Emerging Markets - Science topic

Energy System Transition Processes in Emerging Markets

1. Have we (so far) seen any major shift in an energy system’s condition that (as on date) remains to be more than the changes in any particular energy technology or a fuel source (say, in terms of system’s scale, structure, economy or energy policy)?

2. To be precise, in the context of energy transition, have we really transferred away from existing fossil energy systems represented by coal and petroleum towards renewable energy?

OR

Does ‘the paradigm shift from fossil fuel-dependent non-renewable energy sources to clean and renewable energy production’ depend on the extraction of significant volumes of clean energy transition metals & minerals (towards supporting wind-turbines, storage facilities & solar PV)?

3. Whether Energy Transition has delivered any significant outcomes so far?

4. Feasible (a) to deduce the List of Immediate Challenges to be addressed; and (b) to accelerate the Sustainable Energy Transition by over-coming those deduced challenges - by Global South (Africa/Asia/Latin-America)?

5. Whether Energy Transition Trajectory remains skewed towards Global North (North-America & Europe)?

6. Apart from the Transition Patterns in Developed Markets (Global North) that remains to be technology-centric, do we really have a “Clear” Energy Transition Trajectory for Global South?

7. Whether Global South keep receiving the required increased-financing for resource extraction and deployment of renewable energy sources?

8. How exactly to link Global South (having the critical raw materials required for energy transition) with Global North (having manufacturing and production houses)?

9. Whether Politics and Power play the same role in Energy transitions @ Global North as well as @ Global South?

10. Whether energy transition processes have not yet received required-attention regarding ongoing challenges and strategies for its sustainable implementation?

11.Unlike the previous phases of energy transitions in terms of fuel sources, which involved the transition from wood to coal and from coal to oil and which was driven by the need to accelerate industrialization, whether, the current phase of energy transition remains propelled by the need to achieve sustainability that remains necessitated by the climate change crises?

Is it just a technological shift or something more than that?

12. Whether the current transitions in fuels remain accompanied by the political transformations as well on top of socio-economic transformations?

The emerging markets have suffered from a state of stagflation. I hope you know your expectations according to your experiences regarding the implications for the stock markets,,,, risks and returns of stocks.

Dear collegues,

resending in case someone has missed it- I am now producing a book with Edward Elgar publishing specifically on teaching entrepreneurship in emerging markets (call attached)

It will be a guide for best practice from universities and training centres in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. I would like to share the call with you and was wondering if perhaps yourselves, any colleagues or PhD student who have taught entrepreneurship courses may be interested to kindly share their valuable experience in a short chapter or share to someone who might. Currently we have got local authors from Malaysia, Nigeria, Panama, Bahamas, Indonesia, and the UAE and look forward to more.

Apologies if it is not of interest and thank you for your time,

PM for any questions and thank you

At present, ChatGPT is not yet taken fully seriously in many applications as a completely infallible and professional tool that can replace humans in many professions requiring creative word processing etc. This is related to the aforementioned high level of factual errors and the creation of 'fictitious facts' in the texts that ChatGPT creates in its answers to the questions people ask. In addition to this, it examines the data and information on the basis of which it provides answers from 2021, so it is no longer fully up to date in terms of many areas of knowledge. For example, it has happened on more than one occasion that when ChatGPT was asked about an event that was recently supposed to have happened ChatGPT would give an answer that a particular event, incident, etc. happened recently in 2023, give the exact date and details of the event, when in fact this event described by ChatGPT never happened and the knowledge base it uses ends temporally in 2021. The issue of the technological progress taking place dynamically in this field in various circles of citizens acting as employees in various companies, enterprises and institutions, as well as in discussions in scientific spheres and in the media, generates a lot of controversy. On the one hand, the technological progress, development of artificial intelligence and its applications are presented in many discussions and publications, press and scientific articles mainly in positive aspects in the context of ever faster economic and social processes, structural changes in the industry and sectoral structure of the economy, including the emergence of new branches of services, new types of technological products, development of technological sectors, emergence of new professions and occupations in the context of developing information technologies ICT and Industry 4. 0. On the other hand, there are critical and pessimistic opinions concerning the potential effects of the dynamic development of artificial intelligence and its applications, which will lead to the replacement of work done by humans with the same work done by artificial intelligence. It is already estimated, on the basis of ongoing research in this field, that by the end of this decade, artificial intelligence could take away jobs from at least 300 million people globally. So it is certain that the implementation of certain different technological solutions of artificial intelligence into the various spheres of activity of companies, enterprises and institutions will change labour markets to a large extent in the next few years.

