The use of AI in 10-K filings: An empirical analysis
With the rise on the use of AI in the corporate setting and the associated downside risk of bad disclose and overall credibility, we ask how much and which type of organizations rely on these tools when preparing their annual reports. Using a custom, publicly available, prediction model finetuned on FinBERT, we estimate the probability of AI-generated content and analyze the sentiment of three sec ...

Using ChatGPT for Creating Multi-Language Finance Related Sentiment Dictionaries
The finance literature is abundant with applications of text sentiment based on English dictionaries. However, a large proportion of financial documents are written in languages other than English. As such, there is a gap in literature for the development of sentiment dictionaries in other languages. Using a reproducible and low cost approach based on ChatGPT’s API, and with minimal interventions, ... (continued, check link for full abstract)

Can AI beat a naive portfolio? An experiment with anonymized data
Using anonymized data from the United States (U.S.) market, we evaluate the performance of Google’s main LLM (Large Language Model) Gemini 1.5 Flash in making investment decisions.

Portfolio management using realized covariances: Evidence from Brazil
It is often argued that intraday returns can be used to construct covariance estimates that are more accurate than those based on daily returns. However, it is still unclear whether high frequency data provide more precise covariance estimates in markets more contaminated from microstructure noise such as higher bid-ask spreads and lower liquidity. We address this question by investigating the ben ... (continued, check link for full abstract)

Can we predict the financial markets based on Google's search queries?
We study the case of mispricing in the odd lots equity market in Brazil. Contrary to expectation, odd lot investors are paying higher prices than round lot investors. The pricing difference between markets is affected by market returns, volatility and spreads. Our main hypothesis is that; once the assets traded in the odd lot market are more illiquid than their counterparts, the mispricing is driv ... (continued, check link for full abstract)

A Estratégia de pares no Mercado Acionário Brasileiro: O Impacto da Frequência de Dados

System-Wide liquidity risk in the UK’s large-value payment system: an empirical analysis
When settling their own liabilities and those of their clients, settlement banks rely on incoming payments to fund a part of their outgoing payments. We investigate their behaviour in CHAPS, the United Kingdom’s large-value payment system. Our estimates suggest that in normal times, banks increase their payment outflows when their liquidity is above target and immediately following the receipt of ...

Evaluation of pairs-trading strategy at the Brazilian financial market
Pairs-trading is a popular trading strategy that tries to take advantage of market inefficiencies in order to obtain profit. The idea is simple: find two stocks that move together and take long/short positions when they diverge abnormally, hoping that the prices will converge in the future. From the academic point of view of weak market efficiency theory, pairs-trading strategy should not present ... (continued, check link for full abstract)
