Dr. Gupta is a thoughtful, scholarly man who lives in Delhi, but his Committee went on for a long time and the government took even longer and in June 2000, both the BSE and NSE launched stock index futures.

    THE DIVERSITY OF CONVERGENCE: STATE AUTHORITY, ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE AND THE POLITICS OF SECURITIES FINANCE IN CHINA AND INDIA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Matthew C.J. Rudolph May 2006 © 2006 Matthew C.J. Rudolph THE DIVERSITY OF CONVERGENCE: STATE AUTHORITY, ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE AND THE POLITICS OF SECURITIES FINANCE IN CHINA AND INDIA Matthew C.J. Rudolph, Ph.D. Cornell University 2006 This dissertation explains contrasting patterns of financial reform in China and India. It focuses on “securitization” – the structural shift from credit-based finance (banking) to securities-based finance (stocks and bonds) – as a politically consequential phenomenon in comparative and international political economy. The analysis revises common theories of the developmental state – theories derived from Gerschenkron’s emphasis on directed-credit and the state’s role in capital formation – in light of securitization’s growing global importance in the last twenty years. Contrasting responses to securitization are explained using international and domestic variables including the profile of a country’s exposure to the world economy, the distributional coalition supporting the state and the prevailing structure of property rights. At a theoretical level, the dissertation highlights the political consequences of securitization for state authority in the economy, arguing that directed-credit; 1) enhanced state discretion in the management of distributional coalitions; 2) facilitated the perpetuity of poorly specified property rights; and 3) mitigated the consequences of the country’s position with respect to external trade and investment. Empirically, the research presented here demonstrates that China and India responded differently to the process of securitization, contrary to the expectations of globalization theories that identify finance as a domain in which international forces favoring convergence should be strongest.

  • Indian Derivatives Markets1
    INDIAN DERIVATIVES MARKETS1 Asani Sarkar Forthcoming in: The Oxford Companion to Economics in India, edited by Kaushik Basu, to be published in 2006 by Oxford University Press, New Delhi 1 I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Arkadev Chatterjea, Neel Krishnan, Golaka C. Nath and V. Soundararajan in the preparation of this article. The views expressed in this article are mine alone, and do not necessarily reflect those of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or the Federal Reserve System. Derivatives OUP 1 1. Rise of Derivatives The global economic order that emerged after World War II was a system where many less developed countries administered prices and centrally allocated resources. Even the developed economies operated under the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. The system of fixed prices came under stress from the 1970s onwards. High inflation and unemployment rates made interest rates more volatile. The Bretton Woods system was dismantled in 1971, freeing exchange rates to fluctuate. Less developed countries like India began opening up their economies and allowing prices to vary with market conditions. Price fluctuations make it hard for businesses to estimate their future production costs and revenues.2 Derivative securities provide them a valuable set of tools for managing this risk. This article describes the evolution of Indian derivatives markets, the popular derivatives instruments, and the main users of derivatives in India. I conclude by assessing the outlook for Indian derivatives markets in the near and medium term. 2. Definition and Uses of Derivatives A derivative security is a financial contract whose value is derived from the value of something else, such as a stock price, a commodity price, an exchange rate, an interest rate, or even an index of prices.

BANKING SYSTEM AND STOCK MARKET UPDATE A. Introduction 50. The 2004 Financial System Stability Assessment (FSSA) attested to the turnaround in Pakistan’s banking system (IMF Country Report No. 04/215). Seven years of restructuring, recapitalization, and privatization had by mid-2004 transformed the ownership structure, risk management, profitability, and reach of the system, allowing asset quality to improve and credit to expand into previously underserved segments of the economy. Nonetheless, the FSSA cautioned that rapid credit growth “could be problematic if sustained.” 51. This chapter updates some of the FSSA findings and tracks developments over the last 1½ years. Lending activity appears to have approached “boom” thresholds in the period since the FSSA, and the stock market underwent a contained boom-bust cycle in early 2005. Despite this, the banking system has continued to strengthen on an aggregate level, although trends at a few individual banks underscore the need for continued supervisory vigilance. Most financial soundness indicators (FSIs) remain on an improving trajectory. Nevertheless, bank-by-bank stress test results suggest that a few large banks are vulnerable to some shocks. The authorities have continued implementing their financial sector reform agenda and followed-up on FSSA recommendations.

