本文是金融专业的Essay范例,题目是“Exchange rate and equity markets around the world and Pakistan(全球和巴基斯坦的汇率和股票市场)”,今天在当今世界外汇是一个关键的组件或工具对不同类型的企业,和许多国家的企业在以美元等外币,欧元等另一方面运动在股票市场指数是一个国家的财务业绩的关键指标。股票市场可能有看涨或持票趋势,这反映了股票市场在特定时期的相对强弱。它也显示了投资者对市场的信心和情绪。
Today in the present world foreign currency is a key component or tool for different kinds of businesses, and many countries in the world did businesses in foreign currencies like in Dollars, Euros etc. on the other hand movement in the stock market index is a key indicator for the financial performance of a country. Stock market may have bullish or bearer trend which reflect its relative strength in specific period. It also shows the investor confidence and sentiments toward markets.
The establishment of the relationship among the stock market and foreign exchange rates is important for some reasons. Initially, it can affect decisions about monetary policy and tax. Gavin (1989) analyze that financial market has a large impact on the aggregate demand. The policy maker should be aware about the relationship regarding stock market and demand. Secondly, the relation between the aggregate demand and stock markets may be used to forecast the direction of the exchange rate. It will be useful for multinational firms to actively manage their exposure associated to foreign contracts and exchange rate. Thirdly, currency is treated as a commodity or an asset in portfolio of investment funds. So the awareness about the relationship among currency and other assets in the portfolio of investment funds is important.
This is not the first study to look at the exchange rate and equity markets in the world as well as in Pakistan. Like Aquino analyzed the foreign exchange exposure countenance by Philippine companies around the Asian financial crisis. It was concluded that stock returns were not statistically significantly affected by the instability in foreign exchange. But after the crises, there was a significant impact of the fluctuations in exchange rate on the stock returns (Aquino 2005, 2006).
这并不是第一次对世界和巴基斯坦的汇率和股票市场进行研究。阿基诺分析了亚洲金融危机期间菲律宾公司面临的外汇风险。结果表明,外汇不稳定性对股票收益的影响不显著。但在危机发生后,汇率波动对股票收益产生了显著影响(Aquino 2005, 2006)。
Yau and Nieh investigated the relationship between Taiwan dollar/Japanese yen and the stock prices for the period from 1991 to 2005. They found that among the exchange rate and the stock prices of both countries there was no long-term relationship. But this linkage exists only to shorten the period (Yau and Nieh 2006).
But the present study is exceptional in the sense that it uses the most recent data of the exchange rate and stock market which may provide latest linkage to the investors and other policy makers in Pakistan.
There are three stock exchanges known as Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE), Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) and Islamabad Stock Exchange (ISE) currently operating in Pakistan. Among these Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) is considered as major and the well known stock market of Pakistan. It is regarded as a representative of all three stock exchanges of Pakistan. Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE) formed on September 18, 1947. It began its operation with five companies that have paid a capital of Rs.37 millions of dollars. The first index was the 50 index of trade and was done through open-out-cry system. But now KSE has 662 listed companies and considers a main economic and business hub of Pakistan. The daily KSE-100 Index published by the Karachi stock exchange is announced at 3:10 pm. Therefore KSE-100 index can be used as performance indicators of the stock market in Pakistan. KSE played an important role in the economy of Pakistan in different problems like political, social, financial and other issues (Karachi Stock Exchange, 2011).
巴基斯坦目前有卡拉奇证券交易所(KSE)、拉合尔证券交易所(LSE)和伊斯兰堡证券交易所(ISE)三家证券交易所。其中卡拉奇证券交易所(KSE)被认为是巴基斯坦的主要和著名的股票市场。它被认为是巴基斯坦所有三个证券交易所的代表。卡拉奇证券交易所(KSE)成立于1947年9月18日。五家公司投入了3700万卢比的资本,开始运营。第一个指标是50指数,是通过公开叫嚷系统进行的。但现在KSE拥有662家上市公司,并被视为巴基斯坦的主要经济和商业中心。卡拉奇证券交易所每天下午3点10分公布KSE-100指数。因此,KSE-100指数可以作为巴基斯坦股市的表现指标。KSE在巴基斯坦的经济中发挥着重要的作用,在不同的问题,如政治、社会、金融和其他问题(卡拉奇证券交易所,2011)。
To identify the linkage of foreign exchange rate with equity market is significant because of above reasons. So in this study the researcher tries to identify this relationship by using various statistical techniques.
