When Are Statistical Forecast Gains Economically Relevant? Evidence From Bitcoin Returns
ABSTRACT We study how statistical forecast gains for Bitcoin translate into trading profits. Using real‐time out‐of‐sample forecasts from daily bivariate VARs from October 2021 to February 2024, we show that Bitcoin returns are forecastable and that seven predictive indices yield significant gains in directional accuracy (DA).

A Fuzzy Framework for Realized Volatility Prediction: Empirical Evidence From Equity Markets
ABSTRACT This study introduces a realized volatility fuzzy time series (RV‐FTS) model that applies a fuzzy c‐means clustering algorithm to estimate time‐varying c$$ c $$ latent volatility states and their corresponding membership degrees. These memberships are used to construct a fuzzified volatility estimate as a weighted average of cluster centroids.

ABSTRACT This paper revisits the relationship between the US dollar and cross‐currency basis (XCB) swap spreads. We show that the strength and direction of this relationship depend on the prevailing regime of the broad dollar. The evidence suggests that the well‐documented “dollar appreciates, basis widens” result holds primarily when the dollar is in ...

Overcoming the Paradox of Measuring Self‐Awareness Development by Focusing on Outcomes
ABSTRACT Many HRD interventions aim to enhance self‐awareness to shape employee behavior, to develop skills, or as a performance‐related outcome. But measuring this development faces significant metacognitive challenges: self‐awareness changes when one's attention is directed to it, and self‐report relies on accurate self‐awareness.
