Research & development premium in the Indian equity market: An empirical study
subject: Asset pricing; Investment; Portfolio management; Profitability; R&D premium; Size; Value premium
description: This article aims to investigate the research and development (R&D) premium and explore the three most prominent asset pricing models: capital asset pricing and the three-and five-factor models (Fama & French, 1993; 2015). The results show that India's annualized average R&D premium is significantly higher than the existing value, market, profitability, size and investment premiums, implying that the R&D premium is a more significant concern for Indian investors, particularly for high R&D firms. It was also observed that by applying the GRS test and the Fama and MacBeth (1973) two-pass procedure, the R&D risk factor augmented the CAPM, FF3F and FF5F models outperforming the existing CAPM, FF3F and FF5F models, respectively. We can also report that R&D is, unquestionably, a priced ingredient and a critical factor in developing pricing models for developing markets such as India. The paper's conclusions add to the current literature in R&D and asset pricing and assist investment professionals in developing better investment and trading strategies. 2021 AESS Publications.

Financial Distress and Value Premium using Altman Revised Z-score Model
subject: Altman Z-score; Asset Pricing; Financial Distress; Portfolio Management; Value Premium
description: In the stock market, investors and value managers desire to be safe. Estimating equity returns and evaluating potential financial distress risk are essential for investment and trading decisions. The link between distress risk and stock return is controversial, and current literature yields contradicting results. A variety of models may be used to evaluate distress risk-return trade-offs. This paper employs a revised Altman Z-score to examine financial distress and value premiums. Using univariate and multivariate techniques, we examine firm- and industry-level portfolio returns, encompassing all Indian companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Results confirm the existence of the distress factor effect found in industry and firm-level portfolios. It shows that the distress risk factor significantly determines stock returns as an independent systematic risk factor. This result is consistently found in most industries. The study demonstrates the existence of a value premium in both distressed and safe zones. The study also used a multivariate GRS test and the Fama-Macbeth procedure to validate the reliability of the distress factor and pricing models. Results confirm that Altman model-based distress factor augmented models improve the performance of existing pricing models with higher reliability and accuracy. 2023 MDI.

A closer look at industry-associated value premium: evidence from India
subject: CAPM; Fama-French three-factor model; financial market; firm size; India; portfolio management; regulated industry groups; risk measures; stock returns; value effect; value premium
description: This paper examines whether the academic literature-promised value premium has any industry association in the Indian equity market and the relationship between stock returns, value, and size within and across industries. We examine all listed firms trading at BSE India between 1999-2020, using CAPM and Fama-French three-factor models on each firm-levels and industry-level portfolio. The positive and significant value effect was found to exist in 17 out of 21 industry groups. Both industry and firm-level value effects are identified; however, the firm-level effect seems more prominent. Furthermore, the value effect is most substantial in small-cap value stocks of value- and growth-oriented industries, large-cap value stocks of value-oriented industry groups, then small-cap growth stocks of value- and growth-oriented industries and large-cap growth stocks of value- and growth-oriented industries. We also show evidence confirming the claim that value premium results from investors challenging higher returns from firms and industries operating in higher risk and distressing constraints.

Size, Value Effects and the Explanatory Power of Pricing Models: Evidence from BSE listed Indian Industries
subject: Asset Pricing; Cross-sectional Models; India; Portfolio Management; Stock Market; Time-series Models
description: The firm size and value anomalies are the global-level counterpart for explaining the cross-sectional variations of equity returns. This paper aims to examine the size, value effects and explanatory power of three well-known pricing models - CAPM, three-and five-factor- across and within 15 Indian industries. The study considers all firms listed on Indian largest stock exchange, BSE (Bombay stock exchange), between 1999-2021 by developing portfolios using firm size/value, size/investment and size/profitability risk characteristics. The study employs both univariate and multivariate methods, including time series, GRS statistics, and cross-sectional models within and across industries portfolios. Results indicated that size and value effects exist in almost all industries, presenting that size and value anomalies are the most prominent determinants for industry-level equity returns. In addition, the profitability and investment effects were also investigated; however, the results are mixed from industry to industry. In the case of the explanatory power of pricing models, the five-factor performs much better within and across industry portfolios than other pricing models; however, the models' effectiveness varies by industry. We also reported that investors who seek to allocate funds within and across industries tend to be expected reasonably stable returns and conceivably predictable; the findings of this study contribute to the existing literature on asset pricing and portfolio management in emerging markets.

