A great deal of the foreign aid-growth literature finds that the net effect of aggregate aid on total growth appears to be insignificant. This study argues that this aid-growth nexus can be better explained by testing the variation responses for each of growth sectors to their corresponding...

This paper intended to employ a portfolio approach to assess the effect of exchange rate expectation on Chinese RMB internationalization and empirically test the interactive effects among short-term capital flows, RMB appreciation expectation and the internationalization process using a VAR...

We test the impact of stock split rule changes on liquidity behavior in Bursa Malaysia during 2004-2020. Using event study methodology, this study examines stock liquidity on and around stock split days through three subperiods of study, including the first (2004-2006), second (2007-2009), and...

This study examines the impact of stock splits on stock liquidity in Bursa Malaysia from 2004-2018. The study uses event study methodology and investigates liquidity changes, the role of liquidity, and the relationship between abnormal returns and liquidity as well. We found a significant...

Financial data (e.g., intraday share prices) are recorded almost continuously and thus take the form of a series of curves over the trading days. Those sequentially collected curves can be viewed as functional time series. When we have a large number of highly correlated shares, their intraday...

This paper proposes an age-coherent sparse Vector Autoregression mortality model, which combines the appealing features of existing VAR-based mortality models, to forecast future mortality rates. In particular, the proposed model utilizes a data-driven method to determine the autoregressive...

The joint modelling of mortality rates for multiple populations has gained increasing popularity in areas such as government planning and insurance pricing. Sub-groups of a population often preserve similar mortality features with short-term deviations from the common trend. Recent studies...

This paper proposes a two-step LASSO based vector autoregressive (2-LVAR) model to forecast mortality rates. Within the VAR framework, recent studies have developed a spatial-temporal autoregressive (STAR) model, in which age-specific mortality rates are related to their own historical values...

This study presented a comprehensive framework to explain how the knowledge spillover from foreign direct investment (FDI) influences domestic new venture performance. Referring to external (formal and informal institutional distances) and internal (foreign experience and learning orientation)...
