    Evidence from Empirical Studies: Which Groups of Individuals Experience More Severe Income Hardship Due to COVID-19 Infection?

    There is a lack of evidence on whether a pandemic exacerbates economic inequalities among disadvantaged groups. This study examined whether the income of single households was affected by sample adults who were infected with COVID-19. I used NHIS data, compared the average income between infected sample adults and uninfected for each of the sub-groups, and constructed the difference in the difference graph based on the mean value. Also, using a difference-in-difference model to confirm statistically significant differences in mean income between the different groups. The results show that full-time sample adults infected with COVID-19 have significantly lower incomes than those uninfected; the sample adults with hypertension, low education, or non-metropolitan residents’ groups, who were not infected with COVID-19 were the most disadvantaged financially. The main reason for these unexpected results may be that the unemployment of infected persons instead qualifies them for high benefits.

    Improved Hedge Fund Portfolio Optimization Using 2-Step Covariance Matrix and Fund Transaction Costs

    This study focuses on fund portfolio investments in the Chinese market. The application of classic portfolio optimization methods encounters several issues when applied to fund portfolios. For example, issues such as the non-normal distribution of returns on funds or fund portfolios, turnover rate limitations in fund investments, and liquidity constraints of fund assets, which can lead to transaction costs and opportunity costs, are prevalent challenges. The existence of these issues can compromise the effectiveness of classic portfolio optimization methods like Mean-Variance Optimization. This may result in a reduction of accuracy in determining the portfolio’s optimal weights, a deviation of actual trading results from the model’s optimal expectation, and may even render the optimal weights impractical in real-world scenarios. To address these challenges, this paper integrates the 2-Step covariance matrix method (2-Step method) and the measurement of fund transaction costs into the portfolio optimization process. The paper finds that the 2-Step method, compared to the baseline, can indeed improve the risk-return indicators of the potimal fund portfolio. The inclusion of the transaction cost can effectively control the turnover frequency of the portfolio. Even after accounting for these costs, the 2-Step method continues to exhibit a significant improvement effect compared to the baseline.