Is Industry-Specific Value Premium Declining? Evidence from India
subject: Asset Pricing; Firm Size; January Effect; Portfolio Management; Regulated Industries; Stock Returns; Value Premium
description: This article examines whether the literature promised value effect exists and the changing nature of value premium at the industry level. It also determines the value premiums strength by controlling the January effect within and across the regulated industry groups. This is done by utilizing the two most prominent pricing models: FamaFrench three- and five-factor, considering all listed firms trading at BSE India between 1999 and 2020. The results show that a significant value effect exists in 15 of the 17 regulated industry groups over 21.5 years, while sub-period analysis revealed variation in the value effect at industry-based portfolio returns. We developed quintile and multivariate portfolios within and across the industries. Results show that the industry-specific value premium has been relatively low in the current decade due to decreasing industry portfolio returns and increasing P/B ratios within industry groups. The study also used the GRS test to explore the explanatory power of models. Results indicated that the explanatory power of models has declined in post-crisis periods. While controlling the January effect, the value premium has slightly diminished within and across the industry groups in the recent decade. We also observed that investors who seek to allocate assets within and across industries are likely to have potentially predictable and pretty stable returns. While other countries have found industry-specific value premiums, no such study has been conducted in India. As a first attempt, these findings are relevant for investors and academia. 2022 Management Development Institute.

Comparing keyframe extraction for video summarization in CPU and GPU
subject: background subtraction; CUDA; DWT; GPU; Key Frames; NVidia; Video Processing; Video Summarization; wavelet
description: Most of the information is captured through multimedia techniques. Videos contain many frames which might be redundant. Since processing of many frames is involved, these redundant frames must be removed for better and efficient results. Summarizing these frames by removing similar frames can speed up processing. In this paper video summarization is achieved by generating key frames. Key frames are generated using discrete wavelet transforms (DWT) technique and we subtract background from the keyframes to get region of interest. A video of 920&Times;720 resolution and length 120 second was used as test video and the run-time was 111 second in CPU and 60 second in GPU. The speed up is nearly 100%. A HD video which took 23 minutes in serial implementation to extract foreground object from key frames generated was reduced to 7 minutes using GPU acceleration. 2015 IEEE.

Threat Intelligence Model to Secure IoT Based Body Area Network and Prosthetic Sensors
description: This research work proposes a threat intelligence model for Internet-of-Things (IoT) sensors-based Body Area Network (BAN). It is focused primarily to be used in healthcare monitoring of vital parameters of critically ill patients and on the contrary performance measurement system for healthy sportspersons. The end-point control based applications are growing enormously with the advent of IoT based sensors and actuators being used in intelligent real-time systems. At the same time, it is expected to keep the ecosystem safe for the user while delivering the constant updates. However, the process for the monitoring health and wellness parameters of a patient, or measuring endurance and performance of a sportsperson, it remains vulnerable without a secure environment. Using the proposed model, the entire healthcare ecosystem may be designed for the personalized medication of a patient who are using sophisticated life-saving device like prosthetic heart valve or an elderly person dependent on medical-aided ambulatory devices or a sportsperson on performance measurement system.

MIST-based Tuning of Cyber-Physical Systems Towards Holistic Healthcare Informatics
subject: Body Area Network; Cyber-Physical Systems; Healthcare Informatics; MIST; Recommender Systems
description: The entire world seems shaken and disrupted since the strike of Covid-19 ever since its outbreak towards the end of 2019 and its continued perils. During this unprecedented event of the century, people's health emerged as the most vulnerable and affected area either directly or indirectly by the coronavirus and its new variants. Disrupting almost all spheres of life, patients' health and care systems required timely support from healthcare professionals to provide the needed medical advice on one hand and a prescriptive mechanism to avoid another impending casualty. Similarly, a proactive approach became desirable from the health ministry, pharmaceutical firms, medical insurance companies, and other stakeholders in fine-tuning their offerings to the patients as per the recommender systems. The devices to measure the vitals of a person, became more efficient and ergonomically sound with the advent of wearable gadgets. These devices monitored the physical activities of the user and transferred the vital signals wirelessly to any base computing device and cloud-based repositories. This mechanism, however, was reported to fail in addressing the issues with non-communicating or stand-alone devices that were used by the masses in developing countries including India. If the real-time data could be used from these devices, the healthcare diagnosis and analysis of a patient's medical condition could have taken a progressive dimension with the addition of missing data points. This research thus aims to fill the information gap and proposes a transforming approach towards existing non-communicating devices used to measure the vitals like blood pressure, oxygen level, blood sugar, etc. The proposed MIST-based Cyber-Physical System shall create extensive scalability towards the retrieval of the vital details from the devices which were otherwise captured offline previously and were unused at multiple critical points of healthcare processes. 2022 IEEE.

