Article Abstract:
The dominant-satellite relationships of dually listed stocks were analyzed to investigate various aspects of market asymmetrics. Data were taken from US over-the-counter markets (OTC) and Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S and P 500) and Israel's Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE). The information included the daily closing prices of six firms based in Israel whose shares were dually listed and traded in TASE, OTC and S and P 500. Results indicate that arbitrage opportunities are generally not available and that the domestic market serves as the dominant market while the foreign market serves as the satellite market.

Article Abstract:
Production-capital asset pricing model (CAPM) outperforms consumption-CPAM in explaining cross-sectional and time-series variation of stock returns in US, Japan, UK, Germany and Canada but should allow time variations in the prices of risk factors. The two models have qualitatively similar results when they are expressed in either the US dollar or the local currencies. The volatility of discount rate processes in both models, however, is unavoidable unless a high correlation between the stock returns and a macroeconomic factor other than investment may be set.

Article Abstract:
An empirical application of robust non-stationary regression to Australia's foreign exchange market between 1984 and 1991 is presented. Both 1-month and 3-month forward exchange rates demonstrated considerable predictive content for the prospective spot rates. However, in contrast with optimal Gaussian regression approaches, the robust regression tests do not uphold the premise that the forward rates are objective predictors of the future spot rates.
