Asymmetric Effects of Uncertainty and Commodity Markets on Sustainable Stock in Seven Emerging Markets

The increase in global economic policy uncertainty (EPU), volatility or stock market uncertainty (VIX), and geopolitical risk (GPR) has affected gold prices (GD), crude oil prices (WTI), and stock markets, which present challenges for investors. Sustainable stock investments in emerging markets may minimize and diversify investor risk. We applied the non-linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model to examine the effects of EPU, VIX, GPR, GD, and WTI on sustainable stocks in seven emerging markets (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa, Taiwan, and South Korea) from January 2012 to June 2023. EPU, VIX, GPR, GD, and WTI showed non-linear cointegration with sustainable stocks in seven emerging markets and possessed different asymmetric effects in the short and long run. Change in EPU increases the return of Thailand’s sustainable stock in the long run. The long-run GPR only affects the return of Indonesian sustainable stock. All sustainable stocks are negatively affected by the VIX and positively affected by GD in the short and long run. Additionally, long-run WTI negatively affects the return of Indonesia’s sustainable stocks. Our findings contribute to rational investment decisions on sustainable stocks, including gold and crude oil prices, to hedge the asymmetric effect of uncertainty. Full article

This study focuses on the real estate bubble burst in the US housing market during 2007–2008. We analyze the dynamics of the housing market crash and the after-crash sequence during the Great Recession. When a complex system deviates away from its typical path by the occurrence of an extreme event, its behavior is strongly characterized as nonstationary with higher volatility. With the utilization of a robust method, we present the characteristics of the aftershock period and provide useful information about the spatial distribution and the decay process of the aftershock sequence in terms of time. The returns of the housing price indices are well approximated by the empirics of a power law. Although we deal with low-frequency data, a time power-law relaxation pattern is identified. Our findings align with those in geophysics, indicating that the value of the relaxation parameter typically hovers around one and varies across different thresholds. Full article

Intra-day transactions of stocks from competing firms in the financial markets are known to exhibit significant volatility and over-dispersion. This paper proposes some bivariate integer-valued auto-regressive models of order 1 (BINAR(1)) that are useful to analyze such financial series. These models were constructed under both time-variant and time-invariant conditions to capture features such as over-dispersion and non-stationarity in time series of counts. However, the quest for the most robust BINAR(1) models is still on. This paper considers specifically the family of BINAR(1)s with a non-diagonal cross-correlation structure and with unpaired innovation series. These assumptions relax the number of parameters to be estimated. Simulation experiments are performed to assess both the consistency of the estimators and the robust behavior of the BINAR(1)s under mis-specified innovation distribution specifications. The proposed BINAR(1)s are applied to analyze the intra-day transaction series of AstraZeneca and Ericsson. Diagnostic measures such as the root mean square errors (RMSEs) and Akaike information criteria (AICs) are also considered. The paper concludes that the BINAR(1)s with negative binomial and COM–Poisson innovations are among the most suitable models to analyze over-dispersed intra-day transaction series of stocks.

In this paper, we follow the suggestions of past literature to further explore the prediction of the profitability direction by employing different machine learning algorithms, extending the research in the European setting and examining the effect of profits mean reversion for the prediction of profitability. We provide evidence that simple algorithms like LDA can outperform classification trees if the data used are preprocessed correctly. Moreover, we use nested cross-validation and show that sample predictions can be obtained without using the classic train–test split. Overall, our prediction results are in line with previous studies, and we also found that cash flow-based measures like Free Cash Flow and Operating Cash Flow can be predicted more accurately compared to accrual-based measures like return on assets or return on equity.
