The book provides deep insight into theoretical and empirical
evidence on information and communication technologies (ICT) as an
important factor affecting financial markets. It is focused on the
impact of ICT on stock markets, bond markets, and other categories
of financial markets, with the additional focus on the linked
FinTech services and financial institutions. Financial markets
shaped by the adoption of the new technologies are labeled 'digital
financial markets'. With a wide-ranging perspective at both the
local and global levels from countries at varying degrees of
economic development, this book addresses an important gap in the
extant literature concerning the role of ICT in the financial
markets. The consequences of these processes had until now rarely
been considered in a broader economic and social context,
particularly when the impact of FinTech services on financial
markets is taken into account. The book's theoretical discussions,
empirical evidence and compilation of different views and
perspectives make it a valuable and complex reference work. The
principal audience of the book will be scholars in the fields of
finance and economics. The book also targets professionals in the
financial industry who are directly or indirectly linked to the new
technologies on the financial markets, in particular various types
of FinTech services. Chapters 2, 5 and 10 of this book are
available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual

This book contributes to the present state of knowledge, offering
the reader broad evidence on how new digital technologies impact
financial systems. It focuses on both macro- and micro-perspectives
of ICT influence on financial markets. The book demonstrates how
ICT can impact trading systems or information systems, which are
crucial for financial systems to work effectively. It also shows
how individuals can benefit from the adoption of digital
technologies for everyday financial (e.g., banking) systems usage.
The book provides empirical evidence of how digital technologies
revolutionize the banking sector and stock exchange trading system
and explores the associations between technology and various
aspects of firms' functioning. Furthermore, it raises elements of
financial inclusion, ICT-based microfinance service and
finance-related gender issues. The principal audience of the book
will be scholars and academic professionals from a wide variety of
disciplines, particularly in the fields of finance and economics.
It will be especially useful for those who are addressing the
issues of new technologies and the financial markets, FinTech,
financial innovations, stock markets, and the role of technological
progress in a broadly defined socio-economic system. It will be a
valuable source of knowledge for graduate and postgraduate students
in economic and social development, information and technology,
worldwide studies, social policy or comparative economics.
Sustainable Investing: Socio-Economic Impacts of Exchange-Traded
Funds examines the social and economic effects of sustainable
investing ETFs and their impacts on the global financial system.
The book presents the key issues with regard to sustainable
investing, discussing exchange-traded funds mechanisms and
categories in comparison to competing investment funds. The book
outlines the theoretical determinants of ETF markets development
and the effects of their diffusion, both at the investor and firm
levels, as well as financial system, entire economy, and society
levels. The book presents various possible implementations of
sustainable investing, and covers the methodological aspects of
their identification and categorization. Hybrid investment
products-such as exchange-traded funds that combine the investment
features of mutual funds with the trading features of stocks-are
one of the most rapidly growing categories of investment funds with
their total global value reaching almost $5 trillion. The book
examines the linkages between ETFs and the FinTech sector in the
context of sustainable development, as well as global sustainable
development policies in relation to their effects on the popularity
of sustainable investing. The book concludes with a discussion of
the significance for other entities that may be affected, such as
policy makers and recipients of funds invested through sustainable
investment strategies.
This book examines the role that Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) play in growth and economic development
promotion, specifically for developing countries. It highlights
multiple methodologies for quantifying the impact of ICTs. This
includes quantitative and qualitative methods, but also novel,
conclusive and informative methodological approaches for measuring
ICTs influence on economic development. The book highlights trends,
perspectives, and success stories for different developing
countries. ICTs bring new business models, innovations,
capital-labor substitution, improved goods and services to
developing markets. Because they can spread rapidly, with little
cost and require minimal skills for usage, ICTs create a solid
background for social and economic gains. They enable significant
reduction in information asymmetries, which improves access to
economic activities for multitude of agents, fostering
participation, inter alias in labor market of disadvantaged
societal groups. After almost two decades of rapid diffusion of ICT
in developing world, this book seeks to assess the real benefits
and consequences of ICTs adoption in developing countries. The
chapters use broad, real-world based evidence to provide a better
understanding of the precise nature of new technologies and their
impact of the country`s economy and society.

Exchange-Traded Funds in Europe provides a single point of
reference on a diverse set of regional ETF markets, illuminating
the roles ETFs can play in risk mitigation and speculation.
Combining empirical data with models and case studies, the authors
use diffusion models and panel/country-specific regressions-as well
as graphical and descriptive analyses- to show how ETFs are more
than conventional, passive investments. With new insights on how
ETFs can improve market efficiency and how investors can benefit
when using them as investment tools, this book reveals the
complexity of the world's second largest ETF market and the ways
that ETFs are transforming it.
This book is dedicated to examining Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
market in the Asia-Pacific region between 2004 and 2017. It offers
a broad examination of the attributes and development of the ETF
markets. The book presents a new approach to ETF markets modeling
that uses innovation diffusion model. In addition, it explores the
empirical links between ETFs and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs). The book also compares ETFs and competing
investment options. This book should appeal to both academics and
practitioners as it includes detailed descriptions of the ETF
markets and prepared projections regarding their future
development. As the Asia-Pacific region plays a significant role in
the global economy, this book should be useful for international
readers beyond this area. The Emergence of ETFs in Asia-Pacific
begins with an overview of the Asia-Pacific economies, focusing on
their importance for the global economy and their features. Next,
the book introduces an analytical framework. It explains major
features of ETFs (such as their creation, distribution, and
trading) and key categories, which facilitates profound
understanding of the book merit even for readers with little
knowledge about ETFs. The following chapter explores the role of
ICTs in economy and society identifying channels of their impact on
financial markets. It discusses how ICTs foster dynamic spread of
financial innovations (including ETFs) across financial markets.
Next, the book examines the ETF market's development in different
countries in the Asia-Pacific region, by analyzing their level of
development in terms of turnover. In this part it also provides
brief characteristics of all markets, including their structures
and categories of ETFs in various countries. Consecutive part of
the book is dedicated to reports on the process of ICTs growing
penetration across Asia-Pacific countries, showing the changes
observed during recent years. It then continues the empirical
analysis of the ETF markets in the Asia-Pacific region by
attempting to trace the links between the development of ETF
markets and ICT penetration during the period 2004-2017. As
complementary material, a methodological annex is included showing
major analytical techniques used throughout the research.
