短程与长程相依下在线期望分位数估计的极限理论AI 解读

Expectiles are tail-sensitive distributional summaries with important applications in financial risk measurement and forecasting, yet statistical theory for their online estimation from dependent data remains limited. We study a one-pass, stochastic-gradient algorithm with constant learning rate $γ$ for estimating the marginal expectile of a stationary causal process. The recursion admits a unique stationary causal solution and geometrically forgets its initialization. Under…

重尾模型中的基于比率的因果发现AI 解读

In many complex systems, such as river networks and financial markets, extreme events propagate from causes to their effects, and the largest observations carry the most information about the underlying causal structure. Existing methods for causal discovery in extremes, however, are tailored to specific mechanisms, such as linear or max-linear models. This work develops causal discovery for heavy-tailed homogeneous structural causal models, a flexible class that contains…

因果—非因果状态空间模型与金融泡沫建模AI 解读

In this paper, we study causal non-causal state space models to model time series characterised by a local explosive increase followed by a sharp decrease such as stock prices. To motivate the use of causal non-causal state space models, we show that the causal non-causal convolution autoregressive model introduced by Gourieroux and Zakoian (2017) can be consistent with the rational expectations stock price model. As in a causal state space model, a central question is how…

一般条件下极端事件因果效应的识别与推断AI 解读

Understanding the propagation of extreme events is important in many economic and environmental applications, yet most econometric methods for causal inference focus on average effects rather than tail behavior. This paper studies the identification of causal relations in extremes and derives resulting estimators and their asymptotic inference. As measure of causal dependence between extreme realizations of variables, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the Causal Tail…

极端事件中的格兰杰因果关系AI 解读

We introduce a rigorous mathematical framework for Granger causality in extremes, designed to identify causal links from extreme events in time series. Granger causality plays a pivotal role in uncovering directional relationships among time-varying variables. While this notion gains heightened importance during extreme and highly volatile periods, state-of-the-art methods primarily focus on causality within the body of the distribution, often overlooking causal mechanisms…

交易量、波动率与收益联合动态的结构矩阵自回归模型AI 解读

This paper proposes a Structural Matrix Autoregressive (SMAR) model for the joint analysis of asset returns, realized volatility, and trading volume in a large-dimensional setting. This framework simultaneously captures dynamic spillovers across financial variables and cross-sectional dependence across assets while preserving a parsimonious parameterization relative to conventional vector autoregressive models. The model is estimated on daily data for the constituents of the…

CausalAlpha：基于开源情报的实时地缘政治风险指数与金融因果发现AI 解读

We introduce CausalAlpha, an open-source framework that constructs a high-frequency Geopolitical Risk (GPR) index from Telegram OSINT channels using natural language processing, and applies causal discovery methods to identify the directed causal structure between geopolitical uncertainty and financial market variables. Unlike standard sentiment indices or Granger-causality approaches, CausalAlpha employs the Peter-Clark (PC) algorithm to recover the directed acyclic graph…

利用尾部不对称性发现多元极端事件的因果结构AI 解读

Causal discovery in multivariate extremes is challenging because extreme observations are sparse, dependent, and often affected by latent common shocks. Existing approaches focus on undirected extremal dependence, require prior graph restriction, and do not scale beyond small systems. We introduce tail-induced asymmetry as a principle for causal directionality in heavy-tailed systems, where extreme events propagate asymmetrically so that forward tail prediction is…

限价订单簿潜在微观结构状态的早期检测AI 解读

Limit order books can transition rapidly from stable to stressed conditions, yet standard early-warning signals such as order flow imbalance and short-term volatility are inherently reactive. We formalise this limitation via a three-regime causal data-generating process (stable $\to$ latent build-up $\to$ stress) in which a latent deterioration phase creates a prediction window prior to observable stress. Under mild assumptions on temporal drift and regime persistence, we…

极端尾部关联的度量AI 解读

Simultaneous occurrences of extreme events need not imply symmetric or reciprocal tail dependence. However, most existing measures of extremal dependence are inherently symmetric and hence often fail to capture directional influence in tail association. We introduce a rank-based measure of Extreme Tail Association (ETA) for bivariate data quantifying such directional influence of one variable on another in extreme tail regions. The proposed estimator is easily computable,…

创新税：生成式人工智能采用、生产率悖论与美国银行业系统性风险AI 解读

This paper evaluates the causal impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) adoption on productivity and systemic risk in the U.S. banking sector. Using a novel dataset linking SEC 10-Q filings to Federal Reserve regulatory data for 809 financial institutions over 2018--2025, we employ two complementary identification strategies: Dynamic Spatial Durbin Models (DSDM) to capture network spillovers and Synthetic Difference-in-Differences (SDID) for causal inference…

迈向因果市场模拟器AI 解读

Market generators using deep generative models have shown promise for synthetic financial data generation, but existing approaches lack causal reasoning capabilities essential for counterfactual analysis and risk assessment. We propose a Time-series Neural Causal Model VAE (TNCM-VAE) that combines variational autoencoders with structural causal models to generate counterfactual financial time series while preserving both temporal dependencies and causal relationships. Our…

