Accurate risk assessment is crucial for predicting potential financial losses. This paper introduces an innovative approach by employing expected risk models that utilize risk samples to capture comprehensive risk characteristics. The innovation lies in the integration of classical credibility theory with expected risk models, enhancing their stability and precision. In this study, two distinct expected risk models were developed, referred to as Model Type I and Model Type II. The Type I model involves independent and identically distributed random samples, while the Type II model incorporates time-varying stochastic processes, including heteroscedastic models like GARCH(p,q). However, these models often exhibit high variability and instability, which can undermine their effectiveness. To mitigate these issues, we applied classical credibility theory, resulting in credible expected risk models. These enhanced models aim to improve the accuracy of Value-at-Risk (VaR) forecasts, a key risk measure defined as the maximum potential loss over a specified period at a given confidence level. The credible expected risk models, referred to as CreVaR, provide more stable and precise VaR forecasts by incorporating credibility adjustments. The effectiveness of these models is evaluated through two complementary approaches: coverage probability, which assesses the accuracy of risk predictions; and scoring functions, which offer a more nuanced evaluation of prediction accuracy by comparing predicted risks with actual observed outcomes. Scoring functions are essential in further assessing the reliability of CreVaR forecasts by quantifying how closely the forecasts align with the actual data, thereby providing a more comprehensive measure of predictive performance. Our findings demonstrate that the CreVaR risk measure delivers more reliable and stable risk forecasts compared to conventional methods. This research contributes to quantitative risk management by offering a robust approach to financial risk prediction, thereby supporting better decision making for companies and financial institutions.
准确的风险评估对于预测潜在的财务损失至关重要。本文介绍了一种创新方法，即采用预期风险模型，利用风险样本来捕捉综合风险特征。其创新之处在于将经典可信度理论与预期风险模型相结合，增强了模型的稳定性和精确性。本研究开发了两种不同的预期风险模型，分别称为模型 I 和模型 II。I 类模型涉及独立且同分布的随机样本，而 II 类模型则包含时变随机过程，包括 GARCH(p,q) 等异方差模型。然而，这些模型往往表现出较高的变异性和不稳定性，这可能会削弱其有效性。为了缓解这些问题，我们应用了经典的可信度理论，从而建立了可信的预期风险模型。这些增强型模型旨在提高风险值（VaR）预测的准确性，风险值是一种关键的风险度量，被定义为在给定置信度下特定时期内的最大潜在损失。可信预期风险模型被称为 CreVaR，通过纳入可信度调整，提供更稳定、更精确的风险价值预测。这些模型的有效性通过两种互补方法进行评估：一是覆盖概率，用于评估风险预测的准确性；二是评分函数，通过比较预测风险与实际观察结果，对预测准确性进行更细致的评估。评分函数通过量化预测与实际数据的吻合程度，对进一步评估 CreVaR 预测的可靠性至关重要，从而提供了一个更全面的预测性能衡量标准。我们的研究结果表明，与传统方法相比，CreVaR 风险测量方法能提供更可靠、更稳定的风险预测。这项研究通过提供一种稳健的金融风险预测方法，为量化风险管理做出了贡献，从而为公司和金融机构做出更好的决策提供了支持。

This study proposes the inverse differential information theory, which predicts a positive relationship between misestimation and misplacement, two types of overconfidence. The inverse differential information theory contrasts with the existing theory of differential information, which argues for a negative relationship between these two types of overconfidence. This study shows that these differences arise from opposing perspectives on the accuracy with which individuals assess their own abilities or performance compared to others’. The inverse differential information theory posits that people tend to evaluate others more objectively than they do themselves. A positive relationship between misestimation and misplacement predicts that overestimation and overplacement, as well as underestimation and underplacement, tend to occur together. Analysis using financial literacy data from South Korean adults supports the prediction of the inverse differential information theory. When these two types of overconfidence form a positive relationship, they are expected to have systematically a significant impact on human decision-making and behavior. This study empirically demonstrates that the positive relationship between misestimation and misplacement in financial literacy significantly influences individuals’ financial behavior, specifically in the context of stock market participation experience. The inverse differential information theory requires further empirical validation across various domains, not just in the field of behavioral finance, to establish whether the positive interaction between misestimation and misplacement consistently influences human decision-making and behavior.

Micro-enterprises are at the heart of industrialized countries’ political concerns, particularly in Europe. If the latter are the subject of such special attention, it is because of their important role in terms of economic growth. This study evaluated the factors of business success as a multidimensional and multifaceted construct that integrates three aspects: entrepreneurial continuity, economic success, and entrepreneur satisfaction. Together, we included these three aspects in an econometric analysis using an ordered Probit model. We propose, from a new angle, an understanding of the determinants of the sustainable performance of micro-enterprises, in this case, those financed by microcredit in France. Our results show that total success seems to be explained in particular by elements from financial and human capital, motivation, and entrepreneurial support.

