Entropy as a Measure of Predictability in Financial Time Series
Nahodil, Vladimír ; Krištoufek, Ladislav (advisor) ; Wang, Yao (referee)
This work studies stock markets efficiency and predictability using the information-theoretic concepts of approximate entropy (ApEn) and sample entropy (SampEn) and compares them to the estimates of the Hurst exponent. This is assessed together with the property of distinguishing between developing and developed markets. Moreover, an investment strategy based on the value of the sample entropy is tested. ApEn shows very weak relationship with other measures and performs poorly as a measure of efficiency. SampEn and the Hurst exponent clearly confirm lower overall efficiency of developing markets. The sample entropy also forms quite strong downward linear relationship with hit-rates of forecasting models. ARMA shows highest hit-rates in periods with SampEn values around 1.6 - 1.7. This could be considered as an investment strategy with lower risk; however, also as one with potentially lower accumulated returns due to smaller investing windows.
Comparison of basic characteristics (the rate of return, the risks, the degree of market efficiency) of stock markets in the USA and Southeast Asia.
TRANOVÁ, Trang Jana
The aim of this thesis is to compare the stock markets in the USA and in South East Asia (Singapore) used the analysis of the rate of return on investments and the risk in chosen sectors of both countries. The next aim is testing the efficiency of these stock markets and determining the degree of this effectiveness and then finding out the optimal strategy to evaluate the invested money.
Building savings
Konupková, Lenka ; Blahová, Naděžda (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the macroeconomic view of the building savings. Readers should be made familiar with the basic principles of operation and a part of the history of this product. The core of the work consists of two parts. The first one describes the key changes in legislation and their impact on the efficiency of building society and the state budget. The second one is focused on the development of the basic indicators of building savings in the Czech Republic, especially in relation to changing economic and legislative conditions. It also includes a brief forecast of future development of building savings and other possible legislative changes and their consequences, not only in this specific segment.
