Factors that Determine Stock Market of Corporations

Abstract
In this paper, I look into capital markets in general describing them as markets in which financial securities are traded.

Most importantly however will be a cross-sectional study on financial market trends in the stock markets and the capital market of corporate companies. Under ...
