  • Political Crises and the stock market integration of emerging markets
    Journal of Banking and Finance, 2012
    Co-Authors: Bart Frijns, Alireza Touranirad, Ivan Indriawan
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates the role of Political Crises in explaining the degree of stock market integration in emerging markets over the period 1991–2006. Using the International Crisis Behavior database, which contains detailed information on Political Crises around the world, and employing data on more than 15,500 firms, we assess whether Political Crises affect stock market integration in 19 emerging markets in South and East Asia, Latin America, and Central and Eastern Europe. We conclude that Crises with certain characteristics generally reduce the level of stock market integration in these regions. In particular, the beginning of a Political crisis, its severity, the involvement of the US in the conflict, and the number of parties involved in a crisis all have impacts on the level of stock market integration in these markets.

  • Political Crises and the Stock Market Integration of Emerging Markets
    SSRN Electronic Journal, 2010
    Co-Authors: Alireza Tourani-rad, Bart Frijns, Ivan Indriawan
    Abstract:

    This paper investigates the role of Political Crises in explaining the change in the degree of stock market integration for emerging markets over the period 1991-2006. Using a unique database, the International Crisis Behavior database, which contains detailed information about Political Crises around the world, we assess whether Political Crises affect stock market integration for 19 emerging markets from Far East Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We find that Crises and their characteristics significantly reduce the level of stock market integration for these regions. In particular, the start of a Political crisis, its severity, US involvement in the conflict and the number of actors involved in the crisis all have a significant impact on the level of stock market integration for the emerging markets in each region.

  • infectious diseases social economic and Political Crises anthropogenic disasters and beyond venezuela 2019 implications for public health and travel medicine
    Revista Panamericana de Enfermedades Infecciosas, 2019
    Co-Authors: Jose Antonio Suarez, Lolimar Carreno, Alberto Panizmondolfi, Francisco J Marcocanosa, Hector Freilij, Jorge Riera, Alejandro Risquez, Andrea G Rodriguezmorales, Evimar Hernandezrincon, Jorge L Alvaradosocarras
    Abstract:

    During last months, there have been a significant increase in the evidences showing the catastrophic health situation in Venezuela. There are multiple epidemics, increase in emerging and reemerging infectious, tropical and parasitic diseases as consequences of the social, economic and Political Crises, which would be considered today a clearly anthropogenic disaster. Venezuela is facing in 2019, the worse sanitary conditions, with multiple implications for public health and travel medicine. So far, from a global perspective, this situation will be an impediment for the achievement of the sustainable development goals (SDG) in 2030. In this multiauthor review, there is a comprehensive analysis of the situation for infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, their impact in the Americas region, given the migration crisis as well as the comparative status of the SDG 2030. This discussion can provide input for prioritizing emerging health problems and establish a future agenda.

  • Infectious Diseases, Social, Economic and Political Crises, Anthropogenic Disasters and Beyond: Venezuela 2019 – Implications for Public Health and Travel Medicine

  • Budget support and policy/Political dialogue: donor practices in handling (Political) Crises
    Research Papers in Economics, 2010
    Co-Authors: Nadia Molenaers, Linas Cepinskas, Bert Jacobs
    Abstract:

    Budget support entered the aid scene at the turn of the millennium and it is considered as the aid modality par excellence to foster ownership and more effective aid through institutional reform. In 2008-2009 a number of Political events in aid receiving African countries however pointed at the difficult relation between budget support and (Political) governance. The paper analyzes donor policies and practices surrounding policy/Political dialogue and budget support and offers a number of policy recommendations on where and how to deal with “Political” issues. Based on a desk study carried in March-May 2010 at the request of the Belgian Directorate-General for Development Cooperation, the paper presents a substantial analysis of Mozambique and Zambia where two recent Political Crises were successfully resolved by five donor countries. The authors argue that using budget support to drive both democratic and economic change is hazardous. Acknowledging the synergy between policy and Political dialogue, the paper posits that technocratic and democratic issues should be separated because there are obvious trade-offs between them. Democratic governance issues should be dealt with in a separate high level forum, and in a pro-active rather than reactive way. In addition, donors need to ensure their interventions do not undermine recipient countries efforts to democratize. In effect, they should lower their ambitions: 1) with regard to what they can do: change cannot be bought, it can only be supported; 2) with regard to what recipient governments can do: even when there is commitment, change is most often gradual, not in big leaps. If anything, politics and Political savvy should be brought in more, because every reform (however technocratic) is profoundly Political.