Email: [email protected] Abstract: Using badla financing as a measure of leverage we examine both temporal and contemporaneous links among badla financing, stock returns and market volatility. We find that the market volatility is significantly and positively related to the change in badla financing and to past market returns. We also observe a significantly positive temporal causation between prior market returns and both badla financing as well as stock price volatility. Keywords: Badla Financing, Stock Returns, Market Volatility, Call Money Rate, Exchange Rate. JEL Classification Number: G10, G14 1. Introduction An understanding of the behavior of financial markets has never been more important than it is today. Following the improvement in technology, many new risk management tools have been introduced that have increased the efficiency of the market. Financial reforms and openness have brought an unbelievable change in the behavior of financial markets and overall stimulated the activities in these markets. Now these markets are more efficient and dynamic/volatile than before. Since forecasting of stock price volatility has many practical applications, there is an increasing interest in modelling the volatilities of stock returns.

  • A Case Study of Mumbai and Karachi Stock Exchanges
    The Lahore Journal of Economics 11 : 2 (Winter 2006) pp. 79-105 Regulatory Response to Market Volatility and Manipulation: A Case Study of Mumbai and Karachi Stock Exchanges Jamshed Y. Uppal* and Inayat U. Mangla** Abstract This study examines the regulatory intervention in India and Pakistan in response to episodes of excessive market volatility and manipulation and its effectiveness in achieving declared objectives. Our empirical analysis indicates that while the Indian regulatory agencies seem to have achieved their objectives in curtailing manipulative and speculative behavior, there appears to be little impact on such behavior in the case of the Karachi Stock Exchange. Significant differences in the regulatory effectiveness and industry structure may explain the difference in the market behavior outcomes following regulatory interventions. A stronger competitive environment in India, because of the existence of multiple organized exchanges, seems to facilitate effective enforcement of public policy. Key Words: Stock market volatility, manipulation, speculation, scams, corporate governance, regulatory dialectics. Jel Classification: G15, G18, G28, K22, O16 1. Introduction The last two decades have seen unprecedented growth and volatility in the stock markets of developing countries. As emerging markets continue to grow and assume a more prominent role in the economy, the regulatory framework evolves along side, although with delays and sub-optimal solutions, which are characteristic of political processes. Regulatory development takes place, in many cases, as a response to financial crisis, scandals and scams in an effort to restore the investors’ confidence in the markets and institutions. Financial service firms on the other hand indulge * Corresponding Author: Associate Professor of Finance, Department of Business and Economics, Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C.

    Shamshad Akhtar: Pakistan’s capital markets – mobilizing for growth Keynote address by Dr Shamshad Akhtar, Governor of the State Bank of Pakistan, at the Pakistan Capital Markets Conference organized by Pakistan Business Council and IFC, Karachi, 5 September 2006. * * * Good Morning everyone. At the onset I would like to thank Mr. Saleem Raza for inviting me to speak at this conference, and I would also like to acknowledge all the distinguished participants. A lot has been done in Pakistan in terms of financial sector reforms. These reforms have been substantive both in the banking sector as well as in capital markets. We have implemented what you may call the ‘first generation of reforms’ and now we are positioning ourselves for the next ten years. I think there is need to give another jolt to the system and enhance, broaden and deepen the reforms. The first phase has yielded positive results and we are reaping the benefits of that phase. It is in the context of the second generation of reforms that we need to put together all the ideas that come out of international evidence and structure the way forward. This I believe is very important and I hope that today’s forum will give us the opportunity to debate these issues because it’s all about policy choices, and we have to choose a route which is more conducive for Pakistan. Personally I am fascinated and amazed by the changes in the global financial landscape. I think if effectively exploited, these opportunities will augur well for emerging markets in general, and for Pakistan in particular.

  • A Study of Foreign Institutional Investors' (FII) Investment in Indian Equity Market
    A study of Foreign Institutional Investors' (FII) Investment in Indian Equity Market A Synopsis submitted to Gujarat Technological University for the Award of Doctor of Philosophy in Management by JOSHI MRUNAL CHETANBHAI Enrollment No. 139997292006 under supervision of Dr. Jayesh N. Desai GUJARAT TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY AHMEDABAD [March – 2019] 1 Title of the thesis A study of Foreign Institutional Investors' (FII) Investment in Indian Equity Market Abstract Economic development is essential for all the countries, especially for the developing countries / emerging economies. As economic development provides solution to many problems viz. related to unemployment, poverty, providing basic necessity of people of developing countries, increasing national output ect. It also helps in improving quality of life and wellbeing of people over there. Economic development depends up on production function of Land, Labour and Capital. Any of the country can not make changes in their existing land available to them easily as well as population (labour) can not be immediately (in short-term) change in its demography. But capital can be raised at faster rate and can be used in developing labour as well as to exploit use of other resources optimally. Foreign investment is one of the important good source of raising capital, but there is a hazard of covenants and controls of lending countries. But if such resources are utilized properly, pace of economy’s growth rate can be accelerated. Like other counties FDI and FII are sources of such foreign capital in India. In India, SEBI and RBI are important regulatory bodies concerning to foreign capital. SEBI regulates mainly entry and operations of FII in Indian capital market.
