Machine Learning Forecasts of Asymmetric Betas Using Firm-Specific Information
利用公司特征的机器学习非对称贝塔预测
We demonstrate that machine learning methods provide a powerful framework for modelling conditional asymmetric risk. Using a large cross-section of US stocks and a comprehensive set of firm characteristics, we show that allowing for nonlinearities significantly increases the out-of-sample performance across a wide range of asymmetric beta measures and forecasting horizons. Trading frictions, followed by characteristics related to intangibles, momentum and growth, emerge as…
