        The modelling of strategies for buying and selling in Stock Market Investment have been the object of numerous advances and uses in economic studies, both theoretically and empirically. One of the popular models in economic studies is applying the Semi-parametric Markov Switching models for forecasting the time series observations based on stock prices. The Semi-parametric Markov Switching models for these models are a class of popular methods that have been used extensively by researchers to increase the accuracy of fitting processes. The main part of these models is based on kernel and core functions. Despite of existence of many kernel and core functions that are capable in applications for forecasting the stock prices, there is a widely use of Gaussian kernel and exponential core function in these models. But there is a question if other types of kernel and core functions can be used in these models. This paper tries to introduce the other kernel and core functions can be offered for good fitting of the financial data. We first test three popular kernel and four core functions to find the best one and then offer the new strategy of buying and selling stocks by the best selection on these functions for real data.

        The development of knowledge and advancement in technology has created a wide-ranging transformation in societies and has led to changes in the per-formance of companies in order to respond to environmental turmoil and social expectations. In this way, they tried to gain a significant competitive advantage over other competitors. The purpose of this study was to investi-gate the moderating role of managerial fortification in relation to the impact of technology-based capabilities on the product market competition of knowledge-based companies in the capital market: a source-based capabili-ties (DEA). This research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of data envelopment analysis is a quasi-experimental and post-event research in the field of positive accounting research. Then, based on multivariate regression, the research hypothesis was tested using Eviews software. The statistical population studied in this study consisted of knowledge-based companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during the years 2015 to 2019 and 79 companies were selected and reviewed based on systematic screening. The result of testing the research hypothesis is that the technological capabilities have a positive and significant effect on the product market competition of knowledge-based companies in the capital market. This result demonstrates that the resource-based technology capability based on the source-based capabilities is seen as a resource against stagnation in a competitive environ-ment and helps the company, to maintain flexibility in the face of environ-mental change in order to respond faster, at the same time to develop the company's competitive capacity to create new resources or new and innova-tive products, and to make the company's future more attractive to stake-holders with greater returns and potential risk control.

        As the main achievement of the modern portfolio theory, portfolio diversifica-tion based on risk and return has attracted the attention of many researchers. The Markowitz mean-variance problem is a convex quadratic problem turned into a mixed-integer quadratic programming problem when incorporating car-dinality constraints. Due to the high number of stocks in a market, this problem becomes an NP-hard problem. In this paper, a metaheuristic approach is pro-posed to solve the portfolio optimization problem with cardinality constraints using the differential evolution algorithm, while it is also intended to improve the solutions generated by the algorithm developed. In addition, variance, val-ue-at-risk, and conditional value-at-risk are assessed as risk measures. Candi-date models are solved for 50 top stocks introduced by the Tehran Stock Ex-change by considering the cardinality constraints of not more than five stocks within the portfolio and 24 trading periods. Finally, the obtained results are compared with the results of genetic algorithm. The results show that the pro-posed method has reached the optimal solution in a shorter time. Manuscript profile

        In this research, due to the importance of investing and especially investing in the stock market, we predicted the stock price return on the stock exchange through the Auto-Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Recursive Neural Network (RNN) of long-short term memory (LSTM). Then, to reduce the risk of decision-making, we compared the predictive power of these two models to determine a better model. The research variable is the stock price of the top 20 (in market cap) companies on the stock exchange for the period of the 11th Feb 2015 to 22th Jan 2022. We considered the data of the last 10 days as experimental data and the previous data as educational data. Initially, we calculated the mean and standard deviation of the prediction error of both models; these criteria had less value for the LSTM recursive neural network model than the ARIMA model. To measure the significance of this difference in predictive power, we used Harvey, Liborne, and New Bold tests. The results showed that in predicting the stock prices of the top 20 companies of the stock exchange, the predictive power of the LSTM recursive neural network model was statistically and significantly higher than the ARIMA model which means better predition of stock prices and higher return for investors. In the end, it is believed that the LSTM model may have the best predictive ability, but it is greatly affected by the data processing. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, a new non-monotone line search is used in the diagonal discrete gradient bundle method to solve large-scale non-smooth optimization problems. Non-smooth optimization problems are encountered in many applications in fi-nance problems. The new principle causes the step in each iteration to be longer, which reduces the number of iterations, evaluations, and the computational time. In other words, the efficiency and performance of the method are improved. We prove that the diagonal discrete gradient bundle method converges with the pro-posed non-monotone line search principle for semi-smooth functions, which are not necessarily differentiable or convex. In addition, the numerical results confirm the efficiency of the proposed correction. Manuscript profile

