Título: Robust Bayesian portfolio optimization
Autores: Carlos Andres Zapata Quimbayo; et al.
Revista: International Review of Financial Analysis
Editorial: Elsevier
We propose a robust Bayesian model using the normal-inverse-Wishart and Gamma distributions for an investment portfolio consisting of the stocks of the United States Dow Jones Industrial Index. To this end, the Bayesian approach and the robust portfolio model are integrated to determine the uncertainty of the estimated parameters in expected returns and covariances using ellipsoidal or quadratic type uncertainty sets. The results show that the proposed method exhibits better performance and diversification than the traditional mean-variance model as well as the robust portfolios.

Exploring the link between foresight and artificial intelligence methods to strengthen collective future-building in contexts of social instability
Autor: Raul Trujillo Cabezas
Revista: Foresight
Editorial: Emerald Publishing
The study explores the connection between foresight and Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods in a community within an environment of social instability in Colombia. It aims to contribute to research on aligning these methods for future-shaping, with the goal of enhancing shared governance, peer learning and collective learning among traditional decision-makers and local communities in emerging countries. The study seeks to foster a community of social actors who are likely to engage constructively in strategic dialogues. To enhancing shared governance and learning a hybrid model is synthesized, combining foresight and computational intelligence.
