摘要:本文旨在研究不同情绪如何影响指数期货收益。采用滞后的基于文本的情绪(愤怒、喜悦、恐惧、乐观和悲观)指数对预测标普500指数期货收益的预测回归进行了检验,发现悲观和乐观情绪指数之间存在不对称的预测能力。研究表明,只有基于文本的愤怒指数能可靠地预测指数期货的样本内收益率,并在样本外优于无条件平均值。值得注意的是,在控制了其他情绪指数、投资者情绪指数和已知可预测期货市场的基本变量后,基于文本的愤怒指数的预测能力依然存在。以基于文本的愤怒指数为条件的资产配置可以产生巨大的经济效益。此外,愤怒指数还通过贴现率和现金流两个渠道影响股指期货收益率。

Introduction
引出话题
(1)情绪与资产定价、解释定价错误($\color{blue}{Brown\ and\ Cliff,\ 2004}$; $\color{blue}{Neal\ and\ Wheatley,\ 1998}$; $\color{blue}{Stambaugh\ et\ al.,\ 2012}$);
(2)投资者受情绪影响($\color{blue}{De\ Long\ et\ al.,\ 1990}$)【不同于传统理性预期假说,噪声交易者对非基本面信号采取行动,投资者情绪波动会导致市场价格偏离其基本面价值】;
(3)投资者情绪指数($\color{blue}{Manela\ and\ Moreira,\ 2017}$; $\color{blue}{Baker\ and\ Wurgler,\ 2006}$; $\color{blue}{Huang\ et\ al.,\ 2015}$),通过不同方式构建,并从理论和实证上阐明了投资者情绪如何影响股票市场;
(4)现有指数较为单一,其他情绪($\color{blue}{Bodenhausen\ et\ al.,\ 1994}$; $\color{blue}{Griffith\ et\ al.,\ 2020}$; $\color{blue}{Shen\ et\ al.,\ 2023}$)【愤怒与市场的均值-方差风险厌恶和未来市场收益有关;恐惧、喜悦、悲观和压力指数对股票市场和债券市场的预测能力】;
(5)$\color{blue}{Han\ et\ al.(2022)}$期货市场通过提供全市场信息并在价格和回报方面引领现货市场,在全球市场中发挥着重要作用。→→→投资者情绪波动会影响规避风险的投资者对现货市场(如股票市场)的偏好,也可以传达大量信息,拉低或提高投资者对期货市场的需求;
贡献
(1)将整体投资者情绪划分为多维度,揭示多维投资者情绪对期货市场的不对称可预测性;【anger、fear和gloom代表消极情绪,joy和optimism代表积极情绪。消极情绪显著可预测性,积极情绪的几乎无可预测性,即不对称的可预测性。($\color{blue}{Smales\ (2014)}$投资者在消极情绪下表现出更多非理性,需要更高风险溢价)】
(2)为数不多研究投资者情绪与股指期货收益率之间联系的研究者,并揭示了愤怒在期货市场中的重要性【第一篇实证论文证明愤怒指数传达了关于期货市场的有价值的信息,样本内和样本外均带来正向收益】;
(3)首次探讨愤怒指数预测能力的微观经济mechanism【利用VAR模型阐明愤怒指数通过贴现率和现金流channels影响指数期货收益】;
Data and measuring anger
数据:Datastream数据库的S&P 500 Index Futures日度简单收益(1998.01-2019.12),$R_{m,t}$表示月度收益;
TRMI 愤怒指数(TRMI数据库)从0到1,表示提及anger和disgust时的平均得分。构建愤怒指数:
图1为愤怒指数时序,阴影条为NBER衰退,在1.19%左右波动。
相同方法构建:joy指数,fear指数,optimism指数,gloom指数。
其他变量:economic variables(Amit Goyal’s website),implied volatility index (NVIX),investor sentiment index($\color{blue}{Baker\ and\ Wurgler,\ 2006}$; $\color{blue}{Huang\ et\ al.,\ 2015}$)
In-sample predictive performance
Baseline regression
正向($\color{blue}{Bodenhausen\ et\ al.,\ 1994}$)【愤怒投资者做出刻板的判断和考虑不周的决定,往往会对市场失去信心并反应过度,从而减少对股票的需求和持有量。而需求的下降将拉低同期价格,并导致指数期货的未来回报率更高。总体而言,愤怒的投资者需要溢价才能购买和持有指数期货,这意味着愤怒指数与随后的指数期货回报之间存在正相关联系】