        One of the most important factors of the development of an economy is the mergers or acquisitions (M&A) at the level of its active companies such as insurance companies. The main purpose of this study is to examine the efficiency of merger and acquisition before doing this process in the insurance industry using network data envelopment analysis and can select the companies that potentially facilitate achieving the purposes of the merger and acquisition process and improve of this action. For this purpose, in this study, first the efficiency of 20 insurance companies was measured through the Modified Slack-Based Measure (MSBM) in the two-stage data envelopment analysis approach during three years 2017, 2018 and 2019. Then, considering the calculated efficiency, Asia Insurance Company, Parsian, Dey, Pasargad, Kowsar and Taavon, which have had efficient performance in the last three years, were excluded from the calculations and other companies were selected for M&A . After ensuring that no monopoly is considered via Herfindahl- Hirschman Index, M&A is performed and then the overall efficiency was measured and it was divided into three parts: technical, harmony and scale. The results showed that the two consolidations Dana-Mihan and Dana-Sina had the best efficiency and the three consolidations Alborz-Mellat, Sina-Arman and Sina-Sarmad had the lowest efficiency and potential for the highest improvement. Calculations also showed that if the scale effect in the composition is greater than 1, then the coordination effect is smaller than 1 and the inverse relationship are not necessarily satisfied.

        In the real world, situations frequently occur when we want to allocate a fixed cost between a set of decision-making units (DMUs) such as institutions, organizations. In this paper, we use the data envelopment analysis (DEA) technique to allocate fixed costs among DMUs. First, we introduce semi-additive production technology in DEA and present efficiency evaluation models in this technology. In estimating the frontier of this technology, in addition to the observed DMUs, the set of all aggregations of these DMUs are also used. In the following, we propose an interactive process for fixed cost allocation between DMUs in DEA based on the concept of cross-efficiency. We show that our proposed iterative approach is always feasible, and ensures that all DMUs become efficient after the fixed cost is allocated as an additional input measure. The cross-efficiency scores corresponding to all DMUs are improved at each stage of the interactive process. We also illustrate the proposed approach with a numerical example. The proposed approaches are demonstrated using an application of the fixed cost allocation problem for branches of commercial banks. Finally, we bring the results of the research. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to investigate the reasons for tax evasion in companies, which uses two independent variables (financial constraints and tax planning opportunities) and tow dependent variable (firm value and tax evasion by tax difference method) in the form of 13 models. The 11 indicators have been considered for the variable of financial constraints of companies, and the model is implemented for all these indicators. The research was conducted in the 5-year period from 2015 to 2019 in the Tehran Stock Exchange, and Eviews software was used to analyse the data and fit them for 3 research hypotheses. The results of the research show that the opportunity for tax planning has a negative effect on the value of the company, and the increase in the opportunity for tax planning and subsequently tax evasion causes a decrease in the value of the company. Also, the research results showed that there is a significant relationship between tax planning opportunity and tax evasion (by tax differences method) of companies, while there is no positive relationship between financial constraints and tax evasion (by tax difference method) in companies that have tax planning opportunities.

        This study aims at investigating the effects of the change in the information environment from risk to ambiguity, disclosure dynamics, and the ambiguity aversion behavior of investors on the disclosure of integrated information for selected corporates operating in digital industry listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange during 2012-2022. The corporate voluntary disclosure lag, stock return volatility, and the probability of favorable returns incidence represent respectively the disclosure dynamics, firm risk, and investors' ambiguity aversion, within dynamic panel models. To investigate robustness of the estimates we have also included capital market ambiguity, firm size and stock liquidity indices in the model. The findings are consistent with existing theories. Firm risk and the capital market ambiguity have an increasing impact on the integrated information voluntary disclosure. However, the ambiguity at firm's level has decreased its voluntary disclosure. Likewise, a rise in ambiguity aversion (in-dependent of the ambiguity level), which makes investors more pessimistic about the firm's cash flows, makes the manager to increase the level of voluntary disclosure. Further, inertia in voluntary disclosure has been detected among the studied digital corporates. Depending on the magnitudes of the risk, ambiguity, ambiguity aversion, and the source of investors' ambiguity, the corporate managers decide on their voluntary disclosure policy appropriately.

