Financial social media refers to platforms where users discuss and share information related to financial markets, investments, and economic trends where users exchange ideas, seek advice, and stay updated on financial news. This second edition includes theoretical models, new methodologies, and empirical data, along with tests that reveal how online communication not only impacts stock returns, but also volatility, trading volume, and liquidity, as well as an investing firm's value and reputation.The book introduces what financial social media is and why it's important. It discusses who is more likely to post messages on financial social media and why while demonstrating how to measure financial social media activities using statistical approaches.  Based on intuition, logic, and empirical evidence, the book explores the patterns of posting activities and argues that online talk does matter to investors. It also discusses trading strategies for both retail and institutional investors, and looks to the future in how the industry might change. It will be of interest to researchers of financial services, social media, behavioral finance, and risk management, alongside policymakers and practitioners.

Approaching the prison as a creative environment and imprisoned officials as creative subjects in Ming China (1368-1644), Ying Zhang introduces important themes at the intersection of premodern Chinese religion, poetry, and visual and material culture. The Ming is known for its extraordinary cultural and economic accomplishments in the increasingly globalized early modern world. For scholars of Chinese religion and art, this era crystallizes the essential and enduring characteristics in these two spheres. Drawing on scholarship on Chinese philosophy, religion, aesthetics, poetry, music, and visual and material culture, Zhang illustrates how the prisoners understood their environment as creative and engaged it creatively. She then offers a literature survey on the characteristics of premodern Chinese religion and art that helps situate the questions of “creative environment” and “creative subject” within multiple fields of scholarship.

The book is the first book on complex matrix equations including the conjugate of unknown matrices. The study of these conjugate matrix equations is motivated by the investigations on stabilization and model reference tracking control for discrete-time antilinear systems, which are a particular kind of complex system with structure constraints. It proposes useful approaches to obtain iterative solutions or explicit solutions for several types of complex conjugate matrix equation. It observes that there are some significant differences between the real/complex matrix equations and the complex conjugate matrix equations. For example, the solvability of a real Sylvester matrix equation can be characterized by matrix similarity; however, the solvability of the con-Sylvester matrix equation in complex conjugate form is related to the concept of con-similarity.  In addition, the new concept of conjugate product for complex polynomial matrices is also proposed in order to establish a unifiedapproach for solving a type of complex matrix equation.
