Volatility and liquidity in Eastern Europe financial markets under efficiency and transparency conditions

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Following the consequences of the global financial crises, transparency and efficiency conditions of a local economic system have become important remedies for restoring of financial markets. This study provides measure of transparency and efficiency with correlation to liquidity and volatility and is taking into account the stock price reaction of emerging financial stock markets of Eastern Europe area and Turkey. We find that observed countries don't fully answer the expected sign of transparency, liquidity and risk measure, which meets the innovation from previous works (Berglöf, Pajuste, 2005). It raises doubts concerning functioning of legal basement in these countries and affects the decisions about investments. In line with previous research (Ivanov, Lomev and Bogdanova, 2012) our findings show that these countries don't prove to have certain transparency expectations, which could result in a limited access to market information and in a decrease of market efficiency.

Among many possible advantages of these models is consideration of a comparatively wide dataset (Elgin & Schneider, 2013).…”

The Structure – Conduct – Performance Paradigm in the European Union Banking

As we know that the banking system is very important part especially in the condition of European Union banking, we can say that it is very important to focus on the examination of the banking systems performance (Galloppo et al, 2015;Rajnoha et al, 2016). The performance must be examined also in the context of market structure, as the number of banks and the strength of their market position, can affect the performance of whole banking system (Belás, Polach, 2011;Kubiszewska, 2017).…”

International management amid fake news and corruption

“…Businesses should also commit to transparency by disclosing information on the implementation of integrity policies, political contributions and donations, which can be seen as a means of enhancing corporate reputation (Galloppo et al , 2015).…”
