Exploring the Relationship Between Patent Forward Citation and Stock Return Rate Using Empirical Data of China Stock Market

A novel indicator called price-citation was proposed.Based on the company integrated patent database of China listed companies of common stocks(A-shares)with the stock price and the stock return rate data,more than two thousand of A-shares from 2017 to 2020 were selected.The effect of the traditional patent forward citation and the price-citation for discriminating the stock return rate was thoroughly analyzed via ANOVA.The A-shares of forward citation counts above the average showed higher stock return rate means than the A-shares having patents but receiving no forward citations.The price-citation,combining both the financial and patent attributes,defined as the multiplication of the current stock price and the currently receiving forward citation count,showed its excellence in discriminating the stock return rate.The A-shares of higher price-citation showed significantly higher stock return rate means while the A-shares of lower price-citation showed significantly lowest stock return rate means.The price-citation effect had not been changed by COVID-19 though COVID-19 affected the social and economic environment to a considerable extent in 2020.

The Impact of Short Selling Disclosure Regulatory Constraint on the Lending Market and Stock Ownership

We examine the impact of the short sell disclosure(SSD)regime on the stock lending market and investor behaviors,employing a staggered difference-indifference(DiD)methodology.Our research reveals that the introduction of the disclosure regime enhances market transparency,resulting in a diminished appeal of stock ownership in the lending market for active investors.This shift is accompanied by a reduction in information leakage risks and longer loan durations.Specifically,our analysis reveals a significant decrease in the risk of loan recall by 4.87%,accompanied by an average increase of 23.72%in loan duration for short selling activities.Furthermore,the cost associated with short-sell disclosure causes a decline in both lending supply and short demand.

Whether profitability and investment factors have additional explanatory power compared with Fama-French three-factor model:Empirical evidence on Chinese A-share stock market

Fama and French propose a five-factor model containing the market factor and factors related to size,book-to-market equity ratio,profitability and investment,which outperforms the Fama-French three-factor model in their paper 2014.This study investigates the performance of Fama-French five-factor model and compare with that of Fama-French three-factor model on Chinese A-share stock market.The empirical results show that Fama-French five-factor model explanatory power has differences among different sets of portfolios.Compared with Fama-French three-factor model,the presence of profitability and investment factors donot seem to capture more variations of expected stock returns than the three-factor model except for six value-weighted portfolios formed on size and operating profitability.

Research on the Dynamic Volatility Relationship between Chinese and U.S. Stock Markets Based on the DCC-GARCH Model under the Background of the COVID-19 Pandemic

This study utilizes the Dynamic Conditional Correlation-Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (DCC-GARCH) model to investigate the dynamic relationship between Chinese and U.S. stock markets amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Initially, a univariate GARCH model is developed to derive residual sequences, which are then used to estimate the DCC model parameters. The research reveals a significant rise in the interconnection between the Chinese and U.S. stock markets during the pandemic. The S&P 500 index displayed higher sensitivity and greater volatility in response to the pandemic, whereas the CSI 300 index showed superior resilience and stability. Analysis and model estimation suggest that the market’s dependence on historical data has intensified and its sensitivity to recent shocks has heightened. Predictions from the model indicate increased market volatility during the pandemic. While the model is proficient in capturing market trends, there remains potential for enhancing the accuracy of specific volatility predictions. The study proposes recommendations for policymakers and investors, highlighting the importance of improved cooperation in international financial market regulation and investor education.

China’s Monetary Policy Impacts on Money and Stock Markets

This study investigated the impact of China’s monetary policy on both the money market and stock markets,assuming that non-policy variables would not respond contemporaneously to changes in policy variables.Monetary policy adjustments are swiftly observed in money markets and gradually extend to the stock market.The study examined the effects of monetary policy shocks using three primary instruments:interest rate policy,reserve requirement ratio,and open market operations.Monthly data from 2007 to 2013 were analyzed using vector error correction(VEC)models.The findings suggest a likely presence of long-lasting and stable relationships among monetary policy,the money market,and stock markets.This research holds practical implications for Chinese policymakers,particularly in managing the challenges associated with fluctuation risks linked to high foreign exchange reserves,aiming to achieve autonomy in monetary policy and formulate effective monetary strategies to stimulate economic growth.

