Authors: Koperunthevy, K.; Vijayarani, K.
Abstract: The macro economic variables have strong influence on stock market activities. Study attempts to identify the impact of interest rates and changes of interest rates on stock prices with a monthly observation from January 2005 to December 2011 in Sri Lanka. The ADF Unit Root test and Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) supported for the regression analysis. The regression results suggest that interest rate variation 44% on stock price and changes of interest rates variation 9% on changes of stock price. The F values are significant at 1% and 5% levels. Therefore, the interest rate influence on stock prices.2012-01-01T00:00:00ZMicrofinance Models and Challenges in Sri Lanka.Koperunthevy, K.Vijayarani, K.http://repo.lib.jfn.ac.lk/ujrr/handle/123456789/30372022-10-21T06:48:43Z2012-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Microfinance Models and Challenges in Sri Lanka.

Authors: Koperunthevy, K.; Vijayarani, K.
Abstract: The Bank interest rate variables have strong influence on stock market activities. The Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE) shows a rapid growth in recent years and All Share Price Index (ASPI) and Milanka Price Index (MIP) are the evidence for that. Therefore, this study attempts to identify the impact of long –term lending rate, one- year maturity fixed deposit rate on ASPI and MPI of CSE with a monthly observation from January 2005 to October 2011. The Augmented Dickey – Fuller Unit Root test proves that there is no serial correlation among variables. The Mulicollinearity by Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) supported for the regression analysis. The regression results suggest that interest rate variation 21% on ASPI and 21% on MPI, and the F values are significant at 1% level. Therefore, the study concludes that the lending and deposit rates have impact on stock prices indices.2012-01-01T00:00:00ZThe Role of Blockholder Ownership in Corporate Decisions.Koperunthevy, K.Vijayarani, K.http://repo.lib.jfn.ac.lk/ujrr/handle/123456789/30342022-10-21T06:48:46Z2012-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: The Role of Blockholder Ownership in Corporate Decisions.
Authors: Koperunthevy, K.; Vijayarani, K.
Abstract: Corporate Governance ensures how the powers are distributed among different participant of a company. Blockholder ownership is also one kind of power distribution among shareholders. Blockholders are investors who have block equity shares of a company. This kind of ownership is motivated by share benefits of control and private benefits of control. These two control mechanism will lead to influence on corporate decisions. The block owners concentrate three major areas for decisions such as agency problem, financing activity and investing activity. Theoretically blockholders may try to reduce the agency problem and implement different compensation to managers. Also, financing decisions and investing decisions will be concentrated by blockholders based on the nature and conditions of a particular company’s financial position to maximize the value. Therefore, this study concentrates these three decisions areas.2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
