Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Inflation is a risk that every investor must challenge. Money tends to lose its value over time, and the inflation rate also changes depending on the events that take place.

The wave of global inflation has not yet cooled down. The prices are rising, and the value of assets is shrinking as a result. In addition to gold- the traditional inflation hedging tool, do financial assets such as stocks and bonds, and real assets such as real estate, infrastructure, natural resources, and forestry, etc. have an average rate of return greater than the rate of inflation during the period of rising inflation? Hopefully, through this Special Issue, we can discuss and provide optimal solutions to avoid inflation risks to satisfy those in need.

This study confirms gold’s role as a reliable inflation hedge while introducing new insights into lesser-explored assets like art and wheat. Using advanced methodologies such as the ARDL framework and LSTM deep learning, it conducts a detailed analysis of inflation-hedging dynamics, exploring non-linear relationships and unexpected inflation impacts across various asset classes. The findings reveal complex dynamics. Gold demonstrates strong long-term inflation hedging potential. The negative coefficient for the US dollar index suggests that gold acts as a hedge against currency depreciation. Furthermore, a positive relationship between gold returns and inflation during high inflation periods highlights its effectiveness in protecting purchasing power. Art presents a more intricate picture. Long-term analysis suggests a weak mean-reverting tendency, but a negative relationship with inflation, potentially linked to economic downturns. Interestingly, unexpected inflation positively correlates with art returns in the long run, hinting at its potential inflation-hedging abilities. No statistically significant connection between wheat prices and overall inflation was observed; the short-run analysis reveals a dynamic interplay between inflation, real GDP growth, and wheat prices at different time points.

In the wake of inflation, investors engage in identifying inflation hedging instruments. Most importantly, investors attempt to minimize risk and maximize returns to safeguard against inflation. Risk plays an important role in this process. The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between risk factors and investor behavior, particularly in the Indian context. Based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB), we built a conceptual model investigating the intricate relationship between risk factors, investment priority, investment strategy and investment decision-making. We collected data from 537 respondents in the southern region of India and analyzed the data using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The result indicate: (i) risk factors (risk capacity, risk tolerance, and risk propensity) are positively related to investment priority and investment strategy, (ii) investment priority is positively related to investment decision-making, (iii) conscientiousness moderates the relationship between investment priority and investment decision-making, (iv) investment strategy is positively related to investment decision-making. Finally, the practical and theoretical implications for research are discussed. Full article
