The Effects of COVID-19 Spread on the Egyptian Exchange Sectors: Winners and Losers across Time (preprint)

Abstract: This paper attempts to investigate the effects of Coronavirus spread on stock markets using panel data analysis, on daily basis over the period from March 1, 2020 until September 30, 2020. Coronavirus spread has been measured by daily cases and daily deaths per million of population, while stock return is measured by Δ in sectoral indices. This has been conducted after dividing the research period into 6 months from March to September and has been applied on 17 sectors in the Egyptian Exchange. Using panel data analysis, results indicate significant negative industry effects for each of banking sector (BANK), Food, Beverages and Tobacco sector (FOBT) and Health Care & Pharmaceuticals sector (HLTH). Besides, findings show significant positive industry effects for each of Contracting & Construction Engineering sector (COCE), Energy & Support Services sector (ENGY), IT, Media & Communication Services sector (IMCS), Shipping & Transportation Services sector (SHTS) and Trade & Distributors sector (TRDB). The robustness check supports the significant negative industry effects for each of Food, Beverages and Tobacco (FOBT) and Health Care & Pharmaceuticals (HLTH) (as losers) and the significant positive industry effects for each of Energy & Support Services (ENGY), Shipping & Transportation Services (SHTS) and Trade & Distributors (TRDB) (as winners).

The Effect of Banking Expansion on Profit Efficiency of Saudi Banks

Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the profit efficiency of the Saudi banks, and testing how it could be affected by banking expansion This has been conducted using a sample of 6 commercial banks (out of 11), and covering the period from 1998 to 2007 Profit efficiency has been measured, using the ratio of actual profitability to the best one, which a similar bank (in size) can realize Tests indicated that we could accept hypotheses regarding the effects of "availability of phone banking", "number of ATMs" and "number of branches" on profit efficiency of Saudi banks, also referred to the need to reject the hypotheses regarding the effects of "number of POSs", "availability of PC banking" and "availability of mobile banking"

The Dynamic Relationship between FinTech and Social Distancing under COVID-19 Pandemic: Digital Payments Evidence

Abstract: This paper investigats the opportunities of growth under restrictions of social distancing for FinTech. This has been conducted on 10 countries (United States, United Kingdom, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Japan, South Korea, Italy, India and Nigeria) during the period from March to June 2020. Results indicate that social distancing may affect digital payments. This has been supported for retail and recreation (X1), grocery and pharmacy (X2), transit stations (X4) and workplaces (X5), whithout any evidence about significant effects for parks (X3) and residentials (X6).

The effect of banking expansion on profit efficiency of saudi banks

Abstract: This paper aims at analyzing the profit efficiency of the Saudi banks, and testing how it could be affected by banking expansion. This has been conducted using a sample of 6 commercial banks (out of 11), and covering the period from 1998 to 2007. Profit efficiency has been measured, using the ratio of actual profitability to the best one, which a similar bank (in size) can realize. Tests indicated that we could accept hypotheses regarding the effects of "availability of phone banking", "number of ATMs" and "number of branches" on profit efficiency of Saudi banks, also referred to the need to reject the hypotheses regarding the effects of "number of POSs", "availability of PC banking" and "availability of mobile banking".

Estimation and Inference in Econometrics

Abstract: Offering a unifying theoretical perspective not readily available in any other text, this innovative guide to econometrics uses simple geometrical arguments to develop students' intuitive understanding of basic and advanced topics, emphasizing throughout the practical applications of modern theory and nonlinear techniques of estimation. One theme of the text is the use of artificial regressions for estimation, reference, and specification testing of nonlinear models, including diagnostic tests for parameter constancy, serial correlation, heteroscedasticity, and other types of mis-specification. Explaining how estimates can be obtained and tests can be carried out, the authors go beyond a mere algebraic description to one that can be easily translated into the commands of a standard econometric software package. Covering an unprecedented range of problems with a consistent emphasis on those that arise in applied work, this accessible and coherent guide to the most vital topics in econometrics today is indispensable for advanced students of econometrics and students of statistics interested in regression and related topics. It will also suit practising econometricians who want to update their skills. Flexibly designed to accommodate a variety of course levels, it offers both complete coverage of the basic material and separate chapters on areas of specialized interest.
