[[INTRODUCTION]]

The intersection of academic disciplines and financial markets has long been a subject of interest and intrigue. While the connection between gender studies and stock prices might initially seem as incongruous as mixing stripes with plaids, or pineapple on pizza (love it or hate it!), our research seeks to unravel this curious relationship. In the world of finance, where numbers and charts reign supreme, the influence of sociocultural factors is often relegated to the background, much like the unsung hero in a summer blockbuster. However, our analysis delves into this uncharted territory to examine the unexpectedly profound impact of gender studies on the stock performance of Trane Technologies (TT).

As the world of investment constantly evolves, it is imperative to consider the myriad factors that might drive stock prices, from traditional financial metrics to the less explored realms of sociocultural phenomena. The concept of gender studies might not immediately spring to mind when pondering the stock market, but as the saying goes, "don't judge a book by its cover" – or in this case, a stock by its industry. With the rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) investing and an increasing awareness of social responsibility in the business world, the influence of sociocultural factors on stock prices has garnered attention akin to the paparazzi hounding a celebrity. This study endeavors to add a new layer of understanding to this conversation, shedding light on the "Trane-sformational" impact of gender studies on the stock price of Trane Technologies.

Beyond the market implications, this investigation holds broader significance in highlighting the interconnectedness of education, gender, and financial outcomes. Remember, folks, correlation does not imply causation, but it sure gives us something to ponder over a latte at the local coffee shop. By exploring this intriguing correlation between the number of Associates degrees awarded in gender studies and the stock price of Trane Technologies, we aim to contribute to the expanding tapestry of knowledge at the intersection of academia and finance. So, buckle up and get ready for a journey through numbers and gender studies, because the relationship between these two may just be the unexpected twist in this season's financial blockbuster!

[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]



ChatGPT:
[[LITERATURE REVIEW]]

The current landscape of literature examining the correlation between academic degree programs and stock price movements is marked by a notable dearth of research on the specific interplay between Associates degrees in gender studies and company valuations. However, there are several seminal works that provide valuable insights into the broader connections between social sciences education and financial markets. In "Gender Studies and Stock Returns," Smith et al. illustrate the potential influence of gender-focused education on stock performance, albeit in a broader context than the focus of our study.

Moreover, Doe's research in "Economics of Education and Corporate Finance" delves into the relationship between educational attainment and corporate financial decision-making, offering intriguing parallels to the nexus of gender studies and stock prices. Jones' seminal work, "Feminism in Finance," provides a critical examination of gender dynamics within financial institutions, laying a theoretical foundation for understanding the potential impact of gender studies on market dynamics.

Taking a turn to more mainstream sources, "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg presents a compelling narrative on gender dynamics in the workplace, offering potential implications for corporate valuations and stock prices. Similarly, "The Confidence Code" by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman provides a thought-provoking exploration of gender dynamics in professional settings, provoking contemplation on how these dynamics might filter into market movements.

On a more lighthearted note, the fictional works "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan offer thematic explorations of gender roles and societal dynamics, though their direct correlation to stock prices remains a subject perhaps better left to the realm of whimsical speculation.

Funnily enough, a recent Twitter thread on the #GenderFinanceTies hashtag offered intriguing anecdotes about how discussions of gender studies might play into stock market analyses. One post humorously suggested that a surge in Associates degrees awarded in gender studies could lead to a "feminist bull market," a sentiment that, while lacking empirical support, certainly adds a touch of levity to the discourse on this unconventional correlation.

In synthesizing these diverse sources, the authors find a paucity of empirical research directly addressing the relationship between Associates degrees in gender studies and stock prices, leaving an untapped reservoir of potential insights yet to be explored. As we march forward into uncharted territory, the merits of investigating this unusual relationship cannot be overstated, promising a blend of seriousness and levity that make academic research a thrilling adventure.

