Abstract
The integration and innovation of finance and technology have gradually transformed the financial system into a complex one. Analyses of the causesd of abnormal fluctuations in the financial market to extract early warning indicators revealed that most early warning systems are qualitative and causal. However, these models cannot be used to forecast the risk of the financial market benchmark. Therefore, from a quantitative analysis perspective, we focus on the mean and volatility uncertainties of the stock index (benchmark) and then construct three early warning indicators: mean uncertainty, volatility uncertainty, and ALM-G-value at risk. Based on the novel warning indicators, we establish a new abnormal fluctuations warning model, which will provide a short-term warning for the country, society, and individuals to reflect in advance.
Complexity vs Empirical Score
- Math Complexity: 6.0/10
- Empirical Rigor: 5.0/10
- Quadrant: Holy Grail — high math complexity, high empirical rigor
Why this score: The paper introduces a quantitative approach to early warning systems by modeling mean and volatility uncertainties alongside a modified VaR metric (ALM-G-VaR). While it features a solid mathematical framework for risk quantification, the clarity of the presentation is hindered by minor language issues, and empirical backtesting details remain somewhat constrained.
