Title Stock Crises and Stock Behavior: Case of Saudi Stock Market
 
Creator Al-Twaijry, Abdulrahman A. M.
 
Description The Saudi stock market is more than 25 years  old, and since its birth in 1985 and until 2005, there has been no major collapse. However, duri ng the last few years (2006 – 2009), the market has witnessed two crises, the first is a major one and the second is minor. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of the 2006 stock crisis on the st ock market behavior and examine the effect of this crisis on stock prices and stock returns using thr ee models (financial, economic and accounting). The comparison and regression results reveal that stock  market behavior did change after the crisis. The financial model has been heavily affected by the crisis (adjusted R2 declined from 0.41 to 0.15 only after the crisis), whilst the economic model has only slightly changed (adjusted R2 was 0.61 before the crisis and 0.62 after it). The accounting model was also affected by the 2006 crisis, but not significantly. Even though the power of the model was lower after  the crisis, it remained high and significant.  Keywords: Saudi stock crises, Share prices,  Stock returns, Regression, Models.
