This paper studies the relation of information cost, retail investor sentiment and asset pricing. Our motivation to study this model is to learn why retail investors could move asset price away from fundamental values. In the model, the institutional investors are pessimistic and the retail investors are optimistic, the ratio of the expected utility of informed and rational but uninformed institutional investors increases first and then decreases as the cost of information increases. In addition, a large number of retail investors promoted substantial increases in stock prices. This model provides part of the explanation for the unusually high stock price of Game Stop in early 2021 that retail investors cliqued and confronted institutional investors.

A relatively small number of for-profit asset managers-financial intermediaries that invest capital on behalf of other investors-have emerged in recent decades to become some of the most influential commercial actors in the global political economy. Despite their important role in society, asset managers have received little attention from a public health perspective. In this article, we aimed to propose a conceptual framework of potential pathways and mechanisms through which asset managers may influence health and equity.

This study explores whether investors' willingness to invest returns (WTIR) differs across environmental and sustainability bonds (ESBs) with varying scopes. Employing the double-bound dichotomous choice contingent valuation method (DBDC-CVM), the research surveyed Japanese retail investors to estimate their average levels of WTIR for green, sustainability, and blue bonds, respectively. The study discovered that investors are willing to invest in bonds with a stronger environmental focus such as green and blue bonds at a lower return rate, in contrast to sustainability bonds that address broader social issues.

How does stock market react to environmental penalty announcements?

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

June 2024

School of Finance, Capital University of Economics and Business, Zhangjialukou 121, Fengtai Distinct, Beijing, 100070, China.

Article Synopsis
  • The announcement of environmental penalties (EPA) by listed companies in China generally leads to negative short-term stock returns, but this negative impact isn’t long-lasting.
  • Heavily polluting companies and non-state-owned enterprises face greater negative market reactions upon disclosing environmental penalties, while having a good environmental reputation can help lessen these impacts.
  • Retail investors are likely to sell stocks after an EPA disclosure, especially with increased media coverage, whereas institutional investors may buy more shares in companies with strong ESG scores or in areas with low green finance levels.

Introduction: The cryptocurrency market is captivating the attention of both retail and institutional investors. While this highly volatile market offers investors substantial profit opportunities, it also entails risks due to its sensitivity to speculative news and the erratic behavior of major investors, both of which can provoke unexpected price fluctuations.

Methods: In this study, we contend that extreme and sudden price changes and atypical patterns might compromise the performance of technical signals utilized as the basis for feature extraction in a machine learning-based trading system by either augmenting or diminishing the model's generalization capability.
