  • Weak-Form Market Efficiency, Estimation Interval and the Nigerian Stock Exchange: Empirical Evidence
    WEAK-FORM MARKET EFFICIENCY, ESTIMATION INTERVAL AND THE NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE Onyemachi Maxwell Ogbulu, Abia State University Abstract Given the desirability of efficient capital markets in aiding optimal resource mobilization and allocation in the financial system, this paper is an attempt to investigate the efficiency level of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) across different data estimation intervals with reference to the weak-form variant of the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH). The paper employed daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly aggregate stock price data using the NSE All Share Index series from 4th January, 1999 to 31st December, 2013 to test for the weak-form efficiency of the NSE using a combination of seven (7) statistical and parametric tools namely- Autocorrelation tests, the ADF and P-P unit root tests, Variance Ratio tests, the Normality/Random Walk tests, the Granger Causality test, the ARCH-GARCH test and Regression rest. The empirical results of the investigation indicate that on balance the NSE is weak-form inefficient when daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly prices are examined irrespective of the estimation interval and the parametric test employed in the tests. It is to be noted from the findings that the NSE is still weak-form inefficient despite the implementation of various capital market reforms undertaken in the recent past as well as the adoption of automation and ICT in the operations of the Exchange. It is therefore recommended that these salutary reforms and policies should be intensified and sustained to ensure efficiency of the NSE. Keywords: Weak-form efficiency, Efficient Market Hypothesis, Estimation Interval, Parametric Tests.

  • The Advent of the Chicago Board Options Exchange a Golden Anniversary Memoir by Its Founding President
    THE ADVENT OF THE CHICAGO BOARD OPTIONS EXCHANGE A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY MEMOIR BY ITS FOUNDING PRESIDENT By Joe Sullivan April 26, 1973, was a momentous day in the history of the world’s financial markets. It marked the opening day of trading on the Chicago Board Options Exchange and with it the advent of what was probably the most important stock market innovation of the 20th Century. For those of us who had assembled for the opening ceremony, it was anything but clear what the CBOE’s destiny would be. The ceremony took place in what until a few months prior had been a musty smoking room adjoining the Chicago Board of Trade’s huge commodity futures trading floor. But now the room was rimmed by eight booth- like trading posts topped by big CRT screens that would display the prices of financial instruments the likes of which the world had never seen before. The governor of Illinois Dan Walker and the chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission Brad Cook were on hand for the occasion and lent it stature. But Walker later landed in prison while Cook soon resigned his post in disgrace. No one could say for sure that the CBOE wouldn’t face a similar fate. For my own part, I was mainly just elated that this day had finally come. As a former journalist with little background for the role until I stepped into it, I’d devoted more than four years to spearheading what at times had seemed like a windmill tilting exercise. How I came to be part of this effort, how it came to fruition and how it achieved almost instant success are what this memoir is all about.

  • List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges
    Index Governance LIST OF APPROVED REGULATED STOCK EXCHANGES The following announcement applies to all equity indices calculated and owned by Solactive AG (“Solactive”). With respect to the term “regulated stock exchange” as widely used throughout the guidelines of our Indices, Solactive has decided to apply following definition: A Regulated Stock Exchange must – to be approved by Solactive for the purpose calculation of its indices - fulfil a set of criteria to enable foreign investors to trade listed shares without undue restrictions. Solactive will regularly review and update a list of eligible Regulated Stock Exchanges which at least 1) are Regulated Markets comparable to the definition in Art. 4(1) 21 of Directive 2014/65/EU, except Title III thereof; and 2) provide for an investor registration procedure, if any, not unduly restricting foreign investors. Other factors taken into account are the limits on foreign ownership, if any, imposed by the jurisdiction in which the Regulated Stock Exchange is located and other factors related to market accessibility and investability. Using above definition, Solactive has evaluated the global stock exchanges and decided to include the following in its List of Approved Regulated Stock Exchanges. This List will henceforth be used for calculating all of Solactive’s equity indices and will be reviewed and updated, if necessary, at least annually.

  • Cereal Secrets: the World's Largest Grain Traders and Global Agriculture
    OXFAM RESEARCH REPORTS AUGUST 2012 CEREAL SECRETS The world's largest grain traders and global agriculture MS. SOPHIA MURPHY INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT AND SENIOR ADVISOR AT THE INSTITUTE FOR AGRICULTURE AND TRADE POLICY DR. DAVID BURCH HONORARY PROFESSOR SOCIOLOGY, THE UNIVERSITY OF QUEENSLAND DR. JENNIFER CLAPP PROFESSOR, ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCE STUDIES AND INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO The four big commodity traders – Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Bunge, Cargill and Louis Dreyfus, collectively referred to as ‘the ABCD companies’ – are dominant traders of grain globally and central to the modern agri-food system. This report considers the ABCDs in relation to several global issues pressing on agriculture: the ‘financialization’ of both commodity trade and agricultural production; the emergence of global competitors to the ABCDs, in particular from Asia; and some of the implications of large-scale industrial biofuels, a sector in which the ABCDs are closely involved. The report includes a discussion of how smallholders in developing countries are affected by these changes, and highlights some development policy implications, given the importance of the ABCD firms in shaping the world of food and agriculture. The report highlights the ways in which these four firms are decisive actors in the global restructuring of the overlapping food, feed, and fuel complexes that is now under way, and considers how the firms are evolving as they respond to and shape the new pressures and opportunities in the modern agri-food system. Oxfam Research Reports are written to share research results, to contribute to public debate and to invite feedback on development and humanitarian policy and practice.