Survey of feature selection and extraction techniques for stock market prediction

In stock market forecasting,the identification of critical features that affect the performance of machine learning(ML)models is crucial to achieve accurate stock price predictions.Several review papers in the literature have focused on various ML,statistical,and deep learning-based methods used in stock market forecasting.However,no survey study has explored feature selection and extraction techniques for stock market forecasting.This survey presents a detailed analysis of 32 research works that use a combination of feature study and ML approaches in various stock market applications.We conduct a systematic search for articles in the Scopus and Web of Science databases for the years 2011–2022.We review a variety of feature selection and feature extraction approaches that have been successfully applied in the stock market analyses presented in the articles.We also describe the combination of feature analysis techniques and ML methods and evaluate their performance.Moreover,we present other survey articles,stock market input and output data,and analyses based on various factors.We find that correlation criteria,random forest,principal component analysis,and autoencoder are the most widely used feature selection and extraction techniques with the best prediction accuracy for various stock market applications.

Stock market prediction using deep learning algorithms

The Stock Market is one of the most active research areas,and predicting its nature is an epic necessity nowadays.Predicting the Stock Market is quite challenging,and it requires intensive study of the pattern of data.Specific statistical models and artificially intelligent algorithms are needed to meet this challenge and arrive at an appropriate solution.Various machine learning and deep learning algorithms can make a firm prediction with minimised error possibilities.The Artificial Neural Network(ANN)or Deep Feedforward Neural Network and the Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)are the two network models that have been used extensively to predict the stock market prices.The models have been used to predict upcoming days'data values from the last few days'data values.This process keeps on repeating recursively as long as the dataset is valid.An endeavour has been taken to optimise this prediction using deep learning,and it has given substantial results.The ANN model achieved an accuracy of 97.66%,whereas the CNN model achieved an accuracy of 98.92%.The CNN model used 2-D histograms generated out of the quantised dataset within a particular time frame,and prediction is made on that data.This approach has not been implemented earlier for the analysis of such datasets.As a case study,the model has been tested on the recent COVID-19 pandemic,which caused a sudden downfall of the stock market.The results obtained from this study was decent enough as it produced an accuracy of 91%.

The effect of overseas investors on local market efficiency:evidence from the Shanghai/Shenzhen–Hong Kong Stock Connect

Using a recent stock market liberalization reform policy in China—the Stock Connect—as a quasi-natural experiment,this study examines the effect of stock market liberalization on market efficiency.Employing a dataset of 17,086 Chinese listed firms covering 2009 to 2018,we find that stock market liberalization improves the market efficiency of the Chinese mainland stock market.We further explore the potential channels through which the Stock Connect can enhance the efficiency of the A-share(A-shares refer to shares issued by Chinese companies incorporated in China's Mainland,traded in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange.They are denominated in Chinese RMB(the local currency).A-shares were restricted to local Chinese investors before 2003,are open to foreign investors via the Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor,RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor,or the Stock Connect programs.)market.The findings show that liberalizing capital markets could benefit local market efficiency by increasing stock price informational efficiency and improving corporate governance quality.The additional analysis shows that stock market liberalization has a significant and positive impact on local market efficiency,enhancing firm value and reducing stock crash risk.We conduct various robustness checks to corroborate our findings.This study provides important policy implications for emerging countries liberalizing capital markets for foreign investors.