This study investigates the relationships among corporate sustainability development (CSD), enterprise risk management performance (ERMP), and green innovation (GI) in the Jordanian manufacturing firms. The empirical data of 97 companies listed on the Amman Stock Exchange were gathered in a time span of three months (i.e., January 2024 to March 2024). A structural equation modeling was employed to examine these complex dynamics. The findings reveal that CSD is negatively associated with both ERMP and enterprise sustainable performance in the short term, challenging conventional wisdom. However, CSD strongly promotes GI, which in turn positively influences ERMP while negatively affecting short-term performance. GI acts as a significant mediator, positively mediating the CSD–ERMP relationship and negatively mediating the CSD–performance link. These results extend the sustainability paradox concept to emerging economies and highlight the critical role of GI in balancing sustainability initiatives with risk management and performance outcomes. The study suggests that firms may experience initial disruptions when implementing sustainability practices, but these initiatives can drive innovation within organizations. Based on these findings, this study recommends that managers in emerging economies adopt a long-term perspective when implementing sustainability initiatives and develop more flexible risk management systems. Policymakers should consider supportive frameworks to help firms navigate the tensions between sustainability, innovation, and short-term performance. Future research should employ longitudinal designs to capture the dynamic nature of these relationships and explore potential moderating factors such as firm size or industry-specific characteristics.
本研究调查了约旦制造业企业的企业可持续发展（CSD）、企业风险管理绩效（ERMP）和绿色创新（GI）之间的关系。研究收集了在安曼证券交易所上市的 97 家公司的经验数据，时间跨度为三个月（即 2024 年 1 月至 2024 年 3 月）。研究采用了结构方程模型来考察这些复杂的动态变化。研究结果表明，短期内，CSD 与 ERMP 和企业可持续绩效呈负相关，这挑战了传统观点。然而，CSD 对 GI 有很大的促进作用，而 GI 又对 ERMP 产生积极影响，同时对短期绩效产生消极影响。GI 起着重要的中介作用，对 CSD 与 ERMP 的关系起着积极的中介作用，对 CSD 与绩效的关系起着消极的中介作用。这些结果将可持续发展悖论的概念延伸到了新兴经济体，并强调了 GI 在平衡可持续发展举措与风险管理和绩效结果方面的关键作用。研究表明，企业在实施可持续发展实践时，最初可能会遇到干扰，但这些举措可以推动组织内部的创新。基于这些研究结果，本研究建议新兴经济体的管理者在实施可持续发展措施时要有长远眼光，并开发更灵活的风险管理系统。政策制定者应考虑支持性框架，以帮助企业驾驭可持续发展、创新和短期绩效之间的矛盾。未来的研究应采用纵向设计，以捕捉这些关系的动态性质，并探索潜在的调节因素，如企业规模或特定行业特征。

This research proposes a novel arbitrage approach in multivariate pair trading, termed the Optimal Trading Technique (OTT). We present a method for selectively forming a “bucket” of fiat currencies anchored to cryptocurrency for monitoring and exploiting trading opportunities simultaneously. To address quantitative conflicts from multiple trading signals, a novel bi-objective convex optimization formulation is designed to balance investor preferences between profitability and risk tolerance. We understand that cryptocurrencies carry significant financial risks. Therefore this process includes tunable parameters such as volatility penalties and action thresholds. In experiments conducted in the cryptocurrency market from 2020 to 2022, which encompassed a vigorous bull run followed by a bear run, the OTT achieved an annualized profit of 15.49%. Additionally, supplementary experiments detailed in the appendix extend the applicability of OTT to other major cryptocurrencies in the post-COVID period, validating the model’s robustness and effectiveness in various market conditions. The arbitrage operation offers a new perspective on trading, without requiring external shorting or holding the intermediate during the arbitrage period. As a note of caution, this study acknowledges the high-risk nature of cryptocurrency investments, which can be subject to significant volatility and potential loss.

Financial literacy assessments typically rely on sample surveys containing sets of questions designed to gauge respondents’ comprehension of fundamental financial concepts necessary for making informed decisions. The answers to such questions, either categorical or continuous in nature, generally include a “Do not know” option. If those who choose the “Do not know” option are not a random sample of the population but exhibit peculiar characteristics, treating these observations as either incorrect responses or as missing data may distort the results regarding the determinants of financial literacy. A noteworthy case lies in the observation from survey studies that women tend to choose the “Do not know” option more frequently than men. In similar cases, treating the “Do not know” responses as incorrect answers increases the gender gap in financial literacy while treating them as missing values reduces the gap. We propose using a model with sample selection, which enables us to disentangle the inclination to answer “Do not know” from actual responses. By applying this model to a representative sample of the UK population, we do not find any systematic gender gap in financial knowledge. The study’s novel treatment of “Do not know” responses contributes valuable insights to the broader discourse on the determinants of financial literacy and the related gender-based differences.

