Beta Forecasting With Realized Beta Estimators and Machine Learning Algorithms

Journal of Forecasting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper applies machine learning algorithms to the modeling of realized betas for the purposes of forecasting stock systematic risk. Higher levels of beta forecast accuracy are demonstrated, relative to other studies in the literature. These improvements are also highly significant, both statistically and economically.

A dual decomposition of the single-parameter Gini social evaluation functions [PDF]

Advances in Intelligent Systems Research, 2015
For each single-parameter Gini social evaluation function, and by using the dual decomposition of the OWA operators, we derive two contributing factors. The …rst one, the self-dual core that can be considered as a positional measure, similar to the mean.

Revisiting the Nexus Between Trade Liberalisation and Income Inequality: The Case of Sub‐Saharan African Countries

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines the impact of trade liberalisation on income inequality across 24 Sub‐Saharan African (SSA) countries from 2000 to 2020. Using IV‐Tobit and 2SLS models, we consistently find that greater trade openness significantly exacerbates inequality in the region. Critically, we document an inverted U‐shaped relationship between trade

Asymmetric Long‐Run Effects of Monetary Policy on Generational Inequality

International Journal of Finance &Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the asymmetric long‐run effects of reversing contractionary monetary policy to expansionary policy on generational inequality in the UK using non‐linear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL). The results show that there exists a long‐term relationship between monetary policy and income, consumption, and wealth ...

Deniers and Compliers: Unpacking the Heterogeneous Effectiveness of U.S. Stay‐at‐Home Mandates During the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Journal of Applied Econometrics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While existing work shows COVID‐19 stay‐at‐home (SAH) policies decreased mobility on average, we lack evidence regarding heterogeneity in policy effectiveness across US counties. To uncover potential heterogeneity, we implement a novel two‐stage approach.

The Gini coefficient reveals more. [PDF]

We revisit the well-known decomposition of the Gini coefficient into betweengroups, within-groups and overlap terms in the context of two groups in which the incomes in one group may be scaled and that group’s population weight modified.
