通过筛估计进行非参数风险价值估计AI 解读

Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been employed for a range of modelling and prediction tasks using financial data. However, evidence on their predictive performance, especially for time-series data, has been mixed. Whereas some applications find that ANNs provide better forecasts than more traditional estimation techniques, others find that they barely outperform basic benchmarks. The present article aims to provide guidance as to when the use of ANNs might result in…

模型不确定性下的稳健数据驱动决策AI 解读

When sample data are governed by an unknown sequence of independent but possibly non-identical distributions, the data-generating process (DGP) in general cannot be perfectly identified from the data. For making decisions facing such uncertainty, this paper presents a novel approach by studying how the data can best be used to robustly improve decisions. That is, no matter which DGP governs the uncertainty, one can make a better decision than without using the data. I show…

多变量空间与时空 ARCH 模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a multivariate spatiotemporal autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model based on a vec-representation. The model includes instantaneous spatial autoregressive spill-over effects in the conditional variance, as they are usually present in spatial econometric applications. Furthermore, spatial and temporal cross-variable effects are explicitly modelled. We transform the model to a multivariate spatiotemporal autoregressive model using a…

状态依赖定价核下的期权定价AI 解读

We introduce a new volatility model for option pricing that combines Markov switching with the Realized GARCH framework. This leads to a novel pricing kernel with a state-dependent variance risk premium and a pricing formula for European options, which is derived with an analytical approximation method. We apply the Markov switching Realized GARCH model to S&P 500 index options from 1990 to 2019 and find that investors' aversion to volatility-specific risk is time-varying.…

使用稳健已实现积分贝塔估计量的动态已实现贝塔模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a unified parametric modeling approach for time-varying market betas that can accommodate continuous-time diffusion and discrete-time series models based on a continuous-time series regression model to better capture the dynamic evolution of market betas. We call this the dynamic realized beta (DR Beta). We first develop a non-parametric realized integrated beta estimator using high-frequency financial data contaminated by microstructure noises, which…

条件因子模型的稳健估计AI 解读

This paper develops estimation and inference methods for conditional quantile factor models. We first introduce a simple sieve estimation, and establish asymptotic properties of the estimators under large $N$. We then provide a bootstrap procedure for estimating the distributions of the estimators. We also provide two consistent estimators for the number of factors. The methods allow us not only to estimate conditional factor structures of distributions of asset returns…

基于 SURE 的稳健信号维度估计AI 解读

The estimation of signal dimension under heavy-tailed latent factor models is studied. As a primary contribution, robust extensions of an earlier estimator based on Gaussian Stein's unbiased risk estimation are proposed. These novel extensions are based on the framework of elliptical distributions and robust scatter matrices. Extensive simulation studies are conducted in order to compare the novel methods with several well-known competitors in both estimation accuracy and…

高维矩阵椭圆因子模型的流形主成分分析AI 解读

Matrix factor model has been growing popular in scientific fields such as econometrics, which serves as a two-way dimension reduction tool for matrix sequences. In this article, we for the first time propose the matrix elliptical factor model, which can better depict the possible heavy-tailed property of matrix-valued data especially in finance. Manifold Principle Component Analysis (MPCA) is for the first time introduced to estimate the row/column loading spaces. MPCA first…

Exabel 的因子模型AI 解读

Factor models have become a common and valued tool for understanding the risks associated with an investing strategy. In this report we describe Exabel's factor model, we quantify the fraction of the variability of the returns explained by the different factors, and we show some examples of annual returns of portfolios with different factor exposure.

Exabel 波动率估计方法的表现评价AI 解读

Quantifying both historic and future volatility is key in portfolio risk management. This note presents and compares estimation strategies for volatility estimation in an estimation universe consisting on 28 629 unique companies from February 2010 to April 2021, with 858 different portfolios. The estimation methods are compared in terms of how they rank the volatility of the different subsets of portfolios. The overall best performing approach estimates volatility from…

阈值非对称条件自回归极差模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a Threshold Asymmetric Conditional Autoregressive Range (TACARR) formulation for modeling the daily price ranges of financial assets. It is assumed that the process generating the conditional expected ranges at each time point switches between two regimes, labeled as upward market and downward market states. The disturbance term of the error process is also allowed to switch between two distributions depending on the regime. It is assumed that a…

加权平均分位数回归AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce the weighted-average quantile regression framework, $\int_0^1 q_{Y|X}(u)ψ(u)du = X'β$, where $Y$ is a dependent variable, $X$ is a vector of covariates, $q_{Y|X}$ is the quantile function of the conditional distribution of $Y$ given $X$, $ψ$ is a weighting function, and $β$ is a vector of parameters. We argue that this framework is of interest in many applied settings and develop an estimator of the vector of parameters $β$. We show that our…

