A Nonlinear Target-Factor Model with Attention Mechanism for Mixed-Frequency Data

We propose Mixed-Panels-Transformer Encoder (MPTE), a novel framework for estimating factor models in panel datasets with mixed frequencies and nonlinear signals. Traditional factor models rely on linear signal extraction and require homogeneous sampling frequencies, limiting their applicability to

Do Rollups Self-Organize? Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning in the EIP-4844 Blob Fee Market

EIP-4844 gave Ethereum rollups a separate fee dimension for data, governed by a multiplicative update rule that targets three ``blobs’’ per block. Whether this target is reached depends on how many independent, self-interested rollups choose to post data, a question that closed-form models address o

Empirical Models of the Time Evolution of SPX Option Prices

The key objective of this paper is to develop an empirical model for pricing SPX options that can be simulated over future paths of the SPX. To accomplish this, we formulate and rigorously evaluate several statistical models, including neural network, random forest, and linear regression. These mode
