Frontier emerging equity markets securities price behavior and valuation

"Frontier Emerging Equity Markets Securities Price Behavior and Valuation uses the Russian example to illustrate the intricate mechanics of frontier emerging equity market analysis. During the 1990s frontier emerging markets have formed a new investment asset class which requires a different set of valuation metrics than do mature emerging markets."--BOOK JACKET. "In developing a multi-stage approach to the understanding and valuing of such markets, this book uses the case of the Russian frontier equity market to illustrate topics such as the relationship between equity market infrastructure and valuation during the "genesis" period of an emerging financial market; evolving market efficiency; and the crucial role of depository receipt programs in the development of these markets. Further, this book develops the first comprehensive framework for valuing a frontier equity market. As the first research-level monograph exclusively dedicated to frontier emerging equity market analysis, it offers a unique dual perspective on how academic financial research finds its complementary and sometimes antagonistic counterpart in real-life investment decision-making. This book can help both professional investors and students of finance to understand frontier equity market valuation and development."--BOOK JACKET.
