We use daily geometric mean returns to investigate abnormal returns in mutual funds by applying four well known models, namely the CAPM, three-moment CAPM, Fama and French (1993) three-factor and Carhart (1997) four-factor models under different economic cycles and over different fund...

The study shows critical roles of firm-specific information on herd behavior, which is underexplored in prior literature, albeit an increasing impact of firm-specific information on asset pricing. The main finding demonstrates that three of four selected measures of firm-specific information...

This study uses the Worldwide Governance Indicators (WGI) developed by the World Bank to examine a cross-country corporate governance spillover effect among the G7, BRICS, and GIIPS countries during the period of 1996-2014. The panel unit root tests show stationary panel time series properties...

Using the panel vector autoregression (VAR) method, this paper documents relationships between investor attention and stock market activities; i.e., return, volatility, and trading volume, respectively. In sum, bidirectional dynamic interdependence of the SVI–stock market activities...

Purpose: Exploiting an exogenous regulatory shock and a novel measure of asset redeployability, we explore the effect of independent directors on asset redeployability. In particular, we employ an innovative measure of asset redeployability recently developed by Kim and Kung (2017). This novel...