Co- Integration and Causality between Macroeconomics Variables and Bitcoin
description: The fintech sector has been booming for the past decade, especially with the unprecedented expansion in cryptocurrency innovation. Many countries and their central banks are working to accommodate cryptocurrency in a regulated format into their financial system anywise. This research paper investigates the long-run and short-run relationship between Bitcoin (INR) and the macroeconomic variables of the Indian economy, such as two major stock indices (NSE and BSE), money supply M1, foreign exchange rate (INR/US dollar), and indicators of inflation rate (CPI and WPI). For this purpose, monthly data of the variables from October 2014 to December 2020 are considered. The Johansen co-integration approach depicts the long-run association between Bitcoin and the economic variables, whilst VECM and the Wald coefficient reveal no short-run causality between the variables. The Granger Causality test shows a one-way causal relationship of NSE, BSE and WPI to Bitcoin. Hence, it concluded that stock indices and inflation have a cogent effect and exert on bitcoin prices. The findings will be helpful for policy-makers and investors alike, for an outlook to strategize and explore this everchanging digital instrument. 2024 CRC Press.

Reaction of Indian Stock Market to Outbreak of COVID-19: An Empirical Analysis of Extreme Inter-day Movements
subject: COVID-19; Event Study; Inter-day Movement; Stock Market
description: The contagious COVID-19 pandemic has been considered a massive global crisis since World War II and has disturbed business and economic activities across the globe. The current study examined the reaction of the stock markets to the outbreak of COVID-19, considering the extreme inter-day movements in the Indian stock market. The extreme inter-day movements in S&P CNX Nifty-50 have been identified during the study period from January 2020 to December 2021 and further classified into decline and gain events based on positive and negative announcements related to COVID-19. The study utilized an event study approach and panel regression for empirical investigation. The results of the event study analysis illustrate that the significant abnormal loss ranges from 12.86% to 2.47% for the major decline events and significant abnormal return from 8.43% to 3.23% for the gain events. The regression analysis results showed that real return and Central Bank Policy rate have a considerable impact on the abnormal returns during COVID-19. The studys findings are helpful to policy implications that identified the need to focus on financial education and strengthen the health and finance-related policies to deal with such pandemics in the future. 2023 MDI.

Consortium on Vulnerability to Externalizing Disorders and Addictions (cVEDA): A developmental cohort study protocol
subject: Cohort; Environmental exposures; Externalizing disorders; Longitudinal study; Study protocol; Vulnerabilities
description: Background: Low and middle-income countries like India with a large youth population experience a different environment from that of high-income countries. The Consortium on Vulnerability to Externalizing Disorders and Addictions (cVEDA), based in India, aims to examine environmental influences on genomic variations, neurodevelopmental trajectories and vulnerability to psychopathology, with a focus on externalizing disorders. Methods: cVEDA is a longitudinal cohort study, with planned missingness design for yearly follow-up. Participants have been recruited from multi-site tertiary care mental health settings, local communities, schools and colleges. 10,000 individuals between 6 and 23 years of age, of all genders, representing five geographically, ethnically, and socio-culturally distinct regions in India, and exposures to variations in early life adversity (psychosocial, nutritional, toxic exposures, slum-habitats, socio-political conflicts, urban/rural living, mental illness in the family) have been assessed using age-appropriate instruments to capture socio-demographic information, temperament, environmental exposures, parenting, psychiatric morbidity, and neuropsychological functioning. Blood/saliva and urine samples have been collected for genetic, epigenetic and toxicological (heavy metals, volatile organic compounds) studies. Structural (T1, T2, DTI) and functional (resting state fMRI) MRI brain scans have been performed on approximately 15% of the individuals. All data and biological samples are maintained in a databank and biobank, respectively. Discussion: The cVEDA has established the largest neurodevelopmental database in India, comparable to global datasets, with detailed environmental characterization. This should permit identification of environmental and genetic vulnerabilities to psychopathology within a developmental framework. Neuroimaging and neuropsychological data from this study are already yielding insights on brain growth and maturation pat…

Recommendation System using Clustering and Comparing Clustering and Topic Modelling Techniques
subject: clusters; content-filtering; filtering; Recommendation systems; topic modelling
description: In this paper, we have used a technique called clustering to recommend the products to the customer and also tried to compare clustering and Topic modelling to find out which technique is better for our purpose. From all the papers that have been reviewed, we observed that the greater part of the proposal approaches applied content-based filtering (55%). Collaborative-based filtering was applied by just 18% of the looked into approaches, and hybrid based by 16%. Other suggestion ideas included generalizing, thing driven proposals, and crossover suggestions. The content-based filtering approaches overwhelmingly utilized papers that the clients had made, marked, examined, or downloaded [1]. To begin with, it stays muddled which suggestion ideas and approaches are the most encouraging. For instance, analysts demonstrated different results on the presentation of content based and collaborative filtering. A portion of the time content-based filtering performed better contrasted with collaborative filtering sand a portion of the time it performed all the more regrettable. 2022 IEEE.

