Learning stock market dynamics using the kinetic ising model by Nguyen, Ai Linh

“…We fitted the stock returns of 30 Dow Jones companies in 2014 from Yahoo finance, and also to 16 artificial data sets generated using the kinetic Ising model resulting in 32 final average weights matrices, to understand the limitations of using the fitted model to do predictions. We find that when we perform static forecasting, i.e. one-step ahead only, the prediction accuracy can as high as 77.60% for a Dow Jones stock and 98.49% for an artificial data.…”

The effect of China's weak institutional environment on the quality of Big 4 audits by Ke, Bin, Lennox, Clive S., Xin, Qingquan

“…This study examines whether China's weak institutional environment results in lower-quality audits by the Big 4 firms. We find that the Big 4 assign their less experienced partners to companies that are listed only in China compared with clients cross-listed in Hong Kong. …”

Exogenous shocks and exchange rate regimes by Chia, Wai-Mun, Cheng, Tianyin, Li, Mengling

“…From both the theoretical model and empirical evidence, we find that (i) output responses to terms-of-trade and foreign interest rate shocks are smoother in floats, (ii) price responses to terms-of-trade shocks are smoother in floats than in pegs, while its responses to foreign interest shocks are more volatile in floats than in pegs, and (iii) the effects of terms-of-trade and foreign interest shocks are more prolonged under floats.…”

Competing pairing interactions responsible for the large upper critical field in a stoichiometric iron-based superconductor CaKFe4As4 by Bristow, M, Knafo, W, Reiss, P, Meier, W, Canfield, PC, Blundell, SJ, Coldea, AI

“…The upper critical fields are extremely large, reaching values close to ∼3 Tc at the lowest temperature, and the anisotropy decreases dramatically with temperature, leading to essentially isotropic superconductivity at 4.2K. We find that the temperature dependence of the upper critical field can be well described by a two-band model in the clean limit with band-coupling parameters favoring intraband over interband interactions. …”
