Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to publish a collection of papers that use cutting-edge econometric methods, using time series, cross-section, and panel data, to address issues in economics and finance. Both theoretical papers as well as papers with a focus on economic or financial applications are most welcome. Papers that develop new methods or validate the existing or new methods through simulation exercises or an applications of modern time series econometrics techniques will be particularly suitable for this Special Issue. The papers could also compare and contrast the traditional econometrics techniques with modern machine learning techniques with an application to economics and finance. 

Prof. Dr. Gulasekaran Rajaguru

In this paper, we present a data-driven approach to forecasting stock prices in the Moroccan Stock Exchange. Our study tests three predictive models: ARIMA, LSTM, and transformers, applied to the historical stock price data of three prominent credit companies (EQD, LES, and SLF) listed on the Casablanca Stock Exchange. We carefully selected and optimized hyperparameters for each model to achieve optimal performance. Our results showed that the LSTM model achieved high accuracy, with R-squared values exceeding 0.99 for EQD and LES and surpassing 0.95 for SLF. These findings highlighted the effectiveness of LSTM in stock price forecasting. Our study offers practical insights for traders and investors in the Moroccan Stock Exchange, demonstrating how predictive modeling can aid in making informed decisions. This research contributes to advancing stock market forecasting in Morocco, providing valuable tools for navigating the Casablanca Stock Exchange. Full article

This study explores how financial development and openness influence the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary policies. An analysis of data from about 100 countries between 1980 and 2018 reveals that both financial openness and development weaken the impact of monetary and fiscal policies. Our results further show that financial development in a country diminishes policy effectiveness depending on the country’s level of financial development; specifically, the more developed a country, the less effective the policies would be. Additionally, through a detailed examination employing a dynamic panel GMM approach, the study investigates the global repercussions of economic downturns in the US and how financial maturity shapes policy effectiveness during these times. We also discuss some policy implications that show that the positive impacts of monetary policy on output growth are lessened during crisis periods, and policymakers should act accordingly.
