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)

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.

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.
