题目：基于大数据与机器学习的股票与债券市场预测(Different Strokes: Return Predictability Across Stocks and Bonds with Machine Learning and Big Data)

摘要：We investigate the return predictability across stocks and bonds using big data and machine learning. We find that machine learning models substantially improve the out-of-sample performance of stock and bond characteristics in predicting future stock and bond returns. Although both stock and bond characteristics provide strong forecasting power for both stock and bond returns, stock (bond) characteristics do not offer significant incremental predictive power above and beyond bond (stock) characteristics in predicting bond (stock) returns. The results also indicate that stock (bond) characteristics are cash flow (discount rate) predictors and stock (bond) return predictability is driven by mispricing (risk) phenomenon.

题目：基于自编码机器学习的金融大数据资产定价研究

摘要：本文在中国股票市场上，使用改进的自编码机器学习方法和包含近百个公司特征变量的金融大数据，对股票收益进行预测，并对自编码因子的收益预测来源进行全面的宏观经济分析。本文的研究发现，自编码因子能够从包含公司特征的大量信息中提取到有效的收益预测信号，并在横截面上获得显著的超额收益。在对因子重要度的研究中，本文发现我国股票市场异象具有时变特征。此外，本文从宏观经济状态和经济政策两个角度进行分析，研究结果表明，基于自编码的投资模型的有效性与宏观经济息息相关，它能够在市场泡沫成分较大和投机气氛较浓的情况下成功对冲市场风险，且能捕捉到财政政策和货币政策所导致的市场环境的变化。

题目：Delta Hedging and Volatility-Price Elasticity: A Two-Step Approach

摘要：Black-Scholes delta does not minimize variance of hedging risk since there exists a long run negative relationship between implied volatility and underlying price. Existing works have successfully captured the aforementioned long run relationship and improved the hedging performance of Black-Scholes delta. We move one step further by incorporating the short-term properties of the volatility-price relationship via a two-step empirical approach. Specifically, we find that the dependency of minimum variance (MV) hedging ratio on volatility-price elasticity is quite stable and that the volatility-price elasticity exhibits characteristic of mean-reverting. Therefore we first estimate a model which can capture the dependency of hedging ratio on volatility-price elasticity, and then substitute predictions of future volatility-price elasticity into the pre-fixed model to obtain the MV hedging ratio. We test the new approach using the S&P 500 daily option data and show that our approach results in higher hedging gain than related methods appeared in recent works.

题目：Labor Hiring and Stock Returns

摘要：Using a novel data from individual resumes of public firm employees, we propose a net labor hiring at the market and find that its monthly innovation predicts the subsequent market excess return negatively. This predictability is robust after controlling for common return predictors and alternative labor-related variables. Moreover, the superior performance of our measure exists out-of-sample and then delivers sizable economic gains for mean-variance investors in asset allocation. Because the net labor hiring is associated with the labor adjustment cost, its return predictability primarily stems from its ability to forecast future unemployment and cash flows.

题目：Media-expressed Tone, Option Characteristics, and Stock Return Predictability

摘要：We investigate the informational content of a huge assortment of NASDAQ articles about a joint cross-section of S&P 500 stock return data and related single-stock option data. Splitting the articles into a trading-time and an overnight archive, we distill tone from each of them. We show that media-expressed tone impacts option markets and that both option data and tone predict stock returns. This result is robust to partialing out tone, but depends on whether the tone is from the overnight or from the trading-time archive which differ in terms of their thematic content. Overall, we conclude that the informational content of option data for predicting single-stock returns extends beyond the information summarized in tone and traditional market factors.

题目：Completing the Market: Generating Shadow CDS Spreads by Machine Learning

摘要：We compared the predictive performance of a series of machine learning and traditional methods for monthly CDS spreads, using firms’ accounting-based, market-based and macroeconomics variables for a time period of 2006 to 2016. We find that ensemble machine learning methods (Bagging, Gradient Boosting and Random Forest) strongly outperform other estimators, and Bagging particularly stands out in terms of accuracy. Traditional credit risk models using OLS techniques have the lowest out-of-sample prediction accuracy. The results suggest that the non-linear machine learning methods, especially the ensemble methods, add considerable value to existent credit risk prediction accuracy and enable CDS shadow pricing for companies missing those securities.

题目：Selecting Mutual Funds from the stocks they hold: A machine learning approach

摘要：We select mutual funds in real time by combining individual fund holdings and a large number (94) of stock characteristics to compute fund-level exposures to characteristics on the basis of the stocks they hold. The majority of funds are exposed---both positively and negatively--to approximately 40-50 characteristics. In addition, fund performance is non-linearly related to fund characteristics and their interactions. This feature proves important when we predict fund performance, as machine learning methods such as boosted regression trees (BRTs) significantly outperform standard linear frameworks. Our BRT-generated forecasts encompass the ones generated by the predictors of mutual fund performance that have been proposed in the literature so far.
