We analyzed the effects of Indian factors namely, Nifty index, Volatility index (VIX), and Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (EPUI) and United States of America (USA) factors such as S&P 500 Index, CBOE VIX, and EPUI on differential voting rights (DVRs) share prices and ordinary share prices of three dual-class companies in India during the monthly period from January 2012-August 2019 using quantile regression approach. We found quite interesting and useful results. In case of dual-class shares of Jain Irrigation Systems, DVR share prices were significantly influenced by Nifty and S&P 500. In contrast, USA VIX and Indian & USA EPUI had less impact on DVRs. We noticed an insignificant dependence between India VIX and DVRs across different quantiles. Further, impact of Nifty, S&P 500, India VIX, USA VIX, and USA EPUI on ordinary share prices varied across the quantiles; whereas, India EPUI had no influence on ordinary shares' prices. Regarding dual-class shares of Tata Motors, Nifty and S&P 500 had a significant impact on DVRs. However, DVRs were less sensitive to rest of the factors. For ordinary share prices, S&P 500 had a significant influence. However, the effects of other variables on ordinary share prices were not uniform across the quantiles. With respect to dual-class shares of Future Enterprises, both DVRs and ordinary share prices were highly affected by all the variables, except ordinary share prices were not exposed to India VIX.Downloads
