Jegadeesh (1990) examines the serial correlation in monthly stock returns and tests its economic significance by designing three trading strategies. In this study, we follow his research design to compare the security return predictability between US market and China market. The findings suggest...

A major obstacle for research in international asset pricing and corporate finance has been a lack of reliable and publicly available data on international common risk factors and portfolios. To address this gap, we provide a step-by-step description of how appropriately screened data from...

Demand is growing for a better understanding of how assets are priced in countries outside of the U.S. While financial data are available for many firms world-wide, it is important to have a reliable and replicable method of constructing high-quality systematic risk factors from these data. This...

We demonstrate that firm-specific momentum profits are predictable across a wide range of international equity markets when combining information given in a multitude of stock characteristics. This predictor is comparatively simple to compute and can yield significant positive out-of-sample...

This article derives a group of key-maturity zero-coupon yields (or spot rates) for the Chinese inter-bank Treasuries market by use of unsmoothed Fama-Bliss bootstrapping method. With the results of summary statistics and principal component analysis, we surprisingly find there are wide...

This paper evaluates the performance of machine learning methods in forecasting stock returns. Compared to a linear benchmark model, interactions and non-linear effects help improve predictive performance. But machine learning models must be adequately trained and tuned to overcome the high...

We examine the cross-section of international equity risk premia with machine learning methods. We identify, classify, and calculate 88 market characteristics and use them to forecast country returns with various machine learning techniques. While all algorithms produce substantial economic...

We examine an array of short-term mean-reversion indicators for global equities. The indicators encompass the most widely known price oscillators from the field of technical analysis along with several modified versions first developed by the author in the 2009- 2010 time frame. Constructing...