In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:

What do you think about this topic?

What is your opinion on this subject?

Please respond,

I invite you all to discuss,

Thank you very much,

Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on an honest approach to discussing scientific issues and not ChatGPT-generated ready-made answers, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.

The above text is entirely my own work written by me on the basis of my research.

I have not used other sources or automatic text generation systems such as ChatGPT in writing this text.

I am researching potential success factors for the internationalization of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) into emerging markets.

The identified success factor is "cooperation with local firms." As there is no existing literature on this specific topic (SMEs + Cooperation + Emerging Markets), I plan to use qualitative content analysis on data collected from expert interviews.

The schematic structure of the research will be as follows:

Is this a reasonable approach?

Hello,

I hope everyone reading this is doing well during these tough times.

I am doing my masters in business management and considering dissertation topics.

I'm interested in taking an international approach relating to globalisation of businesses/sustainability/emerging markets/business culture etc

Perhaps with the impact of COVID-19 pandemic.

Coming up with a creative and interesting topic idea is proving to be challenging so any ideas would be greatly welcomed!

Thanks! Rabia

Dear colleagues,

As work development and skill (re) training is considered a key condition for adequate economic development in emerging economies, can we associate the "Appropriate Technology" concepts (as contextualizing technological, structural, and local behavioral aspects as general factors, and concrete, specific factors that included meeting local needs, utilizing local resources, accounting for cultural conditions, and knowledge transfer mechanisms, among many others. in order to satisfy said technology end users' needs and expectations") to the particular technology used in "serious games" (applied as training systems for organizations deployed for the workforce, in order to enhance knowledge and skill sets) ?

I am trying to create a logical link between the two concepts and argue that Serious Games, as training mediated by technology, can in fact be classified as "Appropriate Technology" when it need to be adapted to emerging market conditions (as mentioned above), pertains to important quality-of-life concerns (employment and market economic sustainability - http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_2019_Strategies_for_the_New_Economy_Skills.pdf) and it s adoption is ultimately dependent (or impacted) on the end user adoption (considering existing frameworks, suchg as TAM or UTAUT).

Do you agree?

If so, can you help me find references where similar arguments could be used in a paper I am writing?

Thanks in advance!

I am writing a paper about downside risk measures in the context of emerging markets, testing the standard deviation against the downside deviation for instance. In the analysis however, all risk variables estimated, including the conventional SD and beta are negatively correlated with the returns. How can I make sense of this?

Thank you very much in advance!

Is there any study or research differentiating the consumer behaviour of low-income customers and middle-income customers, especially in the emerging markets?

It will be great if I get some industry insights (case study or examples) on the learnings, challenges or past failures of a retailer's strategy due to such a misinterpretation of treating low-income customers same as mid-income customers?

How do you assess the processes of globalization of financial and banking systems in the context of the analysis of the sources of the global financial crisis of 2008?

Do the significant revaluation of stock quotes on stock exchanges occurring every few or a dozen years is an objective specific feature of this type of financial market or rather it is imperfection of these markets resulting from too high a level of liberalization and deregulation of the mechanisms of these markets, including the reduction control functions of financial supervision institutions?

