This paper examines the effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on South Asian economies' output growth, utilizing recent panel cointegration testing and estimation techniques. Annual panel data on eight SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) member countries' macroeconomic variables over the period 1960- 2013 are employed in empirical analysis. Using various heterogeneous panel cointegration and panel causality tests, a bi-directional relationship between FDI and growth is found. We find evidence for both FDI-led growth and growth-induced FDI hypotheses for the South Asian economies over the sample period. Individual member countries exhibit heterogeneity in terms of the direction or existence of causality subject to their idiosyncratic economic conditions. Among various regressors, FDI, financial development, human capital, and government consumption show the most significant positive effects on output growth. As determinants of FDI, GDP, financial development, human capital, and government consumption are found significant in the region. The bi-directional causality between FDI and growth is found robust to the inclusion of other control variables and using different estimation techniques.

Foreign investors'shares and their influences on the Korean stock market have never been larger and greater before since the market was completely open to foreign investors in 1992 Quantitatively and qualitatively as well, as a result, changes in the patterns of foreign investments have caused enormous effects on the interactions of major macroeconomic indices of the Korean economy. This paper is intended to investigate the causal relations of the four variables, foreigners'buy-sell ratios, stock returns, ￦/＄ exchange rates and $\yen$/＄ exchange rates, over the two time periods of the pre-IMF (1996.1.1-1997.8.15) and the post-IMF (1997.8.16-2000.6.15) based on the daily data of the variables. Granger Causality Test, Forecast Error Variance Decomposition(FEVD) using VAR model and Impulse Response Function were implemented for the empirical analysis.

The purpose of this study is to estimate and analyse the relationship between efficiency of bank industry and macroeconomic variables. We employ Johansen's multivariate cointegration methodology, since the model must be stationary to avoid the spurious results. The empirical results show that our model is stationary as well as mean-reverting. This paper also applies impulse-response functions to get additional information regarding the responses of the bank spread to the shocks economic variables such as long and short term interest rates differential, banking organ liquidity, business cycle index, and foreigner's net equity investment. The results indicate that while the bank spread respond positively to liquidity and equity investment shocks and then decay very quickly.

This study analyzes global inflation synchronization and derives policy implications for the Korean economy. Unlike previous studies that assume a single global inflation factor, this study investigates if inflation in Korea can be explained further by other global inflation factors. Our principal component analysis provides three principal components for global inflation that are linked to the Korea inflation rate - the first component is closely related to OECD inflation, and the second and third components reflect China's inflation. This study empirically demonstrates via in-sample fitting and out-of-sample forecasting that the three principal components of global inflation play a significant role in explaining and predicting Korean inflation in the short-term, while their role is limited in the mid-term. Domestic macroeconomic variables are found to be more important for the mid-term movements of the Korean inflation rate. The empirical results here suggest that the Bank of Korea should focus more on domestic economic conditions than on global inflation when implementing monetary policy because global factors are likely to be already reflected in domestic macro-variables in the mid-term.

본 연구는 오피스의 소비재 및 투자재 특성을 고려하여 거시경제변수와 미시특성변수를 포함한 모형을 구성하고, 유효 임대료 자료를 기반으로 국내 주요 업무지구인 도심권과 강남권 중소형 오피스 빌딩 임대료 결정요인을 비교 분석하여 투자적 시사점을 제시하고자 하였다. 분석방법은 시계열자료와 횡단면자료를 함께 포함하여 분석이 가능하며, 추정량 편의 가능성이 낮은 것으로 알려진 동적패널모형을 사용하였다. 두 모형의 분석결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 도심권·강남권 중소형 오피스 빌딩 임대료 영향 요인 분석결과 변수와 계수값 부호 측면에서 도심권 분석 결과와 동일하게 나타났다. 따라서 도심권과 강남권 중소형 오피스 빌딩의 임대료는 건물 및 입지특성과 함께 거시경제환경의 변화에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타나 공간 소비재와 투자재의 특성을 모두 가지는 시장으로 해석된다. 위의 분석결과를 바탕으로 투자적 측면의 시사점은 다음과 같이 제시된다. 첫째, 도심권에 위치한 입지는 양호하지만 노후화된 중소형 오피스 빌딩의 재건축은 현실적으로 한계가 있다. 따라서 이러한 중소형 오피스 빌딩의 가치는 지속적으로 낮아질 가능성이 높아질 수 있어 투자시 이에 대한 고려가 필요하다. 둘째, 도심권의 경우 주차여건이 가격에 큰 영향을 줄 수 있으므로 도심권 중소형 오피스 빌딩 투자시 대상 빌딩의 주차환경과 개선 가능성에 대한 고려가 중요하다고 할 수 있다. 마지막으로 강남권 중소형 오피스 시장은 거시경제환경의 변화에 보다 민감한 시장으로 향후 이자율과 경제성장 등에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 통화정책 등의 변화를 주요한 투자기준으로 고려해야 할 필요성이 높다고 할 수 있다.

