考虑碳配额回购融资的再制造企业生产决策

以资金约束的再制造企业为研究对象，分析了碳配额回购融资下的再制造生产决策问题。分别建立了资金约束下有无碳配额回购融资的再制造生产决策模型，利用Kuhn-Tucker条件得到了不同情形下的最优解，并对两种情形下的最优解进行了比较；通过算例分析初始生产资金、消费者偏好和碳配额回购量对最优产量和利润的影响。研究表明：当初始生产资金较低时，再制造企业选择碳配额回购融资会提高新品产量和总产量；若消费者对再制造品的偏好较高，采取碳配额回购融资提高再制造企业的利润；随着碳配额回购量的提高，再制造企业的利润先提高后降低。另外，存在唯一的最优碳配额回购量使得利润最大。     

Short‐term salmon price forecasting

This study establishes a benchmark for short‐term salmon price forecasting. The weekly spot price of Norwegian farmed Atlantic salmon is predicted 1–5 weeks ahead using data from 2007 to 2014. Sixteen alternative forecasting methods are considered, ranging from classical time series models to customized machine learning techniques to salmon futures prices. The best predictions are delivered by k‐nearest neighbors method for 1 week ahead; vector error correction model estimated using elastic net regularization for 2 and 3 weeks ahead; and futures prices for 4 and 5 weeks ahead. While the nominal gains in forecast accuracy over a naïve benchmark are small, the economic value of the forecasts is considerable. Using a simple trading strategy for timing the sales based on price forecasts could increase the net profit of a salmon farmer by around 7%.     

Microbes,mathematics, and models

Microbial model systems have a long history of fruitful use in fields that include evolution and ecology. In order to develop further insight into modelling practice, we examine how the competitive exclusion and coexistence of competing species have been modelled mathematically and materially over the course of a long research history. In particular, we investigate how microbial models of these dynamics interact with mathematical or computational models of the same phenomena. Our cases illuminate the ways in which microbial systems and equations work as models, and what happens when they generate inconsistent findings about shared targets. We reveal an iterative strategy of comparative modelling in different media, and suggest reasons why microbial models have a special degree of epistemic tractability in multimodel inquiry.     

我国股票市场行业间波动溢出效应研究——基于改进的EMD去噪方法

针对我国股市噪声交易能量较大、行业指数同步性较高的特点,提出改进的EMD(empirical mode decomposition,经验模态分解)去噪方法对行业数据进行处理,进而采用BEKK-GARCH模型分析金融危机前、金融危机期间、金融危机后三个阶段行业间波动溢出效应.研究表明,在降低股价同步性方面,改进的EMD去噪方法效果更佳;行业间波动溢出效应在金融危机期间显著上升,金融危机后回落;较之金融危机前,金融危机后传统制造业受产业链上游的波动溢出效应有所降低、受科研的波动溢出效应有增强的趋势.

On the Difficulty of Measuring Forecasting Skill in Financial Markets

The use of correlation between forecasts and actual returns is commonplace in the literature, often used as a measurement of investors' skill. A prominent application of this is the concept of the information coefficient (IC). Not only can the IC be used as a tool to rate analysts and fund managers but it also represents an important parameter in the asset allocation and portfolio construction process. Nevertheless, a theoretical understanding of it has typically been limited to the partial equilibrium context where the investing activities of each agent have no effect on other market participants. In this paper we show that this can be an undesirable oversimplification and we demonstrate plausible circumstances in which conventional empirical measurements of IC can be highly misleading. We suggest that improved understanding of IC in a general equilibrium setting can lead to refined portfolio decision making ex ante and more informative analysis of performance ex post.

Incorporating textual and management factors into financial distress prediction: A comparative study of machine learning methods

Financial distress prediction (FDP) has been widely considered as a promising approach to reducing financial losses. While financial information comprises the traditional factors involved in FDP, nonfinancial factors have also been examined in recent studies. In light of this, the purpose of this study is to explore the integrated factors and multiple models that can improve the predictive performance of FDP models. This study proposes an FDP framework to reveal the financial distress features of listed Chinese companies, incorporating financial, management, and textual factors, and evaluating the prediction performance of multiple models in different time spans. To develop this framework, this study employs the wrapper-based feature selection method to extract valuable features, and then constructs multiple single classifiers, ensemble classifiers, and deep learning models in order to predict financial distress. The experiment results indicate that management and textual factors can supplement traditional financial factors in FDP, especially textual ones. This study also discovers that integrated factors collected 4 years prior to the predicted benchmark year enable a more accurate prediction, and the ensemble classifiers and deep learning models developed can achieve satisfactory FDP performance. This study makes a novel contribution as it expands the predictive factors of financial distress and provides new findings that can have important implications for providing early warning signals of financial risk.     

Switch Corridor方差互换定价的蒙特卡罗加速算法

主要研究为对冲跨市场波动率风险而开发的双标的资产的新型方差产品——Switch Corridor方差互换的定价问题。该产品由瑞士信贷(Credit Suisse)于2012年率先推出,逐渐成为了结构性产品市场上最受欢迎的新产品系列之一。使用控制变量Monte Carlo方法研究了双Heston随机波动率模型下Switch Corridor方差互换的定价问题,基于仿射结构理论,得到辅助标的过程下方差产品价格的解析解,构造了问题求解的高效控制变量。进一步地,考察了不同辅助过程波动率的选取对加速效果的影响。通过数值实验可以证明,基于动态波动率选取的辅助过程起到了很好的加速效果。该算法亦可方便地解决其他随机波动率模型下高维方差产品的计算问题。     

摄入高浓度氧气对短跑运动员运动表现及生理代谢的影响

为探讨反复性冲刺运动期间与运动结束后摄取常氧(21%)与高浓度氧气(95%)对短跑选手冲刺速度表现及生理代谢的影响,选取10位成都市竞技体校短跑选手为受试者,依照平衡次序方式进行前后共2次(间隔3天)、每次5×50 m冲刺跑测试,并于3 min的间歇休息期间及所有冲刺运动结束后的7 min内分别摄取常氧或高浓度氧气;同时在冲刺运动期间与运动结束后分别检测受试者跑速、乳酸、心率与血氧饱和度等参数.结果显示:①常氧与高氧条件下的前4次冲刺速度表现差异无统计学意义,但第5次冲刺的高氧速度表现显著优于常氧条件;②常氧与高氧条件下的冲刺期间,乳酸堆积的情形类似,其产生的乳酸变化曲线差异无统计学意义,但在冲刺结束后的第7分钟恢复期,高氧条件下获得较佳的乳酸排除效果;③高氧条件下的血氧饱和度显著高于常氧,而心率与血压在高氧、常氧种条件下差异无统计学意义.认为反复性冲刺运动间歇休息中摄取高浓度氧气,虽对冲刺期间乳酸堆积量无影响,但可获得较佳的运动速度表现,且有利于运动后恢复期间的乳酸排除.
