With the continuous questioning of the efficient market hypothesis and the booming development of behavioral finance theory, the basic framework of financial economics becomes increasingly blurred. Meanwhile, the adaptive market hypothesis proposed by Lo (2004), underscoring time-varying market...

The efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) is one of the most important economic and financial hypotheses that have been tested over the past century. Due to many abnormal phenomena and conflicting evidence, otherwise known as anomalies against EMH, some academics have questioned whether EMH is...

This paper introduces a new algorithm for exploiting time-series predictability-based patterns to obtain an abnormal return, or alpha, with respect to a given benchmark asset pricing model. The algorithm proposes a deterministic daily market timing strategy that decides between being fully...

In this paper, we study a comprehensive set of risk premia of country equity returns for 45 countries over the sample period 2002 to 2018 in both a single and a multiple factor setting. Using a new three-pass estimation method for factor risk premia by Giglio and Xiu (2021), we find that several...

Hong, Torous, and Valkanov (2007) report that a number of U.S. industry returns can forecast the stock market using monthly data. Reexamining their results with an extended period, 1946-2013, and data, 48 industries, I find that only one to seven industries have significant predictive ability...

The aim of this paper is to investigate the momentum effect in country-level anomalies in global equity markets. By using a sample of 78 countries for the period from 1995 to 2015, we test a set of potential 40 cross-sectional inter-market anomalies, some of which had never been examined before....

Recent empirical evidence from different markets suggests that the security market line is flatter than posited by CAPM. This flatness implies that a portfolio long in low-beta assets and short in high-beta assets would earn positive returns. Frazzini and Pedersen (2014) conceptualize a BAB...
