At the end of 2008, CMS commissioned mergermarket to interview 100 Russian M&A and corporate decision makers to find out what they thought about the situation at the time and what their views on the future were. Falling commodity prices were viewed as the biggest threat, the Financial Services sector was expected to deliver the greatest growth for M&A activity and the bulk of inward investment was expected from Asia. The research revealed that two thirds of the respondents expected the overall level of M&A activity to increase over the course of 2009, with only one third predicting a fall. That third of respondents was right and, in general, the majority got it wrong or very wrong. The survey did get some things right – the predominance of Who knows? What’s the point?

  • Fundamental Factors Affecting the MOEX Russia Index: Retrospective Analysis1
    Fundamental Factors Affecting the MOEX Russia Index: Retrospective Analysis1 Agata Lozinskaia1[0000-0001-8723-275X] and Anastasiia Saltykova2[0000-0002-4147-6350] 1 National Research University Higher School of Economics, Perm, Russia 2 National Research University Higher School of Economics, Perm, Russia [email protected] Abstract. This paper is an empirical study of the changing nature of the de- pendence of fundamental factors on the stock market index, which is the trend identified earlier in the Russian stock market. We empirically test the impact of daily values of fundamental factors on the MOEX Russia Index from 2003 to 2018. The analysis of the ARIMA-GARCH (1,1) model with a rolling window reveals that the change in the power and direction of the influence of the fun- damental factors on the Russian stock market persists. The Quandt-Andrews breakpoint test and Bai-Perron test identify the number and likely location of structural breaks. We find multiple breaks probably associated with the dra- matic falls of the stock market index. The results of the regression models over the different regimes, defined by the structural breaks, can vary markedly over time. This research is of value in macroeconomic forecasting and in the invest- ment strategy development. Keywords: Russian stock market, fundamental factors, structural instability, structural breaks, rolling regression, breakpoint tests. 1 Introduction Fundamental analysis is widely used to study the Russian stock market [1, 5, 12, 16, 17, 23, 27] and has great importance to study stock market deeply. Despite relative success of using fundamental analysis, there is now mounting evidence that the pa- rameters of regression models are unstable and subject to structural breaks.
