Measuring Thematic Funds Performance via an Approach Based on Observable and Latent Factors
European Financial Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates whether thematic equity funds deliver abnormal performance relative to conventional global equity funds. Using Fama‐French models augmented with latent factors, we estimate fund‐level alphas, and apply the false discovery rate methodology to an estimated three‐group mixture distribution, separating good, null and bad ...

Language Learning, EarlyView.Abstract Do immersion and nonimmersion learners’ English grammaticality judgment test (GJT) scores reflect the same underlying processes in language learning? Drawing on data from Chen and Hartshorne's (2021) study, we argue that they do not. Using generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), we found that age of onset was the strongest predictor of GJT ...