        The purpose of this study is to examine the factors affecting the transparency of financial information by the experts and their understanding of the factors influencing financial transparency. The research methodology is based on qualitative approach and has been done with cognitive mapping technique. The basis of this qualitative analysis is experience, knowledge and expertise of 15 experts and professors of the universities of Mashhad which is conducted with a semi-structured interview. Using structural analysis method, at first 44 factors were identified .In the screening stage, experts had the most consensus among the five factors. And in the last step, the experts compared these five factors in the binary matrix of interaction and from 0 to 3 were valued. Then the MIC_MAC software extracted the cognitive map and its graph and the results were analyzed. The result of this study showed that the company's characteristics, including size of company, ownership, board of directors, financial ratios, profitability, and audit quality of the company have the most impact on information transparency.

        The present study aims to examine the relationship between cost stickiness and conservatism levels according to the type of industry. This purpose is achieved using the combined data technique and three models of non-operating accruals, the Basu model, and the market value model with a sample consisting of 113 companies listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) over the period 2011 to 2020. Findings show that based on the model of non-operating accruals in the automotive, pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries, cost stickiness decreases the level of conservatism. However, in the machinery industry, the relationship is significantly based on this model, but cost stickiness does not reduce the level of conservatism. According to the Basu model in the chemical, food, and basic metals industries, cost stickiness reduces the level of conservatism. But in the pharmaceutical industry and machinery and equipment, there is a significant relationship according to this model, but cost stickiness does not decrease the level of conservatism in companies. Also, based on the market value model in the automotive, chemical, machinery, and basic metal industries, there is a significant association, but cost stickiness does not decrease the level of conservatism in companies.

        In an expansive test of nations over distinctive geographic districts and over a long period of time, we discover restricted nation and variable-specific impacts of central bank straightforwardness on figure exactness and their scattering among an expansive set of proficient figures of monetary and macroeconomic factors. More communication indeed increments estimate mistakes and scattering. So the aim at this study is a systematic review of central bank transparency and capital market reaction. This study was conducted using a systematic review. At first all papers (n=165) related to keywords (capital market reaction and central bank transparency) searched for Persian and English databases; Google, Google scholar, PubMed covering the period from 2012 through 2022 was performed. Then all qualitative and quantitative papers related to central bank transparency selected and analyzed (n=28). As a result to inclusion and exclusion criteria, papers related to central bank transparency were found and analyzed (n=28). Predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria were: papers related to central bank transparency, papers were Persian and English, types of papers were original and all the papers were free full text. In the initial search, 165 papers were found that after reviewing the titles and abstract articles and removing repetitive and non-related, 54 possible related articles were investigated. Of these, 31 papers were omitted from the abstract because of lack of access to the original article and lack of sufficient information. Finally, 28 papers were included in the study. There are very few studies that have examined the effect of central bank transparency on capital market turmoil. The effect of central bank transpar-ency on the domestic capital market has not been studied. There is no agreement in the literature on theoretical discussions on whether increasing central bank transparency affects capital market turmoil. In foreign research, we can also refer to the study of Dinser and Eichngreen (2007) who have studied this effect empirically using the main transparency index. The pre-sent systematic review shows that almost whole of papers on central bank transparency and capital market reaction highlighted similar findings con-cerning monetary policy decisions.

        The existence of bubbles in the market, especially the capital market, can be a factor in preventing the participation of investors in the capital market process and the correct allocation of financial resources for the economic development of the country. On the other hand, due to the goal of investors in achieving a portfolio of high returns with the least amount of risk, the need to pay attention to these markets increases. In this research, with the aim of maximizing return and minimizing investment risk, an attempt has been made to form an optimal portfolio in conditions where the capital market has a price bubble. According to the purpose, the research is of applied type, and in terms of data, quantitative and post-event, and in terms of type of analysis, it is of descriptive-correlation type. In order to identify the months with bubbles in the period from 2015 to 2021 in the Tehran Stock Exchange market, sequence tests and skewness and kurtosis tests were used. After identifying periods with bubbles, the meta-heuristic algorithms were used to optimize the portfolio. The results indicate the identification of 14 periods with price bubbles in the period under study. Also, in portfolio optimization, selected stock portfolios with maximum returns and minimum risk are formed. This research will be a guide for investors in identifying bubble courses and how to form an optimal portfolio in these conditions. Manuscript profile