Since the 1970s, the functioning of individual segments of financial markets has been successively liberalized and deregulated, including primarily the issue of investment banking, international markets and exchange rate systems, rating agencies, financial adversity institutions and financial entities and instruments operating on the securities market. During this time, the scale of the re-valuation of valuations of securities, derivatives, commodities and other assets on the capital markets reached ever higher levels, then spectacularly transformed into a strong decline in these valuations leading to a financial and economic crisis. The last financial crisis in 2008 in many respects, including numerous negative aspects, generated the unruly records characterizing the highest level of investment risk and the scale of financial losses generated by many commercial financial institutions and industrial corporations, which then under the active, interventionist, anti-crisis monetary policy of banking were financed indirectly by public finance funds. Due to this cyclical nature of capital markets, characterized by the growing amplitude of economic fluctuations during periods of bull market and bear market at high levels of overvaluation and investment risk levels and deeper global financial and economic crises, large financial institutions, including investment banks, are becoming larger entities and costs neutralizing the negative aspects of crises is paid off by the whole society, especially by the relatively less-earning middle class.

In the light of the above, encouraging discussion, I turn to you with the following question: Has the time finally come to reform the functioning process and the system of financial markets by restoring former control functions of financial supervision institutions that have been abolished, reduced since the 1970s?

Are increasingly deep financial crises derived from the liberalization and deregulation of financial markets?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

How behavioral economics can be used to study investor behavior in capital markets, including securities markets?

How is it that in these markets every several or a dozen or so years, there is a high re-evaluation of the valuation of financial instruments, assets, including company shares? What is the issue of the effect of the sheep's rush, which to some extent is often inspired by the appropriately constructed, liberalized offer of products and services of financial institutions?

Besides, how does it fit into the issue of the cyclical nature of economic processes, ie the volatility of economic growth of entire national economies in the long-term perspective? In addition, the issue of the various state intervention instruments applied by national governments is also important, some of which also act on consumer behavior of small investors and shareholders.

Considering anti-crisis, counter-cyclical, interventionist monetary policies based on low interest rates and central banks buying programs for assets lost from commercial banks, it is reasonable to study the potentially high level of state intervention in the financial markets. In connection with the liberalization of the functioning of capital markets and increasingly emerging financial crises since the 1970s, the scale of active interventionist monetary policy of central banking is growing, but also in relation to capital markets, including securities markets. Therefore, deregulated and indirectly subjected to potential anticyclical state intervention, capital markets, including securities markets, are increasingly losing balance, falling into extreme market re-evaluation and undervaluation of valuations of securities, and consequently growing systemic investment, credit, etc. risks and increasingly emerging financial crises.

In view of the above, I would like to ask you: Behavioral economics and interventionist monetary policy and the cyclically changing situation in the securities markets?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion

I intend to research on this topic as I have a keen interest in internationalization and entry mode. However, most researches are done on developed countries making it saturated even the emerging markets researched are the (BRIC) leaving out Africa as a continent and this is a research gap to me because few works have been done on Africa especially the challenges. In the course of trying to formulate the research problem, I could not find sufficient articles to formulate the research problem. I would like to know if this is a good topic to work on and also get suggestions on research topics concerning my interest.

Thank you.

Please guess the nature and dimension of sustainable manufacturing revolution in emerging markets.

Hi all,

I am looking for ideas to work on for the research proposal for my PhD application. I am interested in conflicts, migration, poverty and fiscal policies in emerging markets. However, I am open to any and all topics that might interest me.

Thank you.

REITs in emerging markets have been static over long periods, why is it so?

Historically, multilateral agencies/institutions segmented global markets into either developed or emerging markets. Recently, a distinction has been made between emerging and frontier markets.

In your opinion, which markets segments are more attractive than others and why?

I am working on how investors in emerging market securities of the BRVM perceive the risk in this market and what are the determinants?

Does anyone have the coding to calculate the Diebold and Yilmaz index (2009) or can anyone explain how I can obtain it please? I want to use it to examine stock market integration for my thesis.

Many thanks.

In addition to many economic and financial sources in the field of unreliable risk management procedures, re-evaluation of assets on capital markets, long-term too low interest rates by central banks, granting loans to entities without creditworthiness, etc., according to non-classical theories, other sources of crises economic.

One of these non-classical theories is combining deep economic crises with technological revolutions, the secondary effect of which is over-investing in technological projects and re-evaluating the assets that these projects relate to.

In view of the above, I am asking you: Can the genesis of global economic crises be combined with technological revolutions?

Please, answer, comments. I invite you to the discussion.

