Optimal Betting: Beyond the Long-Term Growth

While the Kelly portfolio has many desirable properties, including optimal long-term growth rate, the resulting investment strategy is rather aggressive. In this paper, we suggest a unified approach to the risk assessment of the Kelly criterion in both discrete and continuous time by introducing and

Unleashing the power of text for credit default prediction: Comparing human-written and generative AI-refined texts

This study explores the integration of a representative large language model, ChatGPT, into lending decision-making with a focus on credit default prediction. Specifically, we use ChatGPT to analyse and interpret loan assessments written by loan officers and generate refined versions of these texts.

Bayesian Optimization for CVaR-based portfolio optimization

Optimal portfolio allocation is often formulated as a constrained risk problem, where one aims to minimize a risk measure subject to some performance constraints. This paper presents new Bayesian Optimization algorithms for such constrained minimization problems, seeking to minimize the conditional

Clearing Sections of Lattice Liability Networks

Modern financial networks involve complex obligations that transcend simple monetary debts: multiple currencies, prioritized claims, supply chain dependencies, and more. We present a mathematical framework that unifies and extends these scenarios by recasting the classical Eisenberg-Noe model of fin

Heterogeneity of household stock portfolios in a national market

We study the long term dynamics of the stock portfolios owned by single Finnish legal entities in the Helsinki venue of the Nasdaq Nordic between 2001 and 2021. Using the Herfindahl-Hirschman index as a measure of concentration for the composition of stock portfolios, we investigate the concentratio

Assessing Consistency and Reproducibility in the Outputs of Large Language Models: Evidence Across Diverse Finance and Accounting Tasks

This study provides the first comprehensive assessment of consistency and reproducibility in Large Language Model (LLM) outputs in finance and accounting research. We evaluate how consistently LLMs produce outputs given identical inputs through extensive experimentation with 50 independent runs acro

China and G7 in the Current Context of the World Trading

The paper analyses trade between the most developed economies of the world. The analysis is based on the previously proposed model of international trade. This model of international trade is based on the theory of general economic equilibrium. The demand for goods in this model is built on the impo

Equilibrium with non-convex preferences: some insights

We study the existence of equilibrium when agents’ preferences may not beconvex. For some specific utility functions, we provide a necessary and sufficientcondition under which there exists an equilibrium. The standard approach cannot be directly applied to our examples because the demand correspond

Martingale property and moment explosions in signature volatility models

We study the martingale property and moment explosions of a signature volatility model, where the volatility process of the log-price is given by a linear form of the signature of a time-extended Brownian motion. Excluding trivial cases, we demonstrate that the price process is a true martingale if
