Most papers in the portfolio choice literature have examined linear predictability frameworks based on the idea that simple but flexible Vector Autoregressive (VAR) models can be expanded to produce portfolio allocations that hedge against the bull and bear dynamics typical of financial markets...

Researchers in finance very often rely on highly persistent – nearly integrated – explanatory variables to predict returns. However, statistical inference in predictive regressions depends critically upon the stochastic properties of the posited explanatory variable, and in particular, of...

In this paper, we consider a stochastic asset price model where the trend is an unobservable Ornstein Uhlenbeck process. We first review some classical results from Kalman filtering. Expectedly, the choice of the parameters is crucial to put it into practice. For this purpose, we obtain the...

The new energy industry is strongly supported by the state, and accurate forecasting of stock price can lead to better understanding of its development. However, factors such as cost and ease of use of new energy, as well as economic situation and policy environment, have led to continuous...

It is assumed in the news-based model (NBM) that stock prices are determined with macroeconomic news (modeled with the total market return in the spirit of CAPM), industry news (modeled with the relevant industry ETF returns), and the company-specific news and momentum that are described using...

This paper examines the main drawbacks of technical analysis. Although this is widely used by practitioners, from an academic perspective it can only be seen as a form of "voodoo finance". In particular, it runs into the following pitfalls: Subjectivity; Doubtful assumptions; Unjustified...
