  • REQUIEM for DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine
    JOHANNES KEPLER UNIVERSITY LINZ Altenberger Str. 69 4040 Linz, Austria www.jku.at, DVR 0093696 REQUIEM FOR DONBAS Three Essays on the Costs of War in Ukraine By Artem Kochnev A Doctoral Thesis submitted at Department of Economics to obtain the academic degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Doctoral Program “PhD Program in Economics” Supervisor and First Examiner Second Examiner em. Univ-Prof. Dr. Michael Landesmann Dr. habil. rer. soc. oec. Robert Stehrer May 2020 Abstract The thesis investigates short- and long-term effects of war on the economy of Ukraine. Specifically, it discusses the impact of separatists’ control and subsequent adverse trade policies on the real economy, responses of stock market investors to battle events, and the effect of conflict intensity on reform progress and institutional change in Ukraine. The thesis finds that the impact of war on the economy is most pronounced on the real economy of the war-torn regions. Whereas separatists’ control caused a decline in economic activity by at least 38%, the thesis does not find evidence supporting that the impact of conflict intensity on asset prices and institutional change in Ukraine was linear in parameters. The thesis explains the lack of the linear relationship between asset price move- ments and conflict intensity by investors’ inattention caused by information overload during the early stages of the conflict. Regarding the possible relationship between con- flict and institutional change, the thesis argues that it was electoral competition, not the conflict dynamics, that had an impact on the decision-making process of the policymak- ers in Ukraine.

In this paper an event study is used to investigate investors` expectations about winners and losers from two possible integration options: the Free Trade Agreement as a part of the Association Agreement with the European Union and the Custom Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan. The impact of these two sudden shifts in the political course on stock returns is analyzed to determine the companies which benefit from each integration decisions. No statistically significant impact on stock returns could be detected. However, our findings suggest a large positive reaction of companies` stock prices to the dismissal of Yanukovych regime regardless of company`s trade orientation and political affiliation.

  • Testing the Weak-Form Efficiency of Ukrainian Stock Market
    Testing the Weak-Form Efficiency of Ukrainian Stock Market by Svitlana Bolotova Dissertation Master in Finance Supervisor: Jorge Bento Ribeiro Barbosa Farinha 2016 Biographical Note Bolotova Svitlana was born on 22 of June, 1994, in Kyiv, Ukraine. During 2010-2014 she completed her Bachelor degree in Finance at National University of "Kyiv-Mohyla academy", Ukraine. The same year, 2014, Svitlana joined two-year Master in Finance at School of Economics and Management of University of Porto. ii Abstract Much attention has been recently paid to examining speculative stock markets of East- European economies. This study aims to make a contribution to the previous scarce empirical research on the efficiency of Ukrainian stock market, which has focused on testing the weak-form efficiency mostly during the years much preceding the global financial crisis and claims controversial results. Therefore, to test the weak-form efficiency of PFTS, the main Ukrainian stock exchange, during 2009-2015, ARMA and GARCH models are applied, a methodological approach that has proved to be effective and widely used for highly volatile stock markets. The findings suggest that Ukrainian stock market during the tested period tended to be inefficient. The conclusions might be of interest and importance for domestic and foreign investors and traders when making investment decisions, as well as for authorities, responsible for policy making decisions and reforms implementation in the financial sector.

  • Capital Markets Project the UKRAINE STOCK
    Capital Markets Project THE UKRAINE STOCK EXCHANGE ENVIRONMENT: CHALLENGES AND RECOMMENDATIONS Prepared by: Robert L. Smith International Adviser Capital Markets Development January 17, 2006 Robert L. Smith is a senior securities exchange professional with over 30 years diverse experience in regulation, operations, trading and management. He has an in-depth understanding of international best practices for exchange operations and oversight, having held positions with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, NASDAQ, Chicago Board Options Exchange, and with leading investment intermediaries. Mr. Smith has significant direct experience in emerging markets including work in Kazakstan, Thailand, China, Kyrgyzstan, and Georgia. 2 Preface This paper presents an analysis of securities exchanges in Ukraine, focusing in particular on whether the existing institutions have the capacity and independence to support a truly dynamic financial sector for Ukraine. While the focal point of the paper is the Ukrainian exchange environment, the role of the regulator, the Securities and Stock Market State Commission, is examined in the context of its impact on the development of stock exchange operations supporting true price transparency and planning for pension reform investments. In order to more fully speak to these challenges and better understand the role Ukraine’s securities exchanges can and should play in responding to them, the following analysis of the current status of Ukraine’s stock exchange operations was undertaken: • Background--History – review of the historical development of Ukraine’s securities exchanges, the current political and financial issues exchanges face, and the role of the GOU, the private sector, and international donor community. • Technical Capacity Analysis – evaluation of the capabilities of key exchanges active in Ukraine against requirements for a well-regulated and dynamic trading market, measured against international best practices for this market place.

  • Investment Opportunities in Ukraine
    Investment opportunities in Ukraine August 2014 Time to Invest in Ukraine The chance for large scale modernization in the post-Soviet space July 2014 How to stop the endless “transition” of post-Soviet economy into the “crony capitalism”? Start reforms now and modernization tomorrow! The Ukrainian economy bears the scars, left by the former government. Exports to Russia have declined because of political reasons. But the major problem of the Ukrainian industry is a lack of capital. The recent political changes give Ukraine an opportunity to be the first big country in the post-Soviet space to make a real large-scale transition from the government-controlled to free market economy. Ukraine has the potential to for successful modernization and liberal economic reform. These are the prerequisites for success of the deep reforms and the modernization plan: The political revolution resulted in a “the turn to the West,” making a free market a necessity The new Ukrainian government consists of professionals motivated by the country’s best interests The domestic market is close to the “bottom.” This is true for both financial assets and consumer activity. To avoid deeper crisis, Ukraine needs to rise private capital in 2014-2015 Manufacturing in Ukraine is competitive due to (a) the low cost of highly qualified labor, (b) the large domestic market and (c) a weak local currency. It will help to attract capital for the first stage of reforms and modernization over the next 4-5 years. If the program of reforms really starts now, foreign direct investment will flow into Ukraine as it did into Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia 20 years ago.

  • Year 2013: Economic Summary for Ukraine Recession, No Reforms, No Association with the EU
    INSTITUTE FOR ECONOMIC RESEARCH AND POLICY CONSULTING Year 2013: Economic Summary for Ukraine Recession, no reforms, no Association with the EU EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Real GDP in 2013 remained at the level of 2012 as positive contribution of domestic demand to economic growth was outweighed by negative contribution of net real exports. Decline in investments undermines economic growth in the future. During the year the Government did not approve reforms for fiscal consolidation and improvement of business climate and, as a result, failed to negotiate new IMF program. The Government faced huge liquidity gap in the end of the year, which resulted in delays in financing all expenditures including even wages and social payments. In the end of the year, Ukraine did not sign Association Agreement with the EU and negotiated for closer relations with Russia, which triggered political crisis in the country. Politics. In 2013, Ukraine tried to continue its long standing policy of balancing between the European Union and Russia. However, in the second half of the year tensions between Ukraine and Russia increased after Russia imposed informal trade barriers for Ukrainian goods and threatened to break off free trade and industrial cooperation. The EU refused to ease requirements for the Association Agreement. As a result, on November 28, Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign the AA at the EU’s Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius, which triggered the largest protests in Ukraine since the “Orange revolution” in 2004. Real Sector. Real GDP in 2013 remained at the level of 2012. On expenditure side, real private final consumption supported domestic demand, while real gross fixed capital accumulation declined.
