There are academic papers focused on trading strategies, many of which explore models and techniques applicable to various financial markets, including emerging ones. While some strategies are well-known and routinely applied in developed markets, they might not be fully exploited in emerging markets due to several factors.
Firstly, emerging markets are known for their higher volatility and less predictable political and economic environments, making them different in nature from developed markets. Therefore, strategies that perform well in established markets may require adaptation for the nuances of emerging markets. Academic papers often highlight methods such as momentum, mean reversion, and machine learning-based strategies that can be adapted to these markets.
Furthermore, the limited access to data and market participants’ behavioral biases in emerging markets can lead to inefficiencies not present in developed markets. Academic literature often points to these inefficiencies as opportunities where strategies like arbitrage, factor investing, and sentiment analysis could be less explored and potentially profitable.
Lastly, researchers continue to publish new findings that incorporate modern techniques, including Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, which can process complex datasets and uncover patterns not previously exploitable. Though these strategies might be in early stages of testing or application in emerging markets, academic papers provide theoretical foundations and case studies that suggest potential underutilized areas.
Thus, academics continuously produce literature that both extends existing methodologies and introduces novel concepts applicable to emerging markets, presenting opportunities for traders to find under-exploited trading strategies.