Stock Market Index Prediction Using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques

Stock market forecasting has drawn interest from both economists and computer scientists as a classic yet difficult topic.With the objective of constructing an effective prediction model,both linear and machine learning tools have been investigated for the past couple of decades.In recent years,recurrent neural networks(RNNs)have been observed to perform well on tasks involving sequence-based data in many research domains.With this motivation,we investigated the performance of long-short term memory(LSTM)and gated recurrent units(GRU)and their combination with the attention mechanism;LSTM+Attention,GRU+Attention,and LSTM+GRU+Attention.The methods were evaluated with stock data from three different stock indices:the KSE 100 index,the DSE 30 index,and the BSE Sensex.The results were compared to other machine learning models such as support vector regression,random forest,and k-nearest neighbor.The best results for the three datasets were obtained by the RNN-based models combined with the attention mechanism.The performances of the RNN and attention-based models are higher and would be more effective for applications in the business industry.

A Survey on Stock Market Manipulation Detectors Using Artificial Intelligence

A well-managed financial market of stocks,commodities,derivatives,and bonds is crucial to a country’s economic growth.It provides confidence to investors,which encourages the inflow of cash to ensure good market liquidity.However,there will always be a group of traders that aims to manipulate market pricing to negatively influence stock values in their favor.These illegal trading activities are surely prohibited according to the rules and regulations of every country’s stockmarket.It is the role of regulators to detect and prevent any manipulation cases in order to provide a trading platform that is fair and efficient.However,the complexity of manipulation cases has increased significantly,coupled with high trading volumes,which makes the manual observations of such cases by human operators no longer feasible.As a result,many intelligent systems have been developed by researchers all over the world to automatically detect various types of manipulation cases.Therefore,this review paper aims to comprehensively discuss the state-of-theart methods that have been developed to detect and recognize stock market manipulation cases.It also provides a concise definition of manipulation taxonomy,including manipulation types and categories,as well as some of the output of early experimental research.In summary,this paper provides a thorough review of the automated methods for detecting stock market manipulation cases.

Deep Learning-Based Stock Price Prediction Using LSTM Model

The stock market is a vital component of the broader financial system,with its dynamics closely linked to economic growth.The challenges associated with analyzing and forecasting stock prices have persisted since the inception of financial markets.By examining historical transaction data,latent opportunities for profit can be uncovered,providing valuable insights for both institutional and individual investors to make more informed decisions.This study focuses on analyzing historical transaction data from four banks to predict closing price trends.Various models,including decision trees,random forests,and Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM)networks,are employed to forecast stock price movements.Historical stock transaction data serves as the input for training these models,which are then used to predict upward or downward stock price trends.The study’s empirical results indicate that these methods are effective to a degree in predicting stock price movements.The LSTM-based deep neural network model,in particular,demonstrates a commendable level of predictive accuracy.This conclusion is reached following a thorough evaluation of model performance,highlighting the potential of LSTM models in stock market forecasting.The findings offer significant implications for advancing financial forecasting approaches,thereby improving the decision-making capabilities of investors and financial institutions.

ST-Trader:A Spatial-Temporal Deep Neural Network for Modeling Stock Market Movement

Stocks that are fundamentally connected with each other tend to move together.Considering such common trends is believed to benefit stock movement forecasting tasks.However,such signals are not trivial to model because the connections among stocks are not physically presented and need to be estimated from volatile data.Motivated by this observation,we propose a framework that incorporates the inter-connection of firms to forecast stock prices.To effectively utilize a large set of fundamental features,we further design a novel pipeline.First,we use variational autoencoder(VAE)to reduce the dimension of stock fundamental information and then cluster stocks into a graph structure(fundamentally clustering).Second,a hybrid model of graph convolutional network and long-short term memory network(GCN-LSTM)with an adjacency graph matrix(learnt from VAE)is proposed for graph-structured stock market forecasting.Experiments on minute-level U.S.stock market data demonstrate that our model effectively captures both spatial and temporal signals and achieves superior improvement over baseline methods.The proposed model is promising for other applications in which there is a possible but hidden spatial dependency to improve time-series prediction.

