  • The Comparative Analysis of the Factors Affecting Securities Market of the Developed and Emerging Economies: BRICS and Ukraine Case
    British Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Sciences 13 March 2016, Vol. 11 (1) The Comparative Analysis of the Factors Affecting Securities Market of the Developed and Emerging Economies: BRICS and Ukraine Case Hnatyuk Rostyslav PhD Student Ivan Franko National University of L’viv E-mail: [email protected] Abstract In the article we inquire into the international securities market which is a source of financial development for the major part of the world economy. We perform linear correlation analysis in order to determine the influence of the macroeconomic and institutional factors on the microstructural (internal) determinants of securities market. We attempt to compare the results across developed and emerging economies in order to find out the differences. We found that most of the relationships are consistent with the theory. We also discovered that for development of emerging economies securities market the role of institutional environment is much more important than macroeconomic indicators, whereas for developed countries good performance of both is mostly equally essential. Key words: institution, institutional factors, macroeconomic variable, securities market determinants Introduction The securities market is one of the most important sources of financing for most of the companies in developed countries and quiet important for those from emerging economies. It allows accumulation of vast amounts of financial resources relatively quickly and without attaching yourself to a particular bank therefore allowing development of a particular project. In the last decades it is securities market that became one of the most quick – booming and technologically intensive market in the world economy. Since the beginning of XX economists believed that financial development may give an impetus for the national economy growth.

Coupling the seat of county government with the necessary facilities to make the selected site into a center of community activity had long been the dream of many far-sighted citizens. World famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright was engaged by the Board of Supervisors to prepare a Mas- ter Plan to encompass the elements of this daring concept. In March 1957 Mr. Wright present- ed plans for the first construc- tion phase - the Administration Building. A year later he added plans for the fairgrounds pavil- ion, playgrounds, lagoon and gen- eral civic areas. The Master Plan connected gently sloping hills with graceful hori- zontal buildings springing in great arches over entrance road- ways between the hills.