Taking a turn to more mainstream sources, "Lean In" by Sheryl Sandberg presents a compelling narrative on gender dynamics in the workplace, offering potential implications for corporate valuations and stock prices. Similarly, "The Confidence Code" by Katty Kay and Claire Shipman provides a thought-provoking exploration of gender dynamics in professional settings, provoking contemplation on how these dynamics might filter into market movements.
On a more lighthearted note, the fictional works "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen and "The Feminine Mystique" by Betty Friedan offer thematic explorations of gender roles and societal dynamics, though their direct correlation to stock prices remains a subject perhaps better left to the realm of whimsical speculation.
Funnily enough, a recent Twitter thread on the #GenderFinanceTies hashtag offered intriguing anecdotes about how discussions of gender studies might play into stock market analyses. One post humorously suggested that a surge in Associates degrees awarded in gender studies could lead to a "feminist bull market," a sentiment that, while lacking empirical support, certainly adds a touch of levity to the discourse on this unconventional correlation.
In synthesizing these diverse sources, the authors find a paucity of empirical research directly addressing the relationship between Associates degrees in gender studies and stock prices, leaving an untapped reservoir of potential insights yet to be explored. As we march forward into uncharted territory, the merits of investigating this unusual relationship cannot be overstated, promising a blend of seriousness and levity that make academic research a thrilling adventure.

[[DISCUSSION]]

The results of our study provide compelling evidence of a strong positive association between the number of Associates degrees awarded in gender studies and Trane Technologies' stock price. This robust relationship underscores the profound influence of sociocultural factors on financial markets and hints at the potential for a "Trane-sformation" in investment strategies.

Our findings align with prior research that has hinted at the impact of gender-focused education on stock performance. Smith et al.'s work, although broader in scope, foreshadowed the possibility of gender studies exerting a subtle yet significant influence on market dynamics. Similarly, Jones' theoretical exploration of gender dynamics within financial institutions provides a conceptual backdrop for understanding the interplay between gender studies and stock prices. It's as if these prior studies were dropping breadcrumbs leading us to the surprising link between gender studies and Trane Technologies' stock price, much like a plot twist in a mystery novel.

While our results might appear unexpected at first glance, they are consistent with the growing body of literature that acknowledges the underexplored influence of social sciences education on corporate valuations. The metaphorical 'dance routine' between the number of Associates degrees in gender studies and TT stock price, as depicted by the high correlation coefficient, mirrors the potential for unexpected synchrony in seemingly disparate domains, not unlike a surprising duet between unlikely partners in a talent show.

The remarkably high explanatory power of the relationship, illustrated by the substantial r-squared value, further supports the notion that gender studies could be a substantial explanatory variable for Trane Technologies' stock price movements. This explanatory power is more robust than the sturdiness of a well-constructed piece of furniture – a fitting analogy for a study that delves into the often overlooked influence of social sciences education on financial markets.

The statistically significant p-value adds weight to the argument for considering gender studies as a factor in investment decisions. Much like an unexpected plot twist in a movie, this finding demands attention and challenges traditional notions of what factors should be considered when evaluating investment opportunities.

Our study's results emphasize the need to broaden the scope of factors considered in investment decision-making and highlight the potential impact of sociocultural education on financial markets. Perhaps it's time to recognize gender studies as not only a field of academic interest but also a potential indicator of stock performance. Who would have thought that a surge in Associates degrees awarded in gender studies could lead to a "feminist bull market"? Our results certainly spark a humorous yet thought-provoking twist in the discourse on this unorthodox correlation.

In conclusion, our research offers a provocative perspective on the interplay between academic fields and financial markets, shedding light on a correlation that challenges conventional wisdom. The findings from this study, while unexpected, offer a fresh and insightful dimension to the complex narrative of market dynamics.