Interdependence between the stock market and the bond market in one country:evidence from the subprime crisis and the European debt crisis

Background:Once a global financial crisis breaks out,the interdependence between different financial markets suddenly increases and leads to a significant contagion.Methods:With 39 countries used as samples,this paper analyzes the interdependence between the stock market and the government bond market during the crisis periods.Results:It proves that the investor focuses more on the safety of their portfolio so there is neither a flight from quality nor a positive spillover during a crisis period.When one market is safer than the other market in the same country,a flight to quality occurs between the two markets;however,when the two markets in one country are both risky,negative spillover appears between these two markets.Conclusions:This means a flight to quality from the stock market to the short-term government bond will occur more frequently than will occur from the stock market to the long-term government bond markets.In addition,a flight to quality always emerges in developed markets,while negative spillovers take place in emerging markets and in the PIIGS countries(Portugal,Italy,Ireland,Greece,and Spain,referred to hereon as“PIIGS”)in the European Debt Crisis.

Can the Baidu Index predict realized volatility in the Chinese stock market?

This paper incorporates the Baidu Index into various heterogeneous autoregressive type time series models and shows that the Baidu Index is a superior predictor of realized volatility in the SSE 50 Index.Furthermore,the predictability of the Baidu Index is found to rise as the forecasting horizon increases.We also find that continuous components enhance predictive power across all horizons,but that increases are only sustained in the short and medium terms,as the long-term impact on volatility is less persistent.Our findings should be expected to influence investors interested in constructing trading strategies based on realized volatility.

Predicting Stock Prices Using Polynomial Classifiers: The Case of Dubai Financial Market

Predicting stock price movements is a challenging task for academicians and practitioners. In particular, forecasting price movements in emerging markets seems to be more elusive because they are usually more volatile often accompa-nied by thin trading-volumes and they are susceptible to more manipulation compared to mature markets. Technical analysis of stocks and commodities has become a science on its own;quantitative methods and techniques have been applied by many practitioners to forecast price movements. Lagging and sometimes leading technical indicators pro-vide rich quantitative tools for traders and investors in their attempt to gain advantage when making investment or trading decisions. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been used widely in predicting stock prices because of their capability in capturing the non-linearity that often exists in price movements. Recently, Polynomial Classifiers (PC) have been applied to various recognition and classification application and showed favorable results in terms of recog-nition rates and computational complexity as compared to ANN. In this paper, we present two prediction models for predicting securities’ prices. The first model was developed using back propagation feed forward neural networks. The second model was developed using polynomial classifiers (PC), as a first time application for PC to be used in stock prices prediction. The inputs to both models were identical, and both models were trained and tested on the same data. The study was conducted on Dubai Financial Market as an emerging market and applied to two of the market’s leading stocks. In general, both models achieved very good results in terms of mean absolute error percentage. Both models show an average error around 1.5% predicting the next day price, an average error of 2.5% when predicting second day price, and an average error of 4% when predicted the third day price.

An efficient stock market prediction model using hybrid feature reduction method based on variational autoencoders and recursive feature elimination

In this study,the hourly directions of eight banking stocks in Borsa Istanbul were predicted using linear-based,deep-learning(LSTM)and ensemble learning(Light-GBM)models.These models were trained with four different feature sets and their performances were evaluated in terms of accuracy and F-measure metrics.While the first experiments directly used the own stock features as the model inputs,the second experiments utilized reduced stock features through Variational AutoEncoders(VAE).In the last experiments,in order to grasp the effects of the other banking stocks on individual stock performance,the features belonging to other stocks were also given as inputs to our models.While combining other stock features was done for both own(named as allstock_own)and VAE-reduced(named as allstock_VAE)stock features,the expanded dimensions of the feature sets were reduced by Recursive Feature Elimination.As the highest success rate increased up to 0.685 with allstock_own and LSTM with attention model,the combination of allstock_VAE and LSTM with the attention model obtained an accuracy rate of 0.675.Although the classification results achieved with both feature types was close,allstock_VAE achieved these results using nearly 16.67%less features compared to allstock_own.When all experimental results were examined,it was found out that the models trained with allstock_own and allstock_VAE achieved higher accuracy rates than those using individual stock features.It was also concluded that the results obtained with the VAE-reduced stock features were similar to those obtained by own stock features.
