Multimodal Stock Price Prediction: A Case Study of the Russian Securities Market

Classical asset price forecasting methods primarily rely on numerical data, such as price time series, trading volumes, limit order book data, and technical analysis indicators. However, the news flow plays a significant role in price formation, making the development of multimodal approaches that c

Bayesian Estimation of Corporate Default Spreads

Risk-averse investors often wish to exclude stocks from their portfolios that bear high credit risk, which is a measure of a firm’s likelihood of bankruptcy. This risk is commonly estimated by constructing signals from quarterly accounting items, such as debt and income volatility. While such inform

Complex discontinuities of the square root of Fredholm determinants in the Volterra Stein-Stein model

Fourier-based methods are central to option pricing and hedging when the Fourier-Laplace transform of the log-price and integrated variance is available semi-explicitly. This is the case for the Volterra Stein-Stein stochastic volatility model, where the characteristic function is known analytically

Consumption-portfolio choice with preferences for liquid assets

This paper investigates an infinite horizon, discounted, consumption-portfolio problem in a market with one bond, one liquid risky asset, and one illiquid risky asset with proportional transaction costs. We consider an agent with liquidity preference, modeled by a Cobb-Douglas utility function that

Explicit Recursive Construction of Super-Replication Prices under Proportional Transaction Costs

We propose a constructive framework for the super-hedging problem of a European contingent claim under proportional transaction costs in discrete time. Our main contribution is an explicit recursive scheme that computes both the super-hedging price and the corresponding optimal strategy without rely

Extrapolating the long-term seasonal component of electricity prices for forecasting in the day-ahead market

Recent studies provide evidence that decomposing the electricity price into the long-term seasonal component (LTSC) and the remaining part, predicting both separately, and then combining their forecasts can bring significant accuracy gains in day-ahead electricity price forecasting. However, not muc

N-player and mean field games among fund managers considering excess logarithmic returns

This paper studies the competition among multiple fund managers with relative performance over the excess logarithmic return. Fund managers compete with each other and have expected utility or mean-variance criteria for excess logarithmic return. Each fund manager possesses a unique risky asset, and

Numerical methods for two-dimensional G-heat equation

The G-expectation is a sublinear expectation. It is an important tool for pricing financial products and managing risk thanks to its ability to deal with model uncertainty. The problem is how to efficiently quantify it since the commonly used Monte Carlo method does not work. Fortunately, the expect

To Hedge or Not to Hedge: Optimal Strategies for Stochastic Trade Flow Management

This paper addresses the trade-off between internalisation and externalisation in the management of stochastic trade flows. We consider agents who must absorb flows and manage risk by deciding whether to warehouse it or hedge in the market, thereby incurring transaction costs and market impact. Unli

VWAP Execution with Signature-Enhanced Transformers: A Multi-Asset Learning Approach

In this paper I propose a novel approach to Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) execution that addresses two key practical challenges: the need for asset-specific model training and the capture of complex temporal dependencies. Building upon my recent work in dynamic VWAP execution arXiv:2502.18177

A Dynamic Model of Private Asset Allocation

We build a state-of-the-art dynamic model of private asset allocation that considers five key features of private asset markets: (1) the illiquid nature of private assets, (2) timing lags between capital commitments, capital calls, and eventual distributions, (3) time-varying business cycle conditio

A New Traders' Game? -- Empirical Analysis of Response Functions in a Historical Perspective

Traders on financial markets generate non-Markovian effects in various ways, particularly through their competition with one another which can be interpreted as a game between different (types of) traders. To quantify the market mechanisms, we empirically analyze self-response functions for pairs of

Dynamic Factor Correlation Model

We introduce a new dynamic factor correlation model with a novel variation-free parametrization of factor loadings. The model is applicable to high dimensions and can accommodate time-varying correlations, heterogeneous heavy-tailed distributions, and dependent idiosyncratic shocks, such as those ob

Dynamic spillovers and investment strategies across artificial intelligence ETFs, artificial intelligence tokens, and green markets

This paper investigates the risk spillovers among AI ETFs, AI tokens, and green markets using the R2 decomposition method. We reveal several key insights. First, the overall transmission connectedness index (TCI) closely aligns with the contemporaneous TCI, while the lagged TCI is significantly lowe

Systemic Risk Management via Maximum Independent Set in Extremal Dependence Networks

Forecasting realized volatility in the stock market: a path-dependent perspective

Volatility forecasting in financial markets is a topic that has received more attention from scholars.

Based on these measures, we introduce a liquidity-adjusted ARMA-GARCH framework to address the limitations of t
