Mousumi Bhattacharya and Sharad Nath Bhattacharya review the relationships between macroeconomic variables and performance in India’s financial markets. Their study is important for market participants and policymakers as macroeconomic factors may be the source of systematic risk that influences the stock market. The authors employ factor analysis as a solution to the multicollinearity issues associated with multiple macroeconomic factors. Using three statistical factors built from macroeconomic factors, they show how they impact the stock market, particularly during up and down market conditions.

Veena Iyer and Lata Chakravarthy address one of the most interesting issues arising from globalization that has occurred in recent years in various countries at the international level, this is the issue of convergence. In their paper, the authors discuss how Indian companies have carried out IFRS convergence processes and what impact such adoption methods have on determining the value of such an organization.

The paper contributes to shedding light on the reality of researchers’ interpretation of the detection motives and defining the theoretical perspectives used in preliminary theoretical analysis. Based on the relevant literature on corporate information disclosure, this paper constructs a theoretical framework to integrate the disclosure theory and gives a comprehensive theoretical explanation.
