Investment beliefs

Ebook "EU enlargement and its macroeconomic effects in Eastern Europe: Currencies, prices, investment and competitiveness" offers a detailed study of the macroeconomic and structural adjustment burden. It envisages a real currency appreciation stemming from price convergence, capital inflows and weak structural change. The widespread belief that an Eastern enlargement of the Union would be overwhelmingly to the detriment of the present EU (budgetary costs, locational decisions, trade deficits) is rejected.

Despite heavy, long-term investments in data management, data problems at many organizations continue to grow. One reason is that data has traditionally been perceived as just one aspect of a technology project; it has not been treated as a corporate asset. Consequently, the belief was that traditional application and database planning efforts were sufficient to address ongoing data issues.

This article aims to discuss if there is an optimal age to learn a foreign language. By putting together both related theoretical and empirical research in the international literature, this article forwards the message that the general belief of ‘the earlier the better’ in foreign language learning is often misleading, and too early investment in children’s foreign language learning may become a big waste.

In spite of the acceptance, in principle, that the task of management is to maximise returns for shareholders, most companies and fund managers still have not adopted value-based management. Accounting earnings rather than cash flows still form the basis for evaluating performance and valuing businesses. The financial press and analysts’ reports consistently focus on short-term earnings, earnings per share and price earnings ratios.

While the above-mentioned, changes the business dynamic fundamentally, much of the excitement surrounding the WWW emerges from the belief that the WWW and the resulting marketspace possess a far greater potential for value creation. In marketspace the constraints of time, place, and geographic boundaries are completely eliminated. The entrepreneur now has the ability to provide information to customers on demand, while possessing the ability to transact business at all times with customers that may be geographically scattered.

I consider a continuous-time "two-trees" pure-exchange economy with in…nite horizon. There is a single consumption good which serves as the numeraire. There are two types of investors who are heterogeneous in endowments, beliefs, and enforcement technology. Heterogeneity in endowments and beliefs provide incentives for trade in the …nancial markets, which is driven by risk sharing motives and sentiment, respectively.

The model presented is also related to the literature in limited risk sharing and participation constraints (Kehoe and Levine (1993), Kocherlakota (1996) and Zhang (1997)). More recently, Alvarez and Jermann (2000, 2001) showed that these participation constraints can be modelled as endogenous portfolio constraints, which they denote solvency constraints. Besides extending this strand of the literature for the case of heterogeneous beliefs, I solve this problem in continuous time for the …rst time, thus generalizing it to the case of in…nite possible states.

The natural question is whether these heterogeneous expectations co-evolve into homogeneous rational-expectations beliefs, upholding the efficient-market theory, or whether richer individual and collective behavior emerges, upholding the traders’ viewpoint and explaining the empirical market phenomena mentioned above. We answer this not analytically—our model with its fully heterogeneous expectations it is too complicated to admit of analytical solutions—but computationally.

This paper introduces Shariah-compliant investment by reviewing its key terms and concepts, assessing its market size and potential, and outlining its opportunities and challenges for investors and financiers. Shariah-compliant investment represents a series of ethical financial transactions that are organised in accordance with Islamic law. The range of investment opportunities complying with Muslim religious beliefs has historically been fairly limited.

This section develops an econometric framework that allows an investor to combine in- formation in the data with prior beliefs about both pricing and skill. Nonbenchmark assets allow us to distinguish between pricing and skill, and they supply additional information about funds' expected returns. In addition, nonbenchmark assets help account for common variation in funds' returns, making the investment problem feasible using a large universe of funds.

This study, given its Bayesian approach, is related to the recent article by Baks, Metrick, and Wachter (2001), who estimate funds' alphas using informative prior beliefs about alpha. They investigate the degree to which informative priors can preclude an investor from infer- ring that at least one actively managed fund has a positive alpha. This inference relates to an investment problem of a mutual fund investor who can also earn the hypothetical costless returns on the benchmark indexes.

Prior beliefs about pricing models can be useful to someone investing in mutual funds. A pricing model implies that a combination of the model's benchmark assets provides the highest Sharpe ratio within a passive universe. That implication is useful to an investor seeking a high Sharpe ratio, even if the investor has less than complete con¯dence in the model's pricing accuracy and cannot invest directly in the benchmarks. Prior beliefs about managerial skill are also important in the investment decision.

We also demonstrate that optimal portfolios of mutual funds are in°uenced substantially by prior beliefs about both managerial skill and pricing models. For example, consider two investors who both rule out managerial skill but believe strongly in di®erent models: one believes in the CAPM while the other embraces a four-factor model. If either investor is forced to hold the portfolio chosen by the other, the resulting ex ante loss is about 60 basis points per month in certainty equivalent return.

Evaluating mutual fund performance is a topic of long-standing interest in the academic literature, but few if any studies have addressed the selection of an optimal portfolio of funds. Instead of using the historical data to estimate performance measures or produce fund rank- ings, this study uses the data to explore the mutual-fund investment decision.

Our first investor, the dogmatist, has extreme prior beliefs about the potential for manager skill. The dogmatist rules out any potential for skill, either fixed or time varying, for any fund manager. That is, the dogmatist’s view is that ai0 is fixed at
1 12ðexpense þ 0:01  turnoverÞ and that ai1 is fixed at zero, where expense and turnover are the fund’s reported annual expense ratio and turnover, and where we assume a round-trip total trade cost of 1% (this prior specification is similar to Pastor and Stambaugh (2002a,b)).
