CONCLUSIONS""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aWe analyze the performance of the Amman Stock Exchange (ASE) and its integration with other markets. Using cointegration techniques, we find that the ASE and other Arab stock markets are cointegrated, which implies little long-run risk diversification. However, there is no cointegrating relationship between the ASE and other emerging or developed stock markets. Two of the main regional stock markets-Kuwait and Saudi Arabia-Grangercause the Jordanian stock market. The paper finds that there may have been some overvaluation at end-2005, but that the market correction in early 2006 and strong recent earnings growth have reduced overvaluation concerns. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/187 606 $aStock exchanges$zArab countries 606 $aCointegration$zArab countries 606 $aFinance: General$2imf 606 $aInvestments: Stocks$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data)$2imf 606 $aPension Funds$2imf 606 $aNon-bank Financial Institutions$2imf 606 $aFinancial Instruments$2imf 606 $aInstitutional Investors$2imf 606 $aPrice Level$2imf 606 $aInflation$2imf 606 $aDeflation$2imf 606 $aFinancial Markets and the Macroeconomy$2imf 606 $aFinance$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aStock markets$2imf 606 $aStocks$2imf 606 $aEmerging and frontier financial markets$2imf 606 $aAsset prices$2imf 606 $aMarket capitalization$2imf 606 $aStock exchanges$2imf 606 $aFinancial services industry$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 607 $aJordan$2imf 615 0$aStock exchanges 615 0$aCointegration 615 7$aFinance: General 615 7$aInvestments: Stocks 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aGeneral Financial Markets: General (includes Measurement and Data) 615 7$aPension Funds 615 7$aNon-bank Financial Institutions 615 7$aFinancial Instruments 615 7$aInstitutional Investors 615 7$aPrice Level 615 7$aInflation 615 7$aDeflation 615 7$aFinancial Markets and the Macroeconomy 615 7$aFinance 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aStock markets 615 7$aStocks 615 7$aEmerging and frontier financial markets 615 7$aAsset prices 615 7$aMarket capitalization 615 7$aStock exchanges 615 7$aFinancial services industry 615 7$aPrices 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund.$bMiddle East and Central Asia Dept. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788524603321 996 $aThe Jordanian Stock Market?Should You Invest in It for Risk Diversification or Performance$93670967 997 $aUNINA
