Working Papers

Nominal Prices, Retail Investor Participation and Return Momentum

(with Jun Du, Dashan Huang, Yu-Jane Liu, Avanidhar Subrahmanyam, and Huacheng Zhang)
We explore the link between momentum and investing clientele via an identification strategy for retail participation. We find that retail trades contribute to short-term reversals, and attenuate momentum arising from institutional underreaction to long-lived information. 

 Financial Inattention, Unrealized Profit, and Realization Preference

(with Yu-Jane Liu and Yuzheng Liu)
We find consistent evidence for realization preference when condition on investor-days when investor pay attention to their portfolios.

Demand-Based Opposing Styles as Constellations: A Machine Learning Approach 

(with Yu-Jane Liu)

(with Xi Dong and Jinfei Sheng )
