Abstract: Stock Price Indices are compared across countries in an attempt to explain why they exhibit such disparate behavior. Three separate explanatory influences are empirically documented. First, part of the behavior can be attributed to a technical aspect of index construction; some indices are more diversified than others. Second, each country's industrial structure plays a major role in explaining stock price behavior. Third, for the majority of countries, a portion of national equity index behavior can be ascribed to exchange rate behavior. Exchange rates explain a significant portion of common currency denominated national index returns, although the amount explained by exchange rates is less than the amount explained by industrial structure for most countries.

Volatility transmission between stock and exchange-rate markets: A connectedness analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors empirically investigated volatility transmission among stock and foreign exchange markets in seven major world economies during the period July 1988 to January 2015 and found that slightly more than half of the total variance of the forecast errors is explained by shocks across markets rather than by idiosyncratic shocks.
A multiperiod evaluation of returns following seasoned equity offerings
Mark Bayless,Nancy R. Jay +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the evaluation of returns following an equity issue has been hampered by a narrow focus on the period immediately following the issue, and they relax this constraint and compare the risk-adjusted performance of firms following a public offering with their performance during periods when there was no issue activity.

The Week‐End Effect in Common Stock Returns: The International Evidence
TL;DR: This paper examined the daily stock market returns for four foreign countries and found that the lowest mean returns for the Japanese and Australian stock markets occur on Tuesday, and that the seasonal patterns in foreign stock markets are independent of those previously reported in the U.S. The results strongly support the proposition that the weekly seasonal effect is a general, worldwide phenomenon rather than the result of a special type of institutional arrangement.
