Professor Fuwei Jiang and his research team published the groundbreaking study "Media Text Sentiment and Stock Return Prediction" in China Economic Quarterly (Issue 4, 2021), introducing an innovative research achievement in finance—the Chinese Financial Sentiment Dictionary.
"Based on the Loughran and McDonald (2011) dictionary, this study constructs a more updated and comprehensive Chinese financial sentiment dictionary through manual screening and word2vec algorithm expansion. Using this sentiment dictionary to calculate textual sentiment indicators from Chinese financial media, we find that media sentiment can more accurately measure changes in investor sentiment in China's stock market and exhibits significant in-sample and out-of-sample predictive power for stock returns. Media sentiment also demonstrates notable predictive capabilities for key macroeconomic indicators, holding substantial academic and practical value."