Rationale of the study研究的基本原理
The currency market may be linked with equity market in many different ways. It can be seen that if there is an upward trend in the stock market, then there will be a large influx of foreign capital in the country due to international investors. This influx of foreign money would be a key indicator for the betterment of economic position of any country. The adversary also sustains that if there is a long downtrend visible on the stock market, foreign investors, the most likely rush to sell their shares that would have a substantial impact on the stock market of a country. This reasoning can be applied to all currencies and stock markets in the whole world (Kathy Lien, 2009).
货币市场可能以许多不同的方式与股票市场联系在一起。可以看出,如果股票市场出现上升趋势,那么就会有大量的外国资本由于国际投资者涌入该国。外国资金的流入将是任何国家经济状况改善的一个关键指标。对方还主张,如果股市出现明显的长期下跌趋势,外国投资者很可能会急于抛售股票,这将对一国的股市产生重大影响。这种推理可以应用于全世界所有的货币和股票市场(Kathy Lien, 2009)。
The basic idea behind this study is to provide a clue to the stock brokers, managers, planners, policy makers and regulatory authorities that they actively share information about the change in macroeconomic variables. AND also provide considerable information essential for them, which may be used for future decisions about stocks and stock markets of Pakistan especially about KSE noting the movement of the exchange rate in Pakistan. This investigation is also useful for executives, managers, responsible for the decisions, researchers and students who are not familiar with the exchange rate and securities markets in Pakistan.
Problem identification问题识别
Due to globalization and technological innovations any one can access the foreign markets. The business in foreign countries needed to intact with change in exchange rate dynamics. Since, the exchange rate can be defined as the price of currency of one country expressed in the currency of another country. So the change in the exchange rate might have some impact on the macroeconomic variables of any country. The stock market of Pakistan may be influenced due to change in exchange rate. So to identify this impact of exchange rate on the stock market is a matter which requires intentions.
由于全球化和技术革新,任何人都可以进入外国市场。外国业务需要不受汇率动态变化的影响。因此,汇率可以定义为一国的货币价格用另一国的货币表示。所以汇率的变化可能会对任何国家的宏观经济变量产生一定的影响。巴基斯坦的股票市场可能会受到汇率变化的影响。因此,确定汇率对股市的影响是一件需要用心去做的事情。

LITERATURE REVIEW
In the following section, there are some studies associated to this area of study that has been investigated earlier by other researchers.
Hussain et al. examined the Impact of Macroeconomics Variables on Stock market by using the periodical data of some macroeconomic variables such as foreign exchange rate, broad money M2, whole sale price (WSP) index, industrial production index (IPI), gross fixed capital formation and foreign exchange reserve. The period of time to study was started from 1986 to 2008. The result showed that, after the reform in 1991, the pressure of the exchange rates and reserves effects significantly to the equity market, while the variables as IIP, and GFCF had no significant effect on the stock prices. In addition, concluded that internal factors of the companies such as increasing the production and capital formation had no significant effect while external factors such as the exchange rate and reserves significantly affected the stock prices. (Hussain et al. 2009).
