The Impact of Proactive Disclosure of AI Regulatory Frameworks on Stock Price Fluctuations
This study examines whether companies can manage market expectations by voluntarily making substantial documents on Artificial Intelligence (AI) governance public. Using Meta’s July 18, 2023 release of Llama 2 and its accompanying governance materials (including the Responsible Use Guide and System Card) as the focal event, the study applies an event-study framework and a GARCH(1,1) model to examine abnormal returns and volatility dynamics., conducted an event study to estimate abnormal returns, using the Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (garch) model (1,1), using the volatility comparison and the pseudo event. Variation in the variance of test conditions. The results show a delay in market assimilation. On launch day, the outstanding return is low, but the following trading day shows a significant outstanding return (+ 1.24%). In addition, post-disclosure specific volatility decreased by approximately 39.7% in one week, with a significantly negative GARCH event coefficient, which reduced perceived causal risk. Overall, proactive and detailed disclosure of AI compliance serves as a reliable signal to stabilize prices and reduce risk premiums. This study provides important insights into how positive disclosure of the AI regulatory framework affects market dynamics, especially in high-tech sectors. Focus on Meta's July 18, 2023 disclosure and review subsequent market responses, including exceptional returns and low volatility.

The Feedback Effect of Digital Fashion on the Real Economy
In the context of the rapid development of the digital era, the development of digital fashion has been widely discussed. Meta universe brand space, virtual clothing, NFT products, and so on are constantly emerging. The development of the fashion industry in the physical aspect has attracted much attention, but whether it can drive the real development of the real economy has not been fully discussed. The analysis shows that the brand reduces the threshold of entity purchase by identifying with consumers in the virtual space. Expand brand awareness and cultivate new consumer groups through social media communication. Brand can help the data in the digital space move forward in production logic, reduce resource waste and feed back the real economy. At the same time, this paper points out that this path largely depends on the brand's own cultural accumulation, and emerging brands may not be able to copy and use it directly. This paper puts forward the following suggestions: brands should pay attention to different consumer groups and optimize the quality of physical products to achieve sustainable development while promoting digital experience.

Analysis of Gold Price Forecasting at Different Frequencies Based on ARIMA
Article thumbnail
Gold is referred to as a critical safe-haven asset, which is significant to the international financial markets and risk management. As such, it is significant to the investors and financial institutions to predict the prices of gold and the stocks concerned with gold. The paper aims at comparing the gold price forecasting of the data at various data frequencies (daily, weekly, and monthly) using Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model. This paper will initially preprocess the data based on historical gold prices data in a representative international market between the years February 1, 2006 and January 1, 2026, by using stationarity tests and differencing operations. This paper, therefore, builds ARIMA models and optimizes them at each frequency to determine how well they predict using measures like MAE and RMSE. The empirical findings indicate that the long-term forecasts provided by lower-frequency data such as monthly yield are more stable and accurate and the short-term forecasts by higher-frequency data are more accurate and volatile in forecasting errors. This paper is not only adding to the existing empirical body of knowledge on the forecasting of gold prices at various data frequencies, but also offers a practical decision support to the market participants to develop specific trading and risk management strategies according to the various forecasting horizons.

Time Series Forecasting of Diabetes Mortality in the United States Based on ARIMA
Article thumbnail
It looks at diabetes death data in the U.S. for certain age groups from 1999 to 2020. The goal of this article is to identify the patterns of mortality rate over time and whether past patterns can be applied to predict what will happen in the future. Looking first at the data showed that the time series was not stationary, which meant that it was unable to be modeled directly. Data was differenced before the model was built to fix this problem. This paper chose the ARIMA(0,1,0) model after looking at a number of other options. Although this model was pretty simple, it fit the dataset well. It accurately showed the main trends in the data without making things more complicated than they needed to be. One interesting finding about the data is that the number of deaths went up a lot in 2020. It doesn't fit with how matters have changed in the past, which makes it stand out as a major anomaly.

Natural Gas Price Forecasting in the Energy Sector: A Time Series Approach Based on Henry Hub Data
Article thumbnail
The energy sector has experienced significant changes in recent years, with natural gas becoming an important transitional energy source in the shift toward renewable energy. As natural gas plays a key role in electricity generation and industrial production, accurately forecasting its price has become increasingly important. This study applies time series analysis methods to examine and predict Henry Hub natural gas prices using historical data. Specifically, naïve, drift, exponential smoothing (ETS), and ARIMA models are implemented following standard procedures, including stationarity testing, differencing, and model identification using ACF and PACF. The results show that the ARIMA model outperforms other models in terms of forecasting accuracy, indicating that natural gas prices exhibit certain predictable patterns rather than purely random behavior. These findings suggest that time series models can effectively capture the dynamics of energy prices and provide useful insights for short-term forecasting. The study contributes to a better understanding of energy market behavior and offers practical implications for investors and policymakers.

Stock Price Forecasting Using ARIMA: Evidence from Zijin Mining Group
Article thumbnail
As market conditions become increasingly volatile, stock price predictions are becoming more challenging for all investors and researchers. Therefore, using a suitable model structure for stock price forecasting is crucial. The ARIMA model is a classic stock price prediction model in time series analysis, capturing patterns in past price changes and the impact of past shocks. This article analyzes and predicts Zijin Mining's stock price based on this model, selecting the closing prices of trading days from 2021 to 2025. The model ARIMA(1,1,1), which showed the best fit and had all significant parameters, was selected to predict the next five trading days. The results indicate that the model's short-term predictive effect on Zijin Mining's stock price is only average, possibly because it did not take into account market sentiment and macroeconomic adjustments. In future research, a mixture model or the inclusion of some macroeconomic variables could be considered.
