In this study, we examine the asymmetric relationship between the tone of state media—China Central Television (CCTV)—and the bond market during the COVID-19 pandemic in China using a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag model. We find a long-term cointegrated but asymmetric relationship between changes in the tone of CCTV News on COVID-19 and aggregate bond market returns, while the short-run analysis finds a stronger contemporaneous bond market reaction to negative CCTV tone changes than to positive ones. Sectoral bond market results indicate that both short- and long-term market reactions to changes in CCTV tone are stronger in bonds backed by the government, including treasury bonds, municipal bonds, and policy market bonds. Regarding bonds with different credit ratings, we document a nonsignificant long-term reaction to CCTV tone changes in the AAA credit rating group. Finally, for bonds with various maturities, we find that long-maturity treasury bonds are insensitive to changes in CCTV tone in both the short and long run.

Background
In recent decades, the evolving job market has highlighted the importance of work-life balance (WLB), yet there remains ambiguity around individuals' awareness of WLB's future consequences and its influence on their choices.
Methods
This study introduces a novel method for assessing the perceived impact of three components of one's current WLB—stress and burnout, boundaries, and flexibility—on one’s future financial situation, future health, and future community relations. Additionally, we evaluate the validity of our approach by investigating how the perceived future impact affects decision making related to WLB and job compensation (salary; pension).
Results
We find large differences between the perceived impact of each WLB component on each future aspect of life. We then demonstrate the linkage between the perceived impact and individuals’ current financial decision-making processes regarding WLB management.
Conclusions
Our results offer managers insights for informed decision-making on allocating resources to WLB components in organizations.

This study examines the impact of online media sentiment on stock returns using a dataset of over 8.3 million online financial media reports covering Chinese A-share listed companies. The findings reveal that more positive media sentiment towards a company is associated with higher average monthly stock returns. A zero-investment arbitrage strategy, constructed by buying stocks with high media sentiment and selling those with low media sentiment, yields a significant monthly premium of 4%. These effects are particularly pronounced for stocks with higher investor attention and lower liquidity. Moreover, even after controlling for known risk factors or during IPO quiet periods when no new information is introduced, companies with positive media sentiment continue to exhibit higher stock returns. Further analysis shows that media sentiment can explain approximately 4% to 12% of various market anomalies, and the media sentiment premium exhibits return reversals. This research uncovers the unique mechanisms of media effects in emerging markets and provides robust support for the limited attention theory from behavioral finance.

This study investigates the relationship between investor sentiment and stock market performance using a novel approach: the X-based happiness index. Analyzing U.S. firms from 2008 to 2023, we employ both ordinary least squares (OLS) and quantile regression techniques to examine potential nonlinear relationships. While OLS results show a positive association between happiness and returns, our quantile regression analysis reveals a more nuanced relationship: the positive correlation is present across all quantiles but achieves statistical significance exclusively in the upper quantile. This asymmetric effect suggests that happiness exerts its strongest influence during periods of high returns, with tests confirming that the effect in the highest quantile significantly differs from other market conditions. Our findings contribute to behavioral finance literature by demonstrating how social media-derived sentiment measures can capture market dynamics missed by traditional indicators, suggesting investors should pay particular attention to happiness indicators during strong market performance.
本研究采用一种新方法:基于 X 的幸福指数,研究投资者情绪与股市表现之间的关系。在分析 2008 年至 2023 年的美国公司时,我们采用了普通最小二乘法(OLS)和量子回归技术来研究潜在的非线性关系。虽然 OLS 结果显示幸福感与回报率之间存在正相关关系,但我们的量化回归分析却揭示了一种更为微妙的关系:正相关关系存在于所有量化值中,但只有在上量化值中达到了统计显著性。这种非对称效应表明,幸福感在高回报时期会产生最强的影响,测试证实,最高量级的影响与其他市场条件显著不同。我们的研究结果证明了社交媒体衍生的情绪指标如何捕捉传统指标所遗漏的市场动态,从而为行为金融学文献做出了贡献,建议投资者在市场表现强劲时应特别关注幸福感指标。

