This paper demonstrates that short-term investors can benefit from the ability to process public, but slowly diffusing, supply chain information ahead of other market participants. In support of this argument, we find that short-term investors establish larger long and short positions in firms with high customer concentration. In addition, an increase in short-term institutional ownership is associated with higher stock returns in firms with high customer concentration, supporting the informational advantage hypothesis. Finally, the relationship between customer concentration and short-term institutional ownership strengthens in high information asymmetry environment. In contrast, we do not find preference towards high customer concentration firms among long-term institutions, who are less positioned to exploit short-lived informational benefits.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"81 ","pages":"Article 101581"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143157558","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, structural breaks in the realized beta are detected by Iterated Cumulative Sum of Square (ICSS) algorithm and asymmetric risk effects are captured by decomposing the realized beta further into various components following Ang et al. (2006) and Bollerslev et al. (2021). We propose a set of Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) model variants by incorporating these new predictors. To achieve model parsimony and to keep only the predictors with significant power, we employ Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (LASSO) method for variable selection. Our proposed LASSO<img>HAR model with estimators of structural breaks and asymmetric risk effects is found to yield more accurate out-of-sample beta forecasts than a variety of alternative models in terms of both statistical and economic criteria. In particular, our model successfully achieves the long-memory feature of realized betas in a tractable and parsimonious way. These empirical findings are robust across different data sampling frequencies, different estimation windows, different sub-samples, different quantiles of the beta distribution and different industrial sectors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":15704,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Empirical Finance","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 101575"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143167419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results suggest that commercial robo-advisors prioritize simplicity and client perceptions over complex, normative models. By integrating data from the NFCS survey, we further explore how demographic factors influence the likelihood of using robo-advisory services.

Particularly, BAB effectuates negative market timing and negative volatility timing amid volatile markets, promoting BAB crashes.