Fluctuations in oil prices substantially impact both the real economy and international financial markets. Despite extensive studies on oil market dynamics and overnight momentum, a comprehensive understanding of the link between oil price changes and energy market momentum, as well as their broader influence on global financial markets, remains elusive. This study delves into the intricate mechanics of overnight momentum transmission within financial markets, focusing on its origin in oil price fluctuations and its overarching impact on market dynamics. Employing the quantile VAR method, we analyze daily market data from 3 January 2014 to 17 January 2024. This study emphasizes the significance of overnight momentum on the transmission of volatility, particularly in the tails of the distribution, and highlights the necessity for efficient strategies to govern financial stability. The shale oil revolution, COVID-19, the Russia–Ukraine war, and the Israel–Hamas conflict have significantly impacted the interconnectivity of financial markets on a global scale. It is crucial for policymakers to give priority to the monitoring of the energy market to reduce risks and improve the resilience of the system.

This paper analyzes the influence of social responsibility practices on the development of tax planning activities in companies listed on Euronext Lisbon. Although scientific research into social responsibility and tax planning is not new, scientific studies into the relationship between these two themes is a developing area of research that still raises many questions. This study was carried out on a sample of 30 companies listed on Euronext Lisbon, using data for the 2018 and 2019 periods. The hypotheses were formulated based on a literature review on this subject. A multiple linear regression model was developed to validate the hypotheses. The results show that the social, corporate governance, environmental, or economic components of corporate social responsibility do not influence tax planning. However, the results show that company size negatively impacts tax planning, i.e., larger companies have lower effective tax rates. In the sample studied, larger companies implemented more tax planning strategies. In this way, this study can complement the understanding of the relationship between social responsibility practices and tax planning activities in Portugal and internationally.

Although financial statements are extremely important to investors in decision-making processes, their reliability can be affected by earnings management (EM) practices, which involve manipulating financial reports in order to achieve managerial benefits. This study explores the relationship between earnings management and firm valuation, based on accounting information’s predictive value, specifically investigating how EM influences the value relevance (VR) of earnings on share price. The research focuses on a sample of audited companies listed on the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BSE) between 2019 and 2021, comprising 62 entities. Using regression analysis, we explored the importance of accounting information for investors following Ohlson’s research and examined the relationship between EM and VR based on Jones’s model. The findings indicate that earnings significantly impact stock prices, highlighting their value relevance in the Romanian stock market. However, the practice of earnings management reduces the value relevance of earnings because it decreases the reliability of the accounting information. The main contribution of this analysis is to provide a fresh perspective on earnings management (EM) within the BVB framework by highlighting its pivotal role in shaping the motivation and behavior of corporate managers.
虽然财务报表对投资者的决策过程极为重要，但其可靠性可能会受到收益管理（EM）做法的影响，即通过操纵财务报告来实现管理利益。本研究以会计信息的预测价值为基础，探讨收益管理与公司估值之间的关系，特别是研究收益管理如何影响收益对股价的价值相关性（VR）。研究以 2019 年至 2021 年间在布加勒斯特证券交易所（BSE）上市的已审计公司为样本，包括 62 家实体公司。通过回归分析，我们按照 Ohlson 的研究方法探讨了会计信息对投资者的重要性，并根据 Jones 的模型研究了 EM 与 VR 之间的关系。研究结果表明，收益对股票价格有重大影响，凸显了其在罗马尼亚股市中的价值相关性。然而，收益管理的做法降低了收益的价值相关性，因为它降低了会计信息的可靠性。本分析报告的主要贡献在于在 BVB 框架内为收益管理（EM）提供了一个全新的视角，强调了收益管理在塑造企业管理者动机和行为方面的关键作用。

The main contribution of this analysis is to provide a fresh perspective on earnings management (EM) within the BVB framework by highlighting its pivotal role in shaping the motivation and behavior of corporate managers.","PeriodicalId":45794,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Financial Studies","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141779365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Economic uncertainty has steadily increased in response to a series of unforeseen shocFks, notably the Global Financial Crisis, Brexit, COVID-19, and the Russia–Ukraine war. This study examined the impact of economic uncertainty on rents and capital values in Australia’s office, retail, and industrial property sectors. The reactions of these performance indicators to national uncertainty shocks were assessed through reduced-form vector autoregressive (VAR) models, using quarterly data from 2001Q1 to 2022Q3. Overall, there is an inverse relationship between uncertainty and commercial property performance, with notable variations in magnitude and persistence across the different subsectors. Rents are more sensitive to external shocks across all three subsectors, highlighting their role as signals of short-term performance. Following one standard deviation shock in uncertainty, rents steadily declined for approximately three years in the office and retail subsectors. Industrial rents, however, exhibited muted reactions and recovered quicker, typically within five quarters. This resilience to external shocks displayed by the industrial subsector positions it as a compelling option for defensive investment strategies and portfolio diversification. Capital values are less reactive than rents, showing minimal responses to uncertainty shocks and little long-term persistence.
