Stock price forecasting is a long-standing challenge in computational finance, driven by the inherent randomness of markets and complex temporal patterns. While recent deep-learning models have raised forecasting accuracy by jointly modeling inter-stock and temporal price dynamics, they conflate int
We provide a model for the nested optimisation problem of market making and rebate design problems in option markets and find optimal strategies. A single market maker trades multiple European call options in a local-stochastic volatility option market with both make and take strategies, modeled, re
We examine the conditional volatility dynamics of the USD 1Yx10Y forward swap rate using GARCH(1,1), GJR-GARCH(1,1), and a two-regime Markov-switching GARCH (MSGARCH) model. The analysis uses daily data from 2007 to 2023 and incorporates market-implied measures (ATM swaption volatility and the SRVIX
We study the infinite-horizon optimal investment and consumption problem in a general class of continuous financial markets, where uncertainty is driven by a continuous non-decreasing stochastic clock representing accumulated variance. This framework encompasses classical Markovian and non-Markovian
Forecasters often score the same units per date against one standardized realized outcome. We show that every standardized forecast splits exactly into a component aligned with this common target and a component uncorrelated with it. Three consequences follow: forecast-error correlation largely mirr
We study affine stochastic Volterra equations on the cone of symmetric positive semidefinite matrices. For scalar kernels acting entrywise on the matrix dynamics, we establish weak existence by exploiting stochastic invariance results for Volterra equations on convex domains and derive a conditional
Standard valuation methods, including discounted cash flow, the income approach standard IDW S 1 of the Institute of Public Auditors in Germany, and market multiples, compress milestone probabilities, continuation options, and risk shifts into opaque aggregate parameters; none provides a structured
The sooner we receive information, and the more accurate it is, the better planning decisions we can make. Every day, prediction markets let anyone bet on tomorrow’s high temperature in cities around the world, creating a market-implied forecast built on dispersed information. We use the past five y
In a statistical factor model, principal components (or eigenvectors) of a sample covariance matrix serve as estimates of {\it principal directions}, the true drivers of co-movement of a collection of observed variables. We write the often substantial error in these estimates as a sum of two interpr
High annotation reproducibility does not necessarily imply that an LLM-inferred measure captures the construct it is intended to measure. We test this distinction using a dataset from the European Commission’s AI Act consultation, linking structured survey responses to free-text consultation submiss
Automated execution algorithms are organized into schedule-based and liquidity-seeking families. This paper concerns the first, whose members – Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP), Volume-Weighted Average Price (VWAP), Percentage of Volume (POV) and Implementation Shortfall – are all model-based: e
Variance swaps are a convenient instrument for trading vega and convexity, and a listed contract now trades on Cboe. We ask when a trader should put such a position on and when she should take it off, and for a perpetual, continuously settled contract we answer both in closed form: each threshold is
We study robust bond valuation with endogenous short-rate feedback under volatility uncertainty. Within the $G$-expectation framework, the dependence of the short rate on the bond price yields a nonlinear fixed-point problem, represented by a quadratic $G$-BSDE for the logarithmic price. Under suita
This paper studies the regularity of the value function arising from a multidimensional continuous-time principal-agent model with separable, nonquadratic effort costs. The associated stochastic control problem has the output and the agent’s continuation utility as state variables, and its Hamilton-
Public evidence can become sufficient to settle a prediction-market contract before the venue records its first determination, but the relevant boundary depends on the applicable rule version, exact release object, source hierarchy, correction history, and unfinished contract conditions. This paper
Classical market-making strategies based on stochastic control, such as the Avellaneda-Stoikov and the Guéant-Lehalle-Fernandez-Tapia (GLFT) extension, provide closed-form quoting rules, but rest on assumptions that break down at realistic microstructure timescales. One of them is that order flow is
We develop Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) parity for tempered stable returns. EVaR-based inverse risk parity (IRP) and equal risk contribution (ERC) portfolios are constructed using multivariate normal tempered stable models and independent component analysis with tempered stable components. We deriv
Modeling the joint distribution of extreme values in high-dimensional financial time series is challenging because extremes are sparse and locally extreme observations are not necessarily extreme relative to their full marginal distribution. To address this, we introduce a time-dependent network Hüs
We prove that the skew stickiness ratio converges to two at short maturity under local volatility models. This appears to be the first rigorous proof of this limit for a general time-dependent local volatility function. As a by-product, we strengthen the one-half rule of the implied volatility skew
Machine learning-based credit scoring is increasingly central to Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending, yet its resilience to adversarial manipulation, where applicants strategically alter self-reported inputs to secure favourable decisions, remains poorly understood. Most adversarial-robustness evidence comes
