Meyers Vænge 15, 2450 Copenhagen SV, Denmark 2 Department of Wind Energy, Technical University of Denmark, Risø Campus, Frederiksborgvej 399, 4000 Roskilde, Denmark; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] or [email protected]; Tel.: +45-2383-1621 or +45-212-661-88 Received: 30 October 2017; Accepted: 13 December 2017; Published: 16 December 2017 Abstract: This research presents an industry level gap analysis for Chinese offshore wind, which serves as a way to illuminate how China may fast track industry evolution. The research findings provide insight into how the Chinese government strongly and systematically decrees state-owned Chinese firms to expand into overseas markets to speed up learning efforts. Insights are offered regarding the nation-level strategic plans and institutional support policies mobilized by China in order to be able to conquer market shares internationally by building a strong home market and then facilitating an end-to-end and fully financed export solution. This is interesting in itself and in particular so because it now also includes complex billion-dollar megaprojects such as turnkey offshore wind farm assets with an expected lifespan of 30+ years. Research findings are provided on how European and Chinese firms may successfully forge long-term alliances also for future Chinese wind energy export projects. Examples of past efforts of collaboration not yielding desired results have been included as well. At policy level, recommendations are provided on how the evolution of the Chinese offshore wind power industry can be fast-tracked to mirror the revolutionary pace, volume, and velocity which the Chinese onshore wind power industry has mustered.

  • Market Anomaly and Arbitrage Opportunity Around Ex-Dividend Day
    MARKET ANOMALY AND ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITY AROUND EX-DIVIDEND DAY Authors: Islam Md Mohibul Jessie Cadilhac Supervisor: Anders Isaksson Student Umeå School of Business Spring semester 2010 Master thesis, one-year, 15 hp ABSTRACT Purpose of this study is to investigate market anomaly and possible arbitrage opportunity around ex-dividend day. We investigate most liquid common stock prices behavior around the world. Our sample data covers NYSE (Companies from S&P 100 index), London Stock Exchange (Companies from FTSE 100 index), Shanghai Stock Exchange (Companies from SSE180 index) and Tokyo Stock Exchange (Companies from TOPIX 100 index). We also investigate possible arbitrage opportunity based on abnormal return and short-term trading activities around ex-day. Based on raw price drop ratio, market adjusted price ratio, raw price drop ratio, market adjusted price drop ratio, market adjusted abnormal return and relative trading volume we developed six null-hypotheses and conclude this study. We used t-test to determine the mean differences between theoretical values and observed values and for median differences we used Wilcoxon Sign Rank Test. This study observed an equal drop of stock prices compared to dividend amount from New York and Shanghai Stock Exchange. We found no evidence of short-term trading activities around ex-date from both markets. In Tokyo Stock Exchange stock prices fall less than the dividend amount and individual dividend amount has higher taxation compare to capital gain. It provides strong evidence in favor of tax effect and we also recorded significant evidence of short-term trading activities before ex-dividend day. However, we documented mixed evidence from London Stock exchange.

Refer to Note 1, page 46. It was an extraordinary quarter for Chinese stocks with the Shanghai "A" market up over 50% and the Hong Kong "H" market up 45%1. While the Chinese “A” shares have been steadily making ground over the last 18 months, having previously been one of the world's worst performing markets, this quarter's performance would suggest that the Andrew Clifford Portfolio Manager country's massive trade and capital account surplus have finally created liquidity conditions conducive to a good bull market. Efforts to hold back property prices, the major alternative asset class for domestic investors, have possibly helped funnel funds back towards stocks as well. Foreign investors have bought up the “H” share market in sympathy, particularly as it represents one of the few ways of playing the ongoing appreciation in the Chinese yuan. Other strong performers for the quarter were Indonesia, the Philippines, and Singapore, all up in excess of 16%. The major laggard was Thailand which was down 1% for the quarter after the Bank of Thailand imposed capital controls. 1 The “A” share market in China is primarily a domestic market only, although foreign investors now have some limited access, while the “H” share market in Hong Kong is open to foreign investors but not mainland investors.
