讲座摘要:

Financial technologies (FinTech) are recasting the relationships between users and firms. Today, investors are increasingly adopting digital platforms to acquire and process investment-related information, participate in online discussions, and interact with other users. Meanwhile, users also leave their "digital footprints" which convey clues in reflecting their correlated demands of different firms and assets. Particularly, we are interested in users’ online co-searches of related firms and assets. Upon this, we construct networks to reflect users' co-attention relationships among assets and firms. Our objective is to show whether the structural characteristics and the information content in networks are of economic values and impact, and how we can use them for network-based inference. In line with the design science paradigm, we will introduce two designed artifacts in the context of co-attention networks. First, we develop a composite metric to reflect the overall information flow associated with an individual node in a network. We evaluate the effectiveness of this metric by applying it to predict stock returns. The results indicate that our metric has better predictive performance than alternative measures. In the second study, we design a novel market segmentation approach from the demand side by applying network embedding and clustering techniques. Our approach can yield economically meaningful segments which are different from traditional industries.
