Abstract:
This paper proposes the optimal pledge rate model based on the pledgee's bilateral risk-CVaR and dual-objective planning. First, a bilateral risk-CVaR model is constructed, for which a nonparametric kernel estimation method is presented, with a comparative analysis of the efficient frontier for "mean-variance", "mean-CVaR", and "mean-bilateral risk CVaR". Second, it establishes a dual-objective planning model by the objectives of bilateral risk-CVaR and expected return of the pledgee, and accordingly develops an optimal pledge rate model combined with objective deviation, priority factor, and entropy method. Finally, the relationships between the pledge rate, the number of pledged shares, and the expected return are explored through simulation. The results illustrate that: (i) There are sequential inclusion relationships between the "mean-bilateral risk CVaR", the "mean-CVaR" considering only the downside risk, and the "mean-variance" efficient sets of share pledge rate. (ii) As the number of shares increases, the pledgee's expected return also rises, and its sensitivity to the pledge rate grows. (iii) When the pledgee's expected return fixes, the number of pledged shares and the pledge rate have a U-shaped relationship. As it increases, the number of pledged shares rises, but the variation range of the pledge rate gradually decreases, and the pledgor's default risk declines.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...

Binomial Probability Distribution
The outcomes of a binomial experiment fit a binomial probability distribution. A statistical experiment can be classified as a binomial experiment if the following conditions are met:
There are a fixed number of trials. Think of trials as repetitions of an experiment. The letter n denotes the number of trials.
There are only two possible outcomes,...
