The Impacts of Registration Regime Implementation on IPO Pricing Efficiency

no code implementations18 Jul 2023 Qi Deng, Linhong Zheng, Jiaqi Peng, Xu Li, Zhong-guo Zhou, Monica Hussein, Dingyi Chen, Mick Swartz

We find that the most efficient regulation regime in Chinese IPO pricing has four characteristics: 1) registration system, 2) no hard return caps nor trading curbs that restrict the initial return; 3) more specific listing rules for issuers, and 4) more stringent participation requirements for investors.

Liquidity Premium, Liquidity-Adjusted Return and Volatility, and Extreme Liquidity

no code implementations27 Jun 2023 Qi Deng, Zhong-guo Zhou

We establish innovative liquidity premium measures, and construct liquidity-adjusted return and volatility to model assets with extreme liquidity, represented by a portfolio of selected crypto assets, and upon which we develop a set of liquidity-adjusted ARMA-GARCH/EGARCH models.

First-order methods for Stochastic Variational Inequality problems with Function Constraints

no code implementations10 Apr 2023 Digvijay Boob, Qi Deng

Second, to obtain the optimal operator complexity for smooth deterministic problems, we present a novel single-loop Adaptive Lagrangian Extrapolation~(\texttt{AdLagEx}) method that can adaptively search for and explicitly bound the Lagrange multipliers.

Stochastic Dimension-reduced Second-order Methods for Policy Optimization

no code implementations28 Jan 2023 Jinsong Liu, Chenghan Xie, Qi Deng, Dongdong Ge, Yinyu Ye

In this paper, we propose several new stochastic second-order algorithms for policy optimization that only require gradient and Hessian-vector product in each iteration, making them computationally efficient and comparable to policy gradient methods.

Efficient First-order Methods for Convex Optimization with Strongly Convex Function Constraints

no code implementations21 Dec 2022 Zhenwei Lin, Qi Deng

Before our work, the best complexity bound was $\mathcal{O}(1/{\varepsilon})$, and it remains unclear how to improve this result by leveraging the strong convexity assumption.

The Impact of Regulation Regime Changes on ChiNext IPOs: Effects of 2013 and 2020 Reforms on Pricing and Overreaction

no code implementations19 Nov 2022 Qi Deng, Lunge Dai, Zixin Yang, Zhong-guo Zhou, Monica Hussein, Dingyi Chen, Mick Swartz

Based on our findings, we argue that the differences among the levels and determinants of initial return, monthly return (intrinsic value) and intramonth return (overreaction) in different time periods can be largely explained by regulation regime changes along two dimensions: 1) approval vs. registration and 2) listing day trading curbs and return limits.

Minibatch and Momentum Model-based Methods for Stochastic Weakly Convex Optimization

no code implementations NeurIPS 2021 Qi Deng, Wenzhi Gao

Second, motivated by the success of momentum stochastic gradient descent, we propose a new stochastic extrapolated model-based method, greatly extending the classic Polyak momentum technique to a wider class of stochastic algorithms for weakly convex optimization.

We also establish new convergence complexities to achieve an approximate KKT solution when the objective can be smooth/nonsmooth, deterministic/stochastic and convex/nonconvex with complexity that is on a par with gradient descent for unconstrained optimization problems in respective cases.

The AIBC implements a two-consensus scheme to enforce upper-layer economic policies and achieve fundamental layer performance and robustness: the DPoEV incentive consensus on the application and resource layers, and the DABFT distributed consensus on the fundamental layer.

More specifically, we show that diagonal scaling, initially designed to improve vanilla stochastic gradient, can be incorporated into accelerated stochastic gradient descent to achieve the optimal rate of convergence for smooth stochastic optimization.
