Three essays on corporate finance by Si, Fangbo

“…The results are more evident when the scandal is severer, when tainted institutions have a longer holding horizon before the shock, and when firms have greater shareholder-debtholder conflicts, poorer governance, and higher information asymmetry. Moreover, bond returns around the scandal announcement date are negatively correlated with stock returns. …”

Common risk factors in the returns on stocks : empirical evidence from Singapore. by Kurniawan, Morina., Ng, Chin Thin.

“…Five common risk factors are identified, three are stock-market factors (an overall market factor and factor related to firm size and book to market equity) and two are bond-market factors (term and default risk). This paper uses time series regression approach of Black, Jensen and Scholes (1972) to study the average returns on 453 randomly selected stocks listed in Singapore stock exchange (SGX) from the period July 2007 until June 2009. …”