Please share your geographic and industry scope? My research scope includes emerging markets and consumer product companies.

Can I use case study as research technique/design?

Apart from the estimation based on roof space available in a constrained area, what other methodologies can comprehensively be used in growth forecast bearing in mind the spatial distribution. Especially for emerging markets with centralized but well developed utilities?

Hello,

I am working on Entry mode choices of Emerging market firms. The data that i have from two data sources. The problem i am facing relating to SDC platinum data of outward FDI, in which i am not finding any unique variable to merge it with data from CSMAR.

Which is the better measure of strategic asset endowment of a country- count of total patents application filed or count of total patents granted? Studies, especially on location determinants of FDI use count of total patent applications filed. Any rationale for the choice?

Thanks

Hi,

I am evaluating housing market performance in emerging markets and trying to find the market reaction to events such as political issues, policy changes, wars etc. It is challenging for housing, especially in time where housing is already affected by other variables like subprime crisis. The data I have on monthly frequency for +10 years contains Housing Price Index and monthly number of transactions.  Which methodology you think would suits such a situation?

Thanks.

According to the introduction, the Emerging Markets Data Base (EMDB) provides information collected since 1975, as well as daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly data on more than 2,200 stocks by company, industry, country, region, and more. However, I cannot find yearly data from EMDB. Does it mean my institution don't registry the database? If not, could you please inform me where I can download the related data? Thank you!

Many of the frontier markets have failed to move forward and are rather struggling to do catch-up with emerging markets. What's going on? How can the situation be reversed?

I am interested in finding studies on behavioural finance in emerging markets.

I agree with you and Rogoff's QJE article that using reserves entails limitations. Nonetheless, foreign exchange market intervention is still an important determinant of exchange rate movements, especially in emerging markets. Moreover, there might be a link to capital flows as well: countries may use reserves to disrupt sudden stops in capital inflows or use them for capital outflows. Is there a possibility to consider this aspect in your updated classification ?  

The expanded role of choosing correct concurrent strategy has been rapidly arising on the market after the economic and political problems . Many different trends have appeared on the market over the past decade. At a time when most companies develop their business strategy in some formalized and purposeful way it is often reconstructed into simple low run strategic plans on market positioning and investments, some companies inculcate strategies based on new theories. There is a consensus among market analysts that globalization along with urbanization has brought new players to the market, which has provided a wide range of competitive advantages to each and every companies’ strategy. There is an immense amount of research on different strategies that company could follow to fulfill its needs and to achieve every goal and objective they pursue. It is vital to state that each concurrent strategy is unique. However scholars develop main strategic frameworks for companies and it is still not clear whether one or another is applicable to the present situation on the market. . Given this, numerous CEOs and other executives complain that the strategy that has been chosen is not aligned with their goals and objectives. That is why all facts and components should be deeply analyzed before company’s strategy is developed.

When assessing the drivers of capital flows, many studies first divide capital flows by nominal GDP (see Ahmed/Zlate 2014, Baek 2006). In my own research, I want to compare the dynamics of US interest rates with capital flows to emerging markets in a descriptive analysis. Is it important to divide capital flows by GDP in this case? If yes, why?

I am trying to develop an IS-LM model of the Bulgarian economy. I believe that research applying the IS-LM model to the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe could be of great help to my investigation.

I’m planning to investigate the relationship between investor sentiment and stock returns in emerging markets. I read about consumer and business confidence indicators used in developed markets. I’m really looking to find out what you’d consider to be the most efficient method to construct investor sentiment indicators in emerging markets and where perhaps I can obtain that kind of data.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

I'm currently working on a factor model for Emerging Markets that explain variances in stock returns. I've found a few factors, which I think are significant for explaining stock returns, but most of them suffer from lead and lag problems.

Factors I considered: (They should only be subject to the respective country. I try to include more factors that are subject to every Emerging Market in a second step)

-Industrial production of the specific country (Lag problem occurs)

-Government debt (Lag problem too)

-Short and long term interest rates

-Volatility of inflation

-Export volume

Thank you in advance!

Kind regards
