AbstractThis paper utilizes path analysis, an approach common in behavioral and natural science literatures but relatively unseen in finance and accounting, to improve inferences drawn from a combined database of financial and non-financial information. Focusing on the revenue generating activities of Internet firms, this paper extends the literature on Internet valuation while addressing the potentially endogenous and multicollinear nature of the Internet activity measures applied in their tests. Results suggest that both SG&A and R&D have significant explanatory power over the web activity measures, suggestive that these expenditures represent investments in product quality. Evidence from the path analysis also indicates that both accounting and non-financial measures, in particular SG&A and pageviews, are significantly associated with firm revenues. Finally, this paper suggests other areas of accounting research which could benefit from a path analysis approach.

We study the heteroskedasticity and jump behavior of the Thai baht using models of the square root stochastic volatility with or without jumps. The Bayesian factor is used to evaluate the explanatory power of competing models. The results suggest that in our sample, the square root stochastic volatility model with independent jumps in the observation and state equations (SVIJ) has the best explanatory power for the 1996 Asian financial crisis. Using the estimation results of the SVIJ model, we are able to link the major events of the Asian financial crisis to jump behavior in either volatility or observation.

Machine learning has successful applications in credit risk management, portfolio management, automatic trading, and fraud detection, to name a few, in the domain of finance technology. Reformulating and solving these topics adequately and accurately is problem specific and challenging along with the availability of complex and voluminous data. In credit risk management, one major problem is to predict the default of credit card holders using real dataset. We review five machine learning methods: the [Formula: see text]-nearest neighbors decision trees, boosting, support vector machine, and neural networks, and apply them to the above problem. In addition, we give explicit Python scripts to conduct analysis using a dataset of 29,999 instances with 23 features collected from a major bank in Taiwan, downloadable in the UC Irvine Machine Learning Repository. We show that the decision tree performs best among others in terms of validation curves.
