Using daily open-to-close and close-to-open stock prices, this paper examines whether there are any lead-lag relationships between the Tokyo Stock Exchange and the other G7 stock markets. In particular, this paper analyzes whether the movements of other markets in the preceding trading session...

This article explores the potential existence of comovements between the stock prices in Mainland China and Hong Kong. The cointegration test shows that the prices of a substantial number of A shares and H shares have started to cointegrate with each other after the launch of the Closer Economic...

Groenewold et al. (2004) documented that the Chinese stock market is inefficient. In this paper, we revisit the efficiency problem of the Chinese stock market using time-series model based trading rules. Our paper distinguishes itself from previous studies in several aspects. First, while...

Most of the existing structural-change models presume that the impact of a change is instantaneous and occurs at the same time for all individuals. In this paper, we develop a new structural-change model to measure the lag length between the time when an economic crisis breaks out and the time...

The classical capital asset pricing model postulates a linear relationship between stock returns and stock risks. However, a number of subsequent empirical studies have revealed some anomalies in this relationship, especially for firms with small size and high book-to-market values. A possible...

Most of the existing structural-change models presume that the impact of a change is instantaneous and occurs at the same time for all individuals. In this paper, we develop a new structural-change model to measure the lag length between the time when an economic crisis breaks out and the time...

Microalgae are considered as a promising biofuel resource to fix carbon dioxide (CO2) in the future. Modelling microalgae growth is an effective method of studying the performance of microalgae growth manifested by the parameters including light distribution, pigment dynamics, nitrogen uptake,...

In this paper, based on the mathematical models of microalgae growth, the performance of microalgae growth in nitrogen-limited and light-limited continuous culture is investigated and the effect of important factors on the growth is examined. The dilution rate and the influent inorganic nitrogen...
