Investor’S Sentiment And Stock Return: An Empirical Study On The Thai Stock Market, Chang Chen Jan 2022

Investor’S Sentiment And Stock Return: An Empirical Study On The Thai Stock Market, Chang Chen

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The effect of investor sentiment on stock returns is one of the most recent developments in finance. The empirical literature includes developed stock markets. However, emerging markets, notably the Thai stock market, lack study subjects. The purpose is to deeply comprehend the link between investor sentiment and Thai stock market return. The aims include customizing investor sentiment indices to explain the Thai stock market index's movement, estimating investor sentiment's predictive ability, providing stock investors with referable trading strategies, and providing suggestions for cross-section equity selection. This study initially employs Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to customize the composite indices, called the …


The Impact Of Government Response To Covid-19 On Stock Return Predictability, Disayadej Dangdej Jan 2022

The Impact Of Government Response To Covid-19 On Stock Return Predictability, Disayadej Dangdej

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Recession is known to cause an increase in stock return predictability. The COVID-19 pandemics had not only resulted in sickness and loss of life but also plunged global economy into recession prompting governments to come up with measures to combat the disease. This paper first confirms that return predictability increased due the spread of COVID-19 using data from 41 countries on variations of popular predictors. Furthermore, it shows that government responses to COVID-19 alleviated the pandemic, the recession and reduced the return predictability with varying impact for different government measures. However, cases and deaths from COVID-19 which should have intensified …


Application Of Fractional Exponential Feature To Garch Model Variants For Improvement In Value-At-Risk Prediction, Chanet Saisatian Jan 2022

Application Of Fractional Exponential Feature To Garch Model Variants For Improvement In Value-At-Risk Prediction, Chanet Saisatian

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This research studies about using GARCH model variants as a parametric way in estimation and prediction of daily Value-at-Risk (VaR), one of famous risk measurement especially in financial world. To cope with various stylized facts on market’s volatility, two mixed GARCH models are proposed in this research: HY-GJR-GARCH model, the hybrid between hyperbolic GARCH (HYGARCH) and GJR-GARCH models, and HY-MS-GARCH model as the amalgam between HYGARCH and Markov switching GARCH (MSGARCH) models. These mixed models, along with rich mathematical formulations and benefits from their base models, are expected that their performance in predicting daily VaR is advanced against the performance …


Why Is The Third Principal Component Of The Yield Curve Important: A Point Of View From Reverse Stress Test On Credit Portfolio, Phanuwat Ritpornnarong Jan 2022

Why Is The Third Principal Component Of The Yield Curve Important: A Point Of View From Reverse Stress Test On Credit Portfolio, Phanuwat Ritpornnarong

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The focus of this study is to analyze the shape of the yield curve on credit portfolios during crises, specifically those that are exposed to both interest rate and credit risks. To achieve this, We utilized a reverse stress test (RST) and macroeconomic measures (such as GDP and U.S risk-free yields) from the period of 1981 to 2014 to estimate mathematical models. We then utilized a Monte Carlo simulation to determine the most likely scenario for the measures if the portfolio value reaches a pre-specified threshold. The researchers discovered that the shape of the stressed yield curves varied depending on …


The Effect Of Sustainability Index Inclusion On Equity Fund Allocation Evidence From Thailand, Tanakorn Makarabhiromya Jan 2022

The Effect Of Sustainability Index Inclusion On Equity Fund Allocation Evidence From Thailand, Tanakorn Makarabhiromya

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The concept of sustainability index has been accepted widely in the global investment context. However, sustainable investments are relatively underexplored in an emerging market as in Thailand. This study analyzes the relationship between corporate sustainability performance (proxy by announcement events of the Stock Exchange of Thailand Sustainability Index SETTHSI) and institutional investors’ awareness toward sustainability investment. An event studies on index announcement are applied to analyze the short-term effect from investors in stock market. The results indicate that there is only weak evidence that inclusion into the sustainability index has a positive impact to cumulative abnormal returns during release-related period, …


Forecasting Stock Volatility With Neural Network On Time Varying Transition Probability, Wasit Norakarntiansin Jan 2022

Forecasting Stock Volatility With Neural Network On Time Varying Transition Probability, Wasit Norakarntiansin

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Forecasting volatilities of financial security returns are important for many financial applications e.g., portfolio investment construction, risk management and trading strategy. The GARCH model has long been refined to capture the true dynamic of volatility on a security return. By applying the Markov switching to the GARCH model, the source of the temporary high volatility and high persistence of a shock to the volatility can be captured. In this study, we refine the Markov switching GARCH model further by applying the notion of the neural network to approximate the time varying transition probabilities. We aim to achieve a model that …

A Pair Trading Using Reinforcement Learning And Wavelet Decomposition, Panudate Nithinon Jan 2022

A Pair Trading Using Reinforcement Learning And Wavelet Decomposition, Panudate Nithinon

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

In this study, we propose a trading optimization methodology for the pair trading strategy. The Johansen cointegration test and the correlation measure are used for pair selection. We apply Deep-Q-network (DQN) technique in which the trainable reinforcement learning agent is designed to directly control the trading positions. The maximum overlap discrete wavelet transformation (MODWT) algorithm is used for generating the trading signal from the spread time series. Wavelet signal preprocessing is used to extract the original time series into cyclic time series components and long-term behavior components. Based on the in-sample performance this trading model successfully solves a profit maximizing …


Flow-Performance Relationship In Defi Yield Aggregator, Apisara Pornprasith Jan 2022

Flow-Performance Relationship In Defi Yield Aggregator, Apisara Pornprasith

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is a new financial infrastructure with applications similar to traditional financial products, such as exchange, lending, derivatives, and asset management. This paper empirically investigates Yearn finance, one of the fastest-growing and largest in DeFi yield aggregator protocols for on-chain asset management, to demonstrate the flow-performance relationship and compare it with mutual funds in traditional finance. According to the findings, there is a positive non-linear relationship between fund flows and recent performance for using stablecoin deposited. In contrast, we cannot find this relationship for using cryptocurrency. Then, we look further into stablecoin holder behaviour and our findings show …

Accrual-Based Earnings Management And Real Earnings Management Around Two Key Corporate Governance Regulatory Regime Changes In Thailand, Noor Nayeem Hasnat Farhan Jan 2022

Accrual-Based Earnings Management And Real Earnings Management Around Two Key Corporate Governance Regulatory Regime Changes In Thailand, Noor Nayeem Hasnat Farhan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Two major corporate governance-related regulatory changes, one in 1999 and one in 2008, were implemented as a means to increase the independence of boards of directors of public companies in Thailand. I study whether each of these regulatory changes affects the degree of and leads to substitution of accrual-based earnings management (AEM) and real earnings management (REM), plus the effect of family ownership on the type and degree of earning management. The outcomes of the two regulatory changes are different with respect to earnings management. Univariate tests suggest no change in the levels of AEM and REM for the 1999 …