Hussain等利用汇率、广义货币M2、批发价格指数(WSP)、工业生产指数(IPI)、固定资本形成总额和外汇储备等宏观经济变量的周期性数据,考察了宏观经济变量对股票市场的影响。学习时间从1986年开始到2008年。结果表明,1991年改革后,汇率和外汇储备压力对股票市场有显著影响,而IIP、GFCF等变量对股票价格没有显著影响。此外,还得出结论,公司增加生产和资本形成等内部因素对股价的影响不显著,而汇率和外汇储备等外部因素对股价的影响显著。(Hussain et al. 2009)。
Nishat and Shaheen analyzed long-term relationships among set of macroeconomic variables and the equity market of Paksitan. The macroeconomic variables that were used in their study includes: industrial production index (IPI), the consumer price index (CPI), M1 and the value of an investment earning the money market rate. Vector error correction model was used to investigate the relationship from 1973 to 2004. It can be revealed that there is a fundamental connection between the equity market and the economy and showed that industrialized creation was the major positive determinant of Pakistani stock prices. On the other hand, inflation was the major negative determinant of equity prices in Pakistan. It was established that the macroeconomic variable granger caused stock movements in prices, the reverse causality was observed in the variable in industrial production and the stock prices. In addition, argued that statistically significant durations between fluctuations in the bag and changes in the real economy were relatively short. Additionally, it was further argued that statistically significant lag lengths between fluctuations in the stock market and changes in the real economy were relatively short (Nishat & Shaheen, 2004).
Bhattacharya et al. analyzed a case study to explore the linkage between stock market and macroeconomic variables such as Exchange Rate, Foreign Exchange Reserves and Value of Trade Balance. They used method of non-causation that was considered by Toda and Yamamoto (1995) for the period from 1990 to 2001. Proxy used in the investigation of stock market was Indian, the Bombay sensitive Index (BSI). The three major macroeconomic variables incorporated in the investigation was effective exchange rate, the foreign exchange reserves and the balance of trade. The study revealed the attractive resulted in the structure of the stock market Indian, mainly as regards the exchange rate, the foreign exchange reserves and the balance of trade. It is suggested that there is no relation between cost and equity the three macroeconomic variables studied ( Bhattacharya & Mukherjee, 2001).
Bhattacharya等通过案例研究,探讨股票市场与汇率、外汇储备、贸易平衡价值等宏观经济变量之间的联系。他们使用了Toda和Yamamoto(1995)对1990年至2001年期间的非因果关系的方法。在调查股票市场时使用的代理是印度的孟买敏感指数(BSI)。调查中纳入的三个主要宏观经济变量是有效汇率、外汇储备和贸易平衡。研究表明,吸引力导致了印度股市的结构,主要是在汇率、外汇储备和贸易平衡方面。有人认为,三个宏观经济变量研究的成本和权益之间没有关系(Bhattacharya & Mukherjee, 2001)。
Dimitrova examined the association between stock prices and the exchange rates using multivariate model. He focused on the stock markets in America (USA) and the United Kingdom (UK) during the period 1990-2004. The result of the study shows that there was a relationship between the exchange rate and the stock market. The examiner stressed that there was a positive correlation when the price of actions were the main variable and be expected negative when exchange rates were the main variable. (Dimitrova, 2005).
Sohail et al. conducted a study on Lahore stock exchange (LSE), the objective of that study was to observed the long-term, as well as the short-term associations between Lahore Stock Exchange (LSE) and some important variables. Using the monthly data for the variables from 2002 to 2008, it was found that there was a negative impact of the consumer price index (CPI) on the stock market returns in Pakistan while industrial production index (IPI), real effective exchange rate, the money supply had an important positive long-term effect on stock returns to Pakistan(Sohail & Hussain, 2009).
Sohail等人对Lahore stock exchange (LSE)进行了研究,该研究的目的是观察Lahore stock exchange (LSE)与一些重要变量之间的长期和短期关联。利用2002 - 2008年变量的月度数据,发现消费者价格指数(CPI)对巴基斯坦股市回报有负面影响,而工业生产指数(IPI),实际有效汇率,货币供应量对巴基斯坦的股票收益具有重要的长期正向影响(Sohail & Hussain, 2009)。
Robert Gay investigated time series relationship between stock exchange index and some of the macroeconomic variables of the price of oil and the type of change in China, India, Russia and Brazil, using the Box-Jenkins auto-regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model. It came to the conclusion of his study in which there was no significant association between exchange rate and the price of oil on the index of the stock market of these countries. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between past and present yields of the stock markets in these countries (Gay, 2008).
