Research on Credit Risk Early Warning Model of Commercial Banks Based on Neural Network Algorithm

In the realm of globalized financial markets, commercial banks are confronted with an escalating magnitude of credit risk, thereby imposing heightened requisites upon the security of bank assets and financial stability. This study harnesses advanced neural network techniques, notably the Backpropaga

To Trade Or Not To Trade: Cascading Waterfall Round Robin Rebalancing Mechanism for Cryptocurrencies

We have designed an innovative portfolio rebalancing mechanism termed the Cascading Waterfall Round Robin Mechanism. This algorithmic approach recommends an ideal size and number of trades for each asset during the periodic rebalancing process, factoring in the gas fee and slippage. The essence of t

A note on continuity and asymptotic consistency of measures of risk and variability

In this short note, we show that every convex, order bounded above functional on a Frechet lattice is automatically norm continuous. This improves a result in \cite{RS06} and applies to many deviation and variability measures. We also show that an order-continuous, law-invariant functional on an Orl

Clearing time randomization and transaction fees for auction market design

Flaws of a continuous limit order book mechanism raise the question of whether a continuous trading session and a periodic auction session would bring better efficiency. This paper wants to go further in designing a periodic auction when both a continuous market and a periodic auction market are ava

NIFTY Financial News Headlines Dataset

We introduce and make publicly available the NIFTY Financial News Headlines dataset, designed to facilitate and advance research in financial market forecasting using large language models (LLMs). This dataset comprises two distinct versions tailored for different modeling approaches: (i) NIFTY-LM,

Optimal Text-Based Time-Series Indices

We propose an approach to construct text-based time-series indices in an optimal way–typically, indices that maximize the contemporaneous relation or the predictive performance with respect to a target variable, such as inflation. We illustrate our methodology with a corpus of news articles from the

The $κ$-generalised Distribution for Stock Returns

Empirical evidence shows stock returns are often heavy-tailed rather than normally distributed. The $κ$-generalised distribution, originated in the context of statistical physics by Kaniadakis, is characterised by the $κ$-exponential function that is asymptotically exponential for small values and a

Cost-Benefit Analysis using Modular Dynamic Fault Tree Analysis and Monte Carlo Simulations for Condition-based Maintenance of Unmanned Systems

Recent developments in condition-based maintenance (CBM) have helped make it a promising approach to maintenance cost avoidance in engineering systems. By performing maintenance based on conditions of the component with regards to failure or time, there is potential to avoid the large costs of syste

Geometric BSDEs

We introduce and develop the concepts of Geometric Backward Stochastic Differential Equations (GBSDEs, for short) and two-driver BSDEs. We demonstrate their natural suitability for modeling continuous-time dynamic return risk measures. We characterize a broad spectrum of associated, auxiliary ordina

Optimal information acquisition for eliminating estimation risk

This paper diverges from previous literature by considering the utility maximization problem in the context of investors having the freedom to actively acquire additional information to mitigate estimation risk. We derive closed-form value functions using CARA and CRRA utility functions and establis

The Unfairness of $\varepsilon$-Fairness

Fairness in decision-making processes is often quantified using probabilistic metrics. However, these metrics may not fully capture the real-world consequences of unfairness. In this article, we adopt a utility-based approach to more accurately measure the real-world impacts of decision-making proce

Optimizing Deep Reinforcement Learning for American Put Option Hedging

This paper contributes to the existing literature on hedging American options with Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL). The study first investigates hyperparameter impact on hedging performance, considering learning rates, training episodes, neural network architectures, training steps, and transactio

Autonomous Sparse Mean-CVaR Portfolio Optimization

The $\ell_0$-constrained mean-CVaR model poses a significant challenge due to its NP-hard nature, typically tackled through combinatorial methods characterized by high computational demands. From a markedly different perspective, we propose an innovative autonomous sparse mean-CVaR portfolio model,

Data-driven measures of high-frequency trading

High-frequency trading (HFT) accounts for almost half of equity trading volume, yet it is not identified in public data.

On Joint Marginal Expected Shortfall and Associated Contribution Risk Measures

Systemic risk is the risk that a company- or industry-level risk could trigger a huge collapse of another or even the whole institution. Various systemic risk measures have been proposed in the literature to quantify the domino and (relative) spillover effects induced by systemic risks such as the w

A Two-layer Stochastic Game Approach to Reinsurance Contracting and Competition

We propose a two-layer stochastic game model to study reinsurance contracting and competition in a market with one insurer and two competing reinsurers. The insurer negotiates with both reinsurers simultaneously for proportional reinsurance contracts that are priced using the variance premium princi
