The permanent income hypothesis in five major industrial countries: a multivariate trend-cycle decomposition testJournal of Economics and Finance - Tập 33 - Trang 43-59 - 2008
Hassan Shirvani, Barry Wilbratte
This paper presents a new test of the permanent income hypothesis in five major industrial countries. The test first decomposes consumption and income into their long run trend (permanent) and short run cyclical (transitory) components, using the recently developed multivariate stochastic detrending approach developed by Vahid and Engle (1997), among others. This approach exploits the presence of ...... hiện toàn bộ
The 1986 Tax Reform Act and ex-dividend day price and volume patterns: Evidence from organized exchanges and the OTC marketJournal of Economics and Finance - - 1993
Herman Manakyan, Kartono Liano, Gow Cheng Huang
By effectively removing the differential taxation of dividends and capital gains, the 1986 Tax Reform Act provides a unique opportunity to re-examine the “tax induced clientele” explanation of ex-dividend day price behavior. The analysis indicates an increased preference for dividends and provides evidence of significant abnormal volume during the ex-dividend period, consistent with dividend induc...... hiện toàn bộ

This paper examines the spillover effects of cluster volatility between the equity markets of the U.S. and four Asia-Pacific countries in the context of two significant U.S. market crises (the financial crisis of 2007 and the threat of the U.S. government refusing to raise its “debt ceiling” and subsequently defaulting on its debt in 2011). The paper seeks to determine whether market crises in the...... hiện toàn bộ

Agency costs in U.S. manufacturing: An empirical measure using X-efficiencyJournal of Economics and Finance - Tập 16 - Trang 1-10 - 1992
John Dobson
By adapting the concept of X-inefficiency, the deadweight cost associated with agency problems is estimated for U.S. manufacturing industry. X-inefficiency theory postulates that agent’s opportunistic behavior will lead to second-best outcomes in imperfect markets. When the methodology is applied to the 1986/87 fiscal year, thirty industries are identified as X-inefficient. The total deadweight ag...... hiện toàn bộ

Robert W. Kling, T. Scott Findley, Emin Gahramanov, David M. Theobald
This study estimates a generalized spatial hedonic pricing model to assess how residential property values are impacted by inclusion within cluster developments and by proximity to various types of protected land. The estimated model simultaneously controls for the spatial dependence of residential housing prices and for the presence of spatial autocorrelation. The sample includes 4,008 single-fam...... hiện toàn bộ
The effects of income and population demographics on single-county bank performanceJournal of Economics and Finance - Tập 42 - Trang 174-190 - 2017
Ken B. Cyree, Brandon C. L. Morris
We investigate the role market demographics play in determining the accounting performance of banks. Specifically, we study the effect of wealth and population to determine if these market factors drive performance, or if performance is related only to bank-specific variables. Using a sample of single-county banks, we find that market demographics play an important role in determining bank perform...... hiện toàn bộ
