Abstract We estimate international spillover effects of US Quantitative Easing (QE) on emerging market economies (EMEs). Using a Bayesian panel VAR we find that an expansionary QE shock has significant financial variables in EMEs. It leads to exchange rate appreciation, reduction long-term bond yields, stock boom, and increase capital inflows these countries. These are stronger for the “Fragile...

The present work aimed to examine the association between Corporate Social performance (CSP) and corporate financial (CFP) taking into account social irresponsibility. Here, we used a sample of French non-financial firms listed on SBF 120 2011 2016. Our findings provided evidence that responsibility (CSR) irresponsibility (CSI) exert opposite effects CFP. Using an estimation vector autoregressi...

We examine the Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) transmission over Exchange Rate Volatility (ERV) for 8 Emerging Market Economies (EME) using recent panel VAR methodology of Abrigo and Love (Stata Journal 16:778–804, 2016). The econometric investigation reveals that: (a) both domestic US-EPU shocks exert positive effects on ERV, (b) contribution to ERV fluctuations overcomes own EPU’s share, (c...

The var gene family of Plasmodium falciparum encodes the variant surface antigen Plasmodium falciparum erythrocyte membrane protein 1 (PfEMP1). PfEMP1 is considered an important pathogenicity factor in P. falciparum infection because it mediates cytoadherence to host cell endothelial receptors. var genes can be grouped into three major groups, A, B, and C, and the conserved var genes, var1-4, a...

The Plasmodium falciparum variant erythrocyte surface antigens known as PfEMP1, encoded by the var gene family, are thought to play a crucial role in malaria pathogenesis because they mediate adhesion to host cells and immuno-modulation. Var genes have been divided into three major groups (A, B and C) and two intermediate groups (B/A and B/C) on the basis of their genomic location and upstream ...

This paper empirically examines the link between cost of sovereign borrowing and climate risk for 40 advanced emerging economies. We find that vulnerability to direct effects change matters substantially more costs than resilience. Moreover, magnitude effect on bond yields is progressively higher countries deemed highly vulnerable change. Finally, a set panel structural VAR models indicate reac...
