媒体信息量异常或有害股票收益

本文借助一个独特的数据样本,运用媒体对股票的剩余关注度模型,实证研究异常媒体信息量与股票收益之间的关系,以期为投资者进行投资决策提供一定的参考和指导。研究发现:异常媒体信息量越大,该股票在下一个月的平均收益率越低,存在媒体效应;由此所构造的零投资组合经CAPM模型、FF三因素模型和Car-hart四因素模型调整后,均能获取显著的超额收益,结果具有稳健性。此外,实证结果还表明媒体效应所带来的超额收益源于媒体信息量异常大的股票组合的显著低收益,本文认为,这种不对称现象产生的原因可能更多的是由投资者情绪导致的股票价格对媒体报道的过度反应,并进而导致较低的期望收益。

Approximating the time-weighted return: The case of flows at unknown time

We consider the problem of approximating the true time-weighted return when a cash flow occurs at an unknown time during the estimation period, which is usually the case of a traditional portfolio evaluated on a daily basis. We aim to provide the best approximation, in terms of mean square error (MSE), under the following main assumptions: the distribution of the log-returns belongs to a subclass of elliptical distributions; a single flow occurs at a uniformly distributed random time; the amount of the flow and the returns of the period are independent. We derive a closed-form formulation for high evaluation frequencies when the returns satisfy the popular assumption of a Geometric Brownian Motion. Besides, with the further assumption of small flows, the Original Dietz return can be obtained as an approximation of our optimal estimator. This implies that under the above-mentioned conditions the Original Dietz return has a MSE close to the minimum. Although further improvements of the MSE seem to be possible only by increasing the estimation frequency, which in turn is usually infeasible, our model provides a rigorous way to handle large flows, which are especially frequent in applications such as performance attribution.     

A possibilistic mean-semivariance-entropy model for multi-period portfolio selection with transaction costs

This paper deals with a multi-period portfolio selection problem with fuzzy returns. A possibilistic mean-semivariance-entropy model for multi-period portfolio selection is presented by taking into account four criteria viz., return, risk, transaction cost and diversification degree of portfolio. In the proposed model, the return level is quantified by the possibilistic mean value of return, the risk level is characterized by the lower possibilistic semivariance of return, and the diversification degree of portfolio is measured by the originally presented possibilistic entropy. Furthermore, a hybrid intelligent algorithm is designed to obtain the optimal portfolio strategy. Finally, the comparison analysis between the possibilistic entropy model and the proportion entropy model is provided by two numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approaches and the designed algorithm.     

On the effectiveness of scenario generation techniques in single-period portfolio optimization

In single-period portfolio selection problems the expected value of both the risk measure and the portfolio return have to be estimated. Historical data realizations, used as equally probable scenarios, are frequently used to this aim. Several other parametric and non-parametric methods can be applied. When dealing with scenario generation techniques practitioners are mainly concerned on how reliable and effective such methods are when embedded into portfolio selection models. In this paper we survey different techniques to generate scenarios for the rates of return. We also compare the techniques by providing in-sample and out-of-sample analysis of the portfolios obtained by using these techniques to generate the rates of return. Evidence on the computational burden required by the different techniques is also provided. As reference model we use the Worst Conditional Expectation model with transaction costs. Extensive computational results based on different historical data sets from London Stock Exchange Market (FTSE) are presented and some interesting financial conclusions are drawn.     

Time consistent behavioral portfolio policy for dynamic mean–variance formulation

When one considers an optimal portfolio policy under a mean-risk formulation, it is essential to correctly model investors’ risk aversion which may be time variant or even state dependent. In this paper, we propose a behavioral risk aversion model, in which risk aversion is a piecewise linear function of the current excess wealth level with a reference point at the discounted investment target (either surplus or shortage), to reflect a behavioral pattern with both house money and break-even effects. Due to the time inconsistency of the resulting multi-period mean–variance model with adaptive risk aversion, we investigate the time consistent behavioral portfolio policy by solving a nested mean–variance game formulation. We derive a semi-analytical time consistent behavioral portfolio policy which takes a piecewise linear feedback form of the current excess wealth level with respect to the discounted investment target. Finally, we extend the above results to time consistent behavioral portfolio selection for dynamic mean–variance formulation with a cone constraint.