See what else correlates with Trane Technologies' stock price (TT)

Correlation r = 0.9483433 (Pearson correlation coefficient)
Correlation is a measure of how much the variables move together. If it is 0.99, when one goes up the other goes up. If it is 0.02, the connection is very weak or non-existent. If it is -0.99, then when one goes up the other goes down. If it is 1.00, you probably messed up your correlation function.

r2 = 0.8993551 (Coefficient of determination)
This means 89.9% of the change in the one variable (i.e., Trane Technologies' stock price (TT)) is predictable based on the change in the other (i.e., Associates degrees awarded in gender studies) over the 11 years from 2011 through 2021.

p < 0.01, which is statistically significant(Null hypothesis significance test)
The p-value is 8.8E-6. 0.0000087911916675704420000000
The p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme. More specifically the p-value is a measure of how probable it is that we would randomly find a result this extreme if we had only tested one pair of variables one time.

But I am a p-villain. I absolutely did not test only one pair of variables one time. I correlated hundreds of millions of pairs of variables. I threw boatloads of data into an industrial-sized blender to find this correlation.

Who is going to stop me? p-value reporting doesn't require me to report how many calculations I had to go through in order to find a low p-value!
On average, you will find a correaltion as strong as 0.95 in 0.00088% of random cases. Said differently, if you correlated 113,750 random variables You don't actually need 113 thousand variables to find a correlation like this one. I don't have that many variables in my database. You can also correlate variables that are not independent. I do this a lot.

p-value calculations are useful for understanding the probability of a result happening by chance. They are most useful when used to highlight the risk of a fluke outcome. For example, if you calculate a p-value of 0.30, the risk that the result is a fluke is high. It is good to know that! But there are lots of ways to get a p-value of less than 0.01, as evidenced by this project.

In this particular case, the values are so extreme as to be meaningless. That's why no one reports p-values with specificity after they drop below 0.01.

Just to be clear: I'm being completely transparent about the calculations. There is no math trickery. This is just how statistics shakes out when you calculate hundreds of millions of random correlations.
with the same 10 degrees of freedom, Degrees of freedom is a measure of how many free components we are testing. In this case it is 10 because we have two variables measured over a period of 11 years. It's just the number of years minus ( the number of variables minus one ), which in this case simplifies to the number of years minus one.
you would randomly expect to find a correlation as strong as this one.

[ 0.81, 0.99 ] 95% correlation confidence interval (using the Fisher z-transformation)
The confidence interval is an estimate the range of the value of the correlation coefficient, using the correlation itself as an input. The values are meant to be the low and high end of the correlation coefficient with 95% confidence.

This one is a bit more complciated than the other calculations, but I include it because many people have been pushing for confidence intervals instead of p-value calculations (for example: NEJM. However, if you are dredging data, you can reliably find yourself in the 5%. That's my goal!


All values for the years included above: If I were being very sneaky, I could trim years from the beginning or end of the datasets to increase the correlation on some pairs of variables. I don't do that because there are already plenty of correlations in my database without monkeying with the years.

Still, sometimes one of the variables has more years of data available than the other. This page only shows the overlapping years. To see all the years, click on "See what else correlates with..." link above.

Why this works

  1. Data dredging: I have 25,153 variables in my database. I compare all these variables against each other to find ones that randomly match up. That's 632,673,409 correlation calculations! This is called “data dredging.” Instead of starting with a hypothesis and testing it, I instead abused the data to see what correlations shake out. It’s a dangerous way to go about analysis, because any sufficiently large dataset will yield strong correlations completely at random.
  2. Lack of causal connection: There is probably Because these pages are automatically generated, it's possible that the two variables you are viewing are in fact causually related. I take steps to prevent the obvious ones from showing on the site (I don't let data about the weather in one city correlate with the weather in a neighboring city, for example), but sometimes they still pop up. If they are related, cool! You found a loophole.
    no direct connection between these variables, despite what the AI says above. This is exacerbated by the fact that I used "Years" as the base variable. Lots of things happen in a year that are not related to each other! Most studies would use something like "one person" in stead of "one year" to be the "thing" studied.
  3. Observations not independent: For many variables, sequential years are not independent of each other. If a population of people is continuously doing something every day, there is no reason to think they would suddenly change how they are doing that thing on January 1. A simple Personally I don't find any p-value calculation to be 'simple,' but you know what I mean.
    p-value calculation does not take this into account, so mathematically it appears less probable than it really is.
