When Do Investors Freak Out? Machine Learning Predictions of Panic Selling by Elkind, Daniel, Kaminski, Kathryn, Lo, Andrew W., Siah, Kien Wei, Wong, Chi Heem

“…Using a novel dataset of 653,455 individual brokerage accounts belonging to 298,556 households, we document the frequency, timing, and duration of panic sales, which we define as a decline of 90% of a household account’s equity assets over the course of one month, of which 50% or more is due to trades. We find that a disproportionate number of households make panic sales when there are sharp market downturns, a phenomenon we call ‘freaking out.’ …”

Temperature and Cognitive Performance: Evidence from Mental Arithmetic Training by Krebs, Benjamin

“…Using data from 31,000 individuals and 1.15 million games played, I analyze frequent engagement in a cognitively challenging task in a non-stressful and familiar environment. I find that, above a threshold of 16.5∘ C, a 1∘ C increase in outside air temperature leads to a performance reduction of 0.13%. …”

Life-cycle stock market participation in taxable and tax-deferred accounts by Zhou, Jie.

“…This paper develops a quantitative life-cycle model to study the optimal stock market participation choice for households with assets in both TAs and TDAs. We find that differential costs of stock market participation in the two accounts explain the higher participation rate in TDAs early in life relative to TAs and the increasing stock market participation rate in TAs over the life cycle. …”

We find that IPOs issued during this period are generally underpriced, although there is no significant difference in the underpricing of IPOs issued between the Main Board and SESDAQ. …”

Initial public offering : voluntary disclosure and its effect on United States IPOs. by Koh, Wee Meng., Lim, Junrong., Ong, Peng Kiat.

“…There is no conclusive evidence to show any significant relationship between the voluntary disclosure of the use of proceeds and accounting performance except that firms that specify higher R&D expenditure in dollar details have better Return on Assets (ROA). We also find that firms that disclose higher dollar details in debt repayment will result in better post-IPO long run stock performance. …”