An investment’s performance is often represented through charts, which are key components in making informed investment decisions but allow for discretion in how the information is presented. In a controlled, incentivized experiment that models an advisor–client setting, we specifically study the discretion in the charts’ vertical axis scale. Our findings reveal that advisors tend to present positive returns on a comparatively narrow scale – thereby enhancing the size of the return bars – while no distinct pattern is observed for negative returns. Advisors’ scaling choices do not vary with different incentive schemes. For positive returns, chosen scales are positively related to advisors’ forecasts. We therefore find no evidence that advisors use the chart’s axis scale to visually emphasize or de-emphasize investment performance in a strategic manner. Additionally, investors’ decisions and forecasts are not affected by different scales. This study extends the existing literature by exploring an interactive advisor–client setting and contributes to our understanding of how return information is presented in investment decisions.

This study investigates the cross-sectional pricing of sentiment risk in cryptocurrencies, defined as price sensitivity to changes in the Crypto Fear and Greed Index, from November 2018 to July 2024. Controlling for market, size, reversal, and liquidity factors, cryptocurrencies with intermediate sentiment risk yield a risk-adjusted weekly return 3.57% higher than those with low or high risk, revealing a negative sentiment risk premium in cryptocurrencies with high positive sentiment beta. This negative risk premium is partially attributed to overpayment for lottery-like cryptocurrencies. These findings remain robust across cross-sectional regressions, various quantile portfolios, alternative risk factors, and diverse illiquidity measures.

We investigate the effect of emotional images on financial decision-making in an incentivized and pre-registered experiment. Utilizing a set of images rated on the emotional dimensions of valence and arousal from the Open Affective Standardized Image Set (OASIS) (Kurdi et al., 2017), we develop an experimental framework that can be easily applied to other contexts such as the use of images in corporate reporting. Further, we introduce a set of nature-related images which are pervasive in the advertisement of sustainable investment products. We show that negative images cause lower investments in risky mutual funds compared to neutral images, while positive images do not exhibit the opposite effect. Nature-related images do not cause investors to invest more than comparable non-nature images. Our results offer insights for financial regulators who are concerned with the impact of selective company disclosure and providers of financial products about the influence on emotional images on financial decisions.

We study how cognitive constraints relate to each distinct step of the planning and execution process for retirement, that is, individuals’ propensity to plan, savings goals set, and economic outcomes (wealth accumulation and portfolio choice). We find that different cognitive constraints play distinct roles: Higher advanced financial literacy (and quantitative reasoning ability) predicts a greater propensity to plan, while higher basic financial literacy and verbal cognition predict setting higher savings goals. Math-related abilities are not associated with savings goals in a systematic way. Furthermore, our evidence shows that the economic consequences of retirement planning depend on the earlier set savings goals. In comparison to non-planners, only planners with a higher savings goal (above the median) accumulate more wealth and are more likely to hold risky assets and private annuities. Our findings suggest that when crafting public policy to develop individuals’ retirement readiness, next to improving financial literacy, other targets could be to enhance cognitive skills and to support setting concrete savings goals by, for example, providing better access to planning relevant information and tools.

Using the novel Quantile VAR connectedness approach, this paper investigates the connectedness between G7 equity markets and derivative tokens across various quantiles. Empirical results demonstrate that the spillovers at the higher and lower quantiles are significantly higher than at the mean and median quantiles. Except for Japan, other G7 equity markets are net transmitters, while the derivative tokens are net recipients. The dynamic connectedness indices vary with time and quantiles and they are more volatile at the extreme quantiles. The optimal hedging strategy offers higher risk reduction effectiveness, especially the US equity-token pairs. Our findings offer implications for various stakeholders.

This study assesses return spillovers and hedging dynamics between supply chain tokens and traditional assets, including equities, currencies, bonds, gold, oil, and Bitcoin, using a time-frequency quantile connectedness approach. Findings reveal that while supply chain tokens exhibit weak connectedness with traditional assets during stable periods, heightened market volatility, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic, significantly increases return spillovers, particularly from equities and Bitcoin. Supply chain tokens offer some diversification potential, especially when paired with oil (WTI), but their effectiveness as hedging instruments varies by time horizon and market conditions. Optimal portfolio weights and hedge ratios suggest that investors should dynamically adjust allocations to mitigate risks effectively, particularly during market instability. These insights emphasize the need for adaptable portfolio strategies when integrating supply chain tokens with traditional assets.
