Data Collection and Sample Size

The weekly closing prices of six major Asian countries were taken:
BSE Sensex (Mumbai-India) Hang Seng (Hong Kong-China) JKSE (Jakarta- Indonesia) KLSE ( Kuala Lumpur- Malaysia) Nikkie(Japan) KS11(Seoul-Korea)

Qualitative Analysis
In this section the various stock exchanges have been compared on the following parameters:
Market Capitalization Number of listed securities Listing agreements Circuit filters Settlement

 Market Capitalization :
Market capitalization is the measure of corporate size of a country. It shows the current stock price multiplied by the number of outstanding shares. It is commonly referred to as Market cap. It is calculated by multiplying the number of common shares with the current price of those shares.

Listed Securities:
Listing in a stock exchange refers to the admission of the securities of the company for trade dealings in a recognized stock exchange.

 Listing Agreements :
These are the norms laid down by the securities exchange boards of different markets for listing the companies. Basic criteria are Capitalisation Number of share holders Age of company Number of shareholder applications in the IPO

 Circuit filters :
Stock markets have a reputation of crashing without any warning, thus resulting in a loss of huge sums of money of the investors.

A stock market crash is a sudden dramatic decline of stock prices across a significant cross-section of a market
Circuit breakers are a counter measure to the instability of the stock market. Circuit breaker is a point at which a stock market will stop trading for a period of time in response to substantial drops in value. Different circuit breakers are assigned in different markets

 Trading and Settlement Cycle

This segment takes care of the efficiency issue of the said stock exchange. It basically looks into the speed at which any of the numerous transactions affected in the market gets settled.

Data Analysis and Findings

Since stock prices are time series data, a check needs to be done to find the stationarity of the given time series A time series is said to be stationary if its mean value and its variance do not vary systematically over time.