This paper investigates the long run hedging ability of precious metals against the risks associated with adverse conditions of economic and financial variables for Pakistan, the USA, China, and India. Monthly data of gold, silver, platinum, stock returns, exchange rate, industrial production, and inflation was collected for the selected economies. Saikkonen and Lutkepohl (2002) unit root test was employed to access the unit root properties of the data series and identify the break dates. Furthermore, this study used the Johansen cointegration test with and without structural breaks to identify the long-run relationship between metals prices and different financial and economic variables. The findings suggest that the time series under study have unit root problem at level with and without structural breaks. Without considering structural breaks, the Johansen trace test indicates that in Pakistan and China, gold, silver, and platinum hold a cointegrating relationship with macroeconomic and financial variables. For the US, gold indicates cointegration which supports the hedging ability of gold against inflation, stock, and industrial production in the long run. The results of the cointegration test after incorporating the structural breaks provide even stronger evidence of the long-run relationship of precious metals and consumer prices, exchange rate, and stock prices.

본 연구는 코로나19 팬데믹 기간 동안 서울시 대규모 아파트단지를 대상으로 가격 영향 요인을 도출하고, 이질적 시장으로 인식되고 있는 강남권과 비강남권 지역의 차이를 비교하였다. 분석방법은 본 연구의 요약과 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 서울시 모형 분석결과 대규모 단지 아파트 가격의 변화는 기존 연구결과와 달리 아파트의 개별특성은 유의한 영향을 주지 않는 반면 거시경제변수인 이자율과 통화량에 의해 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 이자율과 총통화량 변수의 단위를 고려했을 때 두 변수들이 아파트 매매가격에 영향을 미치는 정도가 매우 높은것으로 판단된다. 둘째, 강남권 모형 분석결과 서울시 전체 모형과 같이 아파트 가격의 변화는 이자율과 통화량에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 세대수와 평균면적이 클수록 아파트가격은 높아지는 것으로 나타났다, 셋째, 비강남권 모형 분석결과 또한 이자율과 통화량에 의해 아파트가격이 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 나타났으나, 강남권 모형과 달리 미시특성변수 중 지하철역과의 거리, 용적률이 매매가격에 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 세 모형 분석결과 이자율과 통화량이 공통적으로 아파트가격 변화의 주요한 영향요인으로 나타났으나, 비강남권 지역의 대규모 단지 아파트가격이 이자율과 통화량의 변화에 보다 민감하며, 이에 비해 강남권 지역의 아파트가격은 이들 변수에 대해 둔감하게 반응하는 특징을 보여주고 있다.

There are many asset prices which are interlinked and have a bearing on the stock market index. Studies have shown that the interrelationship among these asset prices vary and are inconsistent. The ultimate aim of this study is to examine the dynamic relationship between gold price, oil price, exchange rate and stock index. Monthly time series data has been utilized by the researcher to examine the interrelationship between four variables. The relationship among stock exchange rate index, oil price and gold price have been undertaken using regression and granger causality test. The results indicate that the exchange rate and oil price have an indirect influence on NIFTY; whereas gold price had a direct impact on NIFTY. It is evident from the results that volatility in the price of gold is mainly dependent on the exchange rate and vice versa. All the variables affect NIFTY in some way or the other. However, gold has a direct and vital relationship. From the study findings, it can be concluded that macroeconomic variables like commodity prices and foreign exchange rate, gold and oil, have a strong relationship on the return on securities at the national stock exchange of India.

The recent global financial crisis triggered by the sub-prime mortgage debacle in the United States hit hard most ASEAN countries that have just recovered from the unprecedented economic crisis ten years ago. This paper, using individual time-series and panel data from 1990 to 2009, intends to investigate and compare the impacts of the two aforementioned economic crises on trade in the four developing ASEAN countries that encompass Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In doing so, the paper traces the behaviors of main macroeconomic variables before and after the crises on graphs, and then estimates classical export and import demand functions that include real exchange rate, home and foreign GDPs as explanatory variables. In the estimation functions, two dummy variables are added to consider the effects of the two economic crises separately. Individual country data analyses reveal that by and large the 1997 economic crisis seems hit those ASEAN countries' exports and imports harder than the recent global financial crisis. Surprisingly the recent financial crisis turns out more or less statistically insignificant for those countries' export and import performances. The fixed effect model estimation using panel data of those four ASEAN countries also shows that the 1997 economic crisis had affected exports and imports of those countries negatively while the recent global financial crisis was not statistically significant. These results indicate that overall the effect from the 1997 crisis was more devastating than that of the recent global crisis for those ASEAN countries.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is one of the primary zones that stimulates economic development in today's globalized world. It promotes technological developments in worldwide communication and manufacturing systems, as well as economic growth and development. Many economic activities, such as international trade and foreign direct investment, rely heavily on contemporary information and communications technologies (FDI). The goal of this study is to look at the dynamic relationship between FDI, ICT, trade openness, and economic growth in the context of BRICS countries from 2000 to 2018, with Gross Domestic Product as the dependent variable and Telephone subscriptions, Mobile subscriptions, Broadband subscriptions, Internet subscribers, Secure internet servers, Trade, and Foreign direct investment as the independent variables.Two variables are used as proxies to manage the macroeconomic environment, while five variables are used as proxies for ICT infrastructures. The outcomes of this study are analyzed using Generalized Methods of Movements (GMM). According to this study, ICT has a positive impact on the economic growth of a few countries. Trade openness and foreign direct investment, on the other hand, have a negative impact on economic growth. As growing countries, the BRICS must participate in economic reform and liberalization measures. This report suggests policy proposals for improving ICT standards, focusing especially on economic growth, trade openness, and increasing foreign investment in the BRICS countries.
