Currently larger businesses, that is those with more than 20 employees, are undertaking a greater range of activities designed to reduce their impact on the environment including: recycling paper, containers and printer cartridges; reducing energy use by installing energy efficient globes and switching off lights and computers; and embedding changes by developing environmental policies and establishing green teams.

Ebook Earnings Announcement Clustering, Systematic Liquidity Shocks, and Expected Returns

Submitted by wulan on Fri, 04/30/2010 - 05:49

In this study, we argue that earnings announcement clustering during earnings seasons can have significant effects on stock market liquidity, liquidity betas, and liquidity risk premia. Since the information flow is highly concentrated during a very short interval, this creates a potential for market-wide liquidity shocks.

These shocks result in time-varying liquidity risk which in turn leads to changes in the liquidity risk premium that investors require to hold the stocks. We estimate that the marginal liquidity risk premium lies in the range between 0.5% and 2.4% per year.

Submitted by wulan on Tue, 12/01/2009 - 01:34

The economic crisis currently afflicting the global economy is the most severe since before the second world war. It was triggered by the financial crisis in the United States and some other advanced economies, which led to a sharp contraction in global aggregate demand.

Output in the global economy contracted by about 6 percent on an annualised basis in the last quarter of 2008 and has continued to fall in 2009, although the trough in global output may now have been reached. Global output is forecast by the IMF to contract by 1.4 percent in 2009. The impact of the economic crisis on world trade is even more pronounced. The volume of world trade is forecast to fall by 12 percent in 2009, while non fuel commodity prices are forecast to fall by 24 percent.
