Structural Characteristics of Capital Market
ASSESSMENTS FOR ACADEMIC WRITING
Assignment 1: Research gap analysis (10%)
Start with something you are interested in. Ideally, you will choose some emerging idea, trend, movement, etc. that you are into but the rest of us might not yet know about. Or you could put a new twist on something we all think we know enough about but are missing something critical. Good writing is a process. An integral part of a good writing process is drafting and revision. Getting and giving feedback on writing in progress helps develop your writing as well as your overall writing skill. You are required to find a classmate and exchange writing with classmates who will help identify the strengths of your draft on the gap and point out areas needing more development. You can use this feedback to guide the revisions leading to your final paper.
Your job is to create the gap based on the reading of the few articles (minimum of 20 articles) on the selected topic. You are required to do a research gap table or mind map in order to highlight the gap of the research.
Assignment 2: Critical review (10%)
Select articles that are related to the selected research topic. You are required to do a critical review of selected articles.
Assignment 3: Conceptual Paper (20%) + Presentation (5%) + Submission to referred journal (5%)
Purpose: To practise an idea or concept from the beginning of the course. To practise writing specifically and convincingly on the research topic. Students will be taught how to use empirical evidence to back up their claims.
Introduction: Conceptual papers report the process and outcome of a research study that does not collect and analyse fresh empirical data. These papers do not test, using freshly collected and analysed empirical data, a set of hypotheses. Further explanations on the nature of the conceptual paper will be discussed in the class. Students are also highly encouraged to submit the paper in the related referred journal before the deadline to reap the 5%. As evidence of the submission, students are requested to take print screen all the steps involved during the submission process. For those submitted in the journal, they have to present and share their experience on the process involved during the submission to the journal. This will help other students to gain some knowledge on the process involved in the submission.

1.1 Problem Statement
The capital market cycle decision is significant in all organizations, institutions, and instruments that offer long-term and medium-term funds. Most finance managers face minimizing the cost of capital and maximizing investors' wealth (Chung & Turnovsky, 2010). Though businesses go through various stages, the unique characteristic at each phase may push an organization to display a different financial structure to suit their needs. In their study, Hodnett and Hsieh (2012) found that the capital market cycle changes along the economic cycle stages of an organization. This is influenced by different financing needs that change at every cycle point (Park, 2013). Researchers have conducted empirical evidence on the capital market cycle and how its relationship with the economic cycle can help firms improve their finances in each cycle phase.
1.2 Motivations
The stability and development of the capital market are core drivers of progressive, sound and well-functioning economic operatiosn from both micro-and macro spheres. The capital market generates substantial opportunities for businesses, investors, and traders. It remains a daunting securities platform amid heightening market disruptions and uncertainty. To widen the mechaniss for lucidity and interpretation of capital market performance, this study seeks to determine the structural relationship between capital market and business cycles. Various reasons motivated this study.
The first reason is lack of adequate empirical study on the economic growth factors and their connections to financial securies despite the strong attention paid to financial securities. Multiple studies have been done to establish the relationship between business cycle and economic growth, but no study has been conducted on the link between capital market cycle and business cycle. Experts have found that both cycles contribute significantly to the eonomy because they control the investors’ decisions. Rather than observing the capital market as one measurement, this sudy examines the sub-compomnents of the capital market independently. The second motivation is the need to evaluate the economic growth of the capital market. Studies show that this growth occurs in the short-rum and long-run. Investigating both the short-run and long-run growth based on the cycles is a good move.
The third motive is Malaysia’s remarkable growth in the financial market. Instead of focusing on multiple capital issuing countries, this study concentrated on Malaysia. Malaysia has experienced a remarkable growth in the financial market over the last three decades, and it has been a reference point for the financial market, particularly from legal framework and tax regime’s perspective. One of the most-though provoking aspects of capital market and economic analysis is the connection between the actual financial and economic dynamics (Ardalan, 2017). Malaysia’s financial economy, together with the global financial environment continue to be faced with un...
