Summary:博士 === 國立中興大學 === 財務金融系所 === 102 === There are three essays in this dissertation. The interactions of foreign institutional investors between equity market and futures market are investigated in essay one. The validity of purchasing Power parity (PPP) is discussed in essay two. Correlations between sentiment and local institutional investors are assessed in essay three. Essay one investigates the changing correlation between spot market and futures market by applying the STCC-EGARCH model. The empirical results show that foreign institutional investors’ trading activities between spot market and futures market are distinctively different when exchange rate is volatile. Essay two examines the smooth break in real exchange rate by applying the nonlinear Fourier function. The empirical results indicate that that PPP is not valid for most of these Middle East countries except the Bahrain and Israel. Essay three investigates the correlation between sentiment and fund managers’ performance. The performances of mutual fund support neutrality hypothesis, no relationship between fund manager sentiment and fund performances, are better than those do not support neutrality hypothesis. This empirical result implies that fund managers perform well when they are not influenced by the market sentiment.
