Econometrics is a mixed discipline that requires different degrees of introductory knowledge related to probability, probability distributions, statistics, mathematical economics, calculus, and matrix algebra. For example, random variables are described by probability distributions such as the...

Economics is a social science that studies the interaction of individuals and organisations engaged in the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. The goal is to prevent or correct problems such as unemployment, inflation public deficit and market failures. Economics is...

Performance persistence in the investment literature was a major area of investigation for both academics and practitioners for more than 2 decades. The results from various U.K open – end mutual funds studies are mixed and there is no enough statistical evidence of performance persistence in...

The existing literature of performance persistence of UK investment trusts is limited. We are going to use a sample of 210 UK investment trusts to test performance persistence in different time periods. Berk and Green (2004) suggests that performance persistence and managerial skill are limited...

This article examines UK investment trusts using a sample of 210 investment trusts from the period 1990 to 2006. The sample is free of survivorship bias. We find evidence of long-term managerial positive persistence. Performance is measured by Jensen's alpha based on regression models such as...

From the standpoint of both the academic researcher and the investment practitioner, it is crucial to be able to identify which factors best capture stock return variation and specifically the discount variation. As a result, there has been a proliferation of research that attempts to identify...