Worst-case robust decisions for multi-period mean–variance portfolio optimization

In this paper, we extend the multi-period mean–variance optimization framework to worst-case design with multiple rival return and risk scenarios. Our approach involves a min–max algorithm and a multi-period mean–variance optimization framework for the stochastic aspects of the scenario tree. Multi-period portfolio optimization entails the construction of a scenario tree representing a discretised estimate of uncertainties and associated probabilities in future stages. The expected value of the portfolio return is maximized simultaneously with the minimization of its variance. There are two sources of further uncertainty that might require a strengthening of the robustness of the decision. The first is that some rival uncertainty scenarios may be too critical to consider in terms of probabilities. The second is that the return variance estimate is usually inaccurate and there are different rival estimates, or scenarios. In either case, the best decision has the additional property that, in terms of risk and return, performance is guaranteed in view of all the rival scenarios. The ex-ante performance of min–max models is tested using historical data and backtesting results are presented.     

考虑顾客退货和固定成本的联合补货与定价策略

为了吸引更多顾客,许多电子商务零售商允许顾客在一定时间内退货,导致其利润明显减少。同时,在补货时不仅产生依赖补货量的变动成本,而且会产生与补货量无关的固定成本。基于此,以最大化电子商务零售商的利润为目标,建立考虑顾客退货和固定成本的联合补货与定价模型,其中顾客的退货量与满足的需求呈正比。在一般需求情形下,部分刻画多期问题的最优策略;在特殊需求情形下,证明(s,S,p)策略对单期问题最优,并对多期问题的最优策略进行严格刻画。根据已有刻画为多期问题构造启发式策略。数值结果表明启发式策略近似最优;当初始库存水平足够高/低时,最优补货水平和定价随退货率与固定成本单调变化。关键词:联合补货与定价模型;顾客退货;固定成本;随机动态规划;最优策略     

A comparison of dynamic hazard models and static models for predicting the special treatment of stocks in China with comprehensive variables

The stock exchanges in China give a stock special treatment in order to indicate its risk warning if the corresponding listed company cannot meet some requirements on financial performance. To correctly predict the special treatment of stocks is very important for the investors. The performance of the prediction models is mainly affected by the selection of explanatory variables and modelling methods. This paper makes a comparison between the multi-period hazard models and five widely used single-period static models by investigating a comprehensive category of variables including accounting variables, market variables, characteristic variables and macroeconomic variables. The empirical result shows that the performance of the models is sensitive to the choice of explanatory variables but the performance between the multi-period hazard models and the single-period static models has no significant difference.     

A multi-period inventory model with multi-dimensional procurement bidding

We consider a multi-period inventory model with raw material procurements carried out via a reverse auction. Bids are multi-dimensional, and they consist of supplier information of price, shortage quantity and lead time. This work is an extension of our earlier work that has focused on multi-dimensional procurement auctions in single-period inventory models, to multi-period settings. The new model is based on a hybrid approach combining stochastic dynamic programming and simulation.     

Portfolio selection with a minimax measure in safety constraint

In this paper, we attempt to design a portfolio optimization model for investors who desire to minimize the variation around the mean return and at the same time wish to achieve better return than the worst possible return realization at every time point in a single period portfolio investment. The portfolio is to be selected from the risky assets in the equity market. Since the minimax portfolio optimization model provides us with the portfolio that maximizes (minimizes) the worst return (worst loss) realization in the investment horizon period, in order to safeguard the interest of investors, the optimal value of the minimax optimization model is used to design a constraint in the mean-absolute semideviation model. This constraint can be viewed as a safety strategy adopted by an investor. Thus, our proposed bi-objective linear programming model involves mean return as a reward and mean-absolute semideviation as a risk in the objective function and minimax as a safety constraint, which enables a trade off between return and risk with a fixed safety value. The efficient frontier of the model is generated using the augmented -constraint method on the GAMS software. We simultaneously solve the ratio optimization problem which maximizes the ratio of mean return over mean-absolute semideviation with same minimax value in the safety constraint. Subsequently, we choose two portfolios on the above generated efficient frontier such that the risk from one of them is less and the mean return from other portfolio is more than the respective quantities of the optimal portfolio from the ratio optimization model. Extensive computational results and in-sample and out-of-sample analysis are provided to compare the financial performance of the optimal portfolios selected by our proposed model with that of the optimal portfolios from the existing minimax and mean-absolute semideviation portfolio optimization models on real data from S&P CNX Nifty index.
