为并不十分明显。作为新兴市场主体的中国机构投资者在这方面的行为特征如何呢？本文使用经典的LSV方法以及Wermers扩展方法，对我国金融市场上以证券投资基金为代表的机构投资者交易行为进行了实证研究。结果发现，我国证券投资基金之间具有较明显的羊群行为，并具有以下特点：同时使用正负反馈操作策略；在流通盘较大和较小的股票上的羊群行为显著；成长型基金的羊群行为显著等。针对这些发现，笔者探究了羊群行为产生的原因，并提出了一些避免过度羊群行为的措施．     

Staging of Venture Financing, Investor Opportunism and Patent Law

Abstract:  Stage financing provides a real option that is valuable when facing external uncertainty. However, it may also induce investor hold-up, if the property rights on an invention are not sufficiently protected. As a consequence, the entrepreneur may not work hard. Investor opportunism is less likely to occur, if investors' residual cash-flow-rights are contingent on verifiable 'milestones' in the previous stage. Equity-linked financing also provides high-powered incentives to the investor not to 'steal the idea' because his payoff becomes sensitive to the project value. The paper provides a new explanation for both types of contractual provisions.

Convergence of Real Capital Market Interest Rates—Evidence from Inflation Indexed Bonds

This paper investigates the convergence of long‐term ex ante real interest rates (RIRs) obtained from Canadian, French, UK, and U.S. inflation indexed government bonds. In contrast to previous research, our evidence suggests full convergence in the long run and, hence, capital market integration. For the same sample period, global convergence is rejected for RIRs measured in conventional terms. From these results, we conclude that previous tests of the long‐run real interest rate parity might have suffered from weak measurement of real capital market interest rates.     

Regulatory Uncertainty and Financial Contagion: Evidence from the Hybrid Capital Securities Market

This paper examines the negative market impact that resulted from the insurance regulators’ potential reclassification of 140 hybrid capital securities in spring and summer 2006. It illustrates how financial contagion can spring from a regulatory policy change that lacks transparency. We investigate the impact of the uncertainty surrounding the regulators’ true classification criteria by measuring the effect of the reclassification announcements on hybrid new issue volume, cumulative average abnormal returns, bid‐ask spreads, and yield spreads. The financial contagion adversely affected the entire hybrid capital securities market for six months. The effect was most pronounced among those hybrids that were eventually reclassified as common equity equivalents. It was greater for Yankee Tier 1 hybrids, which had been more popular with insurance firm investors prior to the reclassifications, than among non‐Tier 1 hybrids.
