The research examines the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) in Damascus Stock Exchange (DSE), by using the monthly excess returns of (8) companies listed in (DSE), for the period of (2010-2013), and the monthly excess return of (DSE) index (DWX) for the same period. The researcher concluded that there is a significant relation between the volatility of the market excess return and the volatility of the excess returns of stocks of the examined companies, But the researcher also concluded that (CAPM) is not valid in (DSE), because of the failure in the statistical test. That the constant of the regression equation is not equal to zero and the slope of the security market line is not equal to the average excess return of the stocks of examined companies. The researcher recommended that this study should be retested when there are a suitable number of listed companies in order to form portfolios that can diversify away the effect of the unsystematic risk of each company, and to retest the CAPM after the crises, because the average excess returns for all of the examined companies were negative. Finally, the researcher recommended trying other models of asset pricing such as Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT), and (Fama) Multifactor Model.

This study aimed to examine the weak form efficiency of the Damascus Securities Exchange (DSE). The study used the monthly returns, adjusted for thin trading, of firms listed in the Damascus Securities Exchange from 2009 until 2014 and applied var ious tests to examine the random walk behavior in returns: the unit root test, the autocorrelation test, the runs test and the GARCH model. To take the impact of the Syrian crisis into account when judging the efficiency of the market, the study period was divided into three periods, the pre-crisis period, the crisis period and the whole period. The results revealed inability to reject the weak form efficient market hypothesis for more than half of the studied firms. Also it showed that the Syrian crisis, in general, has negatively affected the efficiency of most of the studied firms.
The objective of this research is to test the stability of systematic risk coefficients of stocks listed on the Damascus Securities Exchange through the period (4/1/2010 – 28/10/2013), and therefore the ability to use the values of these coefficients to calculate the required rate of return on investment in the individual stocks and portfolios. The data related to the closed prices of stocks and market index were collected from the website of DSE, which is used to estimate the values of systematic risk (Beta). Then the researcher has tested the stability of the coefficients throughout the entire period and the three sub-periods each one consists of five yearly quarters by using the time as a variable in the regression model, and by testing the significance of the coefficient of time variable. The results of the research show that greater than 80% of these coefficients were insignificant, that is, the higher percentage of stocks have a stable Beta, and can be used to calculate the required rate of return on investment, therefore suitable investment decisions may be made upon these results.
This paper aims to check whether the index (DWX) of Damascus Stock Exchange (DSE) is characterized by some of the stylized facts of most of the international and Arab stock markets, as: Volatility Clustering, Reversion to the Mean, and the Leverage E ffect. The GARCH and EGARCH models were applied using the returns series of DWX for a period from 31/12/2009 till 16/4/2013. The findings showed that DSE is characterized by: Volatility Clustering, meaning that large volatility today will be followed by large volatility tomorrow, Leverage Effect, meaning that volatility tends to rise more after a negative shock that a positive one, But the DWX is not characterized by the reversion to the mean process, due the explosive volatility of the index.
The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between accounting information and stock prices of listed companies on Damascus Stock Exchange in order to assess the usefulness of accounting information for investor’s decisions. Price Regr ession Model has been used to measure the explanatory power of book value and earnings in relation to variations in stock prices during the period from 2009 to 2012. The findings show that (1) preliminary financial reports provide useful accounting information for investors (2) earnings per share has a stronger impact on stock prices than book value (3) in comparison with final financial reports, balance sheet accounting information were more useful; whereas, income statement information were less useful.
