    Is the effect of Indian energy price shocks asymmetric on the stock market at the firm level? A panel SVAR approach
    (FrancoAngeli, 2021) Aruna, B.; Rajesh Acharya, R.H.
    This paper examines, using monthly data from 1995 to 2016, whether the oil, coal and electricity price shocks have an asymmetric influence on stock returns and inflation. The paper has employed Panel Structural Vector Autoregressive (PSVAR) model with various measures of the oil, coal and electricity price shocks on a dataset containing 1168 firms. Results from Panel-SVAR reveal that all oil, coal and electricity price specifications have an asymmetric impact on stock returns. Further, impulse response function reveals that the various dimensions of oil, coal and electricity price shocks lead to volatility in the response variables. It can also be observed that negative coal and electricity price shock has a radical impact on stock returns. Overall, the study on asymmetric impact of net oil and coal price increase, deserves attention from the investors and policy makers. © 2020 Franco Angeli Edizioni. All rights reserved.

    Is the effect of oil price shock asymmetric on the Indian stock market? Firm-level evidence from energy-intensive companies
    (Emerald Publishing, 2023) Aruna, B.; Rajesh Acharya, R.H.
    Purpose: This paper aims to examine the asymmetric impact of the oil price increase and decrease on stock returns at the firm level. Design/methodology/approach: To ascertain the impact oil price can exert on the stock price at the firm level, this study uses panel structural vector auto regression with various linear and nonlinear measures of oil price shock on a data set, containing 1,168 firms listed in Indian stock markets. This study also considers stock index returns, Fama-French factors and inflation as control variables. Findings: This paper finds evidence that at firm level, net oil price increase and decrease have an asymmetric impact on stock returns. Other oil price shock measures, namely, shock because of oil price increase and decrease, do not show any sign of asymmetric impact on stock returns. Originality/value: The comparison of firm-level return on its response towards oil price fluctuation can give valuable insights into a firm’s features. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
