Following the work of Okuyama, Takayasu and Takayasu [Okuyama, Takayasu and Takayasu 1999] we analyze huge databases of Japanese companies' financial figures and confirm that the Zipf's law, a power law distribution with the exponent -1, has been maintained over 30 years in the income distribution of Japanese companies…

Employing profits data of Japanese companies in 2002 and 2003, we confirm that Pareto's law and the Pareto index are derived from the law of detailed balance and Gibrat's law. The last two laws are observed beyond the region where Pareto's law holds. By classifying companies into job categories, we find that companies …

EDINET-Bench evaluates LLMs on complex financial tasks using Japanese financial statements.

problem Challenges in evaluating LLMs on financial tasks due to specialized expertise and scarce benchmarks.
method Developed EDINET-Bench, an open-source Japanese financial benchmark for LLMs on tasks like fraud detection and earnings forecasting.
result State-of-the-art LLMs perform only marginally better than logistic regression in financial tasks, highlighting the need for more realistic benchmarks.

Study evaluates if LLMs have company-specific biases in financial sentiment analysis.

problem Evaluating if large language models exhibit company-specific biases in financial sentiment analysis.
method Comparing sentiment scores with and without company names, constructing economic models, and empirical analysis.
result LLMs show company-specific biases in sentiment analysis, impacting investor behavior and stock prices.

Employing profits data of Japanese companies in 2002 and 2003, we identify the non-Gibrat's law which holds in the middle profits region. From the law of detailed balance in all regions, Gibrat's law in the high region and the non-Gibrat's law in the middle region, we kinematically derive the profits distribution funct…

In this paper we examine inefficiencies and information disparity in the Japanese stock market. By carefully analysing information publicly available on the internet, an `outsider' to conventional statistical arbitrage strategies--which are based on market microstructure, company releases, or analyst reports--can never…

New method quantifies systemic risk of firms in supply networks.

problem Quantifying economic systemic risk of firms from supply networks.
method Unique value-added tax dataset; novel approach for computing ESR.
result A tiny fraction of companies have high systemic risk impacting 23% of national production.

Study builds a Japanese financial-specific LLM through continual pre-training.

problem Lack of domain-specific Japanese financial LLMs.
method Continual pre-training on Japanese financial-focused datasets using a base Japanese LLM.
result Tuned model outperforms original model on Japanese financial benchmarks.

Study on time-varying APT validity in Japanese stock market.

problem Validity of Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) in Japanese stock market over time.
method Rolling window method applied to Fama and MacBeth's two-step regression and Kamstra and Shi's generalized GRS test.
result APT validity is unstable over time in Japanese stock market, influenced by monetary policy and business cycle.

This study evaluates prewar Japanese financial market efficiency using time-varying models.

problem Determining when prewar Japanese financial market lost its price formation function.
method Time-varying parameter model, generalized least squares-based time-varying vector autoregressive model.
result The prewar Japanese financial market lost its price formation function in 1932.

We investigated the network structures of the Japanese stock market through the minimum spanning tree. We defined grouping coefficient to test the validity of conventional grouping by industrial categories, and found a decreasing in trend for the coefficient. This phenomenon supports the increasing external influences …

Study examines asymmetry impacts on Japanese stock market volatility modeling and forecasting.

problem Understanding asymmetry's impact on modeling and forecasting realized volatility in Japanese stock markets.
method Employed heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) models with three types of asymmetry: positive and negative realized semivariance, asymmetric jumps, and leverage effects.
result Leverage effects significantly influence realized volatility modeling and forecast performance in Japanese stock markets.

From classifying handwritten digits to generating strings of text, the datasets which have received long-time focus from the machine learning community vary greatly in their subject matter. This has motivated a renewed interest in building datasets which are socially and culturally relevant, so that algorithmic researc…

Much of machine learning research focuses on producing models which perform well on benchmark tasks, in turn improving our understanding of the challenges associated with those tasks. From the perspective of ML researchers, the content of the task itself is largely irrelevant, and thus there have increasingly been call…

This paper examines the integration process of the Japanese major rice markets (Tokyo and Osaka) from 1881 to 1932. Using a non-Bayesian time-varying vector error correction model, we argue that the process strongly depended on the government's policy on the network system of the telegram and telephone; rice traders wi…

Study examines market reactions and spillovers in Japanese bank mergers using multiple methods.

problem Understanding valuation and spillover effects of bank mergers in the Japanese banking sector.
method Combines event study, VAR models, IRFs, and PSM to analyze two M&A events.
result Significant positive market reaction and prolonged positive spillovers detected.

The persistence phenomenon is studied in the Japanese financial market by using a novel mapping of the time evolution of the values of shares quoted on the Nikkei Index onto Ising spins. The method is applied to historical end of day data from the Japanese stock market during 2002. By studying the time dependence of th…

We detect the backbone of the weighted bipartite network of the Japanese credit market relationships. The backbone is detected by adapting a general method used in the investigation of weighted networks. With this approach we detect a backbone that is statistically validated against a null hypothesis of uniform diversi…

We propose a long term portfolio management method which takes into account a liability. Our approach is based on the LQG (Linear, Quadratic cost, Gaussian) control problem framework and then the optimal portfolio strategy hedges the liability by directly tracking a benchmark process which represents the liability. Two…
