Using social media mining technology to assist in price prediction of stock market

Abstract: Price prediction in stock market is considered to be one of the most difficult tasks, because of the price dynamic. Previous study found that stock price volatility in a short term is closely related to the market sentiment; especially for small-cap stocks. This paper used the social media mining technology to quantitative evaluation market segment, and in combination with other factors to predict the stock price trend in short term. Experiment results show that by using social media mining combined with other information, the stock prices prediction model can forecast more accurate.

The glass ceiling that refuses to break: Women directors on the boards of listed firms in China and India

Abstract: This study uses quantitative analysis to build as complete a picture as possible of the gendered-nature of boardrooms in major listed firms in China and India. Data were collected and analysed to understand where women hold boardroom positions across the range of company sizes and types in both countries. In particular, data were analysed to establish the extent to which board size, company size (market capitalisation), workforce size, industry sector and/or firm ownership type are related to the presence of women on the board of a company. It was discovered that women do better than average in firms from within the financial services sector, and in firms with a larger work-force size. State-owned firms do comparatively better in India than in China, possibly reflecting the fact that women's political empowerment in India is more advanced than in China, and much more advanced than women's economic participation in India.

Revista Europea de Dirección y Economía de la Empresa

Abstract: a b s t r a c t An analysis has been performed, from a financial perspective, on the behaviour of the recently constituted Spanish REITs (SOCIMIs) compared to equivalent investment vehicles in other markets. The aim is to broaden this research field, which has barely been studied so far. It is shown that the creation of a SOCIMI is an effective alternative for companies to obtain liquidity through their real estate assets, compared to other more common alternatives such as the disposal of assets or obtaining bank finance. Furthermore, a model has been defined that can forecast the ratio obtained when dividing market capitalization by the Net Asset Value (P/NAV) of a SOCIMI, which is a key variable for both investors and companies interested

The banking bailout of the subprime crisis: size and effects

Abstract: This paper examines government policies aimed at rescuing banks from the effects of the great financial crisis of 2007-2009. To delimit the scope of the analysis, we will concentrate on the fiscal side of interventions and will ignore, by design, the monetary policy reaction to the crisis (in essence, we will ignore inflation as a possible crisis exit). The paper is organized in three parts. The first (Section 2) gives a description of the subprime crisis that fits many aspects of a creditboom-and-bust-cycle (CBB, for short) hypothesis. Crises, on the other hand, have idiosyncratic features. The distinctive characteristic of this crisis has been the creation of complex and opaque assets and the transfer of these assets from the balance sheet of banks to the markets. The subprime crisis, as is well known by now, has been big in terms of geographical coverage, number of failed and rescued banks, and real sector spillovers. Over a 19-month period starting at the end of July of 2007, a representative sample of 120 large banks from the United States, Western Europe and the Pacific region lost $3.23 trillion of market capitalization. The depth of the crisis cannot be explained only by deteriorating fundamentals; as predicted by the CBB hypothesis, the bust that followed the boom led to a sharply rising risk aversion of the investing public. The second part (Section 3) reviews the long list of government