        The purpose of this research is to investigate the prediction of corporate social responsibility reporting using financial ratios. To answer the research question, four prediction models of linear regression, K Nearest Neighbor, decision tree, and deep learning were investigated. Also, 61 financial ratios were used according to previous research using data related to listed and non-listed companies of Iran from the years 2012 to 2018. According to the re-sults obtained from the estimation of each of the proposed prediction mod-els, it can be stated that the k-nearest neighbor model has the lowest RMSE value, and in fact, this model predicts the amount of social responsibility with less error than other models. The linear regression model with the high-est RMSE value has a weaker performance than other models. LSTM model and decision tree respectively had the lowest RMSE value after the k-nearest neighbor model. As a result, since the LSTM model requires a large number of test sam-ples for deeper learning, it could not achieve high performance in the evaluated data set. Based on the investigations, it can be stated that the current research does not have a similar example inside or outside of Iran. Manuscript profile

        In today's world, financial markets, as the main arteries of any country's economic system, have created an attractive environment for investors, and therefore it is necessary to identify the behavior of investors in this space and variables affecting prices and stock returns in these markets. The purpose of this study is to use the method of random dominance analysis and electrification technique as a new method in financial research to investigate the effect of calendar anomalies on the index returns of banks listed on the Tehran Stock Exchange in the period 2016-2020. Findings show that according to the three main hypotheses that there is a significant difference between the returns of the banking industry index on Saturdays to Wednesdays, in the first, second, third and fourth weeks of each month and in the months of April to March based on accuracy Market efficiency assumptions were formulated, all three hypotheses were rejected. It was also found that Wednesdays and the second weeks of each month are the best time to invest in the banking sector. In addition, June is the best and March is the most unsuitable month of the year to invest in this field. Manuscript profile

        Using jumps in stock prices as a proxy for information shocks to examine investors' reactions to significant events is the most effective method for identifying information shocks. Compared to other studies, this method has advantages listed at the end of the literature review. We provide evidence consistent with short-term overreaction on the Tehran Stock Exchange. Thus, through the contrarian investment strategy, i.e., buying stocks with negative lagged jump returns and selling those with positive lagged jump returns, earn significantly positive returns over the next one- to three-month horizons. This research analyzed the adjusted daily closing prices of the top thirty stocks on the Tehran Stock Exchange in terms of market value and turnover during 2013-2020. Manuscript profile

        An investment portfolio is a collection of financial assets consisting of investment tools such as stocks, bonds, and bank deposits, among others, which are held by a person or a group of persons. In this research, we use the Markowitz model to optimize the stock portfolio and identify the minimum spanning tree (MST) structure in the portfolio consisting of 50 stocks traded in the TSE. The observable which is used to detect the minimum spanning tree (MST) of the stocks of a given portfolio is the synchronous correlation coefficient of the daily difference of logarithm of closure price of stocks. The correlation coefficient is calculated between all the possible pairs of stocks present in the portfolio in a given time course. The goal of the present study is to obtain the taxonomy of a portfolio of stocks traded in the TSE by using the information of time series of stock prices only. In this research, report results obtained by investigating the portfolio of the stocks used to compute 50 stocks of the Iran Stock Exchange in the time period from January 2012 to October 2022.

        In this article, the pricing of option contracts is discussed using the Mikhailov and Nogel model and the artificial neural network method. The purpose of this research is to investigate and compare the performance of various types of activator functions available in artificial neural networks for the pricing of option contracts. The Mikhailov and Nogel model is the same model that is dependent on time. In the design of the artificial neural network required for this research, the parameters of the Mikhailov and Nogel model have been used as network inputs, as well as 700 data from the daily price of stock options available in the Tehran Stock Exchange market (in 2021) as the net-work output. The first 600 data are considered for learning and the remaining data for comparison and conclusion. At first, the pricing is done with 4 commonly used activator functions, and then the results of each are com-pared with the real prices of the Tehran Stock Exchange to determine which item provides a more accurate forecast. The results obtained from this re-search show that among the activator functions available in this research, the ReLU activator function performs better than other activator functions.
