Research on the volatility forecasting model of KOSPI index returns using AR(M)-GARCH(P,Q) model

In this study, we estimated the volatility of the KOSPI index returns and analyzed volatility trends. The data used in the study consisted of monthly observations from January 2005 to December 2022, and the KOSPI index raw data was transformed into log returns. The volatility estimation model used the AR(m)-GARCH(p,q) model, which combines the autoregressive error model and the GARCH model that explains the persistence of volatility at low orders. The goodness of fit of the model was confirmed using the Portmanteau Q-test and LM-test. Applying the autoregressive error model revealed significant autocorrelation in the log returns of the KOSPI index at lags 3 and 6. Residual analysis indicated that the residuals followed white noise, but the squared residuals exhibited heteroscedasticity. Therefore, after fitting the autoregressive error model, we applied the GARCH model and conducted residual analysis, finding both the residuals and squared residuals significant at a 5% significance level. The volatility forecasting results indicated a continuous increase in volatility. The findings of this study are expected to provide important implications for policymakers responsible for risk management in the Korean stock market.

Spirit at work: a panacea for ethical problems caused by marketing managers’ love of money

Purpose Limited research has investigated how spirit at work, functioning as a “good barrel,” fosters ethical decision-making (EDM) even in the presence of unethical managerial behavior (“bad apples”). Therefore, this study aims to investigate the spirit at work, a situational variable, as a moderating variable in the relationship between the love of money (LoM), an individual-level factor, and EDM. Design/methodology/approach A time-lagged survey of the members of the Marketing Association of Pakistan was conducted. The data were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling. Findings Adding to much of the existing research, which finds that LoM can influence ethical intention directly, this research finds that LoM influences ethical intention only through ethical judgment. Moreover, the spirit at work tempers the negative relationship between LoM and ethical judgment, thereby mitigating LoM’s detrimental effects not only on ethical judgment but also its downstream effects on ethical intention. Practical implications Organizations, by planting the seeds of spirit at work, can institutionalize good barrels, which can alleviate the negative effects of the marketing managers’ LoM, the root cause of unethical behavior. This way, this study establishes a business case for spirit at work. Originality/value The novelty of this study is the development and investigation of a holistic conceptual framework for EDM of marketing professionals that incorporates LoM as an antecedent, ethical judgment as an underlying mechanism, ethical intention as an outcome variable and spirit at work as a boundary condition.

New conditional probability-based collaborative filtering for the binary market basket data with the high dimensional cold-start problem

Recommendation systems are crucial for customer relationship management in marketing. There exist a lot of collaborative filtering techniques for recommender systems. The Pearson correlation-based approaches have been utilized for collaborative filtering using the binary market basket data with the high-dimensional cold-start problem. As an alternative of the Pearson correlation-based approaches, we propose a new conditional probability-based collaborative filtering based on Bayes theorem for the binary market basket data with the high-dimensional cold-start problem. The proposed conditional probability-based collaborative filtering outperforms the existing approaches based on the experimental results.

Parking Space Demand Study for Dondo Market, Tojo Una-Una District

The current parking space at Dondo Market is not effective because it still uses the road shoulder and is not well organised. When the market is busy, the parking area is full of two- and four-wheeled vehicles, spilling over onto the road, causing congestion and disturbing road users. Therefore, an analysis is needed to determine the ideal parking space requirements. The purpose of this study is to provide recommendations for parking space requirements and design its layout, as well as analyse traffic performance on Jl. Tj. Keramat before and after the parking facility. The results show that the market manager should provide potential land for off street parking. There is vacant land to the right and left of the market with a total area of 6,985 m2 which exceeds the current parking demand. If needed, there is still vacant land owned by the community around the market that can be developed as an additional parking area.

Understanding Mutual Funds Performance with mediation of Human Capital and GDP-Growth in Pakistan Mutual Funds: Demonstration of Structural Equation Model

Moreover, the demonstrated link between GDP-growth and mutual fund outcomes highlights the intricate web of economic factors influencing investment landscapes. Our findings thus reveal that the impact of the market factor and GDP growth on portfolio returns shows statistically significant estimates both mediation models. However, size-factor shows two portfolios significant while two portfolios insignificant results using both mediating variables. However, the value factor shows highly significant in both mediating models but reveal insignificant nexus with HC-Growth as mediating variable using only FF3FM. Moreover, momentum factor shows insignificant results for both mediating models. As Pakistan continues to develop its mutual fund market, policymakers and fund managers alike would do well to consider these interconnections in their decision-making processes.
