Machine learning in the Chinese stock market

Markus Leippold et al.

Summary: This study contributes to the empirical asset pricing literature in the Chinese stock market by utilizing various machine learning algorithms to build and analyze a comprehensive set of return prediction factors. The findings suggest that liquidity is the most important predictor and the dominance of retail investors positively affects short-term predictability. The predictability of large stocks and state-owned enterprises in the Chinese market over longer horizons is higher compared to the US market.

The recurrence of financial distress: A survival analysis

Fanyin Zhou et al.

Summary: This paper focuses on the recurrence of financial distress and conducts an empirical analysis on the Chinese stock market. The results show that accounting and market-based variables have limited power in predicting the recurrence of financial distress, while the duration of recovery, restructuring events, and their interaction with accounting and macroeconomic factors significantly affect the recurrent risk.

Predicting Future Earnings Changes Using Machine Learning and Detailed Financial Data

Xi Chen et al.

Summary: This study predicts the one-year-ahead earnings changes by utilizing machine learning methods and extensive financial data. The models exhibit significant out-of-sample predictive power, with the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve ranging from 67.52% to 68.66%, well above the random guess of 50%. The annual size-adjusted returns for hedge portfolios based on the models' predictions range from 5.02% to 9.74%. The models outperform traditional logistic regression models, small sets of accounting variables, and professional analysts' forecasts. The superior performance is believed to result from the machine learning models' ability to capture nonlinear predictor interactions missed by regressions, as well as the use of more detailed financial data.

Measuring credit risk using qualitative disclosure

John Donovan et al.

Summary: Machine learning methods can be utilized to create a comprehensive credit risk assessment based on information disclosed in conference calls and management's discussion and analysis section. This improved ability to predict credit events is beneficial for both academics and practitioners.

Global market inefficiencies

Sohnke M. Bartram et al.

Summary: Analyzing monthly fair values of stocks from multiple countries, a trading strategy based on deviations from fair value has shown significant risk-adjusted returns, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. The difference in alpha between emerging and developed markets contrasts with previous research findings. A country's pre-transaction cost alpha is positively related to its trading costs, surpassing the country's institutional trading costs. Global equity markets appear to be inefficient, especially in countries with quantifiable market frictions like trading costs.
