Bhattacharya, B. Jorgenson, and C. Kehr), ''Journal of Financial Economics'', 2000, 55, 69-101.〕〔(Barnhart, Bill ) (March 12, 1998). “Inside Mexico”. ''Chicago Tribune'', p. 6.〕〔Henderson, Barry (February 8, 1999). “Corruption? Caramba! Academics find widespread insider trading in Mexico”. ''Barron’s'', p. 22-23.〕 This led to many questions about the value and the enforceability of insider trading laws. The study won the Best Academic Paper Award offered by the International Investment Forum at the University of Chicago. In later research, Daouk conducted a comprehensive survey of insider trading laws and prosecution in about a hundred countries that have a stock market. He then showed that countries that enforce insider trading laws reduce the cost of financing of companies by many percentage points. This is because outside investors no longer require to be compensated for the money they lose from trading with better-informed insiders. On the other hand, having the law without enforcing it, does not do anything.〔(“The world price of insider trading” ) (with U. Bhattacharya), ''Journal of Finance'', 2002, 57, 75-108.

''The Age''.〕 This research was nominated for the Smith Breeden Prize for Best Paper in the ''Journal of Finance'' for the year 2002. A little before the Enron scandal, Daouk was investigating whether informational risk associated with accounting earnings quality impacts stock markets around the world (he analyzed financial statements from 34 countries for the period 1985-1998). He found that accounting manipulation in a country, increases significantly the cost of financing of companies and reduces liquidity.〔(“The world price of earnings opacity” ) (with U. Bhattacharya and M. Welker), ''Accounting Review'', 2003, 78, 641-678.〕〔(Popper, Margaret ) (July 22, 2002) ("Economic trends: America the transparent" ). ''Bloomberg Businessweek''.〕〔(Weisser, Cybele ) (September 2002) "Word on the street: Homebound". ''Money'', p. 37-38.〕 Daouk is also known for his research that documents short selling laws and practice in about a hundred stock markets in the world. He shows that when short selling is possible, stock prices are less volatile and there is greater liquidity. However, he does not oppose the temporary restrictions on short selling that were enacted in different countries in reaction to the financial crisis.〔(“Market-wide short-selling restrictions” ) (with A. Charoenrook), Cornell University working paper, 2005.〕〔(Beck, John ) (October 3, 2011) “Market controls: Does intervention work?” ''The Banker'', cover story.〕 ==Publications (selection)== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hazem Daouk」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