动态时空 ARCH 模型AI 解读

Geo-referenced data are characterized by an inherent spatial dependence due to the geographical proximity. In this paper, we introduce a dynamic spatiotemporal autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) process to describe the effects of (i) the log-squared time-lagged outcome variable, i.e., the temporal effect, (ii) the spatial lag of the log-squared outcome variable, i.e., the spatial effect, and (iii) the spatial lag of the log-squared time-lagged outcome…

有能力共同基金的筛选：依赖结构下的错误发现控制AI 解读

Selecting skilled mutual funds through the multiple testing framework has received increasing attention from finance researchers and statisticians. The intercept $α$ of Carhart four-factor model is commonly used to measure the true performance of mutual funds, and positive $α$'s are considered as skilled. We observe that the standardized OLS estimates of $α$'s across the funds possess strong dependence and nonnormality structures, indicating that the conventional multiple…

无限变差温和稳定 Lévy 模型的估计AI 解读

We propose a new method for the estimation of a semiparametric tempered stable Lévy model. The estimation procedure combines iteratively an approximate semiparametric method of moment estimator, Truncated Realized Quadratic Variations (TRQV), and a newly found small-time high-order approximation for the optimal threshold of the TRQV of tempered stable processes. The method is tested via simulations to estimate the volatility and the Blumenthal-Getoor index of the generalized…

压力测试中的违约概率预测：模型比较AI 解读

Since the Great Financial Crisis (GFC), the use of stress tests as a tool for assessing the resilience of financial institutions to adverse financial and economic developments has increased significantly. One key part in such exercises is the translation of macroeconomic variables into default probabilities for credit risk by using macrofinancial linkage models. A key requirement for such models is that they should be able to properly detect signals from a wide array of…

利用多目标可诱导性回测系统性风险预测AI 解读

Systemic risk measures such as CoVaR, CoES and MES are widely-used in finance, macroeconomics and by regulatory bodies. Despite their importance, we show that they fail to be elicitable and identifiable. This renders forecast comparison and validation, commonly summarised as `backtesting', impossible. The novel notion of \emph{multi-objective elicitability} solves this problem. Specifically, we propose Diebold--Mariano type tests utilising two-dimensional scores equipped…

高维因子模型中群组特异异质性的检验AI 解读

Standard high-dimensional factor models assume that the comovements in a large set of variables could be modeled using a small number of latent factors that affect all variables. In many relevant applications in economics and finance, heterogenous comovements specific to some known groups of variables naturally arise, and reflect distinct cyclical movements within those groups. This paper develops two new statistical tests that can be used to investigate whether there is…

具有无界变差跳跃的 Lévy 过程的有效波动率估计AI 解读

Statistical inference for stochastic processes based on high-frequency observations has been an active research area for more than a decade. One of the most well-known and widely studied problems is that of estimation of the quadratic variation of the continuous component of an Itô semimartingale with jumps. Several rate- and variance-efficient estimators have been proposed in the literature when the jump component is of bounded variation. However, to date, very few methods…

纯跳点过程下基于已实现波动率的长期收益可预测性AI 解读

We develop and justify methodology to consistently test for long-horizon return predictability based on realized variance. To accomplish this, we propose a parametric transaction-level model for the continuous-time log price process based on a pure jump point process. The model determines the returns and realized variance at any level of aggregation with properties shown to be consistent with the stylized facts in the empirical finance literature. Under our model, the…

扩展Hawkes过程下的买卖报价动态及高频股票市场应用AI 解读

This study proposes a versatile model for the dynamics of the best bid and ask prices using an extended Hawkes process. The model incorporates the zero intensities of the spread-narrowing processes at the minimum bid-ask spread, spread-dependent intensities, possible negative excitement, and nonnegative intensities. We apply the model to high-frequency best bid and ask price data from US stock markets. The empirical findings demonstrate a spread-narrowing tendency,…

多变量时间序列的领先—滞后检测与网络聚类：美国股票市场应用AI 解读

In multivariate time series systems, it has been observed that certain groups of variables partially lead the evolution of the system, while other variables follow this evolution with a time delay; the result is a lead-lag structure amongst the time series variables. In this paper, we propose a method for the detection of lead-lag clusters of time series in multivariate systems. We demonstrate that the web of pairwise lead-lag relationships between time series can be…

含结构突变的线性回归中贝叶斯推断的渐近性质AI 解读

This paper studies large sample properties of a Bayesian approach to inference about slope parameters $γ$ in linear regression models with a structural break. In contrast to the conventional approach to inference about $γ$ that does not take into account the uncertainty of the unknown break location $τ$, the Bayesian approach that we consider incorporates such uncertainty. Our main theoretical contribution is a Bernstein-von Mises type theorem (Bayesian asymptotic normality)…

用机器学习搜索 GARCH 最优参数AI 解读

Here, we use Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to update and improve the efficiencies of fitting GARCH model parameters to empirical data. We employ an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to predict the parameters of these models. We present a fitting algorithm for GARCH-normal(1,1) models to predict one of the model's parameters, $α_1$ and then use the analytical expressions for the fourth order standardised moment, $Γ_4$ and the unconditional second order moment, $σ^2$ to fit…
