Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As the core of the capital market, the issue of risks and returns in the stock market represents one of the frontier topics in contemporary financial economics. In the context of the unprecedented changes occurring in the world today and the frequent occurrence of international risk events, the new characteristics exhibited by the stock market have sparked fresh contemplation within both academic and practical circles.

This Special Issue aims to uncover the new characteristics of the relationship between risks and returns in the stock market amidst a complex and ever-changing environment, providing investors with scientific decision-making foundations and promoting the healthy development of capital markets.

We invite papers presenting original research on related topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  1. Classification, measurement, and predictive models of stock market risks;
  2. The specific impact of different risks (such as systemic risks and non-systemic risks) on returns;
  3. Exploration of risk management strategies and revenue optimization paths;
  4. Risk–return characteristics under extreme situations;
  5. Investor behavior and risk–return dynamics in stock markets;
  6. The application of emerging technologies (such as artificial intelligence and big data) in stock market risk management.

We anticipate your valuable contributions to enrich this discourse.

Dr. Zhifang He
Guest Editor
