This volume of the International Symposia in Economic Theory and
Econometrics explores the latest economic and financial developments in
Africa and Asia.
Chapters cover a range of topics such as: the relationship between good
stewardship, agency costs, and performance of South African firms; stock
market dynamics in Thailand, including risk & mutual fund clustering and
zero-investment portfolios strategies; and a special focus on financial
markets in Indonesia such as fundamental indexing with Markowitz mean
variance portfolios, a financial performance analysis of highway
companies before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, and a credit risk
scoring model for consumer financing.
Comparative Analysis of Trade and Finance in Emerging Economies also
addresses the issue of whether the West African Monetary Zone can form a
Currency Union, and, examines the impact of non-tariff measures of China
on the export of agricultural products of Laos.
These peer-reviewed papers touch on a variety of timely,
interdisciplinary subjects such as stock markets and the effects of
public policy.
Together, ISETE 31, is a crucial resource of current, cutting-edge
research for any scholar of international finance and economics.
