This study investigates the impact of financial market development on the environmental quality of emerging countries through an analysis of panel data from 21 Emerging Countries covering the period from 2001 to 2023. To accomplish this objective we constructed stock market-based and banking sector-based indices to measure the level of financial market development using principal component analysis. We then identified the cross-sectional dependence and employed unit root testing to ensure accurate estimation. By employing a panel ARDL bound test we demonstrate thatfinancial development positively impacts environmental quality in emerging countries. The findings provide new insights for researchers and policymakers who seek to develop comprehensive energy supply and economic policies to alleviate the adverse effects of pollution.

Market segmentation and international diversification across country and industry portfolios
(ELSEVIER, 2023) Mehmet Umutlu; Seher Goren Yargi; Adam Zaremba; Yargi, Seher Goren; Zaremba, Adam; Umutlu, Mehmet
We conjecture that partially segmented stock indexes that are characterized by low correlation with the world market are mainly priced by local factors and should produce abnormal returns relative to a global asset-pricing model. This implies a negative relation between correlation and future index returns in the presence of segmented indexes. Empirical evidence confirms such a relationship for the sample of industry indexes suggesting a heterogeneous segmentation. However we do not observe a similar pattern for country indexes. In addition the international diversification potential of industries does not vanish during volatile periods. The hypothesis that the negative relationship should be stronger for the more segmented subsamples that are char-acterized by small market size and emerging country origin is verified for the industry sample. Thus cross-industry diversification is superior to mere cross-country diversification.