Growth trajectories for executive and social cognitive abilities in an Indian population sample: Impact of demographic and psychosocial determinants
subject: Cognitive development; Emotion recognition; Executive functions; Growth trajectory; Quantile regression; Social cognition
description: Cognitive abilities are markers of brain development and psychopathology. Abilities, across executive, and social domains need better characterization over development, including factors that influence developmental change. This study is based on the cVEDA [Consortium on Vulnerability to Externalizing Disorders and Addictions] study, an Indian population based developmental cohort. Verbal working memory, visuo-spatial working memory, response inhibition, set-shifting, and social cognition (faux pas recognition and emotion recognition) were cross-sectionally assessed in > 8000 individuals over the ages 623 years. There was adequate representation across sex, urban-rural background, psychosocial risk (psychopathology, childhood adversity and wealth index, i.e. socio-economic status). Quantile regression was used to model developmental change. Age-based trajectories were generated, along with examination of the impact of determinants (sex, childhood adversity, and wealth index). Development in both executive and social cognitive abilities continued into adulthood. Maturation and stabilization occurred in increasing order of complexity, from working memory to inhibitory control to cognitive flexibility. Age related change was more pronounced for low quantiles in response inhibition (??4 versus =2 for higher quantiles), but for higher quantiles in set-shifting (? > ?1 versus ?0.25 for lower quantiles). Wealth index had the largest influence on developmental change across cognitive abilities. Sex differences were prominent in response inhibition, set-shifting and emotion recognition. Childhood adversity had a negative influence on cognitive development. These findings add to the limited literature on patterns and determinants of cognitive development. They have implications for understanding developmental vulnerabilities in young persons, and the need for providing conducive socio-economic environments. 2023 Elsevier B.V.

AI and Machine Learning Applications in Predicting Energy Market Prices and Trends
subject: AI; energy prices; forecasting; machine learning
description: The worldwide energy market is intricate and unstable, shaped by several aspects including geopolitical occurrences, supply-demand variations, and regulatory modifications. Precisely forecasting energy prices and trends is essential for stakeholders, such as energy producers, dealers, and policymakers. This study investigates the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to improve energy price forecasting models. Conventional forecasting methods frequently fail to account for the dynamic and non-linear characteristics of energy markets; however, AI/ML techniques, including neural networks, decision trees, and reinforcement learning, provide enhanced prediction precision. By including external variables such as meteorological conditions and economic metrics, AI models can produce more accurate and useful insights. Case studies illustrate the effective implementation of AI in energy markets, showcasing its capacity to surpass traditional methods. This article addresses difficulties such as data quality and computing expenses while delineating potential developments in AI-driven energy market forecasts. The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.

Breeding distrust during artificial intelligence (AI) era: howtechnological advancements, jobinsecurity and job stress fuel organizational cynicism?
subject: Job insecurity; Job involvement; Job stress; Layoff; Organizational cynicism; Psychological capital; Technological advancements
description: Purpose: This study examines how technological advancements and psychological capital contribute to job stress. Furthermore, the paper examines how job insecurity, job stress and job involvement influence the cynicism of recently laid-off employees. Despite various research studies, there is a lack of understanding of employees views on their work future and its probable influence on their job behaviors in this era of technology. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative method was used to collect a sample of 403 recently laid-off employees. The research tool of this study was a questionnaire, and the sampling technique was stratified random sampling. IBM SPSS and AMOS software were utilized to ensure the trustworthiness and accuracy of constructs via factor analysis. The proposed hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling. Findings: The analysis showed that technological advancements, specifically in job-related stress, job involvement and job insecurity, significantly affect organizational cynicism. Job involvement is negatively associated with employees cynicism. Practical implications: The current study adds to the comprehension of shifts in the perceived behavior of employees toward their organizations due to factors like the adoption of new technology in the organization, job stress, job insecurity and job involvement. Accordingly, there will be a need to form a favorable working atmosphere so that employees can perform their jobs with positive psychology and without any insecurity or stress. Originality/value: The study is thought to contribute to the literature in terms of measuring organizational cynicism while layoffs continue due to AI advancements. 2024, Emerald Publishing Limited.
