The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of business strategy and overvalued equity on stock price crash risk. Business strategy Following Bentley et al. (2014) research, the stock price crash risk has been measured following Houghton et al. (2014) and overvalued equity, following the model of Foods et al. (2005). Business strategy and overvalued as independent variables, the stock price crash risk as a dependent variable and firm size, company's age, financial leverage, market value to book value and return on assets as control variables. A total of 211 companies listed in the Tehran Securities Exchange have been selected in the Tehran Securities Exchange during the period of six years from 2012 to 2017 according to the society's screening conditions and 1266 company-year observations are included in the statistical analyzes. The research hypotheses have been tested using multivariate regression analysis using Panel data with fix effects. The results of the research show that business strategy and overvalued equity have a significant and positive effect on the crash risk. In fact, stocks of companies with a Prospector strategy are more exposed to the stock price crash risk compared to Defender Strategy companies. If firm size, company's age, financial leverage have a significant effect on the Stock Price Crash Risk, but the market value to book value and return on assets does not have a significant effect on the stock price crash risk.

The presence of noise traders with fanatical attitude in financial markets is considered as a reason for the divergence of price and risk from predicted levels, but on the other hand the absence of noise traders might cause dwindling of market volatility. Generally, those who execute their trades based on market noise have poor understanding of the validity of receiving information, nevertheless a major part of traders falls into this category. The following study evaluated fluctuation of noise trading, using EGARCH (exponential general autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic) model for the price index of the Tehran stock exchange market from 2012 to 2016. There was a meaningful relation between the noise and market return, so that an increase in noise trading resulted in market return growth and a decline in noise trading altered fluctuation to a smoother trend. Furthermore, the growth of trade value, turnover and number of trades was related to the rise in noise trading. Manuscript profile

One of the factors that investors consider in their decisions is the return on equity. Achieving this return is possible in a situation where economic stability exists. One of the aspects of economic stability is the stability of economic policies that plays an important role in the economy of the country. So, if there is uncertainty about economic policies, this uncertainty will unconscious of the economic activists towards future economic developments, and the subsequent owners of the capital will be able to make decisions for the future, including capital and the money market and the capital market will be in trouble. Considering the importance of the issue in this paper, using the Markov Switching Model and applying annual data, we investigate the effect of economic policy uncertainty on the return on Iranian stock market during the period of 1981-2016. In this research, the variables of economic growth rate, inflation rate, unemployment rate, interest rate and liquidity growth rate are used as independent variables. In order to measure economic policy uncertainty, exchange rate fluctuations and government budget deficits are also used. The findings of the paper show that dynamic communication of uncertainty in economic policies and stock market returns is always negative, as the increase in uncertainty in economic policies significantly reduces capital market returns. Also, the relation between stock market returns and the uncertainty of nonlinear economic policies and the uncertainty about the return on capital during a period of high-fluctuation diet is stronger and more stable.

Being a general stock, is one of the progressive option for under developing companies in which in addition to attract required sources to develop activities they can easily access to financial markets such as debt markets and stock markets. In Iran according to privatization capital policy new IPOs enter to capital market that determining appropriate price to offer which is a big distress for these companies’ managers. Exact evaluation is of being importance when IPO is really high and price offering and investors don’t participate in offering process. And this matter leads to great financial or intellectual expanses to both supply investment institute and applicant company or the offering price is really lower than what is expected that the applicant company, benefit would be ignored. Therefore to determine a realistic price to offer the initial IPO which supply the success offering process would be of great importance. One of the important economical and financial matter, is to offer the stocks in a public form and to convert the proper ownership to the public one. And because of its great benefit such as new investment equipment, higher competition, tax’ exemption, and access to cheap financial resources would be welcomed to the companies. Manuscript profile

The aim of this paper is to study the correlation structure of different risk measures. These measures include idiosyncratic skewness (IS), idiosyncratic kurtosis (IK), volatility, idiosyncratic volatility (IV), Cornish-Fisher VaR(CFVaR), extreme downside risk (EDR) and right tail index. The GARCH(p,q) model is estimated by Fama-French regression innovations and then using the residuals to calculate the EDR and other measures for 175 stocks in TSE. In this research, Extreme Value Theory (EVT) is used to estimate Extreme downside risk and Cornish-Fisher expansion of value at risk. The results show that the IS and CFVaR methods have the highest correlation coefficient with the EDR method, but given the low correlation values, this implies that the EDR effect cannot be completely subsumed by other risk measures. Only the EDR and CFVaR measures focus on left tail of distribution and are comparable to each other. Back testing results for Cornish-Fisher expansion of value at risk and Extreme downside risk approaches show Extreme downside risk has a better prediction in compare with Cornish-Fisher expansion of value at risk.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between corporate governance mechanisms and stock liquidity in family firms accepted in Tehran Stock Exchange. For this purpose, a sample of 33 companies has been selected among the family companies admitted to the Tehran Stock Exchange during the period of 2010-2016 (seven years). To test the hypotheses, the least squares (GLS) method has been used. The criteria used to measure corporate governance mechanisms are the independence of the board of directors and the concentration of ownership. And the stock trading turnover variable is used as a criterion for stock liquidity. The results of the research show that there is a positive and significant relationship between the percentage of non-executive directors and stock liquidity. That is, with the increase in the independence of the board, the turnover of stock exchanges also increases. Also, there is a negative and meaningful relationship between the concentration of ownership and stock liquidity. In other words, with the increase in the focus of family owners, turnover of stock transactions is also reduced. Manuscript profile

The political and economic instability in recent years and followed by rapid changes in the realm of financial markets, has increased the risk of most financial institutions. So that risk managers at these institutions are worried about the decline in their asset value over the coming days. In recent studies, generally the Conditional Value at Risk is used to measure and forecast the risks existing in financial markets. Therefore, in this research, it has been attempted to introduce, calculate and implement a nonlinear hybrid model for forecasting the Conditional Value at Risk. For this purpose, the new hybrid model based on the Extreme Value Theory and the Holt-Winters exponential smoothing (HWES-EVT) that, in addition to dynamics, cluster characteristics and broad data sequence, also takes into account the forecast Conditional Value at Risk of the industry and Tehran Stock Exchange Indices. For evaluating the accuracy the performance of proposed hybrid model, this modek is compared with the GARCH-EVT model. The results of backtesting show that the proposed hybrid approach provides a more accurate answer to the forecasting of Conditional Value at Risk for these indicators Indices. Manuscript profile