银行合并的市场反应与信息溢出：日本银行业的多方法分析AI 解读

Major bank mergers and acquisitions (M&A) transform the financial market structure, but their valuation and spillover effects remain open to question. This study examines the market reaction to two M&A events: the 2005 creation of Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group following the Financial Big Bang in Japan, and the 2018 merger involving Resona Holdings after the global financial crisis. The multi-method analysis in this research combines several distinct methods to explore these…

金融事件研究中的因果推断AI 解读

Financial event studies, ubiquitous in finance research, typically use linear factor models with known factors to estimate abnormal returns and identify causal effects of information events. This paper demonstrates that when factor models are misspecified -- an almost certain reality -- traditional event study estimators produce inconsistent estimates of treatment effects. The bias is particularly severe during volatile periods, over long horizons, and when event timing…

动态空间处理效应与网络脆弱性：2008年金融危机的理论与证据AI 解读

The 2008 financial crisis exposed fundamental vulnerabilities in interconnected banking systems, yet existing frameworks fail to integrate spatial propagation with network contagion mechanisms. This paper develops a unified spatial-network framework to analyze systemic risk dynamics, revealing three critical findings that challenge conventional wisdom. First, banking consolidation paradoxically increased systemic fragility: while bank numbers declined 47.3% from 2007 to…

欧洲银行网络传染动态：基于 Navier–Stokes 的系统性风险评估框架AI 解读

This paper develops a continuous functional framework for analyzing contagion dynamics in financial networks, extending the Navier-Stokes-based approach to network-structured spatial processes. We model financial distress propagation as a diffusion process on weighted networks, deriving a network diffusion equation from first principles that predicts contagion decay depends on the network's algebraic connectivity through the relation $κ= \sqrt{λ_2/D}$, where $λ_2$ is the…

预测市场风险的多层机器学习与计量流程：加密资产流动性溢出证据AI 解读

We study whether liquidity and volatility proxies of a core set of cryptoassets generate spillovers that forecast market-wide risk. Our empirical framework integrates three statistical layers: (A) interactions between core liquidity and returns, (B) principal-component relations linking liquidity and returns, and (C) volatility-factor projections that capture cross-sectional volatility crowding. The analysis is complemented by vector autoregression impulse responses and…

市场低谷预测：具有因果解释的机器学习方法AI 解读

This paper provides robust, new evidence on the causal drivers of market troughs. We demonstrate that conclusions about these triggers are critically sensitive to model specification, moving beyond restrictive linear models with a flexible DML average partial effect causal machine learning framework. Our robust estimates identify the volatility of options-implied risk appetite and market liquidity as key causal drivers, relationships misrepresented or obscured by simpler…

高频事件研究中因果效应的识别与估计AI 解读

We provide precise conditions for nonparametric identification of causal effects by high-frequency event study regressions, which have been used widely in the recent macroeconomics, financial economics and political economy literatures. The high-frequency event study method regresses changes in an outcome variable on a measure of unexpected changes in a policy variable in a narrow time window around an event or a policy announcement (e.g., a 30-minute window around an FOMC…

函数极小极大优化中神经随机梯度下降上升的平均场分析AI 解读

This paper studies minimax optimization problems defined over infinite-dimensional function classes of overparameterized two-layer neural networks. In particular, we consider the minimax optimization problem stemming from estimating linear functional equations defined by conditional expectations, where the objective functions are quadratic in the functional spaces. We address (i) the convergence of the stochastic gradient descent-ascent algorithm and (ii) the representation…

利用分段分位数回归改进金融网络中的因果发现AI 解读

Financial networks can be constructed using statistical dependencies found within the price series of speculative assets. Across the various methods used to infer these networks, there is a general reliance on predictive modelling to capture cross-correlation effects. These methods usually model the flow of mean-response information, or the propagation of volatility and risk within the market. Such techniques, though insightful, don't fully capture the broader…

多元 Hawkes 过程的稀疏性检验AI 解读

Multivariate Hawkes processes (MHP) are a class of point processes in which events at different coordinates interact through mutual excitation. The weighted adjacency matrix of the MHP encodes the strength of the relations, and shares its support with the causal graph of interactions of the process. We consider the problem of testing for causal relationships across the dimensions of a marked MHP. The null hypothesis is that a joint group of adjacency coefficients are null,…

系统性风险建模：时变非参数因果推断框架AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric and time-varying directed information graph (TV-DIG) framework to estimate the evolving causal structure in time series networks, thereby addressing the limitations of traditional econometric models in capturing high-dimensional, nonlinear, and time-varying interconnections among series. This framework employs an information-theoretic measure rooted in a generalized version of Granger-causality, which is applicable to both linear and nonlinear…

多尺度因果结构学习AI 解读

The inference of causal structures from observed data plays a key role in unveiling the underlying dynamics of the system. This paper exposes a novel method, named Multiscale-Causal Structure Learning (MS-CASTLE), to estimate the structure of linear causal relationships occurring at different time scales. Differently from existing approaches, MS-CASTLE takes explicitly into account instantaneous and lagged inter-relations between multiple time series, represented at…
