Emerging Market Contagion Under Geopolitical Uncertainty
2019
We find that 10 emerging stock markets have high risk of contagion on the regional level but lower spillover with respect to the global markets, implying a potential for diversification benefits between emerging and global markets. Regional market integration seems to have been caused by trade integration, which has a policy implication for trade agreements’ systemic risk effects. We find that the geopolitical risk has no impact on either the return, or volatility spillovers. However, the general stock market risk (VIX) is connected to individual market volatilities, while the oil market is largely receiving the spillovers from the other markets. peerReviewed
Investor protection and business creation
2003
We study the effects of investor protection on the availability of external finance, entrepreneurship, and creation of new firms in an equilibrium search model of private capital markets. In addition to search frictions, we examine contract frictions, specifically interim and ex post moral hazard problems stemming from entrepreneurs’ possibilities to expropriate financiers. In our model, the government chooses the level of investor protection that determines the transferability of match surplus between entrepreneurs and financiers. The results indicate that anything that increases (decreases) entrepreneurship also increases (decreases) the creation of start-ups. The effect of investor prote…
Evolution of worldwide stock markets, correlation structure and correlation based graphs
2011
We investigate the daily correlation present among market indices of stock exchanges located all over the world in the time period Jan 1996 - Jul 2009. We discover that the correlation among market indices presents both a fast and a slow dynamics. The slow dynamics reflects the development and consolidation of globalization. The fast dynamics is associated with critical events that originate in a specific country or region of the world and rapidly affect the global system. We provide evidence that the short term timescale of correlation among market indices is less than 3 trading months (about 60 trading days). The average values of the non diagonal elements of the correlation matrix, corre…
: Difficulties ans risks of interSME cooperation : solutions provided by private-equity firms
2016
L’article analyse les difficultés et risques auxquels font face les petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) lors de la formation de coopérations interfirmes, et les rôles joués par les sociétés de capital-investissement dans leur diminution. Les PME font principalement face à une asymétrie informationnelle et une incertitude accrues en comparaison aux entreprises plus grandes. Les sociétés de capital-investissement permettent de réduire ces deux facteurs et d’instaurer une situation de confiance entre les futurs cocontractants, ce qui évite l’échec de la transaction. Une étude de cas multiples à visée infirmationniste menée sur le marché français du capital-investissement détaille ces princip…
