    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Impact of Macroeconomic Factors on Stock Market: Evidence from  Istanbul Stock Exchange ]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In contemporary economic world, financial markets in general and stock markets  in particular play a vital role in financing the investments and to extent credit to the  entrepreneurs. This fact has opened a new avenue of research into the relationship between  stock market and macroeconomic structure that is development/reaction/impact of stock  market across macroeconomic fluctuations.     This paper analyzes long-term equilibrium relationship between macroeconomic factors  and Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) Index. The macroeconomic factors are represented by a  set of variables which include interest rate, inflation (consumer price index), industrial  production index, money supply (M1), growth (GDP) and real exchange rate. We employ  Johansen co-integration method to explore the above mentioned relationship among these  variables in a span of time between 1998:1 and 2008:12. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[This paper examines the impact of military expenditure and economic  growth on external debt for a panel of five selected AA countries  including Bangladesh, India, epal, Pakistan and rilanka, over the period  of 1988-2008. sing Pedroni’s (2004) test for panel cointegration, it was  found that there is a long-run relationship between external debt, economic  growth and military expenditure. The study finds that external debt is  elastic with respect to military expenditure in the long run and inelastic  in the short run. In the long run, 1% increase in military expenditure  increase external debt between 1.18 % and 1.24%, while 1% increases  in economic growth reduce external debt between 0.64% and 0.79%, by  employed and M estimator respectively. In the short run, 1%  increase in military expenditure increases external debt by 0.15%, while  1% increase in economic growth reduces external debt by 0.47 %.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Impact of Regulatory Reforms on the Banking System in Bosnia and Herzegovina]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In the last two decades, we have witnessed great changes and growth in the financial sector worldwide. While some countries have experienced economic development, others experienced banking crisis which sometimes lead to costly bank failures and overall disruption in economic activity. The extent to which the financial system can support economic growth depends mostly on the stability and efficiency of the banking sector due to the fact that banks are still the main financial intermediaries.   This comparative study will be conducted by applying a discriminate analysis about the implementation of set of common rules for regulating the banking system (Basel II) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia, as well as preparation of these countries for implementation of Basel III. The main goal of the paper is to analyze how and why the new global financial regulations in the banking sector are applied differently in different countries and regions.   These questions are answered by analyzing the implementation of Basel II, results of appliance of this rules as well as expectations from Basel III.   Keywords: Banking system, Economic development, Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, Risk, Implementation, EU, Standards. ]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Impact of Related Acquisition Strategy on Bidding Company Performance]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[: Strategy researchers believe that the better the strategic fit or relatedness between the bidding and acquired firms, the greater should be the economic gain from the merger. Although merger performance has been widely researched we recognized that empirical results on merger performance are inconclusive and that there are research gaps related to geographical settings, time frame and methodological approach. Thus, the research question examined in our study was to find out if acquisition strategy or relatedness of merging companies increases performance of the bidding company. Also we considered moderating effect of premerger bidder profitability on the performance of the merger. Our study predicts that relatedness between merging companies has a positive impact on the merger’s performance. Results of 49 mergers completed in 2008 in EU member countries and Switzerland show that related mergers have better merger scores than unrelated mergers. We also predict that the impact of the related acquisition strategy becomes more positive as bidder premerger performance decreases.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Most studies on interlanguage pragmatics have been confined to the production aspect of L2 learners’ pragmatic development, losing sight of pragmatic comprehension and its relationship with listening comprehension and textbook-based pragmatic input. The present study aimed to fill the gap by investigating the relationship between the type of input provided by textbooks and L2 learners’ linguistic and pragmatic comprehension. It adopted a listening instrument that measured pragmatic comprehension and linguistic comprehension. Learners’ pragmatic and linguistic comprehension was compared across four groups of male and female advanced students with different textbook backgrounds. The results of ANOVAs and the follow-up Scheffe tests revealed significant differences among the groups in terms of pragmatic comprehension (PC) and linguistic comprehension (LC). In addition, Pearson correlation results suggested that the relationship between PC and LC subtasks in the two groups was not statistically meaningful and, accordingly, indicated construct differences between linguistic and pragmatic comprehension.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Impact of volatility and performance of major stock markets on Sarajevo Stock Exchange in 2008 – 2012 periods]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Previous research indicates that performance and volatility of small and regional stock markets can be influenced by the performance of major world exchanges such as New York, Frankfurt or Tokyo stock exchange. This research analyses weekly composite index data for SASE (Sarajevo Stock Exchange), NYSE, NIKKEI, and DAX indices, for the period from 2008 until the end of 2012. This time period contains significant events in the US and the rest of the world, including the housing bubble, and a great recession which followed after. Significant volatility of SASE was noted in 2007 while later periods suggest lesser volatility after a significant drop in index value in middle of 2007. The data was analyzed in a side by side comparison, by the method of regression in order to establish a correlation of NYSE, NIKKEI and DAX indexes with Sarajevo Stock Exchange index. Furthermore the performance was visually represented, segmented into several dynamic and steady periods, whose regressions were separately calculated, in order to see the difference in steady and dynamic periods. Previous research suggests strong correlation between regional and major stock market indices at times of crisis, a so-called spillover effect, while low correlation at times of low volatility. With these results, we will be able to understand the impact of major world indices on volatility and performance movements of Sarajevo Stock Exchange in the long and short run, as well as at times of low and high volatility. The results of research suggest that when there is less dynamics in major world indices, the SASE market becomes less affected by their results and by the global market trends, thus its performance is then dictated to a higher degree by regional or country specific financial, economic and to some degree political factors. One such case this paper analyzed is evident in the ‘dynamic period’ of some 18 months, ranging from 01.01.2008-16.06.2009, where the impact of global recession on major world indexes spilled over to smaller regional exchanges; correlation between SASE and NYSE in that period is 0,92.    Keywords: stock price volatility, fundamental analysis, Sarajevo Stock Exchange, regression analysis, correlation analysis.  ]]></dcterms:abstract>
