Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In the absence of a formal institutional framework, East Asia has evolved to be one of the most integrated areas in the world over the past several decades, both economically and financially. China’s astonishingly rapid rise is believed to reshape the international financial system and drive greater regional financial and economic integration in East Asia. This Special Issue aims to bring together a collection of articles that address issues concerning the monetary and financial market integration in East Asia and the rise of China. We hope that this collection of papers will add to the existing literature, both at the theoretical and empirical level, and advance the understanding of the process of East Asian monetary and financial market integration and the consequences.

Using event study methodology, this study examines stock liquidity on and around stock split days through three subperiods of study, including the first (2004–2006), second (2007–2009), [...] Read more.
We test the impact of stock split rule changes on liquidity behavior in Bursa Malaysia during 2004–2020. Using event study methodology, this study examines stock liquidity on and around stock split days through three subperiods of study, including the first (2004–2006), second (2007–2009), and third (2010–2020) period. We find that liquidity improvement is short-lived in the first and second periods, while it is a long-lived phenomenon in the third period. Firms in the first and second period experienced liquidity improvement only on the split announcement day, while it lasts up to a year after the Ex-date for firms in the third period. Our findings also show a liquidity improvement after the Ex-date only in the third period for the groups of firms categorized based on the liquidity, split factor, and other simultaneous announcements. The findings suggest a positive effect of stock split rule changes implemented by the Securities Commission. Full article

This paper intended to employ a portfolio approach to assess the effect of exchange rate expectation on Chinese RMB internationalization and empirically test the interactive effects among short-term capital flows, RMB appreciation expectation and the internationalization process using a VAR model with monthly data ranging from February 2004 to December 2020. The results suggest that RMB exchange rate appreciation could lead to an increase in the foreign demand for RMB and RMB denominated assets, while RMB internationalization would attract more short-term capital inflow due to the reduced transaction costs. The empirical evidence from the VAR model estimation confirms the finding that expected RMB appreciation induces short-term capital inflow and promotes RMB internationalization. The robustness checks confirm the evidence. The results have important policy implication for RMB internationalization and for maintaining a sound and stable financial system. Full article
